Subject: Draft Rule 364, Refinery Fenceline and Community Air Monitoring
General Project Description: Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) will hold a public workshop at the time and location listed above to discuss a new draft rule, Rule 364. The draft rule requires all petroleum refineries within the District to install and maintain a fenceline monitoring network that can measure various criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants that are emitted from the refinery. The rule also requires the District to install and maintain a community air monitoring system to measure the refinery-related pollutants in the nearby community. The rule will satisfy the new requirements in California Health and Safety Code, consistent with Assembly Bill 1647 (2017-2018).
Who is Affected? Any owner or operator of a petroleum refinery that is located within the District.
Document Availability: Copies of the draft rule are available for review from the District’s website, www.ourair.org/rules-under-development. Hard copies are available for review at the District offices.
