Name(s) and Location(s) (city and county) of Large (> 100 TPY) Sources Controlled by Rule (Attach additional sheets as 

necessary): Rule 810 is a PSD rule that incorporates 40 CFR 52.21 by reference. The federal law could require the use 

of BACT depending on a new or modified source’s emissions. The District is unaware of any new sources that would 

trigger BACT under the federal PSD regulation. Further, the District has identified large sources that could be subject to 

the federal PSD regulation if a source underwent a significant modification that triggers the BACT requirement: City of 

Santa Maria Landfill, 2065 East Main Street, Santa Maria; County of SB-Tajiguas Landfill, 14470 Calle Real, Goleta; Dos 

Cuadras - South County, Offshore Santa Barbara County in the OCS, Southern Zone of the County; E & B - South
