Purpose and Reason:


The Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), Office of Air Resources (OAR), is proposing to amend 250-RICR-120-05-19 “Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Coating Operations” (Part 19).  Part 19 limits volatile organic compound emissions from various surface coating operations.Part 19 is being amended to add definitions for clarification and to make corrections to definitions that were unintentionally overlooked during the amendments to the rule in 2019.

Additionally, the General Requirements section of the rule is being amended for further clarification. Specifically, Section 19.14 has been added to remind the facility that they will be subject to Part 29 if they reach these thresholds and/or subject to 250-RICR-120-05-9 should they install air pollution control equipment This is not a new requirement.

In an effort to make the rule easier to understand for the user portions of the regulation that no longer apply are being eliminated from the regulation.
