142. PROPOSED RESCISSION OF AQ-2017-003-RULE 317 (HOSPITAL/MEDICAL/INFECTIOUS WASTE INCINERATORS); AQ-2017-004-RULE 325 (BRICK AND STRUCTURAL CLAY PRODUCTS (BSCP) MANUFACTURING); AQ-2017-005-RULE 334 (RUBBER SPORTS BALL MANUFACTURING);AQ-2017-006-RULE 339 (VEGETABLE OIL EXTRACTION PROCESSES) Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for December 13, 2017 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of proposed rescission of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations Rule 317 (Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators), Rule 325 (Brick and Structural Clay Products (BSCP) Manufacturing), Rule 334 (Rubber Sports Ball Manufacturing) and Rule 339 (Vegetable Oil Extraction Processes) and the associated proposed revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to approve the proposed rescission of Rules 317, 325, 334 and 339 and the proposed rescission of Rules 325, 334 and 339 from the SIP. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective December 13, 2017. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to rescind Rules 317, 325, 334 and 339 and is proposing to rescind Rules 325, 334 and 339 from the SIP. Rule 317 (Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators) Rule 317 was adopted to control emissions of air pollutants from hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerator(s) (HMIWI). There are currently no HMIWI in Maricopa County and the department’s records indicate the last HMIWI permit was closed (source was removed) in 1998. Most hospital/medical/infectious waste is now treated using alternative technologies such as thermal treatment (microwave technologies), steam sterilization (autoclaving) and chemical and mechanical treatment. The department does not anticipate any new HMIWI will locate to Maricopa County. Rule 325 (Brick and Structural Clay Products (BSCP) Manufacturing) Rule 325 was originally adopted on August 10, 2005. The purpose of the rule is to limit particulate matter emissions from the use of tunnel kilns for curing in the brick and structural clay product (BSCP) manufacturing processes. Maricopa County currently has no sources subject to the rule and does not anticipate any new brick or structural clay product manufacturers will locate to Maricopa County. Rule 334 (Rubber Sports Ball Manufacturing) The purpose of the rule is to limit emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from natural and synthetic rubber adhesives used in the manufacture of non-inflatable rubber balls. Only one source has been subject to the rule since it was adopted in 1993 and that source ceased operations in 2009. Due to the uniqueness of this type of manufacturing and the lower costs of labor and raw materials in the Far East, the department does not anticipate any new rubber sports ball manufacturers will locate to Maricopa County. Rule 339 (Vegetable Oil Extraction Processes) Rule 339 was adopted to limit the emissions of VOCs from the extraction of vegetable oil using solvents (hexane). Maricopa County currently has no vegetable oil production facilities subject to the rule and the department’s records indicate the only issued permit was closed (source was removed) in 1999. Since the adoption of Rule 339, hexane, the primary solvent used in vegetable oil extraction processes is now regulated as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP), not as a VOC. In 2001, the EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous pollutants (NESHAP) for the use of hexane in vegetable oil production facilities. The vegetable oil production NESHAP has been incorporated into the county’s air quality regulations through Rule 370 (Federal Hazardous Air Pollution Program); therefore, Rule 339 is obsolete. Permit fees are not changing due to this action. (C-85-18-003-M-00)
