6 Agenda Item No. 9 Attachment - Item No /3/2015 Quiz A State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a United States state plan for complying with the federal Clean Air Act, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency. The SIP consists of narrative, rules, technical documentation, and agreements that an individual state will use to clean up polluted areas. 7 Rule Modification Proposed Timeline Prepare language and negative declaration by 11/2015 Public Notice 12/2015 Public Workshops 1/2016 Advisory Committee 2/2016 Board Hearing 3/2015 Presented for adoption 4/ Rules Considered For Modification Questions Thank you 9 2

7 Attachment - Item No. 17 Agenda Item No. 9 ENGINEERING EVALUATION PERMITTING 101 October 21, 2015 District Prohibitory Rules and other Local Rules State Regulations Federal Regulations INITIAL CONTACT 1. Determine the nature of the project what is the applicant proposing to do? 2. Inform applicant of the rules and regulations that will apply to their process. 3. Discuss the regulatory time frame allowed to complete the engineering review. 4. Supply the applicant with Application Forms and Permit Application Fee Sheet. 5. Request any additional information deemed necessary to calculate the potential emissions from the facility. Local District Rule 207 Review of New or Modified Sources Implementation of the Federal and California Clean Air Act Requirements for both New Source Review (NSR) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Programs REGULATORY TIME CLOCK From the date the District receives the application, the engineer has 30 days to deem the application complete or incomplete. If incomplete the time clock stops. If complete, the application review must be completed within 180 days. Goals of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Review 1. Ensure that economic growth will occur in harmony with the preservation of existing clean air resources to prevent the development of any new nonattainment problems; 2. To protect the public health and welfare from any adverse effect which might occur even at air pollution levels better than the national ambient air quality standards; and 3. To preserve, protect, and enhance the air quality in areas of special natural, recreational, scenic, or historic value. 1

8 Agenda Item No. 9 Attachment - Item No. 17 How Does the District Prevention Significant Deterioration? Through Two Legal Tools: 1. Best Available Control Technology; and 2. Offsets WHAT IS AN OFFSET AND HOW IS IT OBTAINED? An offset is an emissions reduction from an existing source that is necessary to mitigate an emissions increase from a proposed project. 1. Internally offset their emissions by taking limits or adding controls to other process at their site. 2. Reduce emissions from a source within the District by purchasing control equipment for another facility. 3. Purchase Emission Reduction Credits from Bank. Federal BACT Trigger Levels (NOx, SOx, VOC, & PM) Local District Rule 1000 Toxic Air Contaminants Source Emissions 150 Emissions greater than or equal to 150 lbs/day = BACT Required Emissions less than 150 lbs/day = No BACT required Trigger Level Utilize air dispersion models to predict maximum Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) concentrations off the property boundary Review TAC concentration results to ensure proposed project does not exceed any Acute or Chronic Reference Exposure Levels, or exceed an excess cancer risk of 10 in million Federal Offset Threshold Levels CRITERIA POLLUTANTS POUNDS PER DAY Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) 150 Oxides of Sulfur (SOx) 150 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) 150 Carbon Monoxide (CO) 550 Particulate Matter < 100 microns (PM) 150 Particulate Matter < 10 microns (PM10) 82 State & Federal Regulations State Air Toxic Control Measures (ATCMs) Emissions of Hexavalent Chromium and Cadmium from Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coatings Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Mineral Processing Facilities Federal National Emission Standards of Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines 2

9 Attachment - Item No. 17 Agenda Item No. 9 SCHOOL NOTICE CALIFORNIA HEALTH & SAFETY CODE Triggered when there are new toxic air contaminant emissions within 1000 feet of any K 12 schools, (both public and private) with 12 or more students. Notice allows for a 30 day public comment period. PERMIT TO OPERATE (PTO) The engineer must produce an effective permit to not only assist the facility in operating in compliance, but to also assist the District inspector in determining ongoing compliance. An effective permit should do all the following: 1. Identify the emission units to be regulated; 2. Establish clear and concise emission standards or other enforceable operational limits to be met; 3. Specify methods for determining compliance, including reporting and recordkeeping requirements. AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT (ATC) An ATC is an air quality permit issued prior to construction or modification of any emissions unit or permitted process. Shows the proposal can reasonably be expected to comply with air quality regulations. Valid for 2 years, but may be extended up to a total of 7 years. START UP INSPECTION 1. Verify that the equipment/operation in the field matches the proposed and reviewed project; 2. Discuss any monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; 3. Ensure facility is aware of emission limits, and any operational or production limits; and 4. Answer any questions the owner/operator might have. 3
