MINUTES OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT LANCASTER, CALIFORNIA AGENDA ITEM

## Z DATE : October 15, 2013 RECOMMENDATION: 1. Conduct a public hearing to consider the amendment of Rule 1130

- GraphicArts and the rescission of Rule 1128

- Paper, Fabric, and Film Coating Operations; 2. Continue hearing to November 19, 2013. SUMMARY: The proposed amendment of Rule 1130

- GraphicArts will satisfy the provisions offormer Health & Safety (H&S) Code §39614(d) which required the adoption ofreadily available, feasible and cost
-effective control measures for particulate matter as well as to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§75lla (Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) § 182) which requires t hat 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 1128 is proposed for rescission. Continuation of the proposed action is necessary to address comments received from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). BACKGROUND: On July l, 1997 the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District (AVAPCD) was created pursuant to statute (former H&S Code §40106, AB. 266-Knight Ch
. 542, statutes of 1996) and assumed all air pollution control responsibilities from the South Coast Air Quality Managem ent District (SCAQMD) for the area ofLos Angeles County outside the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The SCAQMD rules in effect wit hin thejurisd iction of the AVAPCD remained in effect until the AVAPCD Governing Board superceded, amended or rescinded them. On January 1, 2002 the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (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 Once again the rules in effect at the time of the change remained in effect until the AVAQMD Governing Board superceded, amended or rescinded them. The SCAQMD last amended both Rule 1128 and Rule 1130 on March 8, 1996 and these are the current versions in the AVAQMD rulebook. The AV AQMD has the authority pursuant to H&S Code §40702 to adopt, amend or repeal rules and regulations. The AVAQMD is proposing to amend Rule 1130

## 1 PAGE2 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 exist. Former H&S Code §39614(d) (expired by its terms January 1, 2011) required the AVAQMD to adopt the most readily available, feasible 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 t he applicable CARB coating operations (graphic arts) control measures to satisfy both requirements
. This analysis is included in section (V)(C)(2) of the staffreport. 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 content of applicable coatings, drying and curing processes, application methods and cleaning requirements. 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 identified on its list of local control measures the "Coating Operations: Graphic Arts" (referenced #70) strategy of limiting VOC content ofproducts 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 USEPA for "major sources" of VOCs and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) which are ozone precursors. In September, 2006, USEPA adopted a new CTG covering lithographic printing materials, letterpress printing materials, flexible packaging printing materials and industrial cleaning solvents. USEPA has designated San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) Rule 4607

- GraphicArts and Paper, Film, Foil, and Fabric Operations (12/18/08, SIP Approved 74 FR 52894 on 10/15/2009) and Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) Rule 450 GraphicArts Operations (10/23/08, SIP Approved 75 FR 18068 on 04/09/2010) as RACT rules
. SJVAPCD Rule 4607 was used as a basis for the amendments to Rule 1130

- GraphicArts. The proposed amendments to Rule 1130 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, recordkeeping and test methods
