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

Rule 223 establishes the permitting and other requi rements for Large Confined Animal Facilities (LCAFs ), as

defined by CARB, in California Health & Safety Code as a result of the enactment of SB 700. The permi t for

LCAFs must include a plan to reduce emissions to th e maximum extent feasible and the plan is to be upd ated

annually. Emission reductions are not quantified. California Health & Safety Code requires this rule for inclusion

in the SIP.

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

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: The adoption of Rule 223 will satisfy state requirements for permitting of large confined animal facilities. The

rule is crafted in such a way to promote feasible, cost-effective emissions reductions at these facili ties although emission

reductions have not been quantified or claimed for credit in the SIP. Control of emissions from agric ultural operations in

the AQMD will further the efforts to meet clean air standards in the region.
