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

Adopted Rule 3.20 Wood Products Coating Operations focuses on limiting the ROG/VOC content of various 

coating categories and strippers and requiring the use of high efficiency coating applications. 

The rule was amended on August 1, 2011 to lower the VOC limits of solvents used in surface preparation and 

clean-up solvents. The VOC reductions from these 2011 rule amendments are addressed in Rule 3.14. 

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2 

 (CO) PM TAC (name): 

II. EFFECT ON EMISSIONS 

Complete this section ONLY for rules that, when implemented, will result in quantifiable changes in emissions. Attach reference(s) for emission factor(s) 

and other information. Attach calculation sheet showing how the emission information provided below was determined. 

Net Effect on Emissions: Increase Decrease N/A 

Emission Reduction Commitment in SIP for this Source Category: none 

Inventory Year Used to Calculate Changes in Emissions: 2001 Area Affected: Yuba and Sutter Counties 

Future Year Control Profile Estimate (Provide information on as many years as possible): 

The 2001 ARB CEIDARS database estimated VOC emissions for the Northern Sacramento Valley Air Basin were 0.289 

tons per day (105.44 tons per year) from the wood products industry. FRAQMD was estimated to be responsible for 0.133 

tons per day (48.41 tons per year). The adoption of Rule 3.20 lead to an estimated 58% reduction for the District, which 

would be 0.077 tons per day (28.1 tons per year) in the northern portion of the DIstrict.
