Proposed Amended Rule 1106 - Marine Coating Operations and Rescission of Rule 1106.1 - Pleasure Craft Coating Operations

Proposed Amended Rule 1106 - Marine Coating Operations and Rescission of Rule 1106.1 - Pleasure Craft Coating Operations

PAR 1106 would subsume Rule 1106.1 within Rule 1106, add a prohibition of possession and sale provision, add transfer efficiency requirements (similar to other SCAQMD coatings rules), and include administrative changes. Additionally, five new coating categories have been established, and the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) limits for five specialty coatings categories are being lowered based on existing limits that several other air agencies already require (Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, San Diego Air Pollution Control District, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District) and to align limits with US EPA Control Techniques Guidelines for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Operations (Surface Coatings). Since affected facilities are already expected to be in compliance with the proposed requirements, no physical changes are expected to take place and no additional VOC reductions are expected because the lower VOC limits are already being met. The environmental analysis in the Draft EA concluded that this proposed project would not generate any significant adverse environmental impacts.
