                                                  REGULATIONS


The User's Guide is intended to help persons understand the content and format of District Rules and Regulations.
The District will issue new editions of the User's Guide from time to time, when warranted by additions and other
changes. This document does not receive the specific approval of the Board of Directors and should not be
considered to be part of the District regulatory structure.

                                                        *****

The section numbering format is consistent throughout all regulations. The first digit represents the regulation
number, followed by a dash (-), and the last 3 digits represent the section number of the regulation (e.g., 3-200
indicates Regulation 3, Section 200). Those regulations subdivided into rules have a middle digit representing the
rule number (e.g., 8-3-300 indicates Regulation 8, Rule 3, Section 300).

In order to facilitate use of the regulations, the section numbers will designate the same subjects in each
regulation as follows:

     100 series - General
     200 series - Definitions
     300 series - Standards
     400 series - Administrative Requirements
     500 series - Monitoring and Records
     600 series - Manual of Procedures references

Not all the above series are applicable to every rule and regulation, so the relevant series numbers will not be used
in those cases. When a series is not applicable, the series number will appear in the index for that rule or
regulation followed by the words "Not Included". However, other regulations and/or rules may include pertinent
provisions, exemptions and requirements.

The Manual of Procedures includes laboratory analytical procedures and other technical information which will be
used to determine compliance with the District's Rules and Regulations. Where indicated, references are to
District Regulations (i.e., Ref. Reg. 4-400). Following is a list of the contents of the Manual of Procedures:

    Volume l     -   Enforcement Procedures
    Volume ll    -   Engineering Permitting Procedures
    Volume lll   -   Laboratory Policy and Procedures
    Volume lV    -   Source Test Policy and Procedures
    Volume V     -   Continuous Emission Monitoring Policy and Procedures
    Volume Vl    -   Air Monitoring Procedures
    Volume Vll   -   Guidelines for Environmental Processes under the California Environmental Quality Act
