SECTION 41901-41905

41901. The committee shall include nine members appointed by the
chairman of the state board as follows: three contractors licensed
pursuant to Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of
the Business and Professions Code for sandblasting services, three
members from public entities which contract for such services, and
three members from district boards. The committee shall also include
two public members, one of whom shall be appointed by the Senate
Rules Committee and one by the Speaker of the Assembly.
The committee shall select a chairman from its membership, and he
shall serve at the pleasure of the committee.

41902. In developing the standards, the committee shall take into
consideration the need to reduce air pollution from all sources and
the need to also continue sandblasting operations as a means of
corrosion control. The committee shall examine present sandblasting
procedures and equipment, and determine where improvements can be
made so that the standards reflect the strictest standards that can
be reasonably achieved.

41903. Thirty days after the adoption of air pollution standards
for sandblasting operations, the committee shall adjourn. Thereafter,
it may meet at least once annually upon the call of the chairman of
the committee to review the standards in light of changes in
sandblasting technology.

41904. The standards shall be statewide, and no rule or regulation
of any district that is applicable to sandblasting operations shall
be stricter or less strict than the standards adopted by the state
board pursuant to the recommendations of the committee.

41905. The standards, however, shall not supersede any rule or
regulation of any district governing permanent sandblasting
operations or equipment, which rule or regulation was in effect on
January 1, 1974.
For purposes of this section, "permanent sandblasting operations
or equipment" means sandblasting operations conducted, or
sandblasting equipment located, in a building which is used, in whole
or in part, for sandblasting operations.
