57. RULE REVISIONS TO ADDRESS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR “MODERATE” NONATTAINMENT FOR THE 2008 EIGHT-HOUR OZONE NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARD Pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 49-479(b), set a public hearing for November 2, 2016 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations: Rule 322 (Power Plant Operations), Rule 323 (Fuel Burning Equipment From Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Sources), Rule 324 (Stationary Internal Combustion (IC) Engines), Rule 336 (Surface Coating Operations), Rule 342 (Coating Wood Furniture And Fixtures), Rule 350 (Storage Of Organic Liquids At Bulk Plants And Bulk Terminals), Rule 351 (Loading Of Organic Liquids), Rule 352 (Gasoline Delivery Vessel Testing And Use), Rule 353 (Gasoline In Stationary Dispensing Tanks). The Board is requested to authorize the Maricopa County Air Quality Department to submit the amended rules as a revision to the (Arizona) State Implementation Plan. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective November 2, 2016. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are precursors of ozone. Since Maricopa County has been reclassified to “moderate” nonattainment for the 2008 eight-hour ozone NAAQS, the Clean Air Act requires Maricopa County to implement reasonably available control technology (RACT) to control VOC and NOx emissions. The following six rules are being revised to address RACT for VOCs: AQ-2015-005-Rule 336 (Surface Coating Operations) AQ-2015-006-Rule 342 (Coating Wood Furniture And Fixtures) AQ-2015-008-Rule 350 (Storage Of Organic Liquids At Bulk Plants And Bulk Terminals) AQ-2015-008-Rule 351 (Loading Of Organic Liquids) AQ-2015-008-Rule 352 (Gasoline Delivery Vessel Testing And Use) AQ-2015-008-Rule 353 (Gasoline In Stationary Dispensing Tanks) The following three rules are being revised to address RACT for NOx: AQ-2015-002-Rule 322 (Power Plant Operations) AQ-2015-003-Rule 323 (Fuel Burning Equipment From Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Sources) AQ-2015-004-Rule 324 (Stationary Internal Combustion (IC) Engines) Permit fees are not changing due to this action.
