Item Text

8. AQ-2022-005-RULE 311 (PARTICULATE MATTER FROM PROCESS INDUSTRIES) Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to solicit comments on the proposed rescission of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 311 (Particulate Matter from Process Industries) and the associated proposed rescission from the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed rescission of the rule and to approve submission of the rule rescission as a revision to the Arizona SIP. The purpose of Rule 311 is to limit the discharge of particulate matter into the atmosphere by establishing emission rates based on process weight. It was originally adopted on July 13, 1988, and the most current version was adopted in 2003. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is proposing to rescind Rule 311 because it is an obsolete rule. Any sources currently in, or planning to locate in Maricopa County with particulate matter emissions are, or will be regulated under other existing particulate matter rules. (C-85-23-046-X-00)
