### OF THE MOJAVE DESERT AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT VICTORVILLE, CALIFORNIA AGENDA ITEM 

## J. DATE: April28, 2014 

### RECOMMENDATION: Set date ofJune 23,2014 to conduct a public hearing to considerthe amendment ofRule 464

- Oil-Water Separators and approval ofCEQA documentation. 

### SUMMARY: This item officially sets the date for the mandatory public hearing to be held onthe amendment ofRule 464. Rule 464 is proposed for amendment to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§7511a (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) §182) which requires that ozone nonattainment areas implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources that are subjectto Control Technique Guidelines (CTGs) and for major sources ofozone precursors. 

### CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None 

### BACKGROUND: The MDAQMD has the authority pursuantto CaliforniaHealth and Safety Code (H&S Code) §40702 to adopt, amend orrepeal rules and regulations
. The MDAQMD is proposing to amend Rule 464- Oil

- Water Separators for inclusion in the currentrulebook. The FCAA requires areas designated non-attainment and classified moderate and above to implement RACT for sources subject to CTG documents issued by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for "ma jor sources, ofvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides ofnitrogen (NOx) which are ozone precursors. The District adopted the RACTSIPAnalysis in August, 2006 and a suppl ement to the RACT SIPAnalysis in 2014 which committed to amending current RACT for oil-water separators. The MDAQMD has an oil-water separator rule which was approved as RACT into the SIP in 1995 (60 FR49772). This rule is subject to the CTGtitled Control of Refinery Vacuum Producing Systems, Wastewater Separators andProcess Unit Turnarounds (EPA-45012-77-025 October, 1977)
. While this CTG specifically states applicability to petroleum refinery sources, the currentrule does not specify the refinery industry, but applies instead to similar equipment. Although the refmery industry is nonexistent in the MDAQMD, Rule 464 has been incorporated in the SIP with applicability for the type ofoil-water separators that exist inthe District. The MDAQMD is now proposing to update Rule 464

- Oil

- Water Separators to reflect current RACT.
