p.m.
Board of Supervisors Hearing Room
105 East Anapamu Street Santa Barbara, California 93101
Proposed Amended Rule 339
Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD)
Board of Directors will hold a public hearing at the time and
location listed above to accept comments and consider adoption of
amended Rule 339.
Sources Potentially Affected
This amended rule affects any person who sells, specifies the use
of, offers for sale, or applies coatings for the purpose of
finishing or refinishing motor vehicles, mobile equipment and their
exterior parts and components.
About the Proposed Amended Rule
Rule 339 will be amended to adopt the provisions of the
California Air Resources Board’s (CARB’s) Suggested Control Measure
for Automotive Refinish Coatings. The amended rule will include new
control techniques to reduce solvent emissions. The most significant
components of this rule revision involve: separate volatile organic
compound (VOC) limits for clear and color coatings (color coat VOC
limit of 420 grams per liter); simplified and combined coating
categories, and a 25 gram per liter VOC limit for most cleaning
solvents. Most elements of the amended rule will take effect on
January 1, 2009. For more information regarding this rule revision
and suggested control measure please see
this page on this
website and the CARB website
www.arb.ca.gov/coatings/autorefin/scm/scm.htm. .
The 2001, 2004 and 2007 Clean Air Plans identified the need to
incorporate the Suggested Control Measures for Automotive Refinish
Coatings recently adopted by the state (CARB).
The APCD has determined that the proposed revisions to this rule
will not cause new significant effects which were not addressed in
the 1991 Air Quality Attainment Plan Environmental Impact Report and
the 2007 Clean Air Plan Supplemental Environmental Impact Report.
Any subsequent changes to the project description will require
additional environmental review.
