36. Adopt Proposed Rule 1420.1 - Emissions Standard for Lead From Large Lead-acid Battery Recycling Facilities 
    (Continued from September 10, 2010 Board Meeting)
    Chang (909) 396-3186
    (echang@aqmd.gov)
    On October 15, 2008, the U.S. EPA amended the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for Lead. The standard has been lowered from 1.5 µg/m3 to 0.15 µg/m3 in order to provide an adequate margin of safety that would ensure the protection of public health. Based on current monitoring data, large lead-acid battery recycling facilities are one of the largest sources of lead. Proposed Rule 1420.1 establishes additional requirements for large lead-acid battery recycling facilities to meet attainment of the new NAAQS for Lead.
