AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AQMD Resolution No.2006—0 10 WHEREAS the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has promulgated

anew National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“NAAQS”)
for ozonewith an8-hour averaging time of 0.08 parts permillion, has revoked the 1-hour primary standard, and has determined that the 8-hour standard

is necessary
in order to protect public health (Federal Register, Vol. 62, No. 138, pages2- 37 (July 18, 1997); and WHEREAS
the Sacramento Metropolitan Area (“SMA”), includes the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (“District”)

aswell asthe Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, and partsof the Placer County Air Pollution Control District, the El Dorado County Air Quality Management District, and the Feather River Air Quality Management District (Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 84, pages23858-23951 (April 30, 2004)); and WHEREAS
the SMA exceeds the primary NAAQS for 8-hour ozone,and has been designated nonattainment
for ozonewith
aclassification
of “Serious” (Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 84, pages 23858-23951); and WHEREAS the USEPA recently published
its Final Rule for the implementation

of the 8- hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard, which requires nonattainment areasclassified “Serious”
todemonstrate reasonable further progresstoward attainment of the new8-hour standard (Federal Register, Vol. 70, No. 228, pages71611-71705 (November 29, 2005)); and WHEREAS
the SMA Districts have prepared the proposed Sacramento Regional Nonattainment Area 8-Hour Ozone Rate-of-Progress Plan (8-Hour ROP) to satisfy the reasonable further progress requirement; and WHEREAS
the proposed 8-Hour ROP demonstrates that existing control strategies and approved control measurecommitments will provide the future emission reductions necessary

to meetthe federal Clean Air Act requirements
for reasonable further progressfor the period 2002- 2008; and WHEREAS photochemical modeling has concluded that the mostfeasible ozone attainment strategymustinclude reductions
of both volatile organic compound and nitrogen oxide emissions and that nitrogen oxide reductions would be morebeneficial than VOC reductions

in reducing peak ozonein downwind areas;and WHEREAS
the substitution
of nitrogen oxide emission reductions

in place of volatile organic compound emission reductions

tomeetreasonable further progress requirements

is consistent with Federal Clean Air Act Section

1 82(c)(2)(C), and with previous and current analyses of ozoneattainment strategies
in the SMA; and8-HourOzone Rate-of-ProgressP’an January 26,2006 Page14 WhEREAS the proposed 8-Hour ROP includes an updated emissions inventory and sets newMotor Vehicle Emission Budgets for transportation conformity purposes;and WHEREAS
the proposed 8-Hour ROP includes an updated
15 percentvolatile organic compound emission reduction demonstration
for 1990-1996; and WhEREAS

in connection with the foregoing, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District,
aslead agency,
in consultation with El Dorado Air Quality Management District, Feather River Air Quality Management District, Placer County Air Pollution Control District and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District,
as responsible agencies, duly prepared

a Draft Environmental Impact Report (“DEIR”), dated September, 2005, State Clearinghouse No. 2004042112,

toconsider potential environmental impacts arising from the proposed 8-Hour ROP; and WHEREAS
the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District published notice ofthe availability
of the DEIR and held
anoticed public workshop onOctober 24, 2005 to receive public commentonthe DEER and the proposed 8-Hour ROP; and WhEREAS minor revisions
tothe ROP and DEIR weremade to amplify and clarify the analysis contained
in those documents and toadd newinformation

tothe ER regarding the final mitigation measures;and WHEREAS
the information added totheER did not identify

anew significant impact related tothe project or mitigation measures
orincrease
in the severity of a previously identified impact, nordid it identify

afeasible project alternative not analyzed
inthe draft ER. WhEREAS Comments and Responses

tothe DEIR, including the list of persons, organizations and public agencies commenting
onthe DEER, have been prepared
as Appendix

D thereto, and together with the revised DEER comprise

aFinal Environmental Impact Report, completed

in full compliance with all procedural and substantive provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act;and WhEREAS
the Board of Directors
of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District held
anoticed public hearing and considered public commentonthe proposed 8-Hour ROP atits January 26, 2006 meeting; and WHEREAS
the Board of Directors of the District certifies that the Final Environmental Impact Report has been completed

in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, that the Board of Directors of the District has reviewed and considered the information contained
in the Final Environmental Impact Report and that the Final Environmental Impact Report reflects their independent judgment. WHEREAS
the Board of Directors of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District finds that Final Environmental Impact Report identifies potentially significant8-HourOzone Rate-of-ProgressPlan January 26,2006 Page15 impacts onair quality in 2027 as compared

tothe No Project Alternative

in Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo County; and WHEREAS
the Board of Directors
of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District has required the implementation

of mitigation measuresthat lessen the significant environmental effects identified
in the Final Environmental Impact Report. Those mitigations consist of the implementation

of the Vehicle and Engine Technology Market Based Incentive Program by SMAQMD and mitigate the potentially significant adverse air quality impacts to insignificant levels; and WHEREAS
the Board of Directors
of the Sacramento Metropolitan
Air Quality Management District finds that there arenoadditional feasible mitigation measures
or project alternatives other than those already included
in the Final EIR; and WHEREAS $19.2 million
in funding has been secured for the Vehicle and Engine Technology Market Based Incentive Program; and WhEREAS the District has prepared

a Mitigation Monitoring Program, which requires the District staff to prepareand submit tothe Board anannual reporton implementation

ofthe Vehicle and Engine Technology Market Based Incentive Program until the measure

is fully implemented. WHEREAS staff of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District,
at777 12th Street, Sacramento maintain the record of the proceedings uponwhich this decision

is based. NOW, THEREFORE,
BEIT RESOLVED that Board of Directors fmds that changes or alteration

in the project have been required that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified

in the final EIR, because the Vehicle and Engine Technology Market Based Incentive Program
tobe implemented

by the District provides adequate emission reductions

toreduce the project emissions

toless than significant levels; BEIT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Directors approvesthe Mitigation Monitoring Program attached
