BOARD MEETING DATE: March 5, 2010
AGENDA NO. 2

PROPOSAL:

Set Public Hearing April 2, 2010 to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations:

Amend Rule 1144 - Vanishing Oils and Rust Inhibitors. Rule 1144 was adopted on March 6, 2009 which partially implemented Control Measure CTS-01 - Emission Reductions from Lubricants. The current proposal will expand the applicability of the rule to include Direct-Contact Lubricants and Metal Working Fluids by establishing VOC limits. The proposal also prohibits the sale of non-compliant fluids and incorporates a recently-validated test method for determining VOC content. These amendments will fully implement Control Measure CTS-01. (Review: Stationary Source Committee, February 19, 2010) 

The complete text of the proposed amendment, staff report, and other supporting documents will be available from the District’s Public Information Center, (909) 396-2550, and on the Internet (www.aqmd.gov) on March 2, 2010.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Set Public Hearing April 2, 2010 to amend Rule 1144.
