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

The District Governing Board adopted amendments to Ru le 4354 at the October 2008 Public Hearing that

established more stringent emissions limitations for gla ss melting furnaces. The 2008 rule project implemented

an emission control measure in the District’s 2007 Ei ght-Hour Ozone Plan and the District’s 2008 PM2.5 Plan.

The control measures project reduced NOx emission limits fo r all types of glass melting furnaces. In the PM2.5

Plan, the control measure also anticipated SOx and PM reductions, but does not quantify the expected emission

reductions for these pollutants. The emission limits adopt ed in 2008 were estimated to reduce NOx by 3 tons per

day, SOx by 1.1 tons per day and directly-emitt ed PM10 (meaning PM2.5) by about 0.1 tons per day

During the October 2008 hearing, there was significant di scussion regarding concerns raised by affected sources

about the information used by the Dist rict to evaluate the potential cost impacts and cost-effectiveness of the

proposed rule amendments. As a result, the Governing Boar d provided additional direction to staff to re-evaluate

the impact of the rule amendments and report back to t he Board within 18 months of adoption to accommodate

additional cost information prov ided by affected businesses.

Based on staff’s re-evaluation of the adopted rule amendments and recommendations made at the April 15, 2010

Public Hearing, the Board directed staff to dev elop and propose future rule amendments to Rule 4354

incorporating short-term emission limitation flexibility for flat glass manufacturing facilities committed to achieving

more stringent long-term emissions limitations earlier than would otherwise be required by the rule. In allowing

this flexibility, the additional emission reductions for the affected facility.are about 0.1 tons per day of additional

NOx.

**VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN**

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: The purpose of these amendments is to change a compliance schedule, which will affect one facility. The

additional 0.1 tons per day of NOx expect ed as a result of the change in complianc e date will not affect the District's

attainment date for either the 8-hour standard or the PM2. 5 standard, nor will the rule amendments affect any of the

District's attainment strategy. See t he staff report for a more detailed discussi on of the impact of the rule amendments on

air quality plans.
