Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

The adopted amendments reduced the VOC limit for cleaning materials to 25 g/l in Section 303 and increased the 

emission control system efficiency requirement to 90% in Section 301.2. The adopted amendment added an 

expiration date to the exemption for cleaning material requirements. The expiration date is set on September 25, 

2009. 

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2 

 (CO) PM TAC (name): 

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when implemented, will result in quantifiable changes in emissions. Attach reference(s) for emission factor(s) 

and other information. Attach calculation sheet showing how the emission information provided below was determined. 

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A 

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: The 1994 SIP included a commitment to reduce VOC 

emissions from surface preparation and cleanup solvents by 2.9 tpd from the Sacramento district. Surface 

preparation and cleanup solvents are included in multiple rules. Prior to amendment of this rule, the district had 

reduced emissions from this category by 2.5 tpd. This rule amendment reduces emissions from this category by 1.7

tons per year (0.005 tpd). Together with the 2008 amendments to eight other prohibitory rules with surface 

preparation and cleanup requirements, the total emission reduction from this category is now 3 tpd, which satisfies 

the SIP commitment.
