### STAFF REPORT

Amendment of Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts

and Rescission of Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations

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

On July 1, 1997 the Antelope Valley Air Pollution C ontrol District (AVAPCD) was created pursuant to statute (former Health & Safety (H&S) Code §4010 6, A.B. 266-Knight Ch. 542, statutes of 1996) and assumed all air pollution control responsibilit ies from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the area of Los Angeles Count y outside the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The SCAQMD rules in effect within the jurisdiction of the AVAPCD remained in effect until the AVAPCD Governing Board superseded, amended or resci nded them. On January 1, 2002 the AVAQMD was created pursuant to statute (H&S Code §4 1300 et seq.) to replace the AVAPCD. Once again the rules in effect at the time of the change remained in effect until the AVAQMD Governing Board superseded, amended or rescinded them. The S CAQMD last amended both Rule 1128 and Rule 1130 on March 8, 1996 and these are the current ver sions in the AVAQMD rulebook.

The AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code § 40702 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations. The AVAQMD is proposing to amend Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts and to rescind Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations . The provisions of Rule 1128 have been incorporated into the amended version of Rule 1130, as the basis for the rules are similar and many redundancies exist.

Former H&S Code §39614(d) (expired by its terms Jan uary 1, 2011) required the AVAQMD to adopt the most readily available, feasible and cost-effec tive local control measures for Particulate Matter (PM) as contained on a list developed by the Califo rnia Air Resources Board (CARB). Since the AVAQMD committed to adopt such reasonable measures pursuant to H&S Code §39614(d) 1 and is also required to do so to satisfy federal RACM requ irements the AVAQMD evaluated the availability, feasibility and cost effectiveness of the applicabl e CARB coating operations (graphic arts) control

1 AVAQMD List and Implementation Schedule for Distri ct Measures to Reduce PM Pursuant to Health & Safety Code §39614(d), Adopted August 16, 2005.2 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 measures 2 to satisfy both requirements. This analysis is in cluded in section (V)(C)(2) of this staff report. CARB has identified on its list of local c ontrol measures the “Coating Operations: Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations” (referenced #7 6) strategy of specifying VOC content of applicable coatings, drying and curing processes, a pplication methods and cleaning requirements. This measure has been identified as being currently impl emented in the March 8, 1996 version of Rule 1128; therefore, no additional analysis is necessar y. CARB has also identified on its list of local control measures the “Coating Operations: Graphic A rts” (referenced #70) strategy of limiting VOC content of products to between 150-300 g/L or by in stalling a control device. The AVAQMD committed to further evaluate this measure. The pr oposed amendments to Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 address the PM Analysis.

Additionally, the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) requ ires areas designated non-attainment and classified moderate and above to implement Reasonab ly Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources subject to Control Technology Guidelines (C TG) documents issued by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for “major sources” of VOCs and oxides of nitrogen (NO X ) which are ozone precursors. The AVAQMD adopted t he 8-Hour Reasonably Available Control Technology – State Implementation Analysis (RACT SI P Analysis) in August 2006. In this document the AVAQMD identified that this rule had been deeme d RACT and proposed no further action was required as a result of the RACT SIP Analysis. In RACT SIP correspondence from USEPA September 11, 2006, it was noted that “ on August 4, 2006, EPA proposed four new CTGs cover ing lithographic printing materials, letterpress printing materials, flexible packaging materials, flat wood paneling coatings, and industrial cleaning solvents. While the current RACT SIP analysis does not need to address these new CTGs, the notice points out that States (and local air districts) should submit thei r SIP revisions within one year of the date the CTGs are finalized .” In September, 2006, USEPA finalized the new CTGs covering lithographic printi ng materials, letterpress printing materials, flexi ble packaging printing materials and industrial cleanin g solvents.

USEPA has designated San Joaquin Valley Air Polluti on Control District (SJVAPCD) Rule 4607 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil, and Fabric Oper ations (12/18/08, SIP Approved 74 FR 52894 on 10/15/2009), Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Ma nagement District (SMAQMD) Rule 450 Graphic Arts Operations (10/23/08, SIP Approved 75 FR 18068 on 04/09/2010) , and Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Rule 1117 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil and Fabric Coatings (09/28/2009, SIP approved 77 FR 12495, 03/01/2012) as RACT rules. SJVAPCD Rule 4607 was used as a basis for the amendments to Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts.

The proposed amendments to Rule 1130 address both F ormer H&S Code §39614(d) and federal RACT requirements. The proposed amendments expand the a pplicability of the rule; updates definitions; updates VOC content limits for different graphic ar ts product categories; updates VOC emission control system limits; updates solvent cleaning ope ration limits; and, updates exemptions, recordkeeping and test methods. The provisions of Rule 1128 have been incorporated into the

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 V. DISCUSSION OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

A. REQUIRED ELEMENTS/FINDINGS

This section discusses the State of California stat utory requirements that apply to the amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1 128. These are actions, that need to be performed, and/or information, that must be provide d in order to rescind a rule and amend a rule 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 Governing Board of the AVAQMD is required to make findings of necessit y, authority, clarity, consistency, non-duplication, and reference based upon relevant information presented at the hearing. The information below is provided to assi st the Board in making these findings.

a. Necessity:

The amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Ru le 1128 are necessary to satisfy the provisions of former H&S Code §39614(d) which required the adoption of readily available, feasible and cost-ef fective control measures for PM as well as to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§7511a (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) §182) which requires that ozone nonattainment areas implement RACT for sources that are subject to CTGs for major sources of ozone. This rule amendment incorporates the provisions of Rule 1128 into the amended version of Rule 1130, as the basis for the rules are simila r and many redundancies exist. Rule 1128 was rescinded.

b. Authority:

AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code §4070 2 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations.

c. Clarity:

The amendment of Rule 1130 and rescission of Rule 1 128 are clear in that they are written so that the persons subject to the rule s can easily understand the meaning.

d. Consistency:

The amendment of Rule 1130 and rescission of Rule 1 128 are in harmony with, and not in conflict with or contradictory to, any s tate law or regulation, federal law or regulation, or court decisions.6 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 USEPA has issued five CTGs which have an impact on Rule 1128 and 1130: CTG for Flexible Package Printing (EPA 453/R-06-003 , 2006/09); CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printi ng (EPA 453/R-06-02, 2006/09); CTG for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings (E PA 453/R-07-003, 2007/09); CTG for Control of VOCs from Existing Sta tionary Sources – Volume II; Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, F abrics, Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks (EPA 450/2-77-008, 1977/05); and, CTG for Control of VOCs from Existing Stationary Sources – Volume III: Graphic ArtsRotogravure and Flexography (EPA 450/2-78-033, 1978 /12). The CTGs establish requirements and emission limits for VOCs but do not directly implement them. Most of these emission limits have been previously included in Rule 1128 and 1130 and the few which were not or iginally included are being added by the proposed amendments, therefore the ame ndments are not in conflict or inconsistent with the CTGs.

There are two Federal New Source Performance Standa rds (NSPS) that apply to Rule 1128 and 1130: 40 CFR 60 Subpart QQ (Standard s of Performance for the Graphic Arts Industry: Publication Rotogravure Prin ting; and 40 CFR 60 Subpart RR (Standards of Performance for Pressure S ensitive Tape and Label Surface Coating Operations. The amendments are not in conflict with either NSPS.

There are three Maximum Achievable Performance Stan dards (MACTs) that apply to graphic arts; Subpart KK (National Emissio n Standards for the Printing and Publishing Industry); Subpart OOOO (Fabric Prin ting, Coating and Dyeing); and, Subpart JJJJ (National Emissions Stan dards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paper and other Web Coating). The amen dments are not in conflict with the MACT standards.

e. Non-duplication:

The amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Ru le 1128 does not impose the same requirements as an existing state or feder al law or regulation because the District is adopting this rule in response to f ormer H&S Code §39614(d) and federal VOC RACT requirements.

f. Reference:

AVAQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code §4070 2 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations. The District was req uired to adopt readily available, feasible and cost-effective control measures for pa rticulate matter from a list of potential local control measures promulgated by CAR B pursuant to former H&S Code §39614(d), and to implement RACT for sources s ubject to CTG documents issued by USEPA for “major sources” of VO Cs and NO X which are
ozone precursors.AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 7

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14

g. Public Notice & Comment, Public Hearing:

Notice for the public hearing for the proposed amen dment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 were published 08/16/2013 f or the 09/17/2013 Governing Board meeting. This action was continued to the 10 /15/2013 and then the 11/19/2013 Governing Board meeting to address USEPA comments and allow for further industry review and comment. See Appendix “B” for a copy of the public notice. See Appendix C for copies of comments, 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 proposed amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1 128 and how they were satisfied.

a. Satisfaction of Underlying Federal Requirements:

The FCAA requires areas designated non-attainment a nd classified moderate and above to implement RACT for sources su bject to CTG documents issued by EPA for “major sources” of VOCs and NO X that are ozone precursors. The AVAQMD has Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric and Film Coating Operations , a RACT rule which was approved into the SIP in 1992 (58 FR 66286), but this rule does not c over all possible surface coating CTG source categories such as foil. The AVAQMD also has Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts , a RACT rule which was approved into the SIP in 1995 (60 FR 55312), but this rule does not c over recommended work practices covered in the CTGs. A RACT rule is technically required for all portions of this CTG source catego ry. In a recent review of a similar rule, USEPA directed the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) to evaluate San Joaqui n Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) Rule 4607 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil, and Fabric Operations (12/18/08), Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) Rule 8-20 – Graphic Arts Printing and Coating Operations (11/19/08), and Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQM D) Rule 450 Graphic Arts Operations (10/23/08) as RACT rules, and the AVAQMD evaluated the same rules for this rule amendment. SJVAPCD Rule 4607 was used as a basis for the amendments to Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil, and Fabric Operations.

b. Public Notice and Comment:

Notice for the public hearing for the proposed amen dment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 were published 08/16/2013 f or the 09/17/2013 Governing Board meeting. This action was continued to the 10 /15/2013 and then the8 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 11/19/2013 Governing Board meeting to address USEPA comments and allow for further industry review and comment. See Appendix “B” for a copy of the public notice.

c. Availability of Document:

Copies of the proposed amendment of Rule 1130 and t he rescission of Rule 1128 and the accompanying draft staff report were made a vailable to the public on 07/29/2013. The revised Staff Report and rule were reposted on the district website on 10/02/2013 to allow for additional publi c review.

d. Notice to Specified Entities

Copies of the proposed amendment of Rule 1130 and t he rescission of Rule 1128 and the accompanying draft staff report were m ailed to all affected agencies, including but not limited to CARB and USE PA on 07/29/2013.

e. Public Hearing:

A public hearing to consider the proposed amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 was set for 09/17/2013. Th is action was continued to the 10/15/2013 and then the 11/19/2013 Governing Board meeting to address USEPA comments and allow for further industry review and comment.
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.

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 apply to the sa me equipment or source type as the rule proposed for modification by the district.AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 9

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 The USEPA has issued several recent CTGs which have an impact on Rule 1128 and Rule 1130. The CTG for Flexible Package Printing (EPA 4 53/R-06-003, September 2006) provides recommendations for reducing VOC emissions from ink s, coatings, adhesives and cleaning materials used in flexible packaging printing. The CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing (EPA 453/R-06-02, September 20 06) provides control recommendations for reducing VOC emissions stemming from the use of fountain solutions, cleaning materials and inks in offset lithographic printing and cleani ng materials and inks in letterpress printing. The CTG for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings (EPA 453 /R-07-003, September 2007) provides control recommendations for reducing VOC emissions stemming from the use of coatings in paper, film and foil surface coating operations. C oating performed on, or in-line with, any offset lithographic, screen, letterpress, flexograp hic, rotogravure, or digital printing press is part of a printing process and is not part of the paper, film, and foil coating category.

Four additional CTGs were reviewed

. The Control of VOCs from Existing Stationary Sour ces – Volume I; Control Methods for Surface-Coating Ope rations (EPA 450/2-76-028, November 1976), although often listed with the CTGs for hist orical reasons, this document does not define RACT for any source. It is a compilation of control techniques (pursuant to USEPA comment). The Control of VOCs from Existing Statio nary Sources – Volume II; Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks (EPA 450/2-77- 008, May 1977) provides levels of VOC for all coati ngs put on paper, pressure sensitive tapes regardless of substrate (including paper, fabric or plastic film) and related web coating processes on plastic film such as typewriter ribbon s, photographic film, and magnetic tape. The Control of VOCs from Existing Stationary Source s – Volume III: Graphic ArtsRotogravure and Flexography (EPA 450/2-78-033, 1978 /12) deals with VOC emission from the graphic arts operations which utilize inks cont aining VOCs (does not apply to offset lithography or letterpress printing). The Control of VOC Emissions from Ink and Paint Manufacturing Processes (EPA-450/3-92-013, April 19 92) deals with emission control techniques and cleaning practices throughout the ma nufacturing process of inks. The CTGs establish requirements and emission limits for VOCs but do not directly implement them. Therefore, rule adoption at the local level and sub mission as a SIP revision is necessary to implement these requirements. In addition, most of these emission limits have been previously included in Rule 1128 and Rule 1130 and the remaind er were included by the amendments, therefore the amendments are not in conflict or inc onsistent with the CTGs.

There are two Federal New Source Performance Standa rds (NSPS) that apply to Rule 1128 and Rule 1130: 40 CFR 60 Subpart QQ (Standards of Performance for the Graphic Arts Industry: Publication Rotogravure Printing; and 40 CFR 60 Subpart RR (Standards of Performance for Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label S urface Coating Operations). The amendments are not in conflict with either NSPS. N SPS standards are generally adopted by reference within the AVAQMD (see Rule 900) and appl y only to newer stationary sources as specified in the NSPS. The amendments apply RACT l evel control to all existing stationary sources which in most cases is the same level as th at imposed by the NSPS standard. Please note that a new major stationary source in this sou rce category would require Best Available Control Technology (BACT) pursuant to the provision s of New Source Review (Regulation XIII) and thus would be subject to potentially more stringent requirements than those contained in either of the NSPSs or the amended Rul e 1130.10 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 There are three Maximum Achievable Performance Stan dards (MACTs) that apply to graphic arts; Subpart KK (National Emission Standards for t he Printing and Publishing Industry); Subpart OOOO (Fabric Printing, Coating and Dyeing); and, Subpart JJJJ (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paper and o ther Web Coating). The amendments are not in conflict with the MACT standards. MACT stan dards are imposed upon existing sources pursuant to the provisions of Rule 1402 – Control of Toxic Air Contaminants from Existing Sources . Thus, many of the existing sources are already s ubject to the same level of control for certain chemicals as that specified in amended Rule 1130. Please note that any new or modified stationary source in this category would r equire a Toxic New Source Review analysis as part of its permitting process (see Rule 1401) a nd would thus acquire the same level of control as that provided for by amended Rule 1130.

C. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

1. General

Rule 1130 is equivalent to San Joaquin Valley Unifi ed Air Pollution Control District Rule 4607 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil and Fabric Coati ngs that was determined by USEPA to be RACT (67 FR 4299), theref ore cost effectiveness is not required. However, these amendments have been anal yzed for VOC cost effectiveness in response to state requirements (see below).

2. Cost Effectiveness

Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) e stablished a cost effectiveness of $576 per ton VOC reduced 3 . In their staff reports, SJVUAPCD and the MDAQMD determined that their cost assumptions paral leled those of BAAQMD. The District finds that the BAAQMD analysis is applicab le to this amendment action and presents this value as the cost effectiveness of th e rule. This value is deemed feasible for VOC by the District.

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 amend ment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128.

1. The amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 meet the CEQA definition of “project.” They are not “ministerial ” actions.

2. The amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 are exempt from CEQA review because these rule actions will not cre ate any adverse impacts on the environment. The requirements in the amendment s to Rule 1130 are more stringent than the currently existing requirements (see more detailed discussion in Rule Summary §(D)) in that: rule applicability i s expanded to include current

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14

CTG source categories; definitions are updated to m ake the rule more comprehensive, reflect the current applicability of the rule, and provide additional clarity; VOC limits for various categori es of coatings and solvent coating operations have been included; work practic e requirements have been added; and, the monitoring and recordkeeping, and t est method sections have been strengthened. In addition, ink and coatings s atisfying the limits contained in the rule are readily available in commerce and h ave been shown not to cause either additional usage of the coatings themselves or of cleaning solvents. Other air districts have adopted similar rules and neithe r they nor USEPA has identified increased usage of inks, coatings or sol vents as an issue in supporting documentation.

There is no potential that the amendments might cau se the release of additional air contaminants or create any adverse environmenta l impacts, so a Class 8 categorical exemption (14 Cal. Code Reg. §15308) ap plies.

E. SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

1. Potential Environmental Impacts

There are no potential adverse environmental impact s of compliance with the adoption of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128. Rule 1130 will expand the applicability of the rule to include all CTG categories for paper , film, foil and fabric; will impose additional controls on VOC emissions from inks, coa tings, adhesives, fountain solutions, and solvent cleaning; and will increase the overall capture and control efficiency of emission control systems. Inks and c oatings complying with the rule limits are readily available in commerce and should not cause additional usage of the coatings themselves or of cleaning solvents. No ex isting facility in this source category within the AVAQMD currently uses the emission contr ol system option and the AVAQMD does not expect the installation of such sys tem as the result of the amendments to the rule. This is primarily due to t he high availability of compliant inks and coatings. The AVAQAMD surveyed facilities pote ntially affected by the amended rule and found that the facilities in this source c ategory are already using compliant inks and coatings due to the high degree of availability , and will be able to comply with the limits and provisions of this rule.

2. Mitigation of Impacts

The AVAQMD does not expect impacts from “lower” lim its since most available inks and coatings in the area comply with the limits in the amendment.

3. Alternative Methods of Compliance

The rule contains an approved VOC emission control system option. No existing facility in the District currently uses this option

VI. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION

A. SOURCE DESCRIPTION

Rule 1130 will be amended to include all CTG catego ries for paper, film, foil and fabric coating operations. The rule will be applicable to all graphic arts printing operations; paper, film, foil and fabric printing operations; as well as, the use, storage and disposal of solvents associated with these operations.

Graphic arts printing operations include lithograph ic printing, letterpress printing, digital printing and flexible packaging printing (rotogravu re and flexographic).

Lithography refers to a plane-o-graphic method of p rinting in which the image areas attract ink and the non-image areas repel ink. Most lithograph y is offset which means the image is transferred from the plate to a rubber blanket, and then printed (offset) from the blanket onto the paper.

Letterpress Printing is a method where the image ar ea is raised relative to the non-image area of the printing plate. The plate is inked and pressed onto the substrate allowing the ink to be transferred to the substrate directly from the imag e surface.

Digital printing encompasses a variety of technolog ies all of which are based on the same distinguishing characteristics. Digital printing t echnologies do not require a physical master, stencils, screens or plates, but instead utilize di gital data to control the deposition of ink, toner, or dye to create images. Digital printing is a pri nt on demand technology, which includes, but is not limited to, various forms of inkjet, thermog raphy, electrophotography, ionography, and magnetography.

Flexible packaging refers to any package or part of a package the shape of which can be readily changed. Flexible packaging includes, but is not l imited to, bags, pouches, liners, and wraps utilizing paper, plastic, film, aluminum foil, meta lized or coated paper or film, or any combination of these materials 4

. Gravure Printing, also known as rotogravure, is an intaglio printing operation in which the ink is transferred from minute etched wells on a cylind er to the substrate, which is supported by an impression roller with excess ink removed from the cylinder by a doctor blade.

Flexographic Printing is the application of an imag e to a substrate by means of a roll printing technique in which the pattern is applied to an ima ge carrier made of rubber or other elastomeric materials. The image to be printed is raised above the carrier surface.

4 Control Techniques Guidelines for Flexible Packagi ng Printing, EPA 453/R-06-003, September 2006, pg.5.AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 13

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 Offset lithographic printing and letterpress printi ng are two distinct product categories under section 183(e) of the CAA, but have many similariti es in the types of inks and cleaning materials used, and controls available to control e missions. The offset lithographic process is used in many printing applications, including books , magazines, periodicals, labels and wrappers, catalogs and directories, financial and l egal documents, business forms, advertising brochures, newspapers and inserts, charts and maps, calendars, tickets and coupons, greeting cards, and stamps. The paper, film and foil coatin gs product category listed under section 183(e) of the CAA includes coatings that are applie d to paper, film, or foil surfaces in the manufacturing of several major product types for th e following industry sectors: pressure sensitive tape and labels (including fabric coated for use in pressure sensitive tapes and labels); photographic film; industrial and decorative lamina tes; abrasive products (including fabric coated for use in abrasive products); and flexible packaging (including coating of non-woven polymer substrates for use in flexible packaging). This category also includes coatings applied during miscellaneous coatings operations for severa l products including: corrugated and solid fiber boxes; die-cut paper paperboard, and cardboar d; converted paper and paperboard not elsewhere classified; folding paperboard boxes, inc luding sanitary boxes; manifold business forms and related products; plastic aseptic packagi ng; and carbon paper and inked ribbons 5

. AVAQMD Rule 1128 currently applies to coatings and wash primers applied to paper, fabric or film substrates. The drying and curing processes c overed include, but are not limited to, heated, forced-air dried and non-heated processes. AVAQMD Rule 1130 currently applies to graphic arts operations and the purchase, specifica tion, sale and distribution of graphic arts materials.

The combined applicability of amended Rule 1130 inc ludes the applicability of both rules and include all CTG categories for paper, film, foil an d fabric coating operations. Specifically, this rule is applicable to any Graphic Arts Printing Ope rations, Digital Printing Operations, Paper, Film, Foil or Fabric Coating Operations and to the Solvent Cleaning materials and processes associated with such operations in the District. T his rule also applies to the drying and curing processes applicable to Paper, Film, Foil or Fabric Operations including, but are not limited to, heated, forced-air dried, and non-heated processes. Finally, this rule is applicable to any person who solicits, specifies or manufactures any Ink, Co ating or Adhesive containing VOC which is sold, offered for sale, or supplied for use in Grap hic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil and Fabric Coating Operations in the District.

There are several facilities in the AVAQMD which cu rrently are or may become subject to the provisions of amended Rule 1130:

• Deluxe Manufacturing Operation, Inc. has District p ermits for a boiler and a diesel emergency generator. The printing operations of th is facility do not currently require permitting, but are subject to Rule 1130 and Rule 1 171 requirements.

• Aerotech News operates offset lithographic printing press which is not subject to permitting pursuant to Rule 219, but is still subje ct to the requirements of Rule 1130.

B. EMISSIONS

The amendments to Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts and the rescission of Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric and Film Coating Operations does not cause the release of additional air conta minants, or create any adverse environmental impacts because th e amended rule proposes combining the provisions of both rules, a more stringent applicab ility, as well as, more stringent VOC limits for all categories, including solvent cleaning oper ations, than the existing rule.

C. CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

Please see section (C)(1) through (C)(11) of the ru le (see Appendix “A”) for control requirements. Control requirements are in the form of VOC limits for the various inks, coatings, adhesives, fountain solutions, and solven ts for various graphic arts operations and paper, film, foil and fabric operations. Approved VOC emission control system limits, approved coating application equipment, and work pr actices are also specified.

D. PROPOSED RULE SUMMARY

This section gives a brief overview of the proposed amendments to Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128. The iterated rule version s are contained in Appendix “A” of this staff report.
Proposed amendments to Rule 1130 were designed to e nable the District to comply with the provisions of H&S Code §39614(d) that requires the adoption of the most readily available, feasible and cost-effective control measures for PM as set forth on a list developed by CARB. 6 This list was developed based on rules, regulations , and programs existing in California as of 01/01/04. There is one South Coast Air Quality Man agement District (SCAQMD) Rule listed as potential local control measures contained in th e CARB document. Specifically, Appendix B of the CARB document Proposed List of Measures to Reduce Particulate Mat ter , Strategy I

– Coating Measures (Measures reduce VOC, referenced #70), refers to th is SCAQMD rule amendment of 10/08/99: Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts . The District has analyzed this SCAQMD Rule to determine if the measures they contained we re readily available, feasible and costeffective for implementation within the MDAQMD. Th e VOC limits contained in the SCAQMD rule were determined to be cost effective an d have been incorporated in the proposed amendments to Rule 1130.

.AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 15

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 Section (A) has been amended to incorporate Rule 11 28 rule provisions, as well as incorporating additional CTG categories for paper, film, foil and fabric coating operations, and digital printing operations. Section (A) has been reformatted to match current rule structure.

Section (B) definitions are updated. Definitions h ave been included to make the rule more comprehensive, reflect the current applicability of the rule, and provide additional clarity. Definitions were incorporated from Rule 1128, and n ew definitions were primarily derived from SJVUAPCD Rule 4607. Additional sources are no ted in [comments]

. Section (C) requirements have been modified to incl ude specific VOC limits: inks, coatings and adhesives (Table 1); fountain solutions (Table 2); flexographic specialty ink (Table 3); emission control system overall capture and control efficiency (Table 4); and, solvent cleaning (Table 5). Subsection (C)(3) specifies paper, film , foil or fabric coating operation requirements incorporated from Rule 1128. Coating application e quipment is specified in subsection (C)(5). Subsection (C)(6) specifies requirements for an alt ernative emission control plan. Work practices are specified in subsection (C)(11).

Section (D) compliance dates and cross references h ave been updated.

Section (E) has been updated to reflect the propose d applicability. Recordkeeping requirements have been strengthened and clarified. Digital printing recordkeeping requirements have been added, but this category is otherwise exempted from the requirements of the proposed amendments.

Section (H) has been updated to reflect more compre hensive applicability.

Section (I) has been updated to incorporated exempt ions from Rule 1128, the CTG, and other RACT rules.

Various format changes were made for consistency wi th current AVAQMD rule format, as well as updating cross references as required.

E. 110(l) ANALYSIS

Rule 1128 Analysis

Rule 1128 was originally adopted 05/04/79, and subs equently amended 02/05/82, 12/07/84, 05/05/89, 03/02/90, 12/07/90, 08/02/91, 02/07/92 03 /08/96. The SIP approved version of Rule 1128 – Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations is the version amended 02/07/92 and approved 58 FR 66286, 12/20/93. The 110(l) analysi s will be based upon differences between the 02/07/92 amendment and the current proposed ame ndments.

SCAQMD amended Rule 1128 on 03/08/96. According to SCAQMD background information 7 , Rule 1128 was amended in conjunction with the res cission of Rule 1129 –

7 http://www.aqmd.gov/hb/1996/960341.html16 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 Aerosol Coatings. In October of 1993, the state le gislature adopted amendments to the H&S Code Section 41712, requiring CARB to adopt an aero sol paint regulation and prohibiting local districts from adopting and enforcing local aerosol paint regulations. Subsequently, CARB adopted a statewide Aerosol Coating Products Rule o n March 23, 1995. To be consistent with state law, SCAQMD staff rescinded Rule 1129 and ame nded Rules 1106.1, 1107, 1113, 1128, 1130, 1145 and 1151 to exempt aerosol coating produ cts (aerosol coating products do not include aerosol adhesives.) This exemption is not a relaxation because aerosol coating products are now regulated at the state level (Title 17, Cal ifornia Code of Regulations, Article 3, Aerosol Coating Products, Sections 94520-94524 and 94526) t o the same level of stringency as the former rule provisions.

The current amendment incorporates all the definiti ons from Rule 1128. Several definitions have been updated for consistency with current usag e. “Heating Oven” is amended to “Oven” and has been updated. Changes in definitions are m ore current and specific; therefore not a relaxation.

The test method for Capture efficiency has been upd ated to a more recent, approved version as indicated in SJVUAPCD Rule 4607 and is not a relaxa tion.

Rule 1128 has been incorporated into the current am endment of Rule 1130. Rule provisions have been incorporated in their current form, unles s changed to more current language or methods. No part of the rule has been omitted, exc ept those sections that have been superseded by date, or updated to current language. These min or changes and updates do not allow for a relaxation of the rule. Rule 1128 will be rescinde d at the same time the amendments to Rule 1130 are approved.

Rule 1130 Analysis

Rule 1130 was originally adopted 10/03 80 and subse quently amended 02/01/85, 05/05/89, 02/02/90, 03/02/90, 04/06/90, 06/01/90, 11/02/90, 1 2/07/90, 08/02/91, 03/06/92, 07/09/93, 09/08/95 and 03/08/96. The SIP approved version of Rule 1130 – Graphic Arts is the version amended 09/08/95 and approved at 60 FR 55312, 10/31 /95. The 110(l) analysis will be based upon differences between the 09/08/95 amendment and the current proposed amendments.

SCAQMD amended Rule 1130 on 03/08/96. According to SCAQMD background information 8 , Rule 1130 was amended in conjunction with the res cission of Rule 1129 – Aerosol Coatings . In October of 1993, the state legislature adopte d amendments to H&S Code Section 41712, requiring CARB to adopt an aerosol p aint regulation and prohibiting local districts from adopting and enforcing local aerosol paint regulations. Subsequently, CARB adopted a statewide Aerosol Coating Products Rule o n March 23, 1995. To be consistent with state law, SCAQMD staff rescinded Rule 1129 and ame nded Rules 1106.1, 1107, 1113, 1128, 1130, 1145 and 1151 to exempt aerosol coating produ cts (aerosol coating products do not include aerosol adhesives.) This exemption is not a relaxation because aerosol coating products are now regulated at the state level (Title 17, Cal ifornia Code of Regulations, Article 3, Aerosol

8 ibidAVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 17

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 Coating Products, Sections 94520-94524 and 94526) t o the same level of stringency as the former rule provisions.

The proposed amendments to Rule 1130 will include t he provisions of Rule 1128, will satisfy the provisions of former H&S Code §39614(d) which r equired the adoption of readily available, feasible and cost-effective control meas ures for PM, and will satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§7511a (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) §182) which r equires that ozone nonattainment areas implement RACT for sources that are subject to CTGs for major sources of ozone. The applicability has been expanded to include foil and digital printing. Definitions have been updated for consistency with current District usage and policy. Definitions have also been updated with additional language for clarification and consistency. Changes in definitions are more current and specific; therefore not a relaxati on.
VOC requirements have expanded to include additiona l materials, and, in several cases, have been lowered to reflect current RACT limits. No li mits have been removed or increased. Control device efficiency has been strengthened in Table 4. Solvent cleaning operations in (C)(7) have been strengthened by adding more specif ic VOC limits for solvent operations beyond the provisions of District Rule 1171. Work practices from the CTG have been incorporated into the provisions of (C)(11). Recor dkeeping requirements have been updated to be more comprehensive and inclusive. Digital print ing operations are a new category requiring recordkeeping. The test method for capture efficie ncy has been updated to a more recent, approved version as indicated in SJVUAPCD Rule 4607

. Several exemptions have been added which are derive d from RACT rules and the CTG.

• (I)(1) is from the SJVUAPCD RACT rule. This exempt ion is more stringent than the existing 1171 exemption, and applies only to paper, film, foil and fabric coating operations. The current exemption (which is applic able to anything other than paper, film, foil or fabric) subjects a facility which emi ts less than eight pounds or less of VOC to the provisions of District rule 1171. The new e xemption has a much lower threshold for paper, film, foil and fabric coating operations . The exemptions in (I)(2) (derived from Rule 1128) further restrict which paper, film, foil and fabric coating operations may be exempted from rule provisions.

• (I)(3)(k) and (l) are derived from SJVUAPCD Rule 46 07 and MDAQMD Rule 1117, both RACT rules. Cured VOC containing product is d ried to the touch and should be negligible for VOC content. The cleaning method fo r these types of operations are generally covered by §(C)(7)(b), such as wipe clean ing, and are not VOC restricted as specifically listed in Table 5.

• (I)(3)(m) applies to the previously unregulated cat egory of digital printers and digital printing operations. Requiring recordkeeping for t his category is a strengthening of the rule as it was previously unregulated. Recordkeepi ng will provide the necessary information for an accurate emissions inventory tha t could be used for future plan and rule development projects.18 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 • (I)(3)(n) exempts laboratory tests or analyses, ben ch scale, or research and development projects. This is a clarification of current Distr ict policy for these activities, and is a standard exemption for VOC rules. This exemption e ncourages the research and development of new products that will result in ben efits to industry and the environment.

• (I)(3)(o) is necessary because there is no approved method to determine the VOC content of thin film UV inks. ASTM D5403 (Test Met hods for Volatile Content of Radiation Curable Materials) does not include thin film UV inks. UV inks are categorized with the water based inks because the U V inks have less than three percent (3%) VOC content and therefore have a similar poten tial to emit as water based inks.

• (I)(3)(p) is derived from EPA-453/R-06-001, Control Techniques Guidelines: In dustrial Cleaning Solvents (September 2006).

The amendments to Rule 1130 strengthen the rule, an d do not relax, or back off, any requirements.

F. SIP HISTORY

1. SIP History.

Prior to 1975 the original air district for the Ant elope Valley region was the Los Angeles County Air Pollution Control District that had a jurisdiction covering the entire county of Los Angeles. In 1975, the Southern Calif ornia APCD was created. It was a joint powers authority that had a jurisdiction cove ring all of the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. The SCAQMD came into existence pursuant to statute on February 1, 1976 and origina lly covered only the areas within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The legislation was thereafter amended to allow non SCAB areas to “opt in.” Los Angeles County exercis ed this option and thus the Antelope Valley became a part of SCAQMD. On July 1 , 1997 the AVAPCD replaced the SCAQMD as the agency with jurisdiction over the Los Angeles County portion of the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB). On January 1, 2002 the AVAPCD was replaced by the AVAQMD. Pursuant to both statutory changes, the rule and regulations of the predecessor district were retained until the Govern ing Board adopted, amended or rescinded them. At the first meeting of both the A VAPCD and the AVAQMD, the respective Governing Boards reaffirmed all the rule s and regulations in effect at the time the agency changed.

The jurisdiction of the AVAPCD and the AVAQMD were specified in the statutes as the portion of the Los Angeles County contained wit hin the MDAB. The MDAB was formerly known as the Southeast Desert Air Basin (S EDAB). In 1997 the SEDAB was split into the MDAB and the Salton Sea Air Basin. Descriptions of these air basins can be found in 17 Cal. Code Regs. §§60109 and 60144. Since USEPA adopts SIP revisions in California as effective within jurisdi ctional boundaries of local air districts, when the local air district boundaries change the S IP as approved by USEPA for that area up to the date of the change remains as the SI P in that particular area. Thus, uponAVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 19

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14

creation of the AVAPCD on July 1, 1997 the AVAPCD a cquired the SIP applicable to the Antelope Valley portion of the SCAQMD that was effective as of June 30, 1997. Likewise the AVAQMD acquired the SIP that was effec tive in the jurisdiction of the AVAPCD as of December 31, 2000. Therefore, the SIP history for this region is based upon the rules adopted, effective, and approved for the Antelope Valley by SCAQMD.

Rule 1128 was originally adopted by SCAQMD on 05/04 /79. It was subsequently amended by SCAQMD on 02/05/82, 12/07/84, 05/05/89, 03/02/90, 12/07/90, 08/02/91, 02/07/92 and 03/08/96. The 03/08/1996 version is t he version of the rule retained by the AVAPCD upon its creation and also retained by t he AVAQMD upon its creation. The 02/07/92 version was approved into the SIP at 5 8 FR 66286, 12/20/93. The 03/08/96 version of the SCAQMD rule was approved in to the SIP at 64 FR 23774, 05/04/99. Although the 03/08/96 version of the rul e was effective in the AVAQMD (since this amendment occurred prior to the formati on of the AVAPCD), the SIP approval excluded the Los Angeles portion of the S outheast Desert AQMA, otherwise known as the Antelope Valley Region in Los Angeles County, under the jurisdiction of the AVAPCD. Therefore, the 02/07/92 version of Rul e 1128 is the SIP version for the AVAQMD.

Rule 1130 was originally adopted by SCAQMD on 10/03 /80. It was subsequently amended by SCAQMD on 02/01/85, 05/05/89, 02/02/90, 03/02/90, 04/06/90, 06/01/90, 11/02/90, 12/07/90, 08/02/91, 03/06/92, 07/09/93, 0 9/08/95 and 03/08/96. The 03/08/96 version is the version of the rule retaine d by the AVAPCD upon its creation and also retained by the AVAQMD upon its creation. The 09/08/95 version was approved into the SIP at 60 FR 55312, 10/31/95. Th e 03/08/96 SCAQMD amendment was submitted for SIP approval on 07/23/96. If act ion was taken on this amendment, it is assumed the approval excluded the AVAPCD. There fore, the 09/08/95 version of Rule 1130 is the SIP version for the AVAQMD.

2. SIP Analysis.

The amendments of Rule 1130 are primarily derived f rom SJVUAPCD Rule 4607 as amended 12/18/08. Rule 4607 – Graphic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil and Fabric Coatings was determined by USEPA to be RACT (67 FR 4299, 10 /15/09) The USEPA has also issued five CTGs which have an impact on R ule 1128 and 1130: CTG for Flexible Package Printing (EPA 453/R-06-003, 2006/0 9); CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing (EPA 453/R-06-02, 2006/09); CTG for Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings (EPA 453/R-07-003, 2007/09); CTG for Control of VOCs from Existing Stationary Sources – Volume II; Surface Co ating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles and Light-Duty Trucks (EPA 450 /2-77-008, 1977/05); and, CTG for Control of VOCs from Existing Stationary Source s – Volume III: Graphic ArtsRotogravure and Flexography (EPA 450/2-78-033, 1978 /12). The CTGs establish requirements and emission limits for VOCs but do no t directly implement them. Therefore, rule adoption at the local level and sub mission as a SIP revision is necessary to implement these requirements.20 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 The amendment of Rule 1130 and the rescission of Ru le 1128 are necessary to satisfy the provisions of former H&S Code §39614(d) which r equired the adoption of readily available, feasible and cost-effective control meas ures for PM as well as to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§7511a (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) §182) which requires that ozone nonattainment areas implement RACT for sources that are subject to CTGs for major sources of ozone. This rule amendment incorporates the provisions of Rule 1128 into the amended version of Rule 1130, as the basis for the rules are similar and many redundancies exist. Definitions have been added, V OC requirements have been expanded to include CTG categories and RACT limits, solvent cleaning operations have been strengthened, CTG work practices have been add ed, recordkeeping requirements have been strengthened, and test methods have been updated.

The AVAQMD will request that Rule 1130 be included in the SIP, and Rule 1128 be removed from the SIP as the provisions of this rule have been incorporated into the current amendment of Rule 1130. The AVAQMD believe s that the amendments to Rule 1130 will strengthen the SIP.AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 A

(B) SCAQMD's Laboratory Methods of Analysis for E nforcement Samples -

Section III, Methods 16, 17, 19, 22, and 24. [See Rule 1130 §(H)(1).]

VOC emissions determined to exceed any limits est ablished by this rule through the use

of the above-referenced sets of test methods shall consititute a violation of the rule. [See Rule 1130§(H)(10).]

(2) The capture efficiency of the emissions collec tion system shall be determined by the

USEPA method cited in 55 FR (Federal Register) 2686 5, June 29, 1990. [See Rule 1130 §(H)(8) for updated test method.]

(3) The efficiency of the control device and the V OC content measured and calculated as

carbon in the control device exhaust gases shall be determined by USEPA's Test Method 18, or Air Resources Board (ARB) Method 422 for the determination of emissions of Exempt Compounds and USEPA's Test Meth ods 25, 25A, or SCAQMD's Method 25.1 (Determination of Total Gaseous Non-Met hane Organic Emissions as Carbon) for the determination of total organic comp ound emissions. Emissions determined to exceed any limits established by this rule through the use of any of the above-referenced test methods shall constitute a vi olation of the rule. [See Rule 1130 §(H)(8)(b).]

(4) The transfer efficiency of alternative coating application methods shall be determined in

accordance with SCAQMD method "Spray Equipment Tran sfer Efficiency Test Procedure for Equipment User, May 24, 1989." [See Rule 1130 § (H)(7).]

The following classes of compounds: cyclic branch ed, or linear, completely fluorinated alkanes; cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fl uorinated ethers with no unsaturations; cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated tertiar y amines with no unsaturations; and sulfurcontained perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations an d with sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine, will be analyzed as exempt compounds for compliance with subdivision (c), only at such time as manufacturers specify which individual compounds are used in the coating formulations and identify the test methods, which, prior to such analysis, have been approved by the USEPA and the SCAQMD, that can be used to qu antify the amounts of each exempt compound. [See Rule 1130 §(H)(3).]

Section Comment District Response EPA Comment 1 (A)(1)(c) This rule applies to "any

person who solicits, specifies or manufactures any Ink...." Staff report (page 12) says this applies to those selling graphic arts coatings, etc. Include "any person who sells" Staff Report has been

updated to include complete applicability language for clarification. OK- need to see staff report

2 (B)(19) Change to Digital Printing Operation Term changed from Digital

Printing to Digital Printing Operation as suggested. OK

3 (B)(76) The definition for "Oven" is

not the same as that in 1128 (b)(15). Remove the annotation that it is from AV

1128 The actual definition for

"oven" was derived from MDAQMD Rule 1117. Annotation has been clarified with proper reference. The intent of referencing 1128 was to verify that a definition for "heating oven" was transferred into Rule 1130. OK- need to see staff report

4 (B)(81) and (82) Reverse order - not alphabetical Definitions for Plastisol and Plastisizer alphabetized correctly. OK

5 (C)(1) (Table 2) add lb/gal in first column like other tables Pounds per gallon added as requested. OK

6 (C)(2) (b) (corrected from (C)(1) (b) ) PE of 10 tons per year

limited to 300 grams/liter VOC content does not agree with CTG which limits emissions to "3 tons per 12- month rolling period." (C)(2)(b) was taken from SJVUAPCD Rule 4607 section 5.2.2 and also MDAQMD Rule 1117 (C)(2)(a). Can you provide CTG requirement reference? No change made yet to rule in response to this comment. This may have been confusing because I had the wrong subsection number. In CTG for Flexible Package Printing (EPA 453/R-06- 003), Section III, Applicability,C-8 AVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 Final Staff Report, 01/06/14

control recommendations for the equivalent of 15 lb/day - ie 3 tons/year - is recommended.

7 (C)(4) (a) Table

4 There is no Overall Control

efficiency for film, foil, fabric. Rule 1128 requires 90% or 95% with 50 ppm emission for film, foil, fabric coating so this should be added into 1130 which replaces 1128. Please see section (C)(4)(b) for these provisions. Not incorporated into table 4 because Rule 1128 specified separate collection and reduction percentages. OK

8 (C)(4) (a) Table

4 SJV uses "Overall Capture

and Control Efficiency" for headers on table. Consider using this in the heading Updated headers as suggested. Also updated definition (B)(77) from "Overall Capture Efficiency" to "Overall Capture and Control Efficiency", and updated term in rule as needed. OK

9 (C)(4) (a) Table

4 SJV has 80% for flexography

and 90% for foil, film, fabric. Need to add Rule 1128's overall of 85% (90% x 95% ) for foil, film, fabric. Consider using 90% per SJV Rule 4607 Table 6 Flexography category in Table 4 is modified to refer it to the Flexible Package Printing category with 80% effective the year after amendment. Process category for flexography will be retained since the existing 67% does not indicate it applies to all flexible packaging technologies. OKAVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 C

Final Staff Report, 01/06/14 10 (C)(4) (c) This is stated in (C)(4) (a): In

lieu of the requirements of subsections (C)(1),(C)(2) and (C)(3), emissions may be controlled by using an emission control system. This statement is for other graphic arts operations besides Paper, Film, Foil or Fabric so it is not clear why this is stated separately for (c) [Paper, Film, Foil or Fabric] and why it is not all inclusive of (C) (4) (a) through (h). This section was incorporated separately from 1128 because it's a different format and had operational requirements beyond those contained in Table 4. (C)(4)(b) now. OK

11 (C)(5) (i) (corrected from (C)(4) (i) ) Only (H)(7) describes a test

for transfer efficiency. Change "in Section (H)" to "in subsection (H)(7)..." (C)(5)(i) has been updated for specific subsection for transfer efficiency method. OK

12 (C)(5) (j) (corrected from (C)(4) (j) ) Should include (C)(5)(i) too.

Change to: "In Lieu of complying with subsections (C)(5)(a) through (C)(5)(i)...." Change has been made has been made to (C)(5)(j). OK

indicated in the annotation, was not included. Add 5.8.2 from SJV's rule 4607: "An operator performing the following cleaning operations from Table 5 outside of an APCO approved VOC emission control system and using solvent with VOC content greater than 25 g/l shall meet the requirements of Section (C)(7)(b)(i) through (C)(7)(b)(iv) in addition to meeting the applicable VOC content limit of Table 5." This section was actually taken from MDAQMD Rule 1117. Annotation was corrected, but added SJVUAPCD provision. OK

15 (C)(7) (e) (corrected from (C)(7)(c)) This is not consistent with

SJV's rule 4607. Revise to "In lieu of complying with the provisions of Table 5 or subsection (C)(7)(b) through (C)(7)(d)..." (C)(7)(e)? Is "Table 5 and

(C)(7)(b) thru (C)(7)(d)" not the same as "(C)(7)(a) through (C)(7)(d)"? (C)(7)(a) contains Table 5. OK

16 (C)(11) (e) Define "Recycled solvents" in section (B) Do not have a definition

for recycled solvents in SJ, SACTO, MD or SC rules. Could not locate in Graphic Arts CTGs or Industrial Solvent Cleaning CTG. Suggestions? Recycled Solvent: Spent solvent that has been regenerated and which contains VOC levels comparable or lower thananalogous unused solvent, isstored in nonleaking containers, has documentation verifying the recycling legitimacy factors are met and are pure enough forAVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 C

17 (E)(6) "If the Facilty is claiming exempt status pursuant to Section I, the facility shall maintain adequate records on a monthly basis..." Exempt facilities should have daily records per Little Blue Book. Change "monthly" to "daily or as-used" per Little Bluebook. OK

18 (E)(8) This is not consistent with the SJV rule statement. Change the section from (I)(2) to (I)(1) Should (I)(2) be changed to (I)(1), (I)(3)(h) and (I)(3)(m) for consistency with SJVUAPCD Rule 4607 §4.1? This SJ provision refers to all these exemptions in our rule. OK

19 (G) If comment in section

(I)(3)(s)(iii) is accepted, this needs to be changed to: "...VOC limits specified in paragraph subsection ( C)(2) Table 3." Updated as requested. OK

20 (H)(1) "...;or SCAQMD Laboratory Methods of Analysis for Enforceable Samples - Section III, Methods 16,17,19,22 and 24." These method numbers are no longer valid.

(2007), use ASTM D5403-93 (2013)- if this revision is applicable to this rule ASTM test method updated to 2013 version. The Little Bluebook says Region IX maintains a list of California Methods that have been approved For SIPs. I found the Alternative Test Methods but don't see ASTMs referenced there. I am assuming the 2013 revision is acceptable to EPA? OK -Actually there is a list of approved ASTM methods in 40 CFR 60.17. It lists the 93 version but having the latest version in parenthesis is acceptable.

22 (H)(3) revise dates. ARB Method

422 date (approved by EPA) is September 12, 1990. SCAQMD Method 303-91 date approved by EPA is August, 1996 Consider SCAQMD 304-91 as applicable method. Dates will be updated but I need clarification. SCAQMD 303-91 has a revision date of February 1993. August 1, 1996 is the date EPA approved it? Should I use the EPA approval date or the SCAQMD revision date? Shouldn't 303-91 be the applicable method, not 304-91? Removed SCAQMD Methods 19 and

22.

note that the latest revision of this test standard is 2008 and revise date if appropriate ASTM Test method updated from “the latest EPA approved revision” to 2008 version. (H)(5) after numbering corrected. OK Use "ASTM D717-2008" EPA does not approve or disapprove this method.

26 (new) (H)(5) Revise to include complete number and EPA approval date: The metal content of Metallic Inks shall be determined by SCAQMD Test Method 318-95, "Determination of Weight Percentage Elemental Metal in Coatings by X-Ray Diffraction", July 1996 - per Little Blue Book Included complete SCAQMD title and EPA approval date. (H)(6) now after numbering corrected. OK

27 (new) (H)(9)(a)(i) This is redundant to the

paragraph in (H)(9)(a) which references 40 CFR 51, Appendix M, Test Methods 204-204F. Consider removing (i) and adjust numbering of (ii) and (iii) Removed (i) and renumbered (ii) and (iii) as requested. Checked rule for section citation cross references (none found). OK

28 (new) (H)(9)(a)(ii) This is not an AV district

method and the EPA approval version date needs to be added. Replace "The District" with "SCAQMD" and add the EPA approval version date "May 1995" after "Protocol for Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Capture Efficiency" This was probably an overlooked reference to when the AVAQMD actually was SC :) Corrected.

31 (I)(3)(q) This subsection is IN

subsection (I)(3) so it seems odd to exclude operations pursuant to (I)(3) in this subsection. Removed (I) cross references in this subsection. OK

32 (I)(3)(s)(i) "...2 gallons per day and 125

gallons per calendar year.." (C )(2)(a) Table 3 has a limit of 120 gallons per calendar year. Change 125 to 120 gallons. Corrected. OK

also includes 300 grams/liter after (effective date). Revise to: "...ten(10) tons per calendar year from all VOC sources but 300 grams/liter after (effective date);..." Corrected. However, comment 6 says this is not an acceptable limit. Please advise the CTG location of the requested limit so both sections can be updated to consistent language. OK - make the two sections consistent.

34 (I)(3)(s)(iii) According to (C )(2)(a)

Table 3, this only applies to non-flexible substrate inks. Revise to: "The VOC content of Matte Finish and Metallic Inks on non-flexible substrates do not exceed..." Corrected. OKAVAQMD Rules 1130 and 1128 C
