NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

In accordance with N.H. Admin. Rule Env-A 204.01(b) and 40 CFR §51 .102, notice is hereby 

given that the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Air Resources Division, will hold a 

public hearing on proposed amendments to the NH Code of Administrative Rules on Monday, January 

10, 2005. The public hearing will be held in Room 114, first floor of the offices of the Department of 

Environmental Services, 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH. 

At 9:00 a.m. on Monday, January 10, 2005, the Department will receive testimony from the 

public concerning the proposed readoption with amendment of Env-A 1204, Solvent Metal Cleaners. As 

required by NH Laws of 2004, Chapter 175, the Department is proposing to incorporate relevant portions 

of the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) model rule for solvent metal cleaning into Env-A 1204; this 

entails making several substantive changes including but not limited to the following described changes . 

The Department proposes to specifically include anyone who sells any solvent containing volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) for use in a cold cleaning machine while providing exemptions for cold cleaning 

machines that have an operating capacity of a liter or less of VOCs and for open top degreasers with an 

open top area of less than a square meter. Other exemptions are also provided in the proposed rule such as 

removing certain requirements for machines that have a closed cover during cleaning operations and not 

requiring cold cleaning machines of a specified size to comply with control equipment requirements . The 

Department proposes to allow for a pass-through period between banning the sale of non-compliant solvent 

and banning the use of non-compliant solvent . Finally, the Department proposes to impose recordkeeping 

requirements on both sellers and purchasers of solvents . 

Testimony may be presented orally and/or in writing at the public hearing. The Department will 

receive written comments on the proposed rules until 4 :00 p.m. on Thursday, January 20, 2005. Please 

submit written comments to Sheri Eldridge-Banack, SSMB Planning Specialist, Air Resources Division, 

NH Department of Environmental Services, P.O. Box 95, Concord, NH 03302-0095. Comments may 

also be faxed to (603) 271-7053, or you may e-mail them to sbanack@des.state .nh .us . 

Copies of all documentation pertaining to rulemakings for all air rules are available for inspection 

at the offices of the Air Resources Division at the address stated above. A copy of the proposed rules is 

also available on the NH DES website at http ://www.des.state .rnh.us/rulemaking./_. Questions regarding 

the proposed rulemaking should be directed to Sheri Eldridge-Banack at (603) 271-0880.
