... Out of 36 agencies, only 4 have regulations that require controls: Bay Area Air Quality Management District, California; Florida Department of Environmental Regulation; State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources; and Wayne County Department of Health operating under Michigan state regulations. However, Florida and Wayne County apparently have no facilities to which the rules currently apply.

... South Coast Air Quality Management District Control of hydrocarbon emissions from ships or barges has been required as part of its New Source Review (NSR) program.

... Florida State rules governing hydrocarbon emissions from these sources are described in rule 17-2.620, General Pollutant Emission Limiting Standards, as follows: (1) Volatile organic compounds emissions or organic solvents emissions.

... if the loading facility is located in a designated area, or equipped with a submerged fill pipe if it is located in any other area of the state. Rule 609 requires that, for loading of any organic compound with a true vapor pressure of more than 1.5 psia into any existing delivery vessels at loading facilities handling 5 million or more gallons per year, the delivery vessel must be controlled with a vapor recovery system (emissions not to exceed 0.7 pounds per 1,000 gallons loaded)

... A study of vessel emissions control has recently been completed by the legislatively mandated Clean Air Study Committee. The committee has recommended that the Texas legislature adopt a resolution to Congress supporting national control should the results of the current National Research Council study indicated that such control is feasible and advisable.

... Le OUTS lalla Programs such as offsets in urban nonattainment areas, prevention of significant deterioration, and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants may require reductions beyond the current regulations. A company in Louisiana had to control its liquid transfer for ships and barges for acrylonitrile (a hazardous air pollutant)
