### Attachment 6

Board of Directors Agenda Packet from June 19, 2014 Rule Hearing

Rule 323.1

### 2

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) recommend s that local air districts update t heir architectural coating rule requirements with revised coating volatile organic compound limits and other rule provisions

. a 

### This rulemaking action will adopt th e CARB recommendations in a new

Rule 323.1. Current Rule 3 23 will be phased out three years after Rule 323.1 becomes effective. CARB supports using t his phased approach , which allow s retailers to sell products manufactured

before the new requirements become effective without disrupti ng their normal inventory turn over.

DISCUSSION:

Objectives :

Adoption of Rule 323.1 will fulfill emission reduction commitments the District made in the 2010 Clean Air Plan. Once adopted, staff will submit Rule 323.1 to CARB for consideration of inclusion into the State Implementat ion Plan (SIP) and to EPA for an update to the federal Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations. If CARB approves the rule for inclusion in the SIP, CARB will submit it on

the behalf of the District to EPA for SIP consideration.

Background :

CARB has desi gnated the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution District as a moderate nonattainment

area for the state 8

- hour ozone standard. Architectural coatings are a large source of volatile organic compound emissions in Santa Barbara County, accounting for about 500 tons in 2012 (Ref. 1).

V olatile organic compound emissions cause the formation of ozone and particulate matter less than ten microns in size, two of the pollutants of concern in Santa Barbara County. Rule 323.1 uses the

term volatile organic compound in li eu of reactive organic compound for consistency with the 2007 CARB Suggested Control Measure (SCM). For all intents and purposes both terms have the same meaning.

The District originally adopted Rule 323 on October 18, 1971, to regulate volatile organic

c ompound (VOC) emissions from the use of architectural coatings. Since 1971, the District has amended the rule eight times: February 24, 1975; August 22, 1977; June 11, 1979; March 11, 1985; February 20, 1990; March 16, 1995; July 18, 1996; and November 15, 2001.

The amendments in 1975 through 1985 revised effective dates of technology

- forcing limits and clarified language. The amendments in February 1990 revised the rule to be consistent with the 1989 CARB SCM. The 1995 and 1996 amendments dealt with gene ral rule cleanup issues and expanded the list of compounds exempt from the definition of volatile organic compound. The 2001 amendment incorporated the June 2000 CARB SCM VOC content limits.

In general, the VOC content limits and other rule provisions in Rule 323.1 are consistent with the

2007 ARB SCM. The District departed from the 2007 ARB SCM to address the phasing out of

Rule 323. We also made o ther minor deviations to address CARB and stakeholder concerns. Examples of these include adding an anti

- bundling provision to the one

- liter exemption and adding an early compliance provis ion. The District’s document entitled, “ Project Description Summary of the Effects of New Rule 323.1, Architectural Coatings, ” provides detailed information on the proposed requirement changes as compared to existing Rule 323 and the 2007 CARB SCM.

According to the 2007 ARB SCM, assuming manufacturers passed their cost increases for compliance with the SCM coating VOC limits on to consumers, the average potential increase is about $1.21 per gallon ($1.36/gal in 2013 dollars). Further, based on the average cost per gallon for consumers of $19.20 ($21.56/gal in 2013 dollars), the average increase in the cost per gallon would be about six percent. a



### ARB estimated that the total annualized cost of the SCM to be $12.3 million ($13.8 million/year in 2013 dollars). Apportioning this figure to Santa Barbara County, the total annualized cost of the SCM is about $250,000 ($280,000/year in 2013 dollars).

The cost effectiveness of Rule 323.1 is $3,017 per ton of VOC reduced. This cost effectiveness figure compares favorably with the cost

Imp lications to the APCD Budget :

The District anticipates the current staffing levels will be sufficient for inspections and industry outreach programs to implement the new rule provisions.

Identification of Existing Federal Regulations and Air Pollution C ontrol District Regulations that Apply to the Same Equipment or Source Type Covered by Rule 323.1

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 40 72 7 .2, District staff prepared a rule consistency analysis that compares the elements of amendments with the cor responding elements of other District rules, federal regulations, and guidelines that apply to the same source category or type of equipment. District staff found that none of the proposed requirements of Rule 323.1 would conflict

with other District rules , or federal rules, regulations, or policies covering similar stationary

sources.

Comparisons to Adjacent Local Air Pollution Control Districts:

Air districts adjacent to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District include the San Joaquin U nified Valley Air Pollution Control District, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District.

The San Joaquin Unified Valley APCD and the Ventura County APCD incorporated the 2007

CARB SCM limits into their architectural coating rules in 2009 and 2010, respectively. The San Luis Obispo County APCD has not amended their architectural coating rule to include the 2007

CARB SCM provisions.

pro ject revisions. On April 15, staff posted to our web site responses to comments received on the project to date. On April 19, the District posted updated versions of Rule 323.1 and the Project Description Summary.

On May 14, 2014, staff provided the Community Advisory Council (CAC) with a briefing on the project. After the briefing and further CAC discussions, the CAC passed a motion to recommend that the Board of Directors adopt Rule 323.1

.

The C alifornia Air Resources Board submitted comments to the District on May 15, 2014. B ased on

the se comments

.

California Environmental Quality Act :

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires environmental review for proposed

Rule 323.1, Arc hitectural Coatings. The District is the lead agency on this project. Proposed

revisions to Rule 323 were examined in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2010 CAP which concluded that the implementation of revised architectural coating rule requ irements would not result in any significant environmental impacts. The District has elected to adopt a new Rule 323.1 instead of amending Rule 323. However, the same CEQA analysis applies to Rule 323.1 that applied to Rule 323.

### 6

The District finds that the 2010 CAP EIR may be used to fulfill the environmental review requir ements of the current project. CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c)(2) allows subsequent activities to be approved without the need for a new environmental document if the impacts of those activities were examined in an EIR, and have no new effects or mitigation measures. District staff have evaluated the environmental impacts related to p roposed Rule 323.1 , and have concluded that the environmental impacts were adequately analyzed in the 20 10 CAP EIR.

CEQA findings to be adopted by the District Board, as well as a discussion of these findings, are provided in Attachment 1.

### ATTACHMENT 1

CEQA FINDINGS

The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) found that t he potential environmental impacts of revised Rule 3 23 (Architectural Coatings) were adequately described

and an alyzed in the EIR for the 2010 Clean Air Plan. The District now propose s to implement changes to the architectural coating rule requirement s as Rule 323.1. However, the same CEQA analysis for Rule 323 revisions is valid for new Rule 323.1.

The Board finds that:

 Pursuant to Section 15168 (c)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act this rulemaking activity is within the scope of the 2010 Clean Air Plan Environmental Impact Report and the Environmental Impact Report adequately describes the activity f or the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.

 Pursuant to Section 15168 (c)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act, the impacts related to Rule 323 .1

, were examined in the program Environmental Impact Report for the 2010 Clean Air P lan, and no new effects could occur and no new

mit igation measures are required. Therefore, no new environmental document is required.

 The Environmental Impact Report for the 2010 Clean Air Plan was previously determined by this Board to have been complet ed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and was reviewed and considered by the Board prior to approval.

 Any subsequent changes to the project description during the public review period will undergo additional environmental review u nder the California Environmental Quality Act if it is determined that the changes are outside the scope of the 2010 Clean Air Plan Environmental Impact Report.

### ATTACHMENT 2

RULE FINDINGS FOR PROPOSED RULE 323.1

, ARCHITECTURAL COATINGS

Pursuant to Californi a Health and Safety Code Section 40727, the Board makes the following findings for the adoption of proposed Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings,

.

Necessity

The Board determines that it is necessary to adopt Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings, to comply

wi th California State Health and Safety Code Section 40920 which requires air districts in California to develop rules to implement their plans for attaining state ambient air quality

standards

.

Authority

The Board is authorized under state law to adopt, a mend, or repeal rules and regulations pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 40000, and 40725 through 40728 which assigns to local and regional authorities the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all

sources other than exhaust emissions from motor vehicles. Additionally, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 40702, the District Board is required to adopt rules and regulations and to do such acts as are necessary and proper to execute the powers and duties granted to it and imposed upon it by State law.

Clarity

The Board finds that proposed Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings, is sufficiently cl ear. P roposed

Rule 323.1 was publicly noticed and reviewed by the Community Advisory Council. The rule is written or displayed so th at its meaning can be easily understood by persons directly affected by

it.

Consistency

The Board determines that proposed Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings, is consistent with, and not in conflict with or contradictory to, existing federal or state sta tutes, court decisions, or regulations with regard to the control of emissions of volatile organic compounds from architectural coatings

.

Air pollution control districts statewide are expected to amend th eir architectural coatings rule requirements to be consistent wit h the Suggested Control Measure adopted by the California Air Resources Board on October 26, 2007. The San Joaquin Unified Valley APCD and the Ventura County APCD incorporated the 2007 California A ir R esources B oard S uggested C ontrol

M easure provisions into their architectural coating rules in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Based

on this evidence , the Board finds that the rule is generally consistent with neighboring air pollution control districts.Santa Barbara County APCD 2

- 2 June 19, 2014

Rule Findings

– Proposed Rule 323.1 

### Nonduplication

The Board finds that the pr oposed Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings, do es not impose the same restrictions as any existing state or federal regulation, and the proposed rule is necessary and proper to execute the powers and duties granted to, and imposed upon, the District

.

Refere nce

The Board finds that we have authority under state law to adopt proposed Rule 323 .1, Architectural Coatings, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 39002

. Health and Safety

Code Section 39002 assigns to local and regional authorities the primary r esponsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than exhaust emissions from motor vehicles. Additionally, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 40702, the Board is required to adopt rules and regulations and to do such acts as ar e necessary and proper to execute the powers and duties granted to it and imposed upon it by State law.

Comment s from California Air Resources

Board
, June 6, 2014

COMMENT 1

Section A.2 indicates that Rule 323.1 shall be effective on January 1, 2015 and Section

A.3 indicates that rule 323 shall remain in

effect until January 1, 2015. This would

cause both Rule 323 and Rule 323.1 to be effective on January 1, 2015. It is

recommended that Rule 323 remain in effect until December 31, 2014, eliminating overlap between the two rules.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT 1

The two section s in question are shown

below:

A. Applicability [. . .]

2. Rule 323.1 shall be effective on January 1, 2015.

3. Rule 323, Architectural Coatings, shall remain in effect in its entirety until January 1, 2015. A coating manufactured prior to January 1,

20 15 may be sold, supplied, or offered for sale for up to three years after January 1, 2015, provided that the coating complied, at the time of manufacture, with all applicable provisions in Rule 323 as revised November 15, 2001. Such coating may also be app lied at any time, both before and after January 1, 2015. This Section does not apply to any coating that does not display the date or date code required by Section E.1.a of this

rule.

Staff do not see how the Rule 323 and Rule

323.1 are both effective on the same day: January 1, 2015. We read Section 323.1.A.3

to mean that Ru le 323 is no longer in effect

as of January 1, 2015.

COMMENT 2

Section B .5 states that the “rule shall not apply to any coating that contains less than 20 grams of VOC per liter (0. 17 pounds of VOC per gallon) of coatings, less water and less exempt compounds, as applied.” This

would allow manufacturers who deemed their products to fall below this threshold to not label their products with VOC content, date code, or thinning recommen dations, complicating enforcement efforts. In addition to eliminating all labeling requirements, it also excludes these products from reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT 2

We amend ed the exemption to make it a partial rule exemp tion, as follows:

B. Exemptions [. . .]Santa Barbara County APCD 3

- 2 June 19, 2014

Public Comm ents and Res ponses to Comments

- Proposed Rule 323.1 

### 5. The requirements of With the exception of Sections E and F, t his rule shall not apply to any coating that contains less than 20 grams of VOC per liter (0.17 pounds of VOC per gallon) of coating, less

water and l ess exempt compounds, as applied.

Per discussions with ARB staff on May 19, 2014, the revised exemption is acceptable to

them.

COMMENT 3

Section C provides a definition for “Ablative Coating.” Inclusion of this additional definition is unnecessary as t his coating is an Industrial Maintenance Coating. Further, the proposed limit for Ablative Coating is

the same as that of Industrial Maintenance Coating. It is recommended that the definition for Ablative Coating be eliminated from Section C, and the VOC

c ontent limit for Ablative Coating be

stricken from Table 323.1

- 1.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT 3

The District added this distinct category at the request of a stakeholder: United Launch Alliance, L.L.C. (ULA). Due to the unique operations involved with space laun ches, we believe a definition of Ablative Coatings

with a Table 323.1

- 1 limit of limit of 250 g/l is appropriate. Hence, we did not delete the definition or delete the Ablative Coatings category from Table 323.1

- 1.

COMMENT 4

Section E.1.e. should be mod ified to delete

the terms “Not for residential use” and “Not

intended for residential use.” This is obsoleted language from the 2000 Suggested Control Measure for Architectural Coating

RESPONSE TO COMMENT 4

On April 18, 2014, David Darling of the

America n Coatings Association (ACA) specifically requested that we add two additional labeling provisions into both the Industrial Maintenance (Section E.1.e) and the Zinc Rich Primer (E.l.k) labeling provisions. His letter indicates, in part:

Changing product l abels is very expensive. To reduce the regulatory burden for those coatings manufacturers

that use the IM label statements “Not For Residential Use,” or “Not Intended For Residential Use,” ACA urges Santa

Barbara retain all four IM statements in

Rule 323.1 . In addition, ACA suggests

that Santa Barbara include all four label

statements for Zinc

- Rich Primers (primers used for IM coatings) as well. Please note that the following California Air Districts have adopted the 2007

California Air Resources Board Sugg ested Control Measures for Architectural Coatings (CARB 2007 SCM) and included all four IM and Zinc Rich Primer labeling statements: San Joaquin, Ventura, Imperial, Eastern Kern, Placer, Mojave, and Antelope Valley.

Staff verified that all four label sta tements were in all the rules referenced by Mr. Darling. We also believe the spirit and intent of the two ARB 2007 SCM provisions (“For industrial use only” or “For professional use only”) are essentially met with the two

additional statements: “Not for re sidential

use” and “Not intended for residential use.”
Hence, we did not modify the rule to align

with the 2007 SCM text.Santa Barbara County APCD 3

### Comments from Robert Wendoll of the Dunn-Edwards Corporation, June 17, 2014

COMMENT 1

Dunn-Edwards Corporation is a Californiabased manufacturer a nd distributor of architectural coatings, serving the

Southwestern United States. Our Main Office and a majority of our retail outlets are located in California, where we employ more than 1,500 people directly, and contribute indirectly to the livelihoods of thousands more professional painting contractors and maintenance staff painters throughout the state.

RESPONSE TO COMMENT 1

Comment noted.

COMMENT 2

Dunn-Edwards is pleased to support the adoption of Santa Barbara County APCD Proposed Rule 323.1 – Architectural Coatings, as recommended for adoption at the Board hearing on June 19, 2014. As it is essentially consistent with the California Air Resources Board’s Suggested Control Measure for Architectural Coatings, the new rule will promote effective enforcement by the District, efficient distribution of product by manufacturers and re tailers, and simplify compliance for painters, both professional and do-it-yourselfers. We thank District staff

for their consideration of comments previously offered by Dunn-Edwards and the American Coatings Association.

G. Compliance Provisions and Test Methods

1. Calculat ion of VOC Content: For the purpose of determining compliance with the VOC Content

limits in Table 323.1

- 1, the VOC Content of a coating shall be determined using the procedure described in the appropriate Section C definition. The VOC Content of a tint ba se shall be

determined without colorant that is added after the tint base is manufactured. If the manufacturer does not recommend thinning, the VOC Content shall be calculated for the product as supplied. If the manufacturer recommends thinning, the VOC Co ntent shall be calculated including the maximum amount of thinning solvent recommended by the manufacturer. If the coating is a multicomponent coating, the VOC Content shall be calculated as mixed or catalyzed. If the coating contains silanes, siloxanes, o r other ingredients that generate ethanol or other VOCs during the curing process, the VOC Content shall include the VOCs emitted during curing.

2. VOC Content of Coatings: To determine the physical properties of a coating in order to perform

the calculat ions in the Section C definition for VOC Actual for low solids coatings or the Section

C definition for VOC Regulatory for all other architectural coatings, the reference method for VOC Content is the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, incorporated by reference in Section G.5.h, except as provided in Sections G.3 and G.4. An alternative method to determine the VOC Content of coatings is South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 304

- 91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Volatile Organic Compo unds (VOC) in Various Materials,” incorporated by reference in Section G.5.i. The exempt compounds content shall be determined by South Coast Air Quality Management District Method 303

- 91 (Revised 1996), “Determination of Exempt Compounds,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 43 (Revised 2005), “Determination of Volatile Methylsiloxanes in Solvent

- Based Coatings, Inks, and Related Materials,” or the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Method 41 (Revised 2005), “Materials Containing P arachlorobenzotrifluoride,” as applicable, incorporated by reference in Sections G.5.g, G.5.e, and G.5.f, respectively. To determine the VOC Content of a coating, the manufacturer may use the Environmental Protection Agency Method 24, or an alternative met hod as provided in Section G.3, formulation data, or any other reasonable means for predicting that the coating has been formulated as intended (e.g., quality assurance checks, recordkeeping). However, if there are any inconsistencies between the results o f a Method 24 test and any other means for determining VOC Content, the Method 24 test results will govern, except when an alternative method is approved as specified in Section G.3. The Control Officer may require the manufacturer

to conduct a Method 24 a nalysis.

3. Alternative Test Methods: Other test methods demonstrated to provide results that are acceptable for purposes of determining compliance with Section G.2, after review and approved in writing by the staffs of the District, the California Air Re sources Board, and the Environmental Protection Agency, may also be used.
