Request the approval and adoption of the following: 1) two new rules: Rule 

400.3, Internal Combustion Engine(s), Rule 400.4, Emissions of Oxides of 

Nitrogen From Wallboard Kilns, and three revised rules with two versions of 

Rule 207: Rule 101, Definitions, Rule 206, Processing of Applications, and 

two versions of Rule 207, New and Modified Stationary Source Review one 

version for submittal to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the second 

version all encompassing general Rule 207 which includes non-SIP 

approvable requirements mandated by the State of California 2) approval of 

associated staff reports and associated findings for both the newly 

proposed rules and the revised rules. 

The Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (Air District) respectfully requests 

approval and adoption of 1) two new rules: Rule 400.3, Internal Combustion Engine(s), 

Rule 400.4, Emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen From Wallboard Kilns, and three revised 

rules with two versions of Rule 207: Rule 101, Definitions, Rule 206, Processing of 

Applications, and two versions of Rule 207, New and Modified Stationary Source Review 

one version for submittal to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the second version 

all encompassing general Rule 207 which includes non-SIP approvable requirements 

mandated by the State of California 2) approval of associated staff reports and its findings 

for both the newly proposed rules and the revised rules. 

The Air District is asking for the Board's consideration in adopting the following: 

1. Rule 101 -The proposed revisions to Rule 101 include new or revised definitions, 

consistent with the revisions proposed under Rule 207 for the SIP submittal 

version and the general all encompassing version which includes requirements 

mandated by the State of California. Rule 101 similarly includes a revision to the 

definition of Volatile Organic Compounds, specifically the definition incorporates 

the latest federal exclusions to certain compounds deemed exempt by the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency. Finally, administrative changes were 

made throughout the Rule correcting formatting and spelling. 

2. Rule 206- The proposed revisions to Rule 206 are consistent with the processing 

of applications as described in Rule 207. 

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY I AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER 
3. Rule 207 -has been revised to address requirements under the federal New 

Source Review program as well as to address California requirements for new and 

modified sources. The version for SIP submittal has revisions that make the rule 

consistent with the federal New Sourqe Program specifically pertaining to PM2.s· 

In addition, thresholds were corrected, where applicable, to reflect federal 

designation classifications such as for PM1o. The general all encompassing 

version not only includes the changes consistent with the federal New Source 

Program but includes California state new source review requirements for 

pollutants not considered criteria and/or are considered minor sources. 

4. Rule 400.3- the newly proposed Rule has been developed to fulfill commitments 

made in the 2009 Ozone Modified SIP and Reasonably Available Control 

Measures SIP for Imperial County. Adopting the Rule will further reinforce RACT 

in Imperial County 

5. Rule 400.4- Like Rule 400.3 the newly proposed Rule has been developed to fulfill 

commitments made in the 2009 Ozone Modified SIP and Reasonably Available 

Control Measures SIP for Imperial County. Adopting the Rule will further 

reinforce RACT in Imperial County 

6. Two staff reports were developed one for the series of Rules associated with the 

New Source Review program in Imperial County. The rules encompassing the 

New Source Review program in Imperial County include Rule 101, Rule 206 and 

Rule 2087. The second staff report addresses the newly proposed Rules 400.3 

and 400.4. Both staff reports contain specific information regarding applicability 

and findings. 

Recommendations 

Air District staff recommends Board adoption of items 1 through 6 listed above for 

inclusion into the Imperial County State Implementation Plan (SIP).
