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

Amendments to Rule 4307 require that tree nut paste urizers be fired on natural gas as a NOx control. This strategy is similar to the requirements imposed on vegetable dehydrators in District Rule 4309, a rule that has been approved by EPA into the California State Impl ementation Plan (SIP). During natural gas curtailm ents, units

would either not be used or would have to meet the requirements of Section 4.6. Section 4.6 outlines limitations for a unit that fires on alternative fuels during n atural gas curtailments. Since the pasteurizer is already operating, the requirement took effect on the date of rule ado ption; therefore, no commencement date was needed f or this provision.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2 (CO) PM TAC (name):

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: This rule project is not a control mea sure in any attainment plan and is not expected to reduce or increase emissions from the single existing tree nut pasteur izer. For these reasons, the District has conclude d that attainment of any ambient air quality standard will not be affect ed by this rule project. The amendments will not a ffect the District’s 2007

Ozone Plan or the District's 2008 PM2.5 Plan becaus e no emission limits have been changed, nor are the amendments expected to affect emissions from this source categ ory.
