### STAFF REPORT

Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Cat egories

I. PURPOSE OF STAFF REPORT

A staff report serves several discrete purposes. I ts primary purpose is to provide a summary and background material to the members of the Governing Board. This allows the members of the Governing Board to be fully informed before making any required decision. It also provides the documentation necessary for the Governing Board to make any findings, which are required by law to be made prior to the approval or adoption of a docu ment. In addition, a staff report ensures that the correct procedures and proper documentation for app roval or adoption of a document have been performed. Finally, the staff report provides evid ence for defense against legal challenges regarding the propriety of the approval or adoption of the do cument.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) Governing Board is being requested to conduct a public hearing, make finding s, and then adopt a resolution adopting the Federal Negative Declarations for Twenty Source Categories and directing staff actions. These “Federal Negative Declarations” (FNDs) are different from th e Negative Declarations associated with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Inste ad, these FNDs, once adopted by the Governing Board, will serve as official certification to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that there are no stationary sources or emi tting facilities in these categories located within the area designated as non-attainment for ozone within the AVAQMD.

Adoption of the FNDs will satisfy the specific fede ral requirement described below. Their adoption does not satisfy any other state or federal require ments imposed upon the District. There are no emission reductions associated with this action bec ause it does not change any existing rules or regulations.

The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) requires areas des ignated non-attainment and classified moderate and above to implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources subject to Control Technique Guidelines (CTG) documents issued by the USEPA for “major sources” of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides of nitrogen (NO x) which are ozone precursors. Effective May 27, 2008 (73 FR 16436, March 27, 2008), USEPA lower ed the primary ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) from 0.084 parts per milli on (ppm) to 0.075 ppm. For purposes of the FCAA, the District has been designated non-attainme nt for ozone and classified as Severe-15 for the new 0.075 ppm 8-hour standard. As a result of the shift to the 0.075 ppm standard, USEPA is requiring that all non-attainment areas submit an u pdated RACT SIP Analysis . The purpose of the RACT SIP Analysis is to ensure that District rules adequately addres s current RACT requirements. For those source categories not represented within the area designated non-attainment for ozone, USEPA requires the submission of a FND certifying that th ose sources are not present. These FNDs are revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), a nd consequently they must be adopted after public notice and hearing (42 U.S.C. §7410(1), FCAA §110(1 )).2 AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015 The public hearing to consider the adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories was originally noticed for the May 19, 2015 Govern ing Board meeting. The AVAQMD received substantive comments from USEPA and contin ued the hearing to June 16, 2015 and again to July 21, 2015 to address the comments. Three addit ional source categories were added to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

.

III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Governing Board of the AV AQMD, after conducting a public hearing, adopt the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Cat egories. Such action is necessary to satisfy the federal requirements for submission of FNDs for each source category not represented within the District covered by a CTG or which meets the defini tion of a major source.

The Governing Board of the Antelope Valley Air Qual ity Management District adopted the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories on July 21, 2015.AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories 3

A. REQUIRED ELEMENTS/FINDINGS

This section discusses the State of California stat utory requirements that apply to the adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Cat egories. Since this document is required to be adopted pursuant to public notice an d other requirements under 42 USC 7410(a)(2), the District considers the rule adoptio n process pursuant to H&S Code §40702 to be a proper way to meet these requirements. Therefore , these are actions, that need to be performed, and/or information that must be provided , in order to adopt this document in a procedurally correct manner.

1. State Findings Required for Adoption of Rules & Regulations:

Before adopting, amending, or repealing a rule or r egulation, the AVAQMD Governing Board is required to make findings of necessity, au thority, clarity, consistency, nonduplication, and reference based upon relevant info rmation presented at the hearing. The information below is provided to assist the Gov erning Board in making these findings.

a. Necessity:

The adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is necessary because for those source categories n ot represented within the area designated non-attainment for ozone , and covered by a CTG or which meet the definition of a major source, USEPA requires the submission of a FND certifying that those sources are not present

. b. Authority:

AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to California Hea lth and Safety Code (H&S Code) §40702, 40725-40728 to adopt, amend or r epeal rules and regulations and to do such actions that are necessa ry or proper to execute the powers and duties granted to and imposed upon AVAQM D. While this action is not specifically a rule or regulation it is a docum ent necessary to execute the powers and duties grant to and imposed upon the AVA QMD.

c. Clarity:

The adoption is clear in that it is written so that the persons can easily understand the scope and necessity of the FND.

d. Consistency:

The adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is in harmony with, and not in conflict with or co ntradictory to any state law or regulation, federal law or regulation, or court decisions. ThisAVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories 5

Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015

document is required to be developed pursuant to th e FCAA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

e. Nonduplication:

The adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories does not impose the same requirements as an existi ng state or federal law or regulation because federal law requires the adoption and certification of “Negative Declarations” for those source categories not represented within the area designated non-attainment for ozone which are covered by a CTG or which meet the definition of a major source.

f. Reference:

AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code §4070 2 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations and other documents re quired to execute the powers and duties granted to and imposed upon the AVAQMD.

g. Public Notice & Comment, Public Hearing:

Notice for the public hearing for the proposed adop tion of Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories was published April 17, 2015 for the May 19, 2015 Governing Board Meeting. This hearing was continued to June 16, 2015 and again to July 21, 2015 to address USEPA co mments. Three additional source categories were added to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

. See Appendix “B” for a copy of the public notice. See Appendix C for copies of commen ts, if any, and AVAQMD
responses.
2. Federal Elements (SIP Submittals, Other Federal Submittals).

Submittals to USEPA are required to include various elements depending upon the type of document submitted and the underlying federal la w which requires the submittal. The information below indicates which elements are required for the adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Cat egories and how they were satisfied.

a. Satisfaction of Underlying Federal Requirements:

The adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is subject to all the requirements for a SIP submi ttal because the RACT SIP Analysis “Negative Declarations” will be i ncluded in the AVAQMD SIP. The criteria for determining completeness of SIP submissions are set forth in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix V, 2.0.6 AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015 b. Public Notice and Comment:

Notice for the public hearing for the proposed adop tion of Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories was published April 17, 2015 for the May 19, 2015 Governing Board Meeting. This hearing was continued to June 16, 2015 and again to July 21, 2015 to address USEPA co mments. Three additional source categories were added to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

. See Appendix “B” for a copy of the public notice.

c. Availability of Document:

Copies of the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Cat egories and the accompanying draft staff report were made avail able to the public on or before April 17, 2015. In response to USEPA commen ts, three additional source categories were added to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

. d. Notice to Specified Entities

Copies of the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Cat egories and the accompanying draft staff report was mailed to a ll affected agencies, including but not limited to CARB and USEPA. The p roposed amendments were sent to CARB and USEPA on April 17, 2015. In response to USEPA comments, three additional source categories were a dded to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

. e. Public Hearing:

A public hearing to consider the proposed adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories was set for May 19, 2015. This hearing was continued to June 16, 2015 and again to July 21, 2015. Continuation was necessary to address comments rece ived from USEPA. Three additional source categories were added to the Federal Negative Declarations for 17 CTG Source Categories and the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories was adopted on July 21, 2015

. f. Legal Authority to Adopt and Implement:

The AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code § 40702 to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and regulations and to do su ch acts as may be necessary or proper to execute the duties imposed upon the AV AQMD.AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories 7

Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015

g. Applicable State Laws and Regulations Were Follo wed:

Public notice and hearing procedures pursuant to H& S Code §§40725-40728 have been followed. See Section (V)(A)(1) above fo r compliance with state findings required pursuant to H&S Code §40727. See Section (V)(B) below for compliance with the required analysis of existing r equirements pursuant to H&S Code §40727.2. See Section (V)(C) for compliance w ith economic analysis requirements pursuant to H&S Code §40920.6. See Se ction (V)(D) below for compliance with provisions of the California Enviro nmental Quality Act (CEQA).

B. WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF EXISTING REQUIREMENTS

H&S Code §40727.2 requires air districts to prepare a written analysis of all existing federal air pollution control requirements that app ly to the same equipment or source type as the rule proposed for modification by the d istrict. The adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is required to adopt and certify FNDs for those source categories not represented wi thin the area designated nonattainment for ozone.

C. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

1. General

Adoption of the FNDs will identify CTG source categ ories not represented within the area designated non-attainment. The adoption will have no economic impact.

2. Incremental Cost Effectiveness

Pursuant to H&S Code §40920.6, incremental cost eff ectiveness calculations are required for rules and regulations which are adopte d or amended to meet the California Clean Air Act requirements for Best Available Retro fit Control Technology (BARCT) or “all feasible measures” to control volatile comp ounds, oxides of nitrogen or oxides of sulfur.

The proposed adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is not subject to incremental cost effectiveness c alculations because this rule does not impose BARCT or “all feasible measures”.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (CEQA)

Through the process described below, it was determi ned that a Notice of Exemption would be the appropriate CEQA process for the proposed adopt ion of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories

.8 AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015 1. The proposed adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories meets the CEQA definition of “project.” They are not “ministerial” actions.

2. The proposed adoption of the Federal Negative Declarations for 20 CTG Source Categories is exempt from CEQA review because it will not cre ate any adverse impacts on the environment since there are no sourc es in these 20 categories and this document merely certifies this fact. Because there is no potential that the adoption might cause the release of additional air contaminants or create any adverse environmental impacts, a Class 8 categorica l exemption (14 Cal. Code Reg. §15308) applies.

E. SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

1. Potential Environmental Impacts

There are no potential negative environmental impac ts of compliance with the proposed adoption of the FNDs.

2. Mitigation of Impacts

N/A

3. Alternative Methods of Compliance

N/A

F. PUBLIC REVIEW

See Staff Report Section (V)(A)(1)(g) and (2)(b), a s well as Appendix B.

VI. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

USEPA is requiring that all non-attainment areas su bmit an updated RACT SIP Analysis. The purpose of the RACT SIP Analysis is to ensure that District rules adequately address current RACT requirements. Current AVAQMD review has ident ified many CTG source categories that do not have corresponding sources (major or mi nor) within the jurisdiction of the AVAQMD. For these CTG source categories the AVAQMD is filing FNDs. In some cases the FND is merely an update of an earlier FND. Table 1 gives a brief overview of the proposed FNDs and the underlying CTG evaluated for the adopt ion of the FNDs for 20 CTG Source Categories.
The AVAQMD currently has rules that cover some of t he CTG source categories despite the fact that these sources existent in the District do not the threshold requirements for CTG applicability. Rules 463 – Storage of Organic Liquids, 1102 – Petroleum Solvent Dry Cleaners , and Rule 1104 – Wood Flat Stock Coating Operations cover sources that are not large enough to trigger CTG applicability. Adoptio n of FNDs for these categories does not affect the SIP status of the existing rules nor doe s it preclude the District from amending such rules in the future and submitting them as SIP revi sions.AVAQMD FND for 20 CTG Source Categories 9

1. SIP History.

The AVAPCD came into existence pursuant to statute on July 1, 1997 Health & Safety Code 40106, A.B. 266-Knight Ch. 542, statute s of 1996). The rules and regulations of the SCAQMD remain in effect within t he AVAPCD until the AVAPCD Governing Board adopts, amends or rescinds n ew ones Health & Safety Code 40106(e)). Since the SIP applies to the territory for which it was approved at the time it was approved, the AVAPCD al so inherited the SCAQMD SIP applicable to the Los Angeles County por tion of the South East Desert Air Basin (now called the Mojave Desert Air Basin) prior to July 1, 1997. On January 1, 2002 the AVAQMD was created pursuant to statute H&S Code 41300 et seq.) to replace the AVAPCD. Once again th e SIP in effect at the time of the change remained in effect until the AVAQMD G overning Board superseded, amended or rescinded it.

2. SIP Analysis.

The AVAQMD has a variety of FNDs adopted or carried over from its predecessor agencies. These are:

Final Staff Report, 08/17/2015 The AVAQMD will add FNDs for those source categorie s where there is an existing SIP rule but that source category does not meet the CTG threshold (Fi xed-Roof Tanks, Floating Roof Tanks, Large Petroleum Dry Cleaners, and Flat Wood Paneling). F iling a FND does not mean that the District will not subsequently amend its rule and update the SIP at a future time. 1.
