Sec 11-874. Control of area sources; rules; industry sectors

A county with a population of more than one million two hundred thousand persons as determined by the most recent United States decennial census that contains a nonattainment area as defined in section 49-401.01 shall develop, implement and enforce rules regulating the emissions from all of the following:

1. Wood coatings industry sector, through the use of technically feasible controls to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds. The rules shall require the reduction of a minimum of twenty-five per cent from the 1990 baseline emissions by November 15, 1995.

2. Commercial bakery industry sector, through the use of technically feasible controls to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds. The rules shall require the reduction of a minimum of thirty per cent from the 1990 baseline emissions by November 15, 1995.

3. Consumer and commercial products industry sector, through changes in the formulation of any product used in the cleaning of automobile windshields that contains a concentration of not more than thirty per cent by weight of volatile organic compounds as an ingredient, a solvent or any other component by November 15, 1995. The rules shall require those reductions to be achieved before the development of control techniques guidance standards developed by the United States environmental protection agency for that industry sector. If the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency finds that area A, as defined in section 49-541, has failed to demonstrate reasonable further progress or has failed to attain the national ambient air quality standards for ozone by the applicable attainment date, the county shall adopt the control techniques guidelines issued by the environmental protection agency for the industry sector.

4. Solvent cleaning operations, including the use of nonaqueous solvents. The regulations may include the use of low vapor pressure organic solvents, reformulated lower volatile organic compound content solvents or low volatile organic compound aqueous material substitutes. The rules adopted pursuant to this paragraph are exempt from the provisions of sections 49-112 and 49-479.
