The commission proposes to amend Chapter 115, Subchapter B, Division 1, Storage of Volatile Organic Compounds, to require a more stringent level of control for volatile organic compounds (VOC) storage in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. In addition, the proposed rulemaking would clarify rule requirements and allow for the use of alternative control options for affected owners or operators in the following areas: Houston-Galveston-Brazoria 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area, Beaumont-Port Arthur area, and in Aransas, Bexar, Calhoun, El Paso, Gregg, Matagorda, Nueces, San Patricio, Travis, and Victoria Counties. (Rule Project Number 2010-025-115-EN)
The proposed amendments to Chapter 115, Subchapter E, Solvent-Using Processes, would implement reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for the following eight Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) emission source categories: Flexible Packaging Printing Materials; Industrial Cleaning Solvents; Large Appliance Coatings; Metal Furniture Coatings; Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; Auto and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings; Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives; and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings. (Rule Project Number 2010-016-115-EN)
The proposed DFW attainment demonstration SIP revision contains Federal Clean Air Act-required SIP elements, including a photochemical modeling analysis, a weight of evidence analysis, a RACT analysis, a reasonably available control measures analysis, a motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEB) for 2012, and a contingency plan. This revision includes concurrent rulemakings to update control requirements for certain coatings operations to meet recommended RACT requirements in CTG documents issued by the EPA and VOC storage tank rule revisions to update existing and new control measures for the DFW area. (SIP Project Number 2010-022-SIP-NR)
The proposed DFW RFP SIP revision contains an analysis of the DFW area’s progress toward attainment of the 1997 eight-hour ozone standard. RFP requirements include annual incremental reductions in ozone precursor emissions (nitrogen oxides and VOC) out to an area’s attainment year, reductions in ozone precursor emissions as contingency measures for designated milestone years and for the attainment year, and updated RFP MVEB for an area’s milestone years. This proposed SIP revision would incorporate a concurrently proposed revision to Chapter 115 that would reduce VOC emissions from affected sources in the DFW area.
