### STRIKEOUTCOPYOFAMENDED RULE 1610(Adopted January8, 1993)(Amended January 14, 1994) (Amended February 11, 1994) (Amended October 13, 1995) (Amended March 8, 1996)(Amended April 11, 1997) (Amended May9, 1997)

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. Procurement of old vehicles could be accomplished by persons voluntarily givingup their vehicle for scrapping upon receiving an incentive payment. This rule provides a mechanism through which stationary source emissions caii 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 fi.iture compliance dates within District Regulation XI, Source Specific Standards; Regulation XV, Trip Reduction/Indirect Source; 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), andthose subsections of7511b ofthe U.S. Codethat do not authorize compliancethrough emissions trading. The value ofthese credits is based on old vehicles having at least threeyears usefhl remaining life priorto scrapping.

(b) Definitions Forpurposes ofthis rule, thefollowing definitions shall apply: (1) MOBII~E 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 reductions required by ARE, District, and U.S. EPA regulations and the

1610-1

### Rule 1610 (Cont.) (Amended May9, 1997)

most recent District or U.S. EPA approved Air Quality Management Plan, whicheveris more stringent. (2) NITROGEN OX[DES (N0J means the sum ofnitric oxides and nitrogen dioxides emitted, collectively expressed as nitrogen dioxide emissions. (3) OLD-VEHICLE means 1981 and earlier model-year passenger cars and light-dutytrucks. (4) OLD-VEHICLE SCRAPPING PROGRAM means a program in which old vehicles are scrapped in exchange.forMSERCs. (5) SCAQMD LICENSED SCRAPPER means an entity certified by the Executive Officer or designee to generate MSERCs by scrapping vehicles,
as authorized bythis rule. (6) SCRAPPING means the process by which a motorvehicle is permanently removed from service. (7) VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOU1~D (VOC) means any volatile compound of carbon, excluding: methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, ammonium carbonate, and exempt compounds as defined in District Rule 102.

(c) SCAQMD Licensed ScrapperCertification Requirements (1) Certification as an SCAQMD licensed scrapper shall be limited to: VOC, 

### NOx, CO, orPM stationaryemission sources subjectto District Regulation 

### XI, Source Specific Standards, rules with future compliance dates; Regulation XIII, New Source Review; Regulation XV, Trip Reduction/Indirect Source; orRegulation XX, RECLAIM. (2) SCAQMD licensed scrappers shall have vehicles scrapped only by auto dismantlers that are licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. (3) All scrapping plans approved pursuantto paragraph (c)(5) shall require the scrapping ofa minimum of50 old vehicles within six months ofthe date of approval ofthe scrapping plan. MSERCs may not be issued for any old vehicles scrapped pursuant to a plan approved after the effective date of this amendment if at least fifty old vehicles have not been scrapped pursuant to the plan within six months ofplan approval. Notwithstanding theforegoing, the minimum shall be 10 forthe motion picture industry and in cases where the Executive Officer or designee determines that the minimum of 50 should be lowered because hardship has been
