Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for Proposed Rule 1144 - Lubricants and Rust Inhibitors

Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for Proposed Rule 1144 - Lubricants and Rust Inhibitors

The objective of PR 1144 is to implement the 2007 AQMP control measure CTS-01 - Emission Reductions from Lubricants, to further reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from regulated lubricants. PR 1144 would establish a VOC content limit of 25 grams per liter of material for lubricants and rust inhibitors effective Jan. 1, 2010; prohibit the sale of non-compliant lubricants and rust inhibitors not subject to CARB's consumer projects regulation; allow lubricants and rust inhibitors manufactured prior to Jan, 1 2010 to be sold or applied until Jan, 1 2010; and require containers for lubricants and rust inhibitors to display the date of manufacture and VOC content as supplied and after recommended dilution. The proposed rule would affect metal working operations who use lubricants and rust inhibitors during manufacturing and assembly operations.
