                             INTRODUCTION

     This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977.  The Federally enforceable
regulations contained in the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands).  They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in the Federal
Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
indicated in the Federal 'Register.  Regulations which fall into one of
the above categories as of January 1, 1978, have been incorporated.  As
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually.   State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.

     There have been recent changes in the Federal enforceabi1ity of
parking management regulations and indirect source regulations.  The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing legislation.  Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended indefinitely.  Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act.Amendments, indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP.  Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source regulations contained in an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable.  More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which are specific to Federally
funded,-operated,_.or owne
-------
to the SIP and the date of the Federal Register in which the reyision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA.  Finally, a brief description
or reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.

     This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given regulation.  As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation of those regulations
which ara incorporated directly or by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code Of Federal Regulations.  Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation.  Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this
document does not, in itself, render the regulation enforceable.

                                       -2-

-------
(j)   Process Weight Per Hour.  "Process  Weight"  is  the  total weight of all
      materials introduced into any specific  process which  process may
      cause any discharge into  the  atmosphere.   Solid fuels charged will
      be considered as part of  the  process  weight,  but  liquid and gaseous
      fuels and combustion air  will not.  "The  Process  Weight Per Hour"
      will  be derived by dividing the  total process weight  by the number
      of hours in one complete  operation from the beginning of  any given
      process to the completion thereof,  excluding  any  time during which
      the equipment is idle.

(k)   Dusts. "Dusts" are minute solid  particles  released  into the air by
      natural forces or by mechanical  processes  such as crushing, grinding,
      milling, drilling, demolishing,  shoveling, conveying, covering,
      bagging, sweeping, etc.

(1)   Condensed Fumes. "Condensed Fumes" are  minute solid particles gen-
      erated by the condensation of vapors  from solid matter after volatil-
      ization from the molten  state, or  may be  generated  by sublimation,
      distillation, calcination, or chemical  reaction,  when these processes
      create air-borne particles.

(m) .  Combustion Contaminants.   "Combustion Contaminants" are particulate
      matter discharged into the atmosphere from the  burning of any kind
      of material containing carbon in a free or combined state.

(n)   Atmosphere. "Atmosphere"  means the air  that  envelops or surrounds
      the earth.  Where air pollutants are  emitted into a building  not
      designed specifically as  a piece of air pollution control equipment,
      such emission into the building shall be  considered an  emission  into
      the atmosphere.

(o)   Combustible Refuse. "Combustible Refuse"  is  any solid or  liquid
      combustible waste material containing carbon in a free  or combined
      state.

(p)   Multiple-Chamber Incinerator.  "Multiple-Chamber Incinerator"  is  any
      article, machine, equipment,  contrivance, structure or part of  a
      structure, used to dispose of combustible refuse by burning,
      consisting of three or more  refractory  lined combusion  furnaces  in
      series, physically separated  by refractory walls, interconnected  by
      gas passage ports or ducts and employing adequate design  parameters
      necessary for maximum combustion of the material  to be  burned.   The
      refractories shall have a Pyrometric Cone Equivalent of at least  17,
      tested according to the method described in  the American  Society
      for Testing Materials, Method C-24.

(q)   Oil-Effluent Water Separator.  "Oil-Effluent Water Separator"  is
      any tank, box, sump or other container in which any petroleum or
                                       -3-

-------
              product thereof,  floating  on  or  entrained or contained  in water
              entering such  tank,  box, sump or other container,  is physically
              separated and  removed  from such  water prior to outfall, drainage,
              or recovery of such  water.

(2.0)   RULE 3.   STANDARD CONDITIONS.

        Standard conditions  are a  gas temperature  of 60 degrees  Fahrenheit and
        a gas pressure of 14.7  pounds per square inch  absolute.  Results of all
        analyses and tests shall be  calculated or  reported at this gas temperature
        and pressure.

(15.0)   RULE 4.   AUTHORITY TO ARREST.

        The Air  Pollution Control  Officer and  every officer and  employee of the
        Los Angeles County Air  Pollution Control District designated  by him is

        whenever he has reasonable cause to believe that the person to be arrested
        has committed a misdemeanor  in his  presence which is a violation of
        Chapter  2,  Division  20  of  the Health and Safety Code, or any  provision of
        the Vehicle Code relating  to the emission  or control of  air contaminants,
        or any order, regulation,  or rule adopted  pursuant thereto.   Such authority
        to arrest is granted in accordance  with Penal  Code Section 836.5.

              within  25 feet of the article, machine, equipment, or other con-
              trivance, or maintained readily available at all  times on the
              operating premises.

        (d)   A  person shall not willfully deface, alter, forge, counterfeit, or
              falsify a permit to operate any article, machine, equipment,  or
              other contrivance.

        (f)   Permit  to Sell or Rent.   Any person who sells or rents to another
              person  an incinerator which may be used to dispose of combustible
              refuse  by burning within the  Los Angeles Basin and which incinerator
                                              -5-

-------
              is to be used exclusively in  connection with  any  structure, which
              structure is  designed  for and used  exclusively  as a dwelling for
              not more than four families,  shall  first  obtain a permit from  the
              Air Pollution Control  Officer to  sell  or  rent such incinerator.

        (g)    Permit for Open  Burning.   A person  shall  not  set  or permit any open
              outdoor fire  without first having applied for and been  issued  a
              permit for such  fire by the Air Pollution Control Officer, except
              that an application for burning permit shall  not  be required for
              recreational  fires, ceremonial fires,  or  cooking  fires.

(2.0)    RULE 11.  EXEMPTIONS.

        An authority to construct or a permit to  operate shall  not  be required for:

        (a)    Vehicles as defined by the Vehicle  Code of the  State  of California

        canceled,  or if an  authority to construct or a permit to operate is denied
        and such denial becomes  final,  the filing fee required herein shall not
        be refunded nor applied  to any  subsequent application.

        Where an application is  filed for a permit to operate any article, machine,
        equipment  or other  contrivance  by reason of transfer of location or trans-
        fer from one person to another, or both, and where a permit to operate had
        previously been granted  for  such equipment under Rule 10 and an alteration
        or addition has been made, the  applicant shall be assessed a fee based upon
        the increase in total  horsepower rating, the increase in total fuel con-
        sumption expressed  in  thousands of British Thermal Units (BTU).per hour,
        the increase in total  electrical energy rating, the increase in maximum
        horizontal  inside cross  sectional area or the increase in total stationary
        container  capacity  resulting from such alterations or additions, as
        described  in the  fee schedules  contained herein.  Where the application  is
        for transfer of location and no alteration or addition has been made, the
        applicant  shall pay only a filing fee of $40.

        Where an application is  filed for an authority to construct or a permit  to
        operate exclusively involving revisions to the conditions of an existing
        permit to  operate or involving  alterations or additions resulting in a
        change to  any  existing article, machine, equipment or other contrivance
        holding a  permit  under the provisions of Rule 10 of these Rules and
                                               -16-

Regulations, the applicant shall be assessed a fee based upon the Increase
1n total horsepower rating, the increase in total  fuel  consumption
expressed in thousands of British Thermal  Units (BTU) per hour, the in-
crease in total electrical energy rating,  the increase in maximum
horizontal inside cross sectional area or the increase in total stationary
container capacity resulting from such alterations or additions, as
described in the fee schedules contained herein.  Where there is no change
or is a decrease in such ratings, the applicant shall pay only the amount
of the filing fee required herein.

After the provisions for granting permits as set forth in Chapter 2, Divi-
sion 20, of the Health and Safety Code and the Rules and Regulations have
been complied with, the applicant shall be notified by the Air Pollution
Control Officer, in writing, of the fee to be paid for issuance of the
permit to operate.  Such notice may be given by personal service or by
deposit, postpaid, in the United States mail and shall serve as a tempo-
rary permit to operate for 30 days from the date of personal service or
mailing.  Nonpayment of the fee within this period of time shall result in
the automatic cancellation of the application.

In the event that more than one fee schedule is applicable to a permit to
operate, the governing schedule shall be that which results in the higher
fee.

Where a single permit to operate has been granted under Rule 10 prior to
July 1, 1957, and where the Air Pollution Control Officer would, since that
date, have issued separate or revised permits for each permit unit included
in the original application, the Air Pollution Control Officer may issue
such separate or revised permits without fees.

In the event that a permit to operate is granted by the Hearing Board after
denial by the Air Pollution Control Officer or after the applicant deems
his application denied, the applicant shall pay the fee prescribed in the
following schedules within 30 days after the date of the decision of the
Hearing Board.  Nonpayment of the fee within this period of time shall
result in automatic cancellation of the permit and the application.  Such
a fee shall not be charged for a permit to operate granted by the Hearing
Board for the duration of a variance.

A request for a duplicate permit to operate shall be made in writing to
the Air Pollution Control Officer within 10 days after the destruction,
loss or defacement of a permit to operate.  A fee of $2.00 shall be
charged, except to any state or local governmental agency or public
district, for issuing a duplicate permit to operate.

It is hereby determined that the cost of issuing permits and of inspections
pertaining to such issuance exceeds the fees prescribed.

                                  VII.   EMERGENCIES

         This emergency regulation is  designed to  prevent  the excessive  buildup  of
         air contaminants and to avoid any possiblity of a catastrophe caused by
         toxic concentrations of air contaminants.   Past history  indicates  that  the
         possibility of such a catastrophe is  extremely remote.

         The Air Pollution Control Board deems it  desirable to have  ready an  ade-
         quate plan to prevent such an occurrence, and in  case of the  happening  of
         this unforeseen event, to provide for adequate actions to protect  the
         health of the citizens in the Air Pollution Control  District.

(2.0)     RULE 150.  GENERAL.

         Notwithstanding any other provisions  of these rules  and  regulations,  the
         provisions of this regualtion shall apply to each air basin separately  for
         the control  of emissions of air contaminants during  any  "alert" stage as
         provided herein.

(9.0)     RULE 151.  SAMPLING STATIONS.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall maintain  at  least twelve (12)
         permanently located atmospheric sampling  stations adequately  equipped.
         These sampling stations shall  be continuously maintained at locations
         designated by the Air Pollution Control Officer after consultation with
         the Scientific Committee.  At least ten (10) of these stations  shall  be
         located in the Los Angeles Basin, at  least  one (1) station  shall be
         located in the Upper Santa Clara River Valley Basin  and  at  least one (1)
         station shall be located in the Antelope  Valley'Basin.   The Air Pollution
         Control Officer may maintain  such additional sampling stations  as  may be
         necessary.  These additional  stations may be permanent,  temporary, fixed,
         or mobile ,  and may be activated upon orders of the  Air  Pollution  Control
         Officer.

(9.0)     RULE 152.  AIR SAMPLING.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall establish procedures  whereby ade-
         quate samplings and analyses  of air contaminants  will be taken  at  each  of
         the stations established under Rule 151.

(13.0)    RULE 153.  REPORTS.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall make daily summaries  of the  read-
         ings required by Rule 152. The summaries shall be in such  form as to be
         understandable by the public.   These  summaries shall be  public  records
         and immediately after preparation shall be  filed  at  the  main  office  of
         the Air Pollution Control  District and be  available to  the public,  press,
         radio, television, and other  mass media of  communication.
                                            -58-

-------
(2.0)    RULE 154.   CONTINUING  PROGRAM OF VOLUNTARY COOPERATION.

         Upon the adoption of this  regulation the Air Pollution Control Officer
         shall  inform the public  of ways in which air pollution can be reduced and
         shall  request voluntary  cooperation from all persons in all activities
         which contribute to air  pollution.  Civic groups shall be encouraged to
         undertake campaigns of education and voluntary air pollution reduction in
         their respective communities.  Public officials shall be urged to take
         promptly such steps as may be helpful to reduce air contamination to a
         minimum within the areas of  their authority.  Employers shall be request-
         ed to establish car pools.   Users of automotive vehicles shall be urged
         to keep motors in good condition and to plan routes and schedules which
         will contribute minimum  contamination to critical areas of pollution.  All
         industrial, commercial and business establishments which emit hydrocar-
         bons or the air contaminants named in Rule 156 should critically study
         their operations from  the  standpoint of air contamination and should
         take appropriate action  voluntarily to reduce air pollution.

(2.0)    RULE 154.1   PLANS.

         (a)  If the Air Pollution  Control Officer finds that any industrial, busi-
         ness or commercial establishment or activity emits hydrocarbons or any of
         the contaminants named in  Rule 156, he may give written notice to the
         owner or operator of such  industrial, business or commercial establish-
         ment or activity to submit to the Air Pollution Control Officer plans for
         immediate shutdown or  curtailment, in the event of an air pollution
         emergency,  all of the  sources of hydrocarbons or any of the contaminants
         named in Rule 156, including vehicles owned or operated by such person,
         his agents  or employees in  the scope of the business or operation of
         such establishment or  activity.  Such plans shall include, in addition to
         the other matters set  forth  in this rule, a list of all such sources of
         hydrocarbons and any of  the  contaminants named in Rule 156, and a state-
         ment of the minimum time and the recommended time to effect a complete
         shutdown of each source  in the event of an air pollution emergency.  -Such
         notice may be served in  the  manner prescribed by law for the service of
         summons, or by registered  or certified mail.  Each such person shall, with-
         in sixty (60) days after the receipt of such notice, or within such addi-
         tional time as the Air Pollution Control Officer may specify in writing,
         submit to the Air Pollution  Control Officer the plans and information
         described in-the notice.

         (b)  The Air Pollution Control Officer shall prepare appropriate plans to
         be made effective and  action to be taken in respect to a First or Second
         Alert as follows:
                                            -59-

-------
         In respect to a First Alert, the Air Pollution Control  Officer shall  de-
         velope plans calling for the operation of all  privately ov/ned vehicles
         on a pool basis as may be arranged by persons  and employers of persons
         operating vehicles from home to work and in the business of such employer.

         In respect to a Second Alert, the Control Officer shall prepare a pro-
         gram of action and steps to be taken under the provisions of Rule 158,
         paragraph c.  The general nature of the plans  to be made effective upon a
         Second Alert shall be reported to and subject  to review and approval  by
         the Air Pollution Control Board.

         It shall be the objective of such program to result in  bringing about a
         diminution of air contaminants which occasioned the Second Alert and  to
         prevent any increase thereof in order to protect the health of all persons
         within the air basin affected by the alert.  It shall also be the objective
         of such plans that they may be effective to curtail the operations of
         industrial, business, commercial and other activities within  the basin,
         but without undue interference wtih the operations of public utilities or
         other productive, industrial, business and other activities, which are
         essential to the health and welfare of the community.  It is further
         intended that any said plan of action shall  not jeopardize the. welfare
         of the public or result in irreparable injury  to any means of production
         or distribution.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall further, by cooperative agree-
         ments or in addition to cooperative agreements, prepare plans for action
         in respect to industry, business, tranportation, hospitals, schools and
         other appropriate public and private institutions, and  the public
         generally, to accomplish the purposes of the Second Alert action as set
         forth in Rule 158 d.  The general nature of the plans to be made effective
         upon a Second Alert shall be reported to and subject to review and approval
         by the Air Pollution Control Board.

         All plans and programs of action to make effective the  procedures prescri-
         bed in Rule 158, paragraphs c., and d., shall  be consistent with and
         designed to accomplish the purposes, and shall be subject to the conditions
         and limitations, set forth in said paragraphs  c., and d.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall give,  Or'cause  to be given, wide
         publicity in regard to plans for action to be  applicable under Rule 158,
         paragraphs c., and d., in order that all persons within the district shall
         be able to understand and be prepared to rendec compliance therewith in the
         event of the sounding of a Second Alert.

(8.0)     RULE 155.  DECLARATION OF ALERTS.

         The Air Pollution Control Officer shall declare the appropriate "alert"
         in an air basin whenever the concentration of any air contaminant in that
         air basin has been verified to have reached the concentration set forth in
         Rule 156.  For the purposes of this regulation "verified" means that the
         pertinent measuring instrument has been checked over the ensuing five minute
         period and found to be operating correctly.

         (d)   In  the event  the control measures made effective under paragraph c.
              above prove to be inadequate to control the increase in the concen-
              tration  of air contaminants, the Air Pollution Control Officer, with
              the advice of the Emergency Action Committee and with the concurrence
              of  the Air Pollution Control Board shall take such steps as he may

              operation of  which is necessary for the protection of the health and
              welfare  of the public, if, in the opinion of the Air Pollution Control
              Officer, the  continued operation of such establishment or vehicle
              contributes to the further concentration of any air contaminant,
              the concentration of which caused the declaration of the "alert".

              The Air  Pollution Control Officer, during a Second Alert, shall keep
              the public suitably informed of all significant changes in the concen-
              trations of toxic air contaminants.
