TITLE 326 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Proposed Rule
LSA Document #06-603
DIGEST
Date of First Hearing: October 1, 2008.
IC 13-14-9-4.5 states that a board may not adopt a rule under
IC 13-14-9 that is substantively different from the draft rule published under
IC 13-14-9-4 until the board has conducted a third comment period that is at least 21 days long.
Because this proposed rule is not substantively different from the draft rule published on July 16, 2008, at
20080716-IR-326060603SNA, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is not requesting additional comment on this proposed rule.
SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE SECOND COMMENT PERIOD
IDEM requested public comment from July 16, 2008, through August 15, 2008, on IDEM's draft rule language. IDEM received comments from the following parties:
Improving Kids' Environment (IKE)
Following is a summary of the comments received and IDEM's responses thereto:
Comment: Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from automobile refinishing operations contribute to ozone formation and can include air toxics. IKE is a not for profit organization based in Central Indiana that seeks to reduce environmental threats to children's health, including air pollution.
IKE is fully supportive of IDEM's proposal to extend the existing requirements for automobile refinishers that are now effective in only four counties to the rest of the state. The current rule is a great example of pollution prevention, because it results in lower emissions of VOCs and air toxics, thus improving air quality and saving companies money and materials. The work practice and equipment standards required by this rule represent current best practices for these types of operation, are already in use by many companies, and therefore should not impose an undue burden on the businesses affected. Because ozone is a regional pollutant and because reducing air toxics where ever they are emitted is beneficial to public health, it is prudent to require these work practices throughout the state and thereby provide greater health protection for Indiana residents. (IKE)
Response: IDEM is cognizant of the importance in addressing the ozone issue from a regional perspective. Extending the automobile refinishing rules to all Indiana counties will contribute to a regional control of VOCs that will assist many counties in their efforts to reach and maintain attainment for the 8-hour ozone standard.
SUMMARY/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE FIRST PUBLIC HEARING
On October 1, 2008, the Air Pollution Control Board (board) conducted the first public hearing/board meeting concerning the development of amendments to
326 IAC 8-10 and repeal of
326 IAC 8-10-8.
No comments were made at the first hearing.
