SIP COMPLETENESS CHECKLIST

(Electronic Format)

*** TO BE COMPLETED BY DISTRICT AND RETURNED TO ARB ***

All rules submitted to the EPA as State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions must be supported by certain information and documentation for
the rule packages to be deemed complete for review by the EPA.  Rules
will not be evaluated for approvability by the EPA unless the submittal
packages are complete.  To assist you in determining that all necessary
materials are included in rules packages sent to the ARB for submittal
to the EPA, please fill out the following form and include it with the
rule package you send ARB.  See the ARB's Guidelines on the
Implementation of the 40 CFR 51, Appendix V, for a more detailed
explanation than is provided here.  Adopted rules and rule amendments
should be checked against U.S. EPA's Guidance Document for Correcting
Common VOC & Other Rule Deficiencies (Little Blue Book, August 21, 2001)
to ensure that they contain no elements which will result in disapproval
by EPA.

District  SJVUAPCD           Rule
No.      4565                Date   Adopted March
15, 2007.

Rule Title      Rule 4565 (Biosolids, Animal Manure, and Poultry
Litter Operations)

ADMINISTRATIVE MATERIALS

Note:  All documents should be in electronic format.  Items that have
signatures, initials, or stamps may be scanned.

		Not

Attached	Attached	N/A

(X)		( )		( )	COMPLETE COPY OF THE RULE:  Provide an unmarked copy of
the entire rule as adopted or amended by your District Board.

( )		( )		(X)	UNDERLINE AND STRIKEOUT COPY OF THE RULE:  If an amended
rule, provide a complete copy of the rule indicating in underline and
strikeout format all language which has been added, deleted, or changed
since the rule was last adopted or amended.

( )		( )		(X)	COMPLETE COPY OF THE REFERENCED RULE(S):  For any rule
which includes language specifically referencing another rule, a copy of
that other rule must also be submitted, unless it has already been
submitted to EPA as part of a previous SIP submittal.

(X)		( )		( )	PUBLIC NOTICE EVIDENCE:  Include a copy of the local
newspaper clipping certification(s), stating the date of publication,
which must be at least 30 days before the hearing.  As an alternative,
include a copy of the actual published notice of the public hearing as
it appeared in the local newspaper(s). In this case, however, enough of
the newspaper page must be included to show the date of publication. 
The notice must specifically identify by title and number each rule
adopted or amended.

(X)		( )		( )	RESOLUTION/MINUTE ORDER:  Provide the Board Clerk
certified resolution or minute order.  This document must include
certification that the hearing was held in accordance with the
information in the public notice.  It must also list the rules that were
adopted or amended, the date of the public hearing, and a statement of
compliance with California Health and Safety Code Sections 40725-40728
(Administrative Procedures Act).

()		( )		(X)	PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSES:  Submit copies of written
public comments made during the notice period and at the public hearing.
 Also submit any written responses prepared by the District staff or
presented to the District Board at the public hearing.  A summary of the
public comments and responses is adequate.  If there were no comments
made during the notice period or at the hearing, please indicate N/A to
the left.

TECHNICAL MATERIALS

Note:  All documents and forms should be in electronic format.

		Not

Attached	Attached	N/A

(X)		( )		( )	RULE EVALUATION FORM:  See instructions for completing the
Rule Evaluation Form and the accompanying sample form.

(X)		( )		()	NON-EPA TEST METHODS:  Attach all test methods that are
referenced in your rule that do not appear in 40 CFR 51, 60, 61, 63, or
have not been previously submitted to EPA.  EPA methods used in other
media such as SW846 for solid waste are not automatically approved for
air pollution applications.  Submittal of test methods that are not
EPA-approved should include the information and follow the procedure
described in Region 9’s “Test Method Review & Evaluation Process.”

( )		( )		(X)	MODELING SUPPORT:  Provide if appropriate.  In general,
modeling support is not required for VOC and NOx rules to determine
their impacts on ozone levels.  Modeling is required where a rule is a
relaxation that affects large sources (> 100 TPY) in an attainment area
for SO2, directly emitted PM10, CO, or NOx (for NO2 purposes).  In cases
where EPA is concerned with the impact on air quality of rule revisions
which relax limits or cause a shift in emission patterns in a
nonattainment area, a reference back to the approved SIP will be
sufficient provided the approved SIP accounts for the relaxation and
provided the approved SIP used the current EPA modeling guidelines.  If
current EPA modeling guidelines were not used, then new modeling may be
required.

( )		( )		(X)	ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS FROM
EPA POLICIES:  The District staff report or other information included
with the submittal should discuss all potential relaxations or
deviations from RACT, RACM, BACT, BACM, enforceability, attainment, RFP,
or other relevant EPA requirements.  This includes, for example,
demonstrating that exemptions or emission limits less stringent than the
presumptive RACT (e.g., a CTG) meet EPA’s 5 percent policy, and
demonstrating that all source categories exempted from a RACM/BACM rule
are de minimus according to EPA’s RACM/BACM policy.

(X)		( )		( )	ADDITIONAL MATERIALS:  Provide District staff reports and
any other supporting information concerning development of the rule or
rule changes.  This information should explain the basis for all limits
and thresholds contained in the rule.
