Section 41754 Of Article 1.5. Portable Equipment From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 1.5.
41754
. (a) The regulations adopted by the state board, on or before
July 1, 1997, shall include, but need not be limited to, provisions
that ensure all of the following:
(1) That emissions from portable equipment subject to the
statewide registration program will not, in the aggregate, interfere
with the attainment or maintenance of state or federal ambient air
quality standards and the emissions from any one portable equipment
engine, exclusive of background concentration, shall not cause an
exceedance of any ambient air quality standard. This paragraph shall
not be construed as requiring portable equipment operators to provide
emission offsets for portable equipment registered under the
program.
(2) (A) That, to the extent not in conflict with federal law, the
registration program preserves the most stringent requirements
adopted by a district which require the use of best available control
technology (BACT) for each class or category of portable equipment
determined appropriate by the state board, and which requirements
were in effect on January 1, 1995. In determining the appropriate
emission limits or emission control technology requirements for
classes and categories of portable equipment, the state board may set
different requirements for portable equipment that is defined by the
state board as California resident portable equipment.
(B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A) and, to the extent not in
conflict with federal law, the state board may consider technical and
economic feasibility in establishing emission limits or control
equipment requirements for any category or class of existing
California resident portable equipment, if all portable equipment in
that category or class is required to be modified or replaced to meet
BACT or the more stringent of a state or federal emission standard,
at a date determined by the state board.
(3) That any registered portable equipment, including any turbine,
used by the Department of Defense or the National Guard exclusively
for military technical support or other federal emergency purposes,
as specified in the regulations adopted by the state board, is not
subject to any statewide or district emission control or emission
limit.
(b) No emission limit or emission control requirement shall be
established for any portable equipment defined by the state board as
California resident portable equipment unless the state board
determines that the emission limit or emission control requirement is
technologically and economically feasible and is necessary to carry
out the express terms of this division, including, but not limited
to, Section 43013, or to attain or maintain state or federal ambient
air quality standards.
(c) Prior to adopting any emission limit or emission control
requirement, the state board shall consider the magnitude of the
resultant air quality benefits and the potential effects of the
regulation on the costs to businesses that use the portable
equipment.
(d) The emission limits established for any portable equipment or
class of portable equipment shall reflect the effectiveness of all
control equipment installed and operated on the portable equipment or
particular class of portable equipment.
(e) No emission limits other than those established by the state
board for any portable equipment or class of portable equipment shall
be used by a district for purposes of calculating and reporting
emissions from portable equipment subject to this article.
(f) Any recordkeeping and reporting requirements prescribed by the
state board for the purpose of tracking portable equipment
utilization and movement shall be the minimum that is necessary to
provide sufficient emission inventory data and allow adequate
enforcement of the registration program.
(g) Source testing of portable equipment emissions for
registration purposes shall not be required if there is no emission
standard applicable to portable equipment, or if acceptable emissions
data is available. For purposes of this subdivision, "acceptable
emissions data" means emissions data representative of current
portable equipment operations that is either reliable emissions data
from the portable equipment manufacturer or a source test performed
within three years prior to the date that the emissions data is
requested.
