    (909) 396-2706

    A. Determine That Proposed Amended Rule 1148.1 – Oil and Gas Production Wells, Is Exempt from CEQA and Amend Rule 1148.1

    Rule 1148.1 – Oil and Gas Production Wells applies to facilities that operate oil and gas wells. Proposed Amended Rule (PAR) 1148.1 will address objectives of the Wilmington, Carson, and West Long Beach and South Los Angeles AB 617 communities. PAR 1148.1 requires the use of enhanced leak detection technology, equipment that uses produced gas to meet specific NOx limits, and workover rigs to use Tier 4 Final diesel engines. PAR 1148.1 also bans the use of odorants and updates signage requirements. This action is to adopt the Resolution: 1) Determining that Proposed Amended Rule 1148.1 – Oil and Gas Production Wells, is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, and 2) Amending Rule 1148.1. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, May 17, 2024)

    (909) 396-3244

    B. Determine That Proposed Rule 2306 – Freight Rail Yards Does Not Require a New Environmental Document; Determine That Proposed Rule 316.2 – Fees for Rule 2306, Is Exempt From CEQA; and Adopt Proposed Rules 2306 and 316.2

    Proposed Rule 2306 seeks to reduce NOx emissions associated with freight rail yard operations by requiring operators of freight rail yards to meet or exceed emission reduction targets. The proposed rule will ensure that emission reductions will be proportional or greater in the South Coast AQMD relative to reductions throughout California from implementation of state regulations. Additionally, any state or local government agency contracting with the owner or operator of a freight rail yard in relation to its lease, construction, or operation will be required to include requirements for rule compliance in new, renewed, or amended contracts. Proposed Rule 316.2 will establish fees for owners and operators of freight rail yards to recover costs incurred by South Coast AQMD for implementation of Proposed Rule 2306. If adopted, Proposed Rule 2306 will be submitted to CARB for their consideration and transmittal to U.S. EPA. (Reviewed: Mobile Source Committee, January 19, April 19, and June 21, 2024)

    24. Determine That Proposed Rule 317.1 – Clean Air Act Nonattainment Fees for 8-Hour Ozone Standards Is Not Considered Subject to CEQA; and Adopt Rule 317.1

    Michael Krause

    (909) 396-2706
    Section 185 of the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requires areas that are classified as “severe” or “extreme” that do not attain the NAAQS for ozone by their assigned attainment dates to pay fees based upon a prescribed formula each year until the NAAQS is attained. Proposed Rule 317.1 – Clean Air Act Nonattainment Fees for 8-Hour Ozone Standards (PR 317.1) would implement these CAA requirements for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone standards. The provisions of PR 317.1 would address when and how the CAA nonattainment fees would be assessed and collected. This action is to adopt the Resolution: 1) Determining that Proposed Rule 317.1 – Clean Air Act Nonattainment Fees for 8-Hour Ozone Standards, is not considered a project subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act; and 2) Adopt Rule 317.1 – Clean Air Act Nonattainment Fees for 8-Hour Ozone Standards. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, April 19, and May 17, 2024)

  • 25. Certify Final Environmental Assessment for Proposed Amended Rule 463 – Organic Liquid Storage; and Amend Rule 463

    Michael Krause

    (909) 396-2706
    Proposed Amended Rule 463 (PAR 463) establishes enhanced leak detection using optical gas imaging, more stringent control requirements to dome external floating roof tanks, and other requirements. Additionally, PAR 463 will include contingency measures for both the Coachella Valley and the South Coast Air Basin, which will require more frequent use of optical gas imaging, if triggered. This action is to adopt the Resolution: 1) Certifying the Final Environmental Assessment for Proposed Amended Rule 463 – Organic Liquid Storage; and 2) Amending Rule 463 – Organic Liquid Storage. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, April 19, 2024)

  • 26. Determine That Proposed Amended Rule 1146.2 – Emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen from Large Water Heaters, Small Boilers and Process Heaters Does Not Require a New Environmental Document; and Amend Rule 1146.2

    Michael Krause

    (909) 396-2706
    Proposed Amended Rule 1146.2 (PAR 1146.2) proposes to require zero-emission (0 ppmv) NOx limits for new installations of applicable large water heaters, small boilers, and process heaters based on future effective dates depending on the commercial availability of zero-emission technologies. The future effective dates will allow time for the technology to mature and commercialization of technologies. PAR 1146.2 also proposes zero-emission limits for existing units after the unit reaches a specific age, with an exemption on unit age for units installed at residential structures and small businesses and provides alternative compliance options and a low-use exemption to address challenges transitioning to zero-emission technologies. In addition, PAR 1146.2 clarifies and updates rule language. This action is to adopt the Resolution: 1) Determining that Proposed Amended Rule 1146.2 – Emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen from Large Water Heaters and Small Boilers and Process Heaters is a later activity within the scope of the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2022 AQMP such that no new environmental document will be required; and 2) Amending Rule 1146.2. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, March 15, April 19, and May 17, 2024)

  • 27. Determine That South Coast Air Basin Attainment Plan for 2012 Annual PM2.5 Standard Does Not Require a New Environmental Document; and Adopt South Coast Air Basin Attainment Plan for 2012 Annual PM2.5 Standard

    Sarah Rees

    (909) 396-2856
    The South Coast Air Basin is in “serious” nonattainment for the 2012 annual PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard. A plan to attain this standard was originally submitted to U.S. EPA in 2017 but U.S. EPA delayed acting on the plan. In the meantime, near-road air quality monitoring data became eligible for inclusion in SIP attainment demonstrations, and the plan was withdrawn in 2023 to account for this new data and to satisfy other SIP requirements. A Draft PM2.5 Plan was developed that demonstrates attainment of the 2012 annual PM2.5 standard by 2030 in the South Coast Air Basin. This plan also includes limited additional controls for PM2.5 and its precursors to satisfy Clean Air Act Section 188(e) requirements.
