Dear Mr. Nastri: 

The Air Resources Board (ARB) hereby submits to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (U.S. EPA) a request to reclassify three California areas designated' 

nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standard. We request that the U.S. EPA reclassify 

the Sacramento Metro Nonattainment Area from "serious" to "severe-15," the Western 

Mojave Desert Nonattainment Area from "moderate" to "severe-17" and the Ventura 

County Nonattainment Area from "moderate" to "serious." 

The request for reclassification of the Sacramento Metro Nonattainment Area is made 

on behalf of the five air districts in the area. Each of the air districts -- Sacramento 

Metropolitan, Fea#her River, EI Dorado County, Yolo-Solano, and Placer County -- have 

passed board resolutions requesting this reclassification. 

The request for reclassification of the Western Mojave Desert Nonattainment Area is 

made on behalf of the Antelope Valley and the Mojave Desert air districts. On 

January 28, 2008,,the Mojave Desert air district board approved a resolution requesting 

reclassification. The Antelope Valley air district board will consider a formal resolution 

requesting a reclassification at its meeting on February 19, 2008. In the interim, the Air 

Pollution Control Officer of the Antelope Valley air district has asked ARB to request a 

reclassification on the district's behalf. 

The request for reclassification of the Ventura County Nonattainment Area is made on 

behalf of the Ventura County air district. The Ventura County Air Pollution Control 

Officer asked ARB to make this request in a letter dated January 23, 2008. 

The energy challenge facing California is reat. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. 

For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our website: http://www.arb.ca.gov.

ARB is working closely with the air districts to complete Reasonable Further Progress 

(RFP) and attainment plans. ARB commits to submit RFP plans for all three regions 

and attainment plans for Ventura County and Western Mojave Desert Nonattainment 

Areas to U.S. EPA by April 30, 2008. ARB will submit the attainment plan for the 

Sacramento Metro Nonattainment Area once the air districts adopt their local element of 

the plan this summer. For all of these areas, the attainment strategy is primarily the 

existing control program plus the new reductions from the 2007 State Strategy 

submitted to U.S. EPA last November. So as a practical matter, the most critical SIP 

element for these areas has already been completed and submitted to U.S. EPA. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (916) 445-4383, or

SUBJECT: Request for Voluntary lteclassification 

Dear Mr. Goldstene, 

r 

In July 1997, the U.S. Enrriromnental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated an eighthour ambient air quality standard for ozone. Based on.Ventura County's ozorie lovels 

over the previous three years, on June 15, 2004, EPA designated Ventura County a 

"moderate" nonattainimerit area fox that standard. Moderate ozone nonattainment areas ` 

must attain the federal eight-hour ozone standard by June 15, 2010. 

'T'he Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (District), in partnership with the . California Air Resourees Board (ARB), has been preparing the 2007 Ventura Cour>lty Air 

Quality Management Plan (AQMP), now the 2008 AQMP, for more thaxa a year to ' 

address the federal eight-hour ozone standard. The AQMP was due to EPA by June 15, 

2007. 

Section 181(b)(3) of the federal Clean Air Act "voluntary reclassification," provides that 

"the EPA Adrninistrator shall grant the request of any State to reclassify a nonattainment 

area in that State in accordance to a higher classification." Photochemical modeling 

conducted for the 2008 AQMp; along with supplemental analyses, indicate that Ventura 

County may riot attain the federal eight-hour ozone standard by the deadline for moderate 

ozone nonattain;;nent areas and will need moxe tixne to achieve the necessary emission 

reductions to attai>.a the federal eight hotu ozone standard. 'Therefore, the District is 

requesting that ARB formally submit a request to EPA'for voluntary reclassification of 

Ventura County from `.`moderate" to "serious" for the eight-hour fedexal ozone standard 

and modxfy the attainment date to Jurxe 15, 2013. Gi,ven that the 2008 AQMP is late, we 

further- ask that you sub>tnit the reclassification request to EPA as soon as possible. !

Re: AVAQMD's Request for Voluntary Reclassification Under Federal8-hour Ozone 

Standard. 

Dear Mr. Goldstene: 

As you are aware, the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone were 

formerly measured on a 1-hour standard. The area now included within the jurisdiction of the 

Antelope Valley Air Qualilty Management District (AVAQMD) was designated nonattainment and classified "Severe-17" under this standard. In 1997 USEPA revised the 

NAAQS for Ozone and changed the measurement to an 8-hour standard. On June 15, 2004 

the USEPA designated that area of Los Angeles County within the jurisdiction of the 

AVAQMD non-attainment under the 8-hour standard and classified it as "Moderate" . 

Moderate 8-hour Ozone nonattainment areas are required to attain the NAAQS for Ozone on 

or before June 15, 2010. As you are also aware your agency had determined that portions of 

the Mojave Desert Air Basin, including the portion within the jurisdiction of the AVAQMD, 

is overwhelming impacted for Ozone by emissions generated within the South Coast Air 

Basin (SCAB). 

The AVAQMD has been developing its Ozone attainment demonstration plan. However the 

plan is not yet complete, due to circumstances beyond the control of the AVAQMD, 

including delays in State Implementation Plan (SIP) adoption within the SCAB and ongoing 

issues regarding modeling.' We have recently received initial results from the modeling as 

performed by other agencies. These results show that due to the overwhelming impact of 

Ozone transport on the AVAQMD and substantial growth in emissions from transportation 

related activities the nonattainrrient portions of the' AVAQMD will not be able to achieve the 

NAAQS for Ozone on or before June 15, 2010. The results of the recent modeling will also 

require the AVAQMD to completely reanalyze and augment its Federal 8-hour Ozone 

attainment plan.

Re: MDAQMD's Request for Voluntary Reclassification Under Federal 8-hour Ozone 

Standard.' 

Dear Mr. Goldstene: 

As you are aware, the National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( (NAAQS) for Ozone were 

formerly measured on a 1-hour standard. Portions of the Mojave Desert Air Qualilty 

Management District (MDAQMD) were designated non-attainment and classified "Severe17" under this standard. In 1997 USEPA revised the NAAQS for Ozone and changed the 

measurement to an 8-hour standard. On June 15, 2004 the USEPA designated portions of the 

MDAQMD non-attainment under the 8-hour standard and classified it as "Moderate" . 

Moderate 8-hour Ozone nonattainment areas are required to attain the NAAQS for Ozone on 

or before June 15, 2010. As you are also aware your agency had determined that the 

MDAQMD is overwhelming impacted for Ozone by emissions generated within the South 

Coast Air Basin (SCAB) and the San Joaquin Air Basin. 

The MDAQMD has been developing its Ozone attainment demonstration plan. However the 

plan is not yet complete, due to circumstances beyond the control.of the MDAQMD, 

including delays in State Implementation Plan (SIP) adoption within the SCAB and ongoing 

issues regarding modeling. We have recently received initial results from the modeling as

AGENDA ITEM 22 

DATE: January 28, 2008 

RECOMMENDATION: Approve request to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for 

8-hour Ozone non-attainment classification "bump-up". Direct Air, Pollution Control 

Officer to draft and sign request. 

SUMMARY: This item will comply with USEPA's directive that the MDAQMD 

request a"bump-up" in its official 8-hour Ozone non-attainment classification due to the 

dependency of the MDAQMD's attainment upon reductions in the South Coast Air Basin 

(SCAB) and results of regional modeling. 

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None 

BACKGROUND: The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone 

were formerly measured on a 1-hour standard. Portions of the MDAQMD were 

designated non-attainment and classified "Severe-17" under this standard. In 1997 

USEPA revised the NAAQS.for Ozone and changed the measurement to an 8-hour 

standard. On June 15, 2004 the USEPA designated portions of the MDAQMD nonattainment under the 8-hour standard and classified it as "Moderate". This reclassification, even though it was "lower" than the prior classification, had no effect upon 

MDAQMD Planning Documents or Rules and Regulations due to "anti-backsliding" 

provisions in the implementing regulations for the 8-hour standard. In fact, the only thing 

the re-classification did to the MDAQMD was to change the mandatory attainment date 

to June 15, 2010. 

Due to ,the MDAQMD's attainment status being wholly dependant upon emissions 

reductions in the upwind SCAB and as a result of recent regional modeling studies, 

USEPA has directed the MDAQMD to request a"bump-up" in non=attainment status to 

its former 1-hour classification status of "Severe-17". The net effect of the "bump-up" if 

it is approved by USEPA will be minimal. It will require a review of the MDAQMD's 

rules and sources to determine if they are compliant with current Reasonably Available 

Control Technology (RACT) requirements by the end of 2009. Staff has already begun 

this review and it will be completed before the required date. In addition, the "bump-up" 

will extend the attainment date to June 15, 2021. Otherwise, there will be no other 

effects.

Subject: Request to voluntary reclassify the Sacramento Federal Ozone Nonattainment 

Area as severe for the national 8-hour ozone ambient air quality standards 

Dear Mr. Goldstene: 

The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) [Section 172(b)] required the local air districts in the 

Sacramento Federal Ozone Nonattainment Area (SFNA) to prepare and submit a State 

1mplementation Plan to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) by 

June 15,, 2007. However, for various reasons the air districts in SFNA were not able to 

meet the submittal deadline. 

The SFNA is currentiy classified by the USEPA as "serious" nonattainment.area for the 

national 8-hour ozone standards with an attainment deadline of June 15, 2013. All 

available data indicate that the projected emissions reductions are substantially less than 

that needed to attain by the 2013 deadline and that there are no feasible strategies that 

could achieve the needed. reductions. The federal CAA [Section 181(b)(3)] permits a state 

to request for a higher classification and extend the attainment deadline. This request is 

necessary for this region because longer-term strategies are needed to achieve the 

emission reductions needed fior attainment. 

\ 

On January 24, 2008, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District Board 

of Directors approved a request to volunta ry . reclassification to "severe.° ln addition, the 

region expects to submit a reasonable further progress plan before April 30, 2008 and a 

severe area attainment demonstration plan later this year. 

Therefore, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District requests a 

voluntary reclassification to the USEPA for the national 8-hour ozone classification from 

"serious" to "severe." If you have any questions regarding this reclassification request, 

please do not hesitate to.contact me at (916) 874-4802 or Ms. Brigette Tollstrup, Manager

RE: Voluntary reclassification Under 8-Hour Federal Ozone Standard 

Dear Mr. Goldstene: 

Environmental 

lealth Division The El Dorado County Air Quality Management District (AQMD) supports the need for a 

voluntary reclassification (bump-up) from a serious to severe nonatta.inment for the Sacramento 

Air Quality Region 8-hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP). Based upon the most recent SIP modeling 

Management information for the region, mobile sources account for 90% of the NOx inventory, which the local 

District air districts have no authority to regulate. The existing and currently proposed State and Federal 

control strategies afPecting mobile sources will not create sufficient emission reductions in time to 

Solid Waste & support a 2013 attainment demonstration. The Sacramento Region needs emission reductions from 

Hazardous mobile source control measures, in addition to emission reductions from sources with the AQMD's 

Materials jurisdiction, to demonstrate attainment of the 8-hour federal ozone standard. 

Divisions 

The Governing Board of the AQMD discussed the voluntary reclassification item at a public 

Vector Control meeting on February 5, 2008, and it was unanimously approved. The Board directed the 

submission of the adopted Resolution # 23-2008 (attached) to the. US Environmental Protection 

Agency through the California Air Resources Board.

RE: FRAQMD's Request for Voluntary Reclassification Under Federal 8-hour Ozone 

Standard 

Dear Mr. Goldstene, 

As part of the Sacramento Federal Nonattaixunent Area (SFNA), a portion of the Feather River 

Air Quality Management District has been designated as a serious ozone non-attainment area 

and was required to prepare and submit to EPA by June 15 th, 2007, a reasonable further progress 

(RFP) plan demonstrating that the SFNA will attain the standard by June 15, 2013. The District 

could not complete the RFP by June 15 th, 2007, due to unavoidable delays in the local 

transportation plan process at the Sacramento Area Council of Governrnents and in the 

development of mobile source control strategies at the Air Resources Board. . 

The results of the SACOG Metropolitan Transportation Plan and associated vehicle activity 

data provided to ARB in December 2007 showed that nearly 66 0/o of volatile organic compounds 

and 900/o of oxides of nitrogen in the SFNA are emitted by mobile sources. As you are aware, 

emissions from mobile sources are primarily controlled by the ARB and the EPA. Therefore, the 

SFNA needs emission reductions frominobile source control measures, in addition to emission 

reductions from sources within the District's jurisdiction, to dernonstrate attainment of the 

Federal 8-hour ozone standard. 

R 

The ARB has developed mobile source control strategy in September 2007, however many of the 

emission reductions will not occur until after 2012. This will prevent the SFNA from meeting 

the attainment deadline of June 15 th, 2013: According to the Clean Air Act, 42 USC 7511(b) (3), 

areas may voluntarily request a higher classification and extend the deadline for attainment.

FEATHER RIVER AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT 

RESOLUTION N0.2008-01 

TnTHEREAS, as a serious ozone nonattainment are'a, the 

Sacramento Federal Nonattainment,Area (SFNA) was required to 

prepare and submit to EPA by June 15, 2007 a reasonable further 

progress (RFP) plan demonstrating that emissions in the SFNA 

will decline by the required level of three percent per year 

through 2011 and an attainment demonstration plan (SIP) showing 

attainment of the federal 8-hour ozone ambient air quality 

standards by June 15, 2013; and 

WHEREP,S, the SFNA comprises most of El Dorado County, most 

of Placer County, all of Sacramento and Yolo Counties, south 

part of Sutter County, and eastern Solano County; and 

WHEREAS, the District could not complete the RFP and SIP 

plan by June!15, 2007-due to unavoidable delays in the local 

transportation plan process at the Sacramento Area Council of 

Governments (SACOG) and in the development of mobile source 

control strategies at the Air Resources Board (ARB); and 

WHEREAS, local SFNA air districts, and SACOG, after 

consultation with other regional partners', delayed subinitting 

the required plans to align the 8-hour ozone plan with'Blueprint 

and SACOG's 2035 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and 

facilitating the transportation planning process; and

.and the associated vehicle activity data provided to ARB in , 

December 2007; and 

WHEREAS, nearly 66% of volatile organic compounds .(VOCs) 

and 90% of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the SFNA are emitted by , mobile sources; and' 

WHEREAS, emissions from mobile sources in the SFNA are 

primarily controlled by the State of California Air Resources 

Board and the U.S. Environmental.Protection Agency; arid 

WHEFtEAS, the SFNA needs additional emission reductions from 

mobile sources under the control of the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board 

(ARB), in addition to emissions reductions frorn sources under 

1 
SZP in August, 2008 and t,oward attainment of the federal 

standard; and 

WHEREAS, the Clean Air Act requirements associated witYi 

severe ozone classifications have already been implemented 

under the SFNA 1-hour ozone classification of severe, and these 

requirements will continue to remain in effect regardless of the 

reclassification request; and 

WHEREAS, staff recommends re_questing reclassification 

because all information available indicates that the 

rec'lassification to severe nonattainment for the federal 8-hour 

ozone ambient air quality standards is unavoidable and the Area 

will inevitably have to request a reclassification; and 

WHEREAS, staff anticipates submitting a reasonable further 

progress demonstration for 2011 required by Clean Air Act, 

42USC7502 (c) (2) , 7511a (b) (1) , and 7511a (c) (2) (b) to the Air 

Resources Board for approval in April 2008; and 

WHEREAS, this Board concurs with the recommendations of its 

staff;

Sacramento, CA 95812-2815 

Subject: Request to voluntary reclassify the Sacramento Federal Ozone Nonattainment 

Area as severe IFor the national -8-hour ozone arrablent air quality standard's ; 

Dear Mr. Goldstene: 

The federal Clean Air A°;t (CAA) [Section 172(b)) required the local air districts in the 

Sacramento Federal Ozcine Nonattainmenx Area (SFNA) to prepare and submit a State 

lmplementation Plan to the United States Environrnental Protection Agency (llSEPA) - by 

June 15, 2007. However, for various reasons the air districts in SFNA were not abie to 

meet the submittal deadi ne. 

The SFNA is cun-ently el .,tssified by the US1=PA as °serious” nonattainment area for the 

national 8-hour ozone s•landards with an atrainment deadline of June 15, 2013. AII 

available data indicate th,,at the projected emissions reduc#ions are substantially less than 

#hat needed to attain by i he 2013 deadline and that there are no feasibie strategfes that 

could achieve the needec' reductions. The fiederal CAA [Sectiori 181(b)(3)j permits a state 

to request for a higher classification and extend the attainment deadline. This request Is 

necessary for this regio u because longer-term strategies are needed to achieve the 

emissibn reductions neec!ed for attsinment. 

On February 'i 3, 2008, tho, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District BQard of Directors 

approved a requested a voluntary 'reciassification to "severe,° In addition, the region 

expects to submit a reasonable further progress plan before April 30, 2008 and a seve ,

i-e 

area attainment demonsiration plan later this year.
