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

Rule 229, Fiberboard Manufacturing, was adopted on June 28, 1994, and never amended. Adoption of this rule

was necessary to satisfy a Federal Clean Air Act requirement that Districts adopt regulations for major source s of

volatile organic compound s (VOC) and apply Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT). At that time, the

District contained one source

, SierraPine, a manufacturer of Medium Density Fiberboard , subject to the rule . The

rule required control of VOC emis sions from the plant and set minimum VOC control efficiencies for various

operations used in the manufacture of fiberboard.

The SierraPine fiberboard manufacturing was shut down on December 16, 2011

.

On April 12, 2012, the District Board approved resci nding Rule 229, Fiberboard Manufacturing because there we re

currently no sources in the District that are subject to this rule and it is not likely that a new fiberboard

manufacturing operation would locate in Placer County.
