• District Rules 4601, 4603, 4604, 4653, and 4663
    Coatings and Solvents Rules

Summary of Rule Amendment Efforts

District Rules 4601 (Architectural Coatings), 4603 (Surface Coating of Metal Parts and Products, Plastic Parts and Products, and Pleasure Crafts), 4604 (Can and Coil Coating Operations), 4653 (Adhesives and Sealants), and 4663 (Organic Solvent Cleaning, Storage, and Disposal) were last amended between September 20, 2007, and April 16, 2020.  The purpose of these rules is to limit Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from organic solvent cleaning, storage and disposal of solvents, and waste solvent materials associated with coating operations.  

On April 25, 2024, the District adopted the Ozone Contingency Measure State Implementation Plan Revision for the 2008 and 2015 8-Hour Ozone Standards, which included commitments to implement a contingency measure for several identified coating categories and VOC contents.  The proposed contingency measures adopted by the District will become adopted and potentially implemented at a later date if contingency measures are triggered.
