Emission Inventory 

The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) has released its final estimates of volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from pesticides for 2005 and 2006, as well as preliminary estimates for 2007. 

Emissions in 2007 were lower than 2004 for all five ozone nonattainment areas tracked by DPR. The 

memo summarizing the estimates is available at 

http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/emon/vocs/vocproi/voc data analvsis.htm 

Proposed revisions to fumigant VOC regulations and state implementation plan 

DPR is proposing revised rules to reduce VOC fumigant en-~issions. The San Joaquin Valley would be 

most affected by the revised rules. The revised rules follow a decision in August by the Ninth Circuit Court 

of Appeals in San Francisco on DPR's commitment in the 1994 State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 

federal Clean Air Act requires each state to submit a SIP for achieving and maintaining federal air quality 

standards for ozone. The proposed rules leave in place restrictions on application methods to reduce VOC 

fumigant emissions, change the emission level that triggers fumigant allowances and delay the potential 

for triggering fumigant allowances until 201 1 in all areas except Ventura County. Fumigant allowances 

already are required each year in Ventura County through at least 2012. Allowances are included in the 

permit required for fumigant use issued by the local agricultural commissioner. 

Public hearings on the proposed rules and SIP have been scheduled for: 

Jan. 12, Bakersfield: 5 p.m., Kern County Agricultural Pavilion, 3300 East Belle Terrace. 

Jan. 14, Sacramento: 1 p.m., Sierra Hearing Room, California Environmental Protection Agency 

headquarters, 1001 1 St.
