Air Toxics

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has promulgated Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCMs) for several source categories. Each ATCM is codified under Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations and is available on the ARB website http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/atcm/atcm.htm.

When the state adopts an ATCM, the APCD can either implement the state ATCM or adopt a local rule consistent with the ATCM. The following table shows the rules the District has adopted for corresponding ATCMs.

APCD RULE No.	APCD RULE TITLE	STATE AIR TOXICS CONTROL MEASURE
316	Storage and Transfer of Gasoline	Benzene Airborne Toxic Control Measure For Retail Service Stations
335	Control of Hexavalent Chromium in Cooling Towers	Chromate Treated Cooling Towers
340	Control of Dioxins from Medical Waste Incinerators	Dioxins Airborne Toxic Control Measure - Medical Waste Incinerators

334	Control of Hexavalent Chromium Emissions from Chrome Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing	Hexavalent Chromium Airborne Toxic Control Measure, Decorative And Hard Chrome Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing Facilities

APCD has elected to implement several state ATCMs directly without adopting a rule.
