Adoption of Amended Rule 901, New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) and
Adoption of a “Negative Declaration In Lieu
of Rules”
Project Description
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District)
proposes to update Rule 901, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), to
make it current. The District is also finalizing a “Negative
Declaration In Lieu of Rules” for certain federal emission guidelines
because there are no sources in our area subject to them.
Sources Potentially Affected
No sources will be affected by the adoption of the revised Rule 901 or
the “Negative Declaration in Lieu of Rules.” Public
Comment
The District is soliciting comments on these projects. You may submit
written comments to the project manager identified below prior to the
close of the public comment period on August 23, 2010 at 5 p.m.
Project Details
The District is revising Rule 901 to incorporate by reference all of the
federal 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 60, Standards of
Performance for New Stationary Sources. 40 CFR Part 60 requirements
apply to sources regardless of whether they are listed in District Rule
901. After the Board approves the Rule 901 update, the District will
request delegation of authority from the U.S.EPA to implement and
enforce the applicable NSPS.
40 CFR, Part 60, also includes
standards of performance for certain existing sources that would be
subject to a new source performance standard if such sources were new
sources. These standards of performance are referred to as “Emission
Guidelines” (Guidelines). The District is unaware of any sources within
its jurisdiction that are subject to the following Guidelines: Subpart
Cb (Large Municipal Waste Combustors), Subpart Cd (Sulfuric Acid
Production Units), Subpart Ce (Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerators), Subpart BBBB (Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units),
Subpart DDDD (Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units),
Subpart FFFF (Other Solid Waste Incineration Units), or Subpart HHHH
(Coal-Fired Electric Steam Generating Units). Once the District adopts
the “Negative Declaration in Lieu of Rules,” staff will submit the
“Negative Declaration in Lieu of Rules” for inclusion in the California
State Plan.
Environmental Review Findings
The District has reviewed the proposed amended Rule 901 and the
“Negative Declaration in Lieu of Rules” and determined that their
adoption has no potential for significant environmental effect pursuant
to § 15300 and § 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines. The District will file
Notices of Exemption with the County Clerk following their adoptions by
the Air Pollution Control District Board.
Document Availability
