District Rules and Regulations

LIST OF REGULATORY MEASURES SCHEDULED FOR CONSIDERATION DURING 2023

Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 40923, each air district with a state approved air quality attainment plan shall publish a list of regulatory measures scheduled or tentatively scheduled for consideration for that year.

During 2023, the Governing Board of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) may consider amending the rules listed below. Rules not adopted or amended by the Governing Board in 2023 may be adopted in subsequent years. The District Governing Board may also consider adopting or amending other rules, as required to comply with local, state or federal requirements, or to address technical issues that may arise.

  • Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review). Potential amendments to comply with the federal new source review requirements and address EPA’s proposed limited approval / limited disapproval of the 2019 version of the Rule.
  • Rule 2301 (Emission Reduction Credit Banking). Potential amendments to administrative mechanisms, definitions, and procedures and removal of banking for new greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
  • Rule 3170 (Federally Mandated Ozone Nonattainment Fee). Potential amendments to include Clean Air Act Section 185 fees for the federal 1997, 2008, and 2015 8-hour ozone standards.
  • Rule 4401 (Steam-Enhanced Crude Oil Production Wells). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate potential emission reductions of VOC emissions to the extent that such controls are technologically and economically feasible.
  • Rule 4402 (Crude Oil Production Sumps). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate opportunities for a potentially more stringent definition of clean produced water to determine the maximum degree of VOC emission reductions achievable, taking into account environmental, energy and economic impacts by each class or category of source.
  • Rule 4409 (Components at Light Crude Oil Production Facilities, Natural Gas Production Facilities, and Natural Gas Processing Facilities). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate potential emission reductions of VOC emissions to the extent that such controls are technologically and economically feasible.
  • Rule 4455 (Components at Petroleum Refineries, Gas Liquids Processing Facilities and Chemical Plants). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate potential emission reductions of VOC emissions to the extent that such controls are technologically and economically feasible.
  • Rule 4623 (Storage of Organic Liquids). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate potential emission reductions of VOC emissions to the extent that such controls are technologically and economically feasible.
  • Rule 4624 (Transfer of Organic Liquid). Potential amendments will satisfy requirements of the District’s expedited BARCT review schedule under AB 617 to evaluate potential emission reductions of VOC emissions to the extent that such controls are technologically and economically feasible.
  • Rule 4550 (Conservation Management Practices). Potential amendments will satisfy commitments in the 2018 PM2.5 Plan to evaluate potential emission reductions of PM2.5 from agricultural operations, to the extent that further controls and/or work practices are technologically and economically feasible.

Prior to adopting or amending any rule, a notice is published in selected San Joaquin Valley newspapers and the District Governing Board accepts testimony at a public hearing. Copies of any proposed rules would be available via mail subscription at the District, at the District's website here when the rule is developed, and via email using the District’s email list located here. Information on District rule development is available from District staff at (559)230-6100.
