123. AQ-2025-002-RULE 352 GASOLINE CARGO TANK TESTING AND USE Set a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), for October 1, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. to solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 352 (Gasoline Cargo Tank Testing and Use) and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed amendments to the rule and to approve submission of the amended rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP. Rule 352 limits volatile organic compound emissions from gasoline cargo tanks. The rule applies to any gasoline cargo tank which is used to load or unload gasoline within Maricopa County, and to all persons who own, operate, maintain, repair, or test such gasoline cargo tank. The rule was adopted in 1988 and has been revised five times thereafter. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise Rule 352 to address two rule deficiencies identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to secure full approval of Rule 352 as a revision to the Arizona SIP. On November 8, 2024, the EPA published a proposed limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 352 in the Federal Register. The proposed action identified two deficiencies in the rule that prevented the rule from being approved into the SIP. On January 10, 2025, the limited approval and limited disapproval was finalized with an effective date of February 10, 2025. Upon adoption of the proposed rule revisions, MCAQD will submit the revised rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP. (C-85-26-004-X-00)
