Update on Gregg Industries Current
Regulatory Activities (10 mins.)
The current compliance status and community complaint situation at Gregg
Industries, an El Monte sand mold and iron casting manufacturer, was
referred to the Stationary Source Committee (Committee) at the July
Governing Board meeting as a result of a complainant's public comments
regarding on-going odors from the facility. An initial report overviewing the lengthy odor complaint history, agency enforcement actions,
and facility modifications was presented at the Committee's August
meeting. Committee members requested another update be presented at
the September meeting. This report will highlight activity
occurring in the past four weeks. |

Rule 1110.2 - Emissions from Gaseous and
Liquid-Fueled Engines (20 mins.)
Unannounced emission tests by AQMD enforcement staff have discovered
that about half of stationary engines tested were out of compliance with
their emissions limits, due to poor operating and maintenance procedures
and inadequate monitoring required by the rule. The proposed
amendments are intended to: 1) improve the compliance record of engines
with better monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting; 2) achieve further
emission reduction based on the cleanest available technologies; and 3)
address rule changes recommended by USEPA Region IX. |
