The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to rescind Rule 311. Rule 
311 was originally adopted on July 13, 1988, and the most current version was adopted in 2003. The 
purpose of the rule is to limit the discharge of particulate matter into the atmosphere by establishing 
emission rates based on process weight. MCAQD 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. 
For more information regarding this rulemaking, please refer to the Report to the Board of Supervisors 
attached to this notice and available on the EROP Active Regulatory Process webpage. A copy of the 
SIP submittal will be available at least 30 days prior to the hearing for public inspection at the offices of

The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) complied with all statutory and county 
policies throughout this rulemaking process. Per the Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program 
(EROP) Policy: “In addition to the required staff report, an executive summary of the report 
including an overview of stakeholder input and staff responses will be provided to the Board of 
Supervisors at least one week prior to any Board of Supervisors’ public hearing.” 
Overview of the Report to the Board of Supervisors: 
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. MCAQD 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. 
Rule 311 citations are currently included in many MCAQD permits to provide recordkeeping 
requirements but may be removed and replaced with requirements from other MCAQD rules 
including: Rule 322 (Power Plant Operations) and Rule 323 (Fuel Burning Equipment from 
Industrial/Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Sources) as well as Rule 313 (Incinerators, Burn-Off 
Ovens, and Crematories). 
The rescission of Rule 311 will reduce regulatory burden, remove an obsolete rule, and improve 
clarity for compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and federal hazardous air 
pollutant standards. Upon local rescission, MCAQD will submit a revision to the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to remove Rule 311 from 
the Arizona SIP. 
Overview of Stakeholder Input and Staff Responses: 
MCAQD received one citizen comment expressing opposition to the rulemaking but with no 
written feedback. MCAQD contacted the citizen by phone and provided an explanation of the 
rulemaking and answered questions from the citizen. After learning more about the rulemaking the 
citizen stated they no longer opposed it. MCAQD emailed the citizen to confirm that the citizen no 
longer wished to express opposition to the rulemaking. The email sent to the citizen from MCAQD 
is attached to the Report to the Board of Supervisors.

rulemaking (A.R.S. § 49-471.05(4)):
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. MCAQD 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.
Rule 311 citations are currently included in many MCAQD permits to provide recordkeeping
requirements but may be removed and replaced with requirements from other MCAQD rules
including: Rule 322 (Power Plant Operations) and Rule 323 (Fuel Burning Equipment from
Industrial/Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Sources) as well as Rule 313 (Incinerators, Burn-Off
Ovens, and Crematories).
The rescission of Rule 311 will reduce regulatory burden, remove an obsolete rule, and improve
clarity for compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and federal hazardous
air pollutant standards. Upon local rescission, MCAQD will submit a revision to the Arizona
State Implementation Plan (SIP) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to remove Rule
311 from the Arizona SIP.

An identification of the persons who will be directly affected by, bear the costs of or 
directly benefit from the proposed rulemaking (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(2)). 
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311. The rescission of Rule 311 will reduce 
regulatory burden, remove an obsolete rule, and improve clarity for compliance with the 
National Ambient Air Quality Standards and federal hazardous air pollutant standards.  
A cost benefit analysis of the following: 
(a) The probable costs and benefits to the implementing agency and other agencies 
directly affected by the implementation and enforcement of the proposed 
rulemaking (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(3)(a)). 
This rulemaking does not impose any new compliance burdens on permitted sources or 
introduce additional regulatory requirements; therefore, MCAQD does not anticipate 
this rulemaking will have an economic impact on either MCAQD or any other agency. 
(b) The probable costs and benefits to a political subdivision of this state directly 
affected by the implementation and enforcement of the proposed rulemaking 
(A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(3)(b)).

This rulemaking does not impose any new compliance burdens on permitted sources or 
introduce additional regulatory requirements; therefore, MCAQD does not anticipate 
this rulemaking will have an economic impact on any political subdivision of this state. 
(c) The probable costs and benefits to businesses directly affected by the proposed 
rulemaking, including any anticipated effect on the revenues or payroll 
expenditures of employers who are subject to the proposed rulemaking (A.R.S. § 
41-1055(B)(3)(c)). 
This rulemaking does not impose any new compliance burdens on permitted sources or 
introduce additional regulatory requirements; therefore, MCAQD does not anticipate 
this rulemaking will have an economic impact on any businesses. This rulemaking will 
reduce regulatory burden, remove an obsolete rule, and improve clarity for compliance 
with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and federal hazardous air pollutant 
standards. 
A general description of the probable impact on private and public employment in 
businesses, agencies, and political subdivisions of this state directly affected by the 
proposed rulemaking (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(4)). 
This rulemaking does not impose any new compliance burdens on permitted regulated 
entities or introduce additional regulatory requirements; therefore, MCAQD does not 
anticipate this rulemaking will have an impact on private and public employment for any 
businesses, agencies, or political divisions. 
A statement of the probable impact of the proposed rulemaking on small businesses. 
The statement shall include: 
(a) An identification of the small businesses subject to the proposed rulemaking 
(A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(5)(a)). 
Small businesses subject to Rule 311 previously included woodworking operations as 
Rule 311 provisions were incorporated in the woodworking general permit. MCAQD 
has revised the woodworking general permit to exclude Rule 311 citations as Rule 311 
has been determined to be obsolete and no longer necessary.    
(b) The administrative and other costs required for compliance with the proposed 
rulemaking (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(5)(b)). 
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; there are no costs required for 
compliance. 
(c) A description of the methods that the agency may use to reduce the impact on 
small businesses (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(5)(c)). 
i.
Establish less stringent compliance or reporting requirements in the rule for
small businesses (A.R.S. § 41-1035(1)).
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no new
compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses.
ii. Establish less stringent schedules or deadlines in the rule for compliance or
reporting requirements for small businesses (A.R.S. § 41-1035(2)).

This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no new 
compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses. 
iii. Consolidate or simplify the rule's compliance or reporting requirements for
small businesses (A.R.S. § 41-1035(3)).
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no new
compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses.
iv. Establish performance standards for small businesses to replace design or
operational standards in the rule (A.R.S. § 41-1035(4)).
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no new design
or operational standards for small businesses.
v. Exempt small businesses from any or all requirements of the rule (A.R.S. § 41-
1035(5)).
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no new
requirements on small businesses.
(d) The probable cost and benefit to private persons and consumers who are directly 
affected by the proposed rulemaking (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(5)(d)). 
This rulemaking should not result in any significant costs for private persons and 
consumers. 
A statement of the probable effect on state revenues (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(6)). 
The rulemaking will not impose increased monetary or regulatory costs on other state 
agencies, political subdivisions of this state, persons, or individuals so regulated. Without 
costs to pass through to customers, there is no projected change in consumer purchase 
patterns and, thus, no impact on state revenues from sales taxes. 
A description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the 
purpose of the proposed rulemaking, including the monetizing of the costs and 
benefits for each option and providing the rationale for not using nonselected 
alternatives (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(7)). 
This rulemaking is proposing to rescind Rule 311; therefore, there are no compliance costs 
associated with the rulemaking. 
A description of any data on which a rule is based with a detailed explanation of how 
the data was obtained and why the data is acceptable data (A.R.S. § 41-1055(B)(8)). 
Not applicable. 
7.

The proposed effective date of this rulemaking is April 26, 2023.
8.
Such other matters as are prescribed by statute and that are applicable to the county
or to any specific rule or class of rules (A.R.S. § 49-471.05(8)):
Under A.R.S. § 49-479(C), a county may not adopt a rule or ordinance that is more stringent
than the rules adopted by the Director of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality

(ADEQ) for similar sources unless it demonstrates compliance with the applicable 
requirements of A.R.S. §49-112. 
§ 49-112 County regulation; standards
§ 49-112(A)
When authorized by law, a county may adopt a rule, ordinance or regulation that is more 
stringent than or in addition to a provision of this title or rule adopted by the director or any 
board or commission authorized to adopt rules pursuant to this title if all of the following 
requirements are met: 
1.
The rule, ordinance or regulation is necessary to address a peculiar local condition.
2.
There is credible evidence that the rule, ordinance or regulation is either;
(a) Necessary to prevent a significant threat to public health or the environment that
results from a peculiar local condition and is technically and economically feasible. 
(b) Required under a federal statute or regulation, or authorized pursuant to an 
intergovernmental agreement with the federal government to enforce federal statutes 
or regulations if the county rule, ordinance or regulation is equivalent to federal 
statutes or regulation. 
3.
Any fee or tax adopted under the rule, ordinance or regulation does not exceed the
reasonable costs of the county to issue and administer the permit or plan approval
program.
§ 49-112(B)
When authorized by law, a county may adopt rules, ordinances or regulations in lieu of a 
state program that are as stringent as a provision of this title or rule adopted by the director 
or any board or commission authorized to adopt rules pursuant to this title if the county 
demonstrates that the cost of obtaining permits or other approvals from the county will 
approximately equal or be less than the fee or cost of obtaining similar permits or approvals 
under this title or any rule adopted pursuant to this title. If the state has not adopted a fee or 
tax for similar permits or approvals, the county may adopt a fee when authorized by law in 
the rule, ordinance or regulation that does not exceed the reasonable costs of the county to 
issue and administer that permit or plan approval program. 
The department is in compliance with A.R.S. §§ 49-112(A) and (B). This rulemaking is not 
making the rule more stringent.

Fee Waiver Applications – 15 permit fee waiver approval requests
Robert Stratman 
Fee Waiver Application Summary Sheet and Fee Waiver Staff Report
The department received 15 Permit Fee Waiver applications, and staff determined that all met the criteria 
outlined in the Environmental Health Code. The criteria - an operator of a charitable non-profit establishment 
which operates predominantly for the poor distressed, or underprivileged that may apply to the Board of Health 
for the waiver of a permit. A waiver may be granted only if the operator maintains a current 501 (c)3 tax-exempt 
status and demonstrates that the payment of the said fee will cause a financial hardship. In addition, waiver of 
fees associated with administering and the issuance of food employee certificate may be granted to an operator 
of an establishment who maintains a current 501 (c)3, and the sponsoring school must demonstrate to the 
board of health that said payment would cause financial hardship. The department is asking for the board’s 
approval of the 15 fee waiver applications on the summary sheet as P1-P12 and C1-C3.  
(memo and report summary attached to meeting agenda) 
President MacMillan asked if there was a motion to approve the 15 fee waiver applications presented as P1 
through P12 and C1-C3. A motion was made by Mr. Celley to approve P1 through P12 and C1-C3 fee waiver 
applications and seconded by Dr. Farber. All were in favor, and the motion carried.

Air Quality Department
Greg Verkamp  
Kimberly Butler 
Mr. Verkamp and Ms. Butler presented three rulemakings to the board for approval of the expedited process 
rulemaking. The rulemakings will not make new compliance requirements for sources; they’re not 
expected to have a major impact on sources that the department is regulating, which is why they are 
presenting them for expedited process rulemaking. Notices and Reports for each were previously 
distributed to the board for their review. Each rulemaking requires its own action to be acted on by the 
members of the board. 
AQ-2022-002 - Rule 245 (Continuous Source Emission Monitoring) 
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing to revise Rule 245 to address rule 
approvability issues identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and to replace State 
Implementation Plan Rule 41 (Monitoring) with the revised rule. 
Revisions also include the removal of continuous source emission monitoring requirements for fossil 
fuel-fired steam generators because these requirements are addressed in Rule 322 (Power Plant 
Operations). Rule 245 is applicable to four source types; three are not in the county. The revision is to 
remove the regulation of boilers. The applicability of this rule to the boiler is at the power plants, 
which are regulated under a different rule. Therefore, the revised rule will only be applicable to three 
source types, which do not exist in Maricopa County. The rule is on the books because the Clean Air Act 
requires that you have continuous emissions monitoring for these source types in your state

implementation plan at the federal level, revisions also address EPA concerns. A Stakeholder Workshop 
was held in September, and stakeholders were allowed time to submit comments. 
President MacMillan asked if anyone wanted to approve expedited process rulemaking for AQ-2022-002 - 
Rule 245. Dr. Farber made a motion to approve the expedited rulemaking process, and Mr. Celley seconded 
the motion. All were in favor of the motion. 
AQ-2022-005 - Rule 311 (Particulate Matter from Process Industries) 
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 initially adopted on July 13, 1988, and the 
most current version was adopted in 2003. MCAQD 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. The 
department is looking to rescind the entire rule. 
President MacMillan asked if anyone wanted to approve expedited process rulemaking for AQ-2022-005 - 
Rule 311. Ms. Banahan made a motion to approve the expedited rulemaking process, and Mr. Cassano 
seconded the motion. All were in favor of the motion. 
AQ-2022-007 
Appendix B (Standard Permit Application Form and Filing Instructions) 
MCAQD is proposing to revise Appendix B by removing the filing instructions and standard permit 
application form from the appendix. The revision will include the addition of a statement providing the 
website link to the MCAQD webpage, which includes all current Title V permit application forms and 
instructions. These revisions will make it easier for the application form and instructions to be updated 
in the future without having to go through the rulemaking process. President MacMillan shared some 
comments for the department to consider relating to the application.  
President MacMillan asked if anyone wanted to approve expedited process rulemaking for AQ-2022-007 – 
Appendix B. Mr. Celley made a motion to approve the expedited rulemaking process, and Dr. Farber seconded 
the motion. All were in favor of the motion.

Maricopa County Medical Society
John McElligott 
John McElligott is the Executive Director of the Maricopa County Medical Society. Mr. McElligott presented the 
board with an overview of his background and outlined the Medical Society's history. The Medical Society is the 
oldest Medical Association in the State of Arizona, dating back to 1892 in Frontier Medicine, incorporated in 
1935. Their focus is on the future of trying to create medicine and carving out what the future of medicine will 
look like for health care on the ballot. Their mission is to promote excellence in the quality of care and the 
health of the community while representing members by acting as a strong, collective physician voice. Their 
main audience is physicians practicing physicians. 
The board is comprised of practicing docs for a wide range of medical specialties. They have all sorts of 
employment settings, ethnic and racial backgrounds, as well as social and political perspectives. But where they 
come together is how they want to drive forward on improving healthcare, improving the business climate for 
people who are in private practice, or those who are employed physicians and hospital systems, increasingly, so 
that patient care will continue to improve. There are currently 13,000 physicians practicing in the valley, which is 
rapidly growing.

The Medical Society partners with the county health department by gathering information that often comes 
from other staff, and the county's health departments push that out to physicians. Relevant data is shared by 
the Medical Society. In the last couple of years, the logistics team was a huge help, all of the PPE that the county 
provided or that came from the HHS to the county and then out to the medical study was a godsend. A lot of 
physicians reported back that it helped them to keep their doors open. Gratitude was expressed! 
The Medical Society routinely gets updates on infectious diseases and communicable outbreaks from physicians 
about what’s relevant to their colleagues. Information was published via emails or live updates from the Medical 
Society’s board of physicians. A few documents received were sent out to the Pulse Car Wash and wash cars to 
raise money and let the community know that their physicians want to help the community. Additional 
information was had about community screenings led by a group called the Endocrine Society, a national 
organization. Other activities were shared on behalf of the Medical Society.  
The society publishes a quarterly magazine that was passed around during the meeting. Mr. McElligott thanked 
the board for their time to present.

VI. Disease Update
VII. Future Topic
Ms. Flanagan provided the board with the COVID-19 case updates for Maricopa County. 
COVID-19 Update 
•
Maricopa County case count 1.4 million (as of last week)
•
Daily cased reported around 450 reported per day
•
Majority of the county’s isolates are still matching the BA5 variant
•
Sub variant of BA5 have been reported in the news as BQ.1 BQ1.1, currently Maricopa County is not
testing for those variants or the State, it’s expected to start showing up.
•
More than 188,000 (7%) residents in the county have received their COVID booster shots
•
The County continues to receive calls from individuals interested in getting their booster vaccine, which
is recommended
•
Hospital’s admissions have decreased slightly as of last week
•
Home testing kits are not reported to the county, therefore they are excluded from the case counts
•
Much like the flu, the county does more of a surveillance with COVID, which is why they look at the
hospitalization admissions which is why they look at the percent positivity for those that are done in a
lab for the numbers that are reported.
•
The county is expecting an increase over the coming months, as well as an increase in the flu season this
year
•
The city of Tempe is the only one’s testing water and waste surveillance, however they continue to
report those numbers and those go into the county’s community transmission level.

The county approached ASU in hopes to expand some of conversation in the early stages, to make certain once 
the information received detects a level, the county and act on it. 
Monkeypox 
•
As of Oct. 19, the county has confirmed 430 probable cases
•
203 of those cases were hospitalized
•
Zero deaths have been associated
•
Six people are under investigation
•
7,328 vaccines have been administered
•
Four vendors are on board to provide the vaccine at their clinics
•
Vaccines were offered at a recent Pride event
•
The county continues to target the most outbreak for the at-risk populations
Measles outbreak 
October 23, the county celebrated their second incubation period, or 42 days, without any new cases, officially 
closing out that outbreak in the county, with only 5 cases. The outbreak was linked to the Sudan Ebola virus, 
unfortunately that strain has no vaccines or therapeutics that have been approved for prevention or treatment 
its reported as having 64 cases and 14 are currently active and 25 of those people have recovered, however 
another 25 are deceased. The county continues to work with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the 
CDC. Originally early on, when the outbreak was going on in Uganda, individuals that were returning from 
Uganda were being diverted to just five airports in the US. They've now expanded. They're allowed to come into 
any airport, but local public health authorities are notified when that happens. Maricopa County is responsible 
for monitoring for 21 days, those individuals that returned from those countries, and giving them a risk 
assessment, and monitoring them daily for any no symptoms they start to develop. Unfortunately, in Arizona, 
there are no hospitals that do any screening or treatment for Ebola. The closest is Cedar Sinai in Los Angeles. 
And so, they have to co-ordinate traveled for anyone that’s being monitored the source to develop symptoms, 
to send them to that hospital for no treatment, or even a risk assessment, beyond what the county is able to 
do.  
Right now, they have nine individuals being monitored that have returned. Luckily, all of them are low risk, 
although today the county was notified of two folks that are returning that were health care providers helping 
with this outbreak, so, there'll be at a higher risk level than we've been seeing, but the team will monitor them 
for the 21-day period, making sure they don't develop any symptoms. 
Opioid Settlement 
Ms. Flanagan briefly reported that the county is receiving payment for 18 years. These are the opioid settlement 
payments that are related to the distributor settlement agreement. Public Health is responsible for distributing 
the funds out to the other cities and towns within the county that choose to take their distribution. These 
counties have the option to keep their distribution at Maricopa County, and the county will do the work in those 
communities. Ms. Flanagan is presenting to cities and towns this week to inform them of the plan. The Public 
Health team has been invited to a future meeting to present to the board. An initial payment of 2.4 million was 
received and the second payment was just over 2.3 million although the amounts are subject to change. For the 
life of the agreement, the state of Arizona received about $374 million, a little over 50% will go to local 
governments, the other portion is kept at the state level.  
Hospitalizations and Diseases 
Information was provided relating to hospitalizations rates and childhood diseases. Ms. Flanagan advised the 
board that yes, there have been an increase in respiratory illnesses, more common in children lately, the county 
is seeing higher rates of the spectrum from whooping cough to other respiratory illnesses increases, often 
having to do with lower vaccine rates. Arizona has some of the lowest vaccine rates for no vaccine preventable 
diseases, especially in school aged children, so that’s a contributing factor. The county has also seen increases in

illnesses and respiratory. Relating to the flu season, the fact that the county was masked up contributed to a 
reduction in the numbers reported. So, there is conversations happening at public health at the national level, 
about how it would be appropriate to encourage, especially in schools, to consider encouraging kids to wear 
masks, continue to sanitize hands and wash hands often. The data has shown that it has reduced the spread. A 
brief conversation regarding the Piolo outbreak was had mentioning that Arizona has loose requirements about 
getting children vaccinated.  
Announcements and Current Events 
President/ 
Board Members 
Ms. Banahan proposed discussing students and medical staff testing positive for Marijuana. Counsel advised that 
this topic was not on the agenda for discussion. Ms. Banahan will email Ms. Sampler with her question for 
consideration of a future meeting topic to be added to the agenda. 
Adjournment 
President MacMillan 
There being no further business, Ms. Banahan made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Mr. Celley seconded 
the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 4:37 p.m.

Good morning Danae,
It was good talking to you last Thursday, March 23. Thank you for the opportunity to provide clarification on
Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, Rule 311 (Particulate Matter from Process Industries) and the
purpose of the Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program (EROP) Rulemaking to rescind the rule. 
Our discussion Thursday included an explanation of the Maricopa County Air Quality Department's Active
Regulatory Process website and rulemaking document access as well as the purpose of Rule 311 and the purpose
and anticipated consequences of the proposed rule rescission. 
I would like to confirm per our phone conversation that you no longer want to express opposition to the
rulemaking to rescind the rule. 
Please do not hesitate to respond for further explanation or guidance. 
Thank you,
