### RULE 1610. OLD-VEHICLE SCRAPPING
(a) Purpose The purpose ofthis rule is to reduce motor vehicle volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NO~), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) exhaust emissions by issuing mobile source emission reduction credits in exchange for the scrapping of old, high emitting vehicles. Pràcurement of old vehicles could be accomplished by persons voluntarily giving up their vehicle for scrapping upon receiving an incentive payment. This rule provides a mechanism through which stationary source emissions can be brought into compliance with District regulations through mobile source emission reductions. Mobile source emission reduction credits (MSERCs) generated may. only be applied towards compliance with designated rules with future compliance dates within District Regulation XI, Source Specific Standards; Regulation XXII, On-Road Motor Vehicle Mitigation; Regulation XIII, New Source Review; Regulation XX, Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM); or any other District regulations that allow the use of credits. MSERCs may not be~applied towards compliance with federal requirements that do not authorize compliance through emissions trading including those promulgated by U.S. EPA as authorized under Title 42, U.S. Code Sections 7411, 7412(d), and those subsections of7511 b ofthe U.S. Code that do not authorize compliance through emissions trading. Thevalue ofthese credits is based on old vehicles having, on average, at least three years useful remaining life prior to scrapping. The effective date for Rule 1610 amendments approved by the Governing Board on July 10, 1998 shall be September 10, 1998.

(b) Definitions Forpurposes ofthis rule, the following definitions shall apply: (1) MOBILE SOURCE EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT (MSERC) means credit for real, quantified emission reductions, approved by the Executive

• Officer or designee, as authorized by this rule, and surplus to emission
