District Participants: Inspection, Compliance & Operations, Permits, Source Test

Outside Participants: EPA, ARB, Industry, the Public

Scope

BAAQMD Regulation 8, Rule 44 and Rule 46, currently require controls for loading of specified cargoes such as gasoline, gasoline blending stocks, aviation gas, JP-4 aviation fuel, and crude oil. This measure will identify current emissions and emissions controls, and compliance. The measure will determine if further emissions reductions are feasible by enhancing enforcement, requiring additional controls, and/or by expanding the rule to currently exempt cargoes. In addition, emissions from housekeeping operations such as ballasting, purging, and gas freeing will be examined.
