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

Rule 464 was amended to satisfy 42 U.S.C. §§7511a (Federal Clean Air Act §182) which requires ozone

nonattainment areas implement RACT for sources subject to CTGs and for major sources of ozone precursers.

The MDAQMD has an oil

- water separator rule which was approved as RACT into the SIP in 1995 (60 FR 49772).

This rule is subject to the CTG titled Control of Refinery Vacuum Producing Systems, Wastewater Separators and

Process Unit Turnarounds (EPA

- 450/2

- 77

- 02 5 October, 1977). While this CTG specifically states applicability to

petroleum refinery sources, the current rule does not specify the refinery industry, but applies instead to similar

equipment. Although the refinery industry is nonexistent in the MDAQ MD, Rule 464 has been incorporated in the

SIP with applicability for the type of oil

- water separators that exist in the District. The proposed amendments

update rule applicability, definitions, floating cover seal tolerances, control device efficiency, st orage of skimmed

oil and tar, recordkeeping, and test methods.

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

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts atta inment

Discussion: There are no potential adverse environmental impacts of compliance with the adoption of Rule 464. Rule

464 will impose additional controls on VOCs, seal tolerances, and control device efficiency.
