Notice of Public Workshop
Revisions to Rules on Solvent
Cleaning Machines and
Solvent Cleaning, Definitions, and
Permitting Provisions
Thursday, June 25, 2009, at 10:00 a.m.
260 N. San Antonio Road, Suite A, Santa Barbara, CA
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District)
will hold a Public Workshop at the time and location listed above to
accept comments on proposed revisions to Rules 102 (Definitions),
202 (Exemptions to Rule 201), and 321 (Solvent Cleaning Machines and
Solvent Cleaning).
Sources and Activities Potentially Affected
Oil and gas exploration, production, processing and marketing
sources; mineral processing; construction; repair shops;
manufacturers; and space vehicle and satellite processing. Also
affected are any other activities that:
1. Use a solvent
cleaning machine (degreaser), and/or
2. Employ solvent
cleaning (e.g., wipe cleaning) and are not already regulated by a
source-specific District rule (i.e., Rule 325, 326, 330, 337, 339,
343, 344, 349, 351, 353, or 354).
About the Proposed Rule Revisions
The proposed revised Rule 321 contains new solvent reactive
organic compound (ROC) content limits, revised equipment
requirements for degreasers, and new requirements for using certain
solvent cleaning devices and methods. These proposed provisions
apply to two general categories: 1) solvent cleaning machines
(degreasers) and 2) solvent cleaning done outside of solvent
cleaning machines (e.g., wipe cleaning). The scope of the
rulemaking action includes adding new definitions to Rule 102
(Definitions) and making slight changes to Rule 202 (Exemptions to
Rule 201) to provide rule clarity and for consistency with the
revised Rule 321 provisions.
This rulemaking effort is consistent with commitments made in the
District’s Clean Air Plans. During the process of preparing the
proposed amended rules, staff considered comments received from
various sectors of industry over an extended time period. A
Background Paper for this project and the proposed amended rules may
be reviewed on this web site on this
page, or at the following locations:
