PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Feather River Air Quality Management District ("District") will conduct a public hearing 

on Monday, October 6, 2014 at 4:00p.m. in the Yuba County Government Center, Wheatland Conference Room 

located at 915 8th Street, Marysville, CA. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the amendments of District Rule 10.1 -

New Source Review, District Rule 10.9- Rice Straw Emission Reduction Credits and Banking, and District Rule 3.22-

Internal Combustion Engines. 

Rule 10.1 contains procedures for the review of new and modified stationary air pollution sources and provides 

mechanisms by which permits may be granted without interfering with the attainment or maintenance of ambient air 

quality standards and includes the pre-construction permit program required under Part D of title I of the Clean Air Act. 

The purpose of the proposed amendments of Rule 10.1 is to correct deficiencies identified in the rule by the U.S. EPA. 

Minor changes are needed to gain full U.S. EPA approval. 

Rule 10.9 contains procedures for the review and issuance of rice straw Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) in the 

Sacramento Federal Nonattainment Area (SFNA) of the District. ERCs banked under this rule can be used as valid offsets 

for federal purposes in the SFNA. The purpose of the proposed amendments of Rule 10.9 is to change the definition for 

Historic Burn Fraction to be equal to 100% and to correct other typographical errors. 

Rule 3.22 controls emissions of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and carbon monoxide from Internal 

Combustion Engines with a rated brake horsepower of 50 or greater. Rule 3.22 was adopted pursuant to CAA Section 

172(c)(1) and 40 CFR 51.912(d). The purpose of the proposed amendments of Rule 3.22 is to correct deficiencies identified 

in the rule by the U.S. EPA and to add an additional test method- EPA Method 18- to the rule as an allowable option for 

VOC source testing on internal combustion engines. Minor changes are needed to gain full U.S. EPA approval. 

The analysis for the proposed rules, as required by California Health & Safety Code section 40727.2, a copy of the staff 

reports, the proposed rules, and all supporting documentation are available upon request from the District. 

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that should the amendments be adopted, the amended Rules 10.1, 10.9, and 3.22 will be 

submitted to the California Air Resources Board and the United States Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion into 

the State Implementation Plan.
