The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is processing a regulatory action for Chemtrade West US LLC under Application 710209 to revise its Permit to Operate and establish exemption determinations. The scope of this action is strictly administrative and ministerial, involving the issuance of exemption determinations for Sources 2, 5, 11, 20, 28, 29, 30, and 31 per Air District Regulation 2, Rule 1, Section 123.2.1. Additionally, the action includes updated descriptions for Sources 1, 3, 10, 13, 16, 32 and Abatement Device 5, along with revisions to existing permit conditions 2051, 13215, and 20580. Because the proposed changes do not involve physical modifications to equipment or alterations in operational methods, the action is deemed ministerial under District Regulation 2-1-428 and is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(1) and CEQA Guidelines section 15378. The place of performance and inspection is located at 525 Castro Street, Richmond, California. This regulatory process is managed by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and does not follow a standard federal procurement structure, as it contains no pricing, competitive bidding, or FAR-based contract clauses.
