Regulation I defines the functions and governance of the <br />Agency, classifies registered air contaminant sources which may contribute to air pollution, and <br />provides permitting and variance information for these sources. <br />Regulation II was developed to address the need to reduce ozone concentrations as required by <br />amendments to the Federal Clean Air Act. It controls photochemically reactive volatile organic <br />compounds (VOCs), which are precursors to ozone, to meet the National Ambient Air Quality <br />Standard for ozone. <br />Regulation III is potentially relevant to certain actions at the Everett Landfill. Regulation III <br />focuses on toxic air pollutants including those emitted by landfills. Regulation III requires new <br />sources, and in some cases existing sources, to demonstrate that the emissions from the <br />source do not cause or contribute concentrations of toxic air pollutants at levels that could pose <br />a threat to human health or welfare. PSCAA uses Acceptable Source Impact Levels (ASILs) for <br />specific air toxics, which are provided in the regulations as screening tools for identifying those <br />cases that deserve more scrutiny. Although developed originally by Ecology solely for <br />evaluation of new projects, PSCAA has adopted ASILs and has discretion to use them to <br />evaluate existing projects as well as new projects. They are used by PSCAA as an initial <br />screening analysis to determine if the impacts of a specific project on air toxic levels deserve <br />further investigation. Sources with ambient contributions below ASIL levels are presumed to be <br />insignificant in terms of health and welfare impacts. Those with impacts above ASILs may be <br />required to conduct a formal risk assessment to determine the impact to health and welfare <br />caused by the contribution of the source to ambient levels of toxic air pollutants. <br />CONTROLS FOR NEW SOURCES OF AIR TOXICS, CHAPTER 70.94 RCW; CHAPTER 173-460 WAC <br />The regulations in Chapter 173-460 WAC, developed pursuant to Chapter 70.94 RCW, <br />establish the systematic control of new sources emitting toxic air pollutants to prevent air <br />pollution, reduce emissions to the extent possible and maintain such levels of air quality as will <br />protect human health and safety. This regulation is a potential ARAR for actions that may <br />create new sources of air toxics. This regulation is implemented through PSCAA Regulation III. <br />AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER, CHAPTER 70.94 RCW; <br />CHAPTER 173-470 WAC <br />The regulations in Chapter 173-470 WAC, which were developed pursuant to Chapter 70.94 <br />RCW, establish maximum acceptable levels for particulate matter in the ambient air. <br />WASHINGTON DANGEROUS WASTE REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 70.105 RCW; <br />CHAPTER 173-303 WAC <br />The regulations found in Chapter 173-303 WAC were developed to implement Chapter 70.105 <br />RCW and are based on the state's authority to administer the Resource Conservation and <br />Recovery Act (RCRA). The Dangerous Waste Regulations provide criteria for determining if <br />solid wastes are dangerous or extremely hazardous. These regulations also provide rules that <br />apply to the generators of hazardous substances and the treatment, manifesting, transporting, <br />11 <br />Page 7 of 10 Attachment CAP-1 <br />
