Proposed Rule Revisions to:
-Rule 330 (Surface Coating of Metal Parts and
Products),
-Rule 337 (Surface Coating of Aerospace Vehicles and
Components),
-Rule 349 (Polyester Resin Operations), and
-Rule
353 (Adhesives and Sealants).
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District)
will hold a workshop during a Community Advisory Council meeting at the
time and location listed above. The purpose of the workshop is to
provide a general overview of the rulemaking project and discuss
proposed amendments to the rules listed above.
Sources and Activities Potentially Affected
Companies and agencies involved in the following operations:
1. Coating metal parts and products (Rule 330),
2. Coating
aerospace vehicles and components (Rule 337),
3. Polyester resin
(fiberglass) operations (Rule 349),
4. Application of adhesives or
sealants (Rule 353, includes construction contractors)
About the Proposed Amendments
The proposed amended rules include new or amended solvent cleaning
provisions. These provisions include use of emission-reducing
housekeeping methods and operating procedures. Amended Rules 330, 349,
and 353 will limit the cleaning solvent reactive organic compound
content to 25 grams per liter. Rule 337 coating categories and limits
are being changed to reflect those found in a U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) Control Techniques Guideline document or other
California air district rules. Changes to other rule provisions (e.g.,
exemptions, recordkeeping) are also proposed to address 1) comments from
the California Air Resources Board and USEPA, and 2) specific industrial
needs. In conjunction with the rule changes noted above, minor related
changes to Rule 102 and Rule 202 are proposed. Environmental Review
Potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed rule
revisions were analyzed in the 2010 Clean Air Plan Environmental Impact
Report (2010 CAP EIR). District staff will evaluate whether any
additional environmental impacts may result from the proposed rule
revisions as the project moves forward, and will conduct additional
environmental review as necessary.
Document Availability
The District has prepared individual proposed amended rules and a
Background Paper. The Background Paper’s Appendices A - F includes the
proposed amended rules. These documents may be downloaded from this
page. Hard copies will be made available upon request.
