Item 28. | Docket No. 2000-0085-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing on, the following proposed new, amended, and repealed sections of 30 TAC Chapter 114, Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles, Subchapter H, Low Emission Fuels, Division 1, Gasoline Volatility; and corresponding revisions to the State Implementation Plan: | |
Section 114.301 - Control Requirements for Reid Vapor Pressure (amended) | ||
Section 114.302 - Control Requirements for Sulfur (repealed) | ||
Section 114.304 - Registration of Gasoline Producers and Importers (new) | ||
Section 114.305 - Approved Test Methods (amended) | ||

These proposed revisions will require volatility controls on gasoline in the 95-county area with no increase in the use of methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether by producers to meet the volatility requirements. The proposed revisions also remove the obsolete sulfur requirements, require registration by gasoline producers and importers, and enhance the enforcement mechanisms.

Item 31. | Docket No. 2000-0036-RUL. Consideration for publication of, and hearing upon, proposed amendments to 30 TAC Chapter 113, Subchapter C, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories, Sections 113.100, 113.110, 113.120, 113.130, 113.180, 113.190, 113.200, 113.240, 113.250, 113.260, 113.290,113.350, 113.360, 113.460, 113.470, 113.480, 113.490, 113.530, 113.620, and 113.670; and proposed new Sections 113.320, 113.330, 113.390, 113.500, 113.510, 113.520, 113.540,113.560, 113.600, 113.610, 113.650, 113.690, 113.700, 113.710, 113.720, 113.730, 113.770, 113.790 and 113.810. The proposed rules would incorporate by reference changes that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made to certain Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards that the commission has previously adopted and would incorporate by reference 19 new federal MACT standards for the control of hazardous air pollutant emissions from specific source categories. MACT standards are found in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 63. | |
Previously adopted MACT standards that EPA has amended are: General Provisions, Subpart A; Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry, Subpart F; Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents, Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater, Subpart G; Organic HAP for Equipment Leaks, Subpart H; Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities, Subpart M; Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks, Subpart N; Ethylene Oxide Commercial Sterilization and Fumigation Operations, Subpart O; Pulp and Paper Production, Subpart S; Halogenated Solvent Cleaning, Subpart T; Group I Polymers and Resins, Subpart U; Secondary Lead Smelting, Subpart X; Off-site Waste Recovery, Subpart DD; Magnetic Tape Manufacturing, Subpart EE; Tanks - Level 1, Subpart OO; Containers, Subpart PP; Surface Impoundments, Subpart QQ; Individual Drain Systems, Subpart RR; Oil Water Separators & Organic-Water Separators, Subpart VV; Hazardous Waste Combustors, Subpart EEE; and, Group IV Polymers and Resins, Subpart JJJ. | ||
Sections 113.110, 113.120, and 113.130 are part of the Hazardous Organic National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants or Hazardous Organic NESHAPS (HON). The HON was adopted as a control measure in the ozone nonattainment areas in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and, therefore, the amendments to these subparts will be considered a revision to the SIP. | ||
The 19 new federal MACT standards are: Phosphoric Acid, Subpart AA; Phospate Fertilizers, Subpart BB; Oil & Natural Gas Production, Subpart HH; Closed Vent Systems, Control Devices, Recovery Devices, and Routing to Fuel Gas System or Process, Subpart SS; Equipment Leaks - Control Level 1, Subpart TT; Equipment Leaks - Control Level 2, Subpart UU; Storage Vessels - (Tanks) Control Level 2, Subpart WW; Generic MACT+, Subpart YY; Steel Pickling - HCL Process, Subpart CCC; Mineral Wool Production, Subpart DDD; Natural Gas Transmission and Storage, Subpart HHH; Portland Cement Manufacturing, Subpart LLL; Pesticide Active Ingredient Productions, Subpart MMM; Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing, Subpart NNN; Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins, Subpart OOO; Polyether Polyols Production, Subpart PPP; Primary Lead Smelting, Subpart TTT; Publically Owned Treatment Works, Subpart VVV; and, Ferroalloys Productions, Subpart XXX. | ||
MACT standards are applicable statewide to major and a limited number of non-major or area sources which emit any of EPA-designated 188 hazardous air pollutants. The level of control is based on the maximum level of control achieved in practice within the industry. The staff also requests approval to seek formal delegation from EPA for the 19 new MACT standards. (Kathy Ramirez / Steve Hagle) (Rule Log No. 99082-113-AI). | ||

Item 37. | Docket No. 1999-1508-AIR. Consideration of hearing requests, comments and responses to comments submitted relating to Valero Refining Company - Texas' application to amend Air Quality Permit Nos. 39142 and PSD-TX-822M2. Amendment of Permit No. 39142 will allow Valero to convert several authorizations into a flexible permit for continued operation of its petroleum refiner in Texas City, Galveston County, Texas. In addition to converting its Air Quality Permit No. 39142 into a flexible permit, the application seeks to authorize construction of a new cooling tower, six new heaters, and additional piping. The proposed changes involved with the construction project trigger Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) for CO. As a result, Permit No. PSD-TX-822M2 is also being amended to reflect the triggering of PSD associated with this application. The Commission will consider the application, the hearing requests and related comments and responses to comments filed on the application. (Lisa McClain, John Vermillion) |
