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

Rule 67.11 regulates emissions of volatile organic compounds from the coating of wood products and associated 

cleaning operations. The amended rule reduces the VOC content limit for various wood coating categories, 

reduces the cleaning materials VOC limit to 25 grams/liter unless some specified cleaning and emission control 

equipment is used, clarifies record keeping requirements and updates existing definitions of terms used in the 

rule. In addition, the amended rule reduces the small usage exemption from 500 gallons to 20 gallons of coatings 

per year, and updates the test methods for determining VOC and exempt compounds contents of coatings and

cleaning materials.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when implemented, will result in quantifiable changes in emissions. Attach reference(s) for emission factor(s) 

and other information. Attach calculation sheet showing how the emission information provided below was determined.

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: N/A

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissions: 2010 Area Affected: San Diego County

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible):

There are approximately 125 sources affected by this amendment. The total annual VOC emissions from wood coating 

operations in San Diego County are approximately 157 tons per year (0.43 tons per day). The amendments will result in 

emission reductions of approximately 19 tons of VOC per year, a 12% reduction.
