Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

To fulfill federal Reasonably Available Control Tec hnology (RACT) requirements for volatile organic co mpounds (VOC) which are ozone precursors. Amended rule cha nges include: - An exemption was added to exclude all adhesive materials that fall under other District rules. - Contact adhesives exemption was modified to be consistent with U.S. EPA Consumer Product require ments. - Low-volume low-pressure (LVLP) was removed as an allowable application method. - For high viscosity adhesives, allow use of air less sprayer, air-assisted airless sprayer, and air -atomized spray. - Adhesives sub-categories, and appropriate VOC content limits, were added. - The PVC Welding Sealant sub-category was elimi nated since the limit expired on April 8, 2002. - Solvent cleaning VOC content limits were made consistent with other District rules. - Work practices requirements were added to mini mize VOC emissions from solvent handling. - VOC content limits expressed in pounds per gal lon were corrected. - Product labeling requirements were modified. - Test methods were added and applicable test me thods were updated to the most current versions. - Other minor changes were made for document rea dability and consistency.

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when imp lemented, will result in quantifiable changes in em issions. Attach reference(s) for emission factor(s )

and other information. Attach calculation sheet sh owing how the emission information provided below w as determined

.

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Sourc e Category: None

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissio ns: 2008 Area Affected: Within the District jurisdiction. Placer County and local Air Basins (Sacramento Valley, Mou ntain Counties, and Lake Tahoe)

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible) : Based on a 100% full compliance and penetration, we project a small amount of VOC emission reduction ( 0.02 ton/day, 5%). However, this reduction will be less due to c ompliance rate expected of about 70%.CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD

Baseline Inventory in the SIP for the Control Measu re: 0.34 ton/day (2002 Baseline Inventory)

Revised Baseline Inventory (if any): None

Revised Emission Reduction Estimate (if developed): None

Note that the district’s input to the Rule Evaluati on Form will not be used as input to the ARB’s emis sion forecasting and planning.

III. SOURCES/ATTAINMENT STATUS

District is: Attainment Nonattainment Split

Approximate Total Number of Small (<100 TPY) Source s Affected by this Amendment: One (1) permitted ma nufacturer and many other sources that perform adhesives and s ealants operations.

Percent in Nonattainment Area: 93 %

Number of Large (> 100 TPY) Sources Controlled: Ze ro (0) Percent in Nonattainment Area: Not appl icable because there are no large sources%

Name(s) and Location(s) (city and county) of Large (> 100 TPY) Sources Controlled by Rule (Attach additional sheets as

necessary) : Not applicable because there are no large sources.

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: Rule 235, Adhesives, was done to meet RACT as required by our District SIP requirements. This amendments to Rule 235 may assist the District atta in additional VOC emission reductions to those comm itted and help to

achieve attainment with ozone standards in our Sacr amento Valley and Mountain counties Air basins.
