Re: The Following Draft Rules Dated February 29, 2008: 2.24, 2.25, 2.26, 2.29, 2.30, 2.31, 2.33, 2.35, and 2.39

We are providing comments based on our preliminary review of the draft rules identified above. We commend and support the District's efforts to lower solvent limits and obtain additional emission reductions. We thank District staff for meeting with us several times over the past few weeks to discuss the rule revisions and our comments. We understand that the District plans to re-open Rule 2.26, Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, Rule 2.29, Graphic Arts Printing Operations, and Rule 2.33, Adhesive Operations, in the coming year. We further understand that the District wishes to focus on the solvent provisions in these rules in this current project and have only reviewed the portions of these rules that pertain to solvents and surface preparation and clean-up. We will more fully review Rules 2.26, 2.29, and 2.33 as they are re-opened. Unless otherwise indicated, paragraph numbers below refer to the draft rules referenced above. Please direct any questions about our comments to me at (415) 947-4115 or to Sona Chilingaryan at (415) 972-3368.

Rule 2.24, Solvent Cleaning Operations (Degreasing)
The district is proposing to repeal Rule 2.24. Rule 2.24 has been approved into the SIP. In order to avoid problematic SIP relaxation, we recommend that the District add the following provisions from Rule 2.24 to Rule 2.31:
Section d.2: "An apparatus or cover which prevents the solvent from evaporating when not processing work in the degreaser."
Section d.2.a: "For cold solvent cleaning, if the initial boiling point of the solvent as defined by ASTM D-1078-78 is less than 248oF (120oC) or if the solvent is heated, or if the solvent is agitated, then the cover must be designed so that it can be opened and closed easily with one hand." Section d.4: "A permanent conspicuous label, which lists the appropriate operating requirements

Y " Section d.5.a: "For cold solvent cleaning, if the initial boiling point of the solvent as defined by ASTM D-1078-78 is less than 248oF (120oC) or if the solvent is heated above 50oC, then one of the following control devices shall be used: a. A freeboard such that the freeboard ratio is greater than or equal to 0.75..."
Section d.5.c: "For cold cleaning degreasing, if the solvent initial boiling point as defined by ASTM D-1078-78 is less than 248oF (120oC)then the drainage facility must be internal so that the parts are

enclosed under the cover while draining. The drainage facility may be external for applications where an internal type cannot fit the cleaning system." Section d.5.d.1 through Section d.5.d.4:"...d. Remote reservoir cold cleaners shall be equipped with the following devices: 1. A tank or sink-like work area which is sloped sufficiently to preclude pooling of solvent; and 2. A single drain hole, less than 100 square centimeters (15.5 square inches) in area, for the solvent to flow from the sink into the enclosed reservoir; and 3. A freeboard height of at least six inches (14 cm); and 4. A cover for the drain when no work is being processed in the degreaser." Section e.1, and e.5 through e.7: "...e. Any person who employs solvent metal cleaning (degreasing) must conform, unless otherwise exempted by this rule to the following operating requirements: 1. Operate and maintain the degreasing equipment and emission control equipment in proper working order...5. Drain cleaned parts for at least 15 seconds after cleaning or until dripping ceases. (Cold solvent cleaning only) 6. If using a solvent flow, use only a continuous, fluid stream (not a fine, atomized, or shower type spray) at a pressure which does not cause liquid solvent to splash outside of the solvent container. 7. Perform solvent agitation, where necessary, through pump recirculation, ultrasonics, or by means of a mixer. Do not use air agitation of the solvent bath." Rule 2.25, Metal Parts and Products Coating Operations
Per Section 112, sources that apply 50 gallons or less of coatings per year are exempt from the coating limits in Section 301. As ARB notes in their April 3, 2008 comments, there are several other districts with regulations with comparable exemption for sources that apply 20 gallons or less of coatings per year. We support ARB's recommendation to change Section 112 to exempt sources that use up to twenty gallons of coatings a year.
ARB also notes in their comments that several districts have lower limits for "Baked Extreme Performance" coating, "Baked Pretreatment Wash Primer," and "Air Dried Pretreatment Wash Primer." We support ARB's recommendation to lower the limit for "Baked Extreme Performance" coating to 360 g/l, to lower the limit for "Baked Pretreatment Wash Primer" to 275 g/l, and to lower the limit for "Air Dried Pretreatment Wash Primer" to 340 g/l.
Section 113.1 exempts the application of mold-seal coatings from the requirements in Section 302. Please define mold-seal coatings. See Section (b)(36) of South Coast Rule 1107 for potential draft language.

The footnote for A Pretreatment Wash Primers @ in Section 301, Table 1 seems to indicate that a coating can fall under this category regardless of solids content. However, Definition 222 specifies that a pretreatment wash primer is a coating that contains no more than 12 percent solids by weight. To enhance rule clarity, please include all the coatings that are considered A Pretreatment Wash Primers @ for the purposes of Table 1 in the definition for this category.
Section 302 requires that coatings be applied with properly operatedequipment and with one of six application methods specified in Sections

302.1 through 302.6. However, the only application method that is defined in the rule is HVLP spray equipment in Section 302.1. Please add definitions for electrostatic application, flow coat, dip coat, roll coat, and hand coat or hand application methods. These definitions can be taken from the District = s Rule 2.39, Wood Products Coating Operations.
Section 302 also allows sources to use "other high transfer efficiency application equipment which has been approved, in writing, by the APCO." In order to remove director's discretion and to improve the enforceability of this provision, we recommend that the District change Section 302 to require that sources use either one of the application methods in Sections 302.1 through 302.6 or a method that has been demonstrated to the APCO to be capable of achieving a transfer efficiency equivalent or better than HVLP spray equipment.
Rule 2.30, Polyester Resin Operations
Please describe the requirements for monomer content in Section 301.1 more clearly. See Section 5.1.1.1 in San Joaquin Rule 4684 for draft language. Section 402 allows sources to use gel coats and polyester resin materials that do not meet the limits and requirements of this rule if emissions are controlled to an equivalent level. Please clarify how sources would calculate the amount of emissions that would need to be controlled in order to meet the requirements of this section.
Rule 2.31, Surface Preparation and Cleanup

See comments on Rule 2.24 above.
Rule 2.35, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Operations

EPA = s 1978 CTG for the Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products recommends several controls. Please clarify whether the provisions of Rule 2.35 are equivalent to the controls listed in the following sections on page 1-5 and 1-6 of the CTG: 1(c), 2(a), 2(b), 3, and 4. Rule 2.39, Wood Coatings
The District is proposing to remove the definitions for capture and control efficiency from Rule 2.39. We recommend that the District retain these definitions and insert them, as applicable, in the other rules in this rulemaking project as well. To ensure that the requirements in the rule related to overall capture and control efficiency are enforceable, it is important to specify the appropriate way of calculating capture efficiency and control efficiency.
Section 111 exempts sources using less than 55 gallons of wood product coatings and strippers per year. As ARB notes in their comments, several Districts limit similar exemptions to 20 gallons per year. We support ARB = s recommendation to lower this exemption from 55 gallons per year to 20 gallons per year.

ARB = s comments also note that other Districts have lower limits forA High-Solid Stain @ and A Sealer. @ We concur with ARB = s recommendation to

lower the limit for A High-Solid Stain @ and "Sealer" in Table 1 to 240 g/l. Section 303.1 requires that strippers contain less than 350 g/l of VOC per liter of material. ARB = s comments note that SDAPCD Rule 67-11 has a 200 g/l limit for strippers. We concur with ARB = s recommendation to include this lower limit for strippers.

A footnote for conversion varnish in Table 1 indicates that even when used as a self sealing system, conversion varnish coatings are not subject to the lower sealer limit in Table 1. To enhance rule clarity, please include the contents of this footnote in the definition of conversion varnish in Section 209.
A footnote for sealers in Table 1 allows sources to apply sealers with a higher VOC content than the table limit if the topcoat used on the same wood product has a certain VOC content. In order to enhance the enforceability of this provision, please include it in a section of the rule.P r in tin g In d u s tr ie s o fC a lif o r n ia
