Rule Development
Rules 71.3 (Transfer of Reactive Organic Compound Liquids), 74.15 (Boilers, Steam Generators and Process Heaters), and 74.23 (Stationary Gas Turbines)
On September 24, 2024, the Ventura County Air Pollution Control Board adopted amendments to Rule 71.3, Transfer of Reactive Organic Compound Liquids; Rule 74.15, Boilers, Steam Generators, and Process Heaters; and Rule 74.23, Stationary Gas Turbines. The adopted amendments to Rules 71.3, 74.15, and 74.23 were in response to United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) comments received on November 16, 2023. The EPA identified deficiencies in Rules 71.3, 74.15, and 74.23 in its review of the Ventura County portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The proposed amendments address the deficiencies related to the USEPA’s startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) requirements (80 FR 33840) and recordkeeping and reporting requirements (81 FR 89188).
