- Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations and directing staff actions. SUMMARY: The proposed amendment of Rule 1130

- Graphic Arts will sati sfy the provisions of former Health & Safety (H&S) Code §39614(d) which required the adoption of readily available, feasible and cost
-effective control measures for particulate matter as well as to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§751 la (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) § 182) which requires that ozone nonattainment areas implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources that are subject to Control Technology Guidelines (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. Rule 1 128 is proposed for rescission. The amendment of Rule 1130 was originally noticed for the September 17, 2013 Governing Board meeting. This hearing was continued to October 15, 2013 and again to November 19, 2013 to address comments received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
. BACKGROUND: On July 1, 1997 t he Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District (AVAPCD) was created pursuant to statute (former Health & Safety (H&S) Code §40106, AB
. 266-Knight Ch. 542 , statutes of 1996) and assumed all air po ll ution control responsibilities from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) for the area of Los Angeles County 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 The SCAQMD rules in effect within the jurisdiction of the AVAPCD remained in effect until the AVAPCD Governing Board superseded, amended or rescinded them. On January 1, 2002 the AVAQMD was created pursuant to statute (H&S Code §41300 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 Once again the rules in effect at the time of the change remained in effect until the AVAQMD Governing Board superseded, amended or rescinded them.

### LANCASTER, CALIFORNIA AGENDA ITEM2_ 

### PAGE2 The SCAQMD last amended both Rule 1128 and Ru le 1130 on March 8, 1996 and t hese are the current versions in the AV AQMD rulebook. The AV AQMD has the authori ty pursuant to H&S Code §40702 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations
. The AV AQMD 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 ex ist. Former H&S Code §39614(d) (expired by its terms January 1, 2011) required the AVAQMD to adopt the most readily available, feas ible and cost-effective local control measures for Particulate Matter (PM) as contained on a list developed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
. Since the AVAQMD committed to adopt such reasonable measures pursuant to H&S Code §39614(d) and is also required to do so to satisfy federal RACM requirements the AVAQMD evaluated the availability, feasibility and cost effectiveness of the applicable CARB coating operations (graphic arts) control measures to satisfy both requirements. This analysis is included in section (V)(C)(2) of this staff report. CARB has identified on its list of local control measures the "Coating Operations : Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations" (referenced #76) strategy of specifying VOC con t ent of applicable coatings, drying and curing processes, application methods and cleaning r equirements
. This measure has been identified as being currently implemented in the March 8, 1996 version of Rule 1128; therefore, no additional analysis is necessary. CARB has also identified on its list of local control measures the "Coating Operations: Graphic Arts" (referenced #70) strategy of limiting VOC content of products to between 150

- 300 g/L or by installing a control device. The AVAQMD committed to further evaluate this measure . The proposed amendments to Rule 1130 and the rescission of Rule 1128 address the PM Analysis. Additionally, the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) requires areas designated non-attainment and classified moderate and above to implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources subject to Control Technology Guidelines (CTG) documents issued by United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) for "major sources" of VOCs and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) which are ozone precursors . The AV AQMD adopted the 8-Hour Reasonably Available Control Technology- State Implementation Analysis (RACT SIP Analysis) in August 2006. In this document the AVAQMD identified that this rule had been deemed RACT and proposed no further action was required as a result of the RACT SIP Analysis. 

### In RACT SIP correspondence from US EPA Sept ember 11, 2006, it was noted that "on August 4, 2006 , EPA proposed four new CTGs covering lithographic printing materials, letterpress printing materials, .flexible packaging materials, flat woodpaneling 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 their SIP revisions within one yea r of the date the CTGs

### In September, 2006, USE PA finalized the new CTGs covering lithographic print ing materials, letterpress printing mater ials, flexible packaging printing materials and industrial cleaning solvents. USEPA has designated San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control D i st rict (SJVAPCD) Rule 4607

- Graphic Arts and Paper , Film, Foil, and Fabric Operations (12/18/08, SIP Approved 74 FR 52894 on 10/15/2009), Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management D i str ict (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 1 117

- Graph ic Arts and Paper, Film, Foil and Fabric Coatings (09/2812009, SIP approved 7 7 FR 12495, 03/01/20 12) as RACT rules
. SJV APCD Rule 4607 was used as a basis fo r the amendments to Rule 1130

- Graphic Arts. Th e proposed amendments to Rule 1 1 30 address both Former H&S Code §39614(d) and federal RACT requirements. The proposed amendments expand the applicability of the rule ; updates definitions; updates VOC content limits for different graphic arts product categories ; updates VOC emission control system limits; updates solvent cleaning operation limits; and, updates exemptions , recordkeepi ng and test methods. The provisions of Rule 1128 have been incorporat ed into the amended version of Rule 1130 , as the bas is for the rules are similar and many redundancies exist. Rule 1128 is propo sed fo r rescission
. A Notice of Ex emption , Ca tegorical Exemption (Class 8; 14 Cal. Code Reg
. §15308) will be prepared by the AVAQMD for the amendment of Rule 1130

- Graphic Arts and t he rescission of Rule 1128

- Paper, Fab ric, and Film Coating Operations pursuant to the requirements of CEQA
.
