1. Approve Minutes of April 1, 2011 Board Meeting (PDF,  276kb)
   McDaniel (909)396-2500
   (smcdaniel@aqmd.gov)
   
   
2. Set Public Hearings¹ to Consider Amendments and/or Adoption to AQMD Rules and Regulations as follows: (PDF, 18kb)
   Wallerstein (909) 396-3131
   (bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)
   
   
   1. Set Public Hearing June 3, 2011 to Amend Rule 2005 - New Source Review for RECLAIM (PDF, 200kb)
      Tisopulos (909) 396-3123
      (ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
      To offset emissions from a new or modified unit, Rule 2005 requires a RECLAIM facility to hold sufficient RECLAIM Trading Credits (RTCs) at the beginning of each year the unit is in operation, in addition to at the end of the compliance year, as for other RTC requirements. These RTC holding requirements may provide a disadvantage to modernization, potentially delaying emission reductions. The current proposal is to eliminate the requirement for existing facilities to hold RTCs in advance of second and subsequent years. All emissions will still be offset by RTCs at the end of the applicable compliance period. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, January 21, 2011)
      
      
   2. Set Public Hearing June 3, 2011 to Adopt Proposed Rule 310.1 - Amnesty for Unpermitted Equipment and Small Business Discount for Control Equipment (PDF, 92kb)
      Tisopulos (909) 396-3123
      (ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
      Proposed Rule 310.1 - Amnesty for Unpermitted Equipment and Small Business Discount for Control Equipment will exempt owners and operators of unpermitted equipment that meet certain conditions from civil and criminal penalties and late filing fees if the necessary permit applications and fees are voluntarily filed and paid during the amnesty period of July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. In addition, the proposed rule provides an additional 50 percent discount to small businesses filing complete applications to install control equipment during the same time period. This rule implements Board direction to incentivize compliance and encourage emission reductions. (Review: Administrative Committee, May 13, 2011)
      
      
   3. Set Public Hearing July 8, 2011 to Amend Rule 1147 – NOx Reductions from Miscellaneous Sources
      Tisopulos (909) 396-3123
      (ltisopulos@aqmd.gov)
      To respond to compliance challenges currently being experienced, staff is recommending delay of the NOx emission limit compliance dates for equipment subject to Rule 1147. The proposed rule also limits the requirements for fuel and time meters. PAR 1147 will also reduce compliance cost due to emissions testing and clarify existing requirements. PAR 1147 will result in delayed emissions reductions from equipment subject to this rule. However, PAR 1147 would achieve the same reductions as the existing rule by 2014. (Reviewed: Stationary Source Committee, April 15, 2011)
