DAR File No.: 42644
Filed: 03/08/2018 11:08:11 AMNOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
This rule was enacted under Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a). Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) authorizes the Air Quality Board to promulgate rules "regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air pollutants that may be emitted by an air pollutant source." Rule R307-208 reduces PM2.5 emissions emitted from outdoor wood boilers by banning sales of outdoor wood boilers in PM nonattainment and maintenance areas, and restricting sales of outdoor wood boilers in attainment areas to EPA Phase 2 qualified units or wood pellet boilers with automatic feed.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
There have been no comments in opposition to or in support of this rule since adoption.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Rule R307-208 has not been amended since adoption. Rule R307-208 is needed to prohibit sales of outdoor wood boilers in PM nonattainment and maintenance areas, helping the state attain the PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Additionally, the rule minimizes the emission of PM2.5 from existing outdoor wood boilers. Rule R307-208 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan (SIP), and cannot be removed from the SIP without EPA approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
