Executive Summary 

The Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) requires newly designated ozone non-attainment areas to 

implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) on certain sources, including all 

major sources of ozone precursors. The Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District 

(AVAQMD) has evaluated its adopted rules and all of its major sources of ozone precursors to 

ensure that current rules meet the definition of RACT. The evaluation process produced two 

rules that must be updated to current RACT standards. 

This document presents the evaluation method, the evaluation results, and the AVAQMD’s 

commitment to adopt the required RACT rule updates.

INTRODUCTION 

Purpose 

The FCAA requires that ozone non-attainment areas implement RACT for sources that are 

subject to Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) and for major sources of ozone precursors. 

This document: (1) reviews all available instances of RACT for applicability to the AVAQMD; 

(2) reviews all AVAQMD major sources for RACT applicability; and (3) identifies any actions 

the AVAQMD must take to address applicable RACT requirements. This document satisfies 42 

U.S.C. §§7511a (FCAA §182) regarding RACT requirements for the eight-hour ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). 

BACKGROUND 

Regulatory History 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) designated the desert portion of 

Los Angeles County as non-attainment of the eight-hour ozone NAAQS as part of the Southeast 

Desert Modified Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) on April 15, 2004 (40 CFR 81). This 

large “maintenance area” was classified moderate based on a 128 ppb ozone design value 

calculated from 2000 through 2002 eight-hour ozone values within the San Bernardino County 

portion of the area. 

The desert portion of Los Angeles County was established as it’s own air district as of July 1, 

1997, the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District (AVAPCD), pursuant to former H&SC 

§40106 (Statutes 1996 ch 542, Repealed Statutes 2001 ch. 163). This air district was replaced by 

the AVAQMD on January 1, 2002, pursuant to H&SC §41300 et seq (Statutes 2001 ch. 163). As 

a successor district to SCAQMD, the AVAQMD assumes the authorities and duties of the 

SCAQMD for the Antelope Valley (H&SC §41302). 

Ozone plans have been adopted by the AVAQMD to address Federal ozone planning 

requirements, including RACT applicability. This document updates the Federal RACT portion 

of all previously submitted plans. 

Federal Legal Requirements 

Sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the FCAA require that ozone non-attainment areas implement 

RACT for sources that are subject to CTGs and for major sources of ozone precursors (42 U.S.C. 

§7511a). Ozone non-attainment areas classified moderate and higher must submit a RACT SIP 

(State Implementation Plan) analysis by September 15, 2006 (40 CFR 51.912). 

Pollutant Description and Health Effects 

Ozone (O3)- A colorless gas that is a highly reactive form of oxygen. It has a strong odor when 

highly concentrated. Ozone can occur naturally but can also be formed from other compounds 

through photochemistry, a complex system of reactions with hydrocarbons and oxides of 
6 AVAQMD RACT SIP Analysis 

August 2006 

nitrogen in the presence of sunlight (ultraviolet). The Mojave Desert Air Basin experiences 

ozone concentrations in excess of the State and Federal ambient air quality standards.

Ozone can cause respiratory irritation and discomfort, making breathing more difficult during 

exercise. Ozone can reduce the respiratory system’s ability to remove inhaled particles, increase 

pulse rate, decrease blood pressure and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection. After six 

hours of exposure a healthy person can have significant reduction of lung function. It is an 

irritant of the skin, eyes, upper respiratory system, and mucous membranes, although symptoms 

disappear after exposure. It may also be a carcinogen. 

Setting 

The Antelope Valley is the desert portion of Los Angeles County. The Antelope Valley covers 

1300 square miles and included 219,628 persons as of the 1990 census (approximately 400,000 

in 2002), centered within the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale. The region is characterized by a 

wide, arid valley with little precipitation. Air Force Plant 42 and a portion of Edwards Air Force 

Base are located within the District. 

The primary roadways in the Antelope Valley are State Route 14 and State Route 18. Both of 

these arterials carry a substantial amount of daily commute traffic from the region into the 

Greater Los Angeles Basin. 

The Antelope Valley is primarily a bedroom community, but does have significant aerospace 

development and manufacturing on Plant 42 (Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman 

all lease facilities on the base from the Air Force).

Process 

The AVAQMD reviewed a USEPA-provided list of source categories and applicable CTGs and 

Alternative Control Technology (ACTs) that collectively define RACT. The AVAQMD 

reviewed this list for local applicability, and the results are presented in Appendix A. 

CTG Sources 

Those categories of sources covered by a published CTG are referred to as CTG sources. For 

each CTG source category, the AVAQMD has identified whether or not a current source is sited 

within its jurisdiction, or whether it is likely a source may be sited within its jurisdiction. In 

most cases, where the AVAQMD has no source that meets the category, the AVAQMD will file 

a Federal Negative Declaration (FND) for that category. For some categories the AVAQMD has 

an adopted rule that applies to the category that has been deemed to meet the applicable RACT 

for that category. In two cases the AVAQMD has a current rule that must be updated to current 

RACT standards. Chapter 3 details AVAQMD actions identified by this evaluation process. 

Major Non-CTG Sources 

RACT is also required for all major sources of ozone precursors within the AVAQMD. Table 1 

below presents a list of all facilities that have submitted applications for Title V Federal 

Operating Permits within the AVAQMD, whether the facility is a major source of ozone 

precursors, and the current RACT applicable to those sources. In one case (Rule 1124 - 

Aerospace Assembly and Component Manufacturing Operations) the AVAQMD has an 

applicable RACT rule that must be updated to current RACT. Chapter 3 details AVAQMD 

actions identified by this evaluation process.

Federal Negative Declarations 

Current AVAQMD review has identified many source categories that do not have corresponding 

sources (major or minor) within the jurisdiction of the AVAQMD. For these source categories 

the AVAQMD is filing FNDs. In some cases the FND is an update of an earlier FND. FND 

actions are summarized in Table 2 below.

Required RACT Actions 

The AVAQMD has identified three required RACT rule actions: a rule adoption already in 

process and two rule updates. These actions are detailed below. 

Aerospace Coating

The AVAQMD has aerospace coating operations within its jurisdiction and a current rule that 

applies to this source category, Rule 1124 – Aerospace Assembly and Component Manufacturing 

Operations. Rule 1124 was most recently approved on 5/6/96, prior to the date of the applicable 

CTG.1

 The AVAQMD is currently updating Rule 1124 to comply with the CTG.

Stationary Internal Combustion Engines

The AVAQMD has stationary internal combustion engines at major sources within its 

jurisdiction and current rules that apply to this source category, Rule 1110 - Emissions from 

Stationary Internal Combustion Engines (Demonstration) and Rule 1110.2 - Emissions from 

Stationary, Non-road & Portable Internal Combustion Engines. Each rule is either not yet 

approved or was approved prior to the date of the applicable ACT.2

 The AVAQMD will update 

Rules 1110 and 1110.2 to reflect current stationary internal combustion engine RACT.

Fugitive 

 Fugitive Emission 

Sources of Organic Compounds-Additional Information on Emissions, Emission Reductions, and Costs (EPA-450/3-82-010, 4/82, NTIS PB-82-217-126). Does not define RACT for any particular source. 

Applies to a number of equipment components used in chemical manufacturing processes in the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) which are sources of fugitive emissions (pumps, valves, flanges, compressors, sampling systems, open-ended lines, and pressure relief valves). These points of interface such as seals, packings, and gaskets have a tendency to fail mechanically and thereby leak process fluid. These leaks (if the process fluid is a volatile organic compound) cause emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to the atmosphere.

 1. ACT Document: 

Surface Coating Operations at Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Facilities (EPA453/R-94-032, 4/94, NTIS PB-94-181-864). The ACT was superceded by the Shipbuilding CTG issued in 1996. 

1. This report provides alternative control techniques (ACT) for State and local agencies to consider for incorporating in rules to limit emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and particulate matter including PMIO (that which measures 10 microns or less) that otherwise would result from surface coating operations at shipbuilding and ship repair facilities. Eight models were developed to represent the various types of shipyards that could be covered by the ACT. The relative size of the yard and whether it does new ship construction or repair were the bases for categorization

2. SUMMARY: The CTG for control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from surface coating operations in the shipbuilding and ship repair industry is available to assist States in analyzing and determining reasonably available control technology (RACT) for shipbuilding and ship repair operations located within ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) non-attainment areas. The CTG also sets forth the adoption and implementation dates for RACT. The CTG for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Operations (Surface Coating) is

 EFFECTIVE DATE: Any State 

that has not adopted an approvable RACT regulation for the source category addressed by this CTG must submit a RACT regulation for these sources within one year from the date of publication of this action in the Federal Register. For any State that has adopted an approvable RACT regulation for the source category addressed by this CTG, Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires these States to submit a revision to the applicable implementation plan, to include provisions that require the implementation of RACT. This revision shall be submitted to the EPA not later than August 27, 1997. Furthermore, all States must require sources to implement the required limitations and work practices under these adopted RACT regulations not later than August 27, 1998.
