Dear Ms. Witherspoon: 

Submittal of 2007 Air Quality Management Plan 

At its June 1, 2007 meeting, the South Coast Air Quality Management District 

(SCAQMD) Governing Board adopted the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). 

The 2007 AQMP, as approved, is submitted as a single integrated plan for PM2.5 and 8- 

hour ozone attainment. As such, it should not be considered separately for these two 

pollutants. Our agency would appreciate an expedited staff review and CARB Board 

consideration at the earliest possible date (preferably by June 22,2007). There are only 

minor changes to the documents previously reviewed by your staff and such changes are 

indicated in underline and strikeout format. 

It is important to note that two of the draft Goods Movement Control Measures (High 

Speed Transport System and Truck-Only Lanes) proposed by the Southern California 

Association of Governments (SCAG) are undergoing further local review prior to any 

formal consideration of incorporation into the emission control strategy. Thus, we are 

not requesting approval of these measures at this time. Also, the transportation 

conformity budgets reflecting policies adopted at the June public hearing are currently 

undergoing a 30-day public notice and will be forwarded to you shortly after a public 

hearing on July 13, 2007. Nonetheless, the Plan may be acted upon with approval of the 

State Mobile Source Control element, and subsequently our staffs can reflect final 

decisions in submittal of the transportation budgets to U.S. EPA. 

In order to expedite your review and approval process, I am submitting the following 

documents that were approved at our June 1, 2007 Hearing. The Final 2007 AQMP will 

be forwarded to you upon completion of the final printing.

PROPOSAL: Adopt 2007 Air Quality Management Plan for South Coast Air 

Quality Management District and Certify the Final Program 

Environmental Impact Report 

SYNOPSIS: On October 10, 2006, staff released the Draft 2007 Air Quality 

Management Plan (AQMP) to satisfy both federal and state Clean 

Air Act requirements, address the attainment demonstration 

requirements of the federal Clean Air Act for 8-hour ozone and 

PM2.5, and establish transportation emission budgets based on the 

latest approved motor vehicle emissions model and planning 

assumptions. The proposed modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP 

were released on March 2,2007 to incorporate revisions to the 

emissions inventory, modeling, attainment demonstration, and 

transportation budgets. The Draft Program Environmental Impact 

Report (PEE) was also released for public review on March 2, 

2007. The Draft Socioeconomic Report was released for review on 

April 27, 2007. Regional public hearings were held on April 17 

through April 19,2007 throughout the four counties to receive 

additional public testimony on the 2007 AQMP. A Final PER 

incorporating comments received has also been prepared for the 

Board's consideration.

-.- ...-..------.-.-.-..--.-.-----.*.--.-., 

Clerk of the Board - 

Background 

The U.S. EPA promulgated the federal 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 standards in July 1997 

which became effective in June 2004 and April 2005, respectively. For the 8-hour ozone 

standard, the South Coast Air Basin is classified as a "Severe 17" non-attainment area 

with an attainment date of June 2021, while the portion of the Salton Sea Air Basin under 

the District's jurisdiction (Coachella Valley) is classified as "Serious", with an attainment 

date of June 2013. As discussed below, District staff recommends requesting a "bump 

up" to "extreme" and "severe 15" respectively for these areas. Unlike the 8-hour ozone 

standard, area designations for the PM2.5 standard did not have a classification system 

(e.g., serious, severe) and these areas were designated as attainment, non-attainment, or , unclassifiable. Accordingly, the Basin and the Coachella Valley were designated non- I 

attainment and unclassifiable for PM2.5, respectively. The initial PM2.5 attainment date 

for areas such as the Basin is April 2010, however, a 5-year extension is allowed under 

the provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. 

The purpose of the 2007 AQMP is to set forth a comprehensive program that will lead the 

Basin and Coachella Valley into compliance with all federal and state air quality planning 

requirements. Specifically, the 2007 AQMP revision is designed to satisfy: the SIP 

submittal requirements of the federal CAA to demonstrate attainment of the new 8-hour 

ozone and PM2.5 ambient air quality standards, the California CAA triennial update 

requirements, and fulfill the District's obligation to update transportation emission 

budgets based on the latest approved motor vehicle emissions model and planning 

assumptions. Unclassifiable regions for PM2.5, such as the Coachella Valley Planning 

Area, do not require a planning demonstration for the federal standard and are not 

addressed in this document. 

Public Process 

Prior to releasing the Draft 2007 AQMP in October 2006, the AQMD conducted an Air 

Quality Summit in June 2006 with the participation of over 125 attendees including 

representatives from federal, state, and local governments, academia, and industry experts 

from a variety of areas and the public, to solicit new and innovative concepts to assist in J -\ 

(&% 1 
designing a plan for attaining the ambient air quality standards. In total, District staff 

received about 200 control measure suggestions. In addition, beginning in 2006 the 

AQMD held a series of Technical Forums and Technical Roundtable discussions where 

air quality experts came together and discussed the best overall approach for the AQMP. 

Topics included emission trends, regional growth patterns, and discussion of the weekend 

effect. 

Since December 2005, the AQMD staff has been working on the development of the 

2007 AQNIP with two Board advisory committees: the Air Quality Management Plan, 

and the Scientific, Technical, and Modeling Peer Review Advisory Committee. Since the 

process began, the AQMD has held 16 meetings for each committee where staff has 

solicited input and recommendations from committee members. In addition, AQMD 

staff has conducted a 5-member peer review on the modeling methodology and solicited 

consultant reviews on the updated emission inventory methodology and control strategies 

for their technical feasibility. 

The Draft 2007 AQMP was released on October 10,2006 in order to inform the public 

and other stakeholders of the challenges we face and begin the debate early so that the 

issues on the development of the 2007 AQMP can be adequately addressed. 

Subsequent to the release of the Draft 2007 AQMP, nine public workshops were held 

throughout the four counties from October 24 through December 6, 2006 to discuss the 

Draft 2007 AQMP and solicit public input. In addition, an extensive outreach program 

was conducted including meetings such as city council and council of governments 

(COG) meetings. In all, over 100 meetings were conducted in which the 2007 AQMF' 

was presented or discussed. 

Based on comments received, revisions to the Draft 2007 AQMP were made and are 

contained in the Proposed Modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP which was released for 

public review on March 2,2007. An additional four public workshops on the Proposed 

Modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP were held in March 2007. Five regional public 

hearings were held in April 2007 in each of the four counties, where additional public 

input and comments were solicited. As a result of this additional public process, an 

Addendum to the Proposed Modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP was prepared and is 

being submitted to the Board for its consideration. 

Proposal 

The 2007 AQMP incorporates the most recent planning assumptions and the best 

available information such as: revised stationary point and area source emissions 

inventories; on-road and off-road mobile source emissions inventories based on CARB's 

latest EMFAC2007 and Off-Road Models, respectively; the use of new meteorological 

episodes for ozone and expanded air quality modeling analysis; and the latest C demographic growth forecasts based on the modified 2004 Regional Transportation Plan 
(RTP) developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The 

Plan also includes control strategies for demonstrating attainment with the federal air 

quality standards for 8-hour ozone and annual PM2.5; and provides a basis for a CO and 

NOz maintenance plan. 

Draft 2007 AQMP 

At the time of the Draft 2007 AQMP release, CARB had not released their state strategy 

and the emission inventory and modeling analysis had not been finalized. As a result, the 

Draft 2007 AQMP contained preliminary on-road and off-road emissions inventories 

based on a working draft of CARB's EMFAC2007 on-road model and a draft version of 

CARB's OFFROAD model. Because CARB had not completed their state strategy the 

Draft 2007 AQMP contained state control concepts rather then specific control measures. 

For attainment demonstration purposes, the AQMD staff included adjusted control 

measures for state and federal sources as part of the Draft 2007 AQMP. 

Proposed Modifications to the DraB 2007 A QMP 

Based on the comments received and additional analysis, the Proposed Modifications to 

the Draft 2007 AQMP were released on March 2,2007. The Proposed Modifications to 

the Draft 2007 AQMP included updated emission inventories which incorporated 

CARB's latest on-road model EMFAC2007 (v2.3) and OFFROAD model. The use of 

these models resulted in an overall decrease in future emissions and changes to the 

attainment demonstration. The modifications document also included CARB's draft state 

strategy, as well as the AQMD's suggested proposed policy options to supplement 

CARB's control strategy. 

Drafr Final 2007 AQMP 

The Draft Final 2007 AQMP represents additional revisions to the Plan. The major 

revisions include: 1) The defined PM2.5 attainment strategy incorporated two enhanced 

measures for directly emitted PM2.5 proposed by AQMD, two transportation measures 

submitted by SCAG, and additional NOx reduction commitments to be assumed by 

CARB; 2) CARB's revised draft short-term mobile source and consumer products 

measures were incorporated; 3) The Transportation Conformity Budgets section relative 

to the ozone conformity determination was expanded to match the years specified in the 

Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) demonstration; 4) Additional clarifications were 

provided in several AQMD control measures; and 5) Other minor revisions were also 

made throughout the AQMP chapters and appendices. A list of the documents contained 

in the Draft Final 2007 AQMP is provided as Attachment B to this Board letter. 

Key Findings 

Some of the key findings and highlights of the 2007 AQMP include: 

1) Air Quality Trend - Although the long-term trend of air quality in the Basin has ,..- 

improved significantly and is expected to continue to improve because of existing air :' %- ') 
quality regulations, without additional controls the federal annual PM2.5 and 8-hour 

standards will not be achieved by 2015 and 2021, respectively; 

2) Emissions Inventory - The estimated emissions inventory from mobile sources while 

continuing to decline over previous years, is projected to make up an overwhelming 

majority of the PM2.5 and ozone problems in out years (i.e., 73% in 2014). Significant 

additional reductions are required from these sources in order to demonstrate attainment 

with the federal standards; 

3) Bump-up - The District is requesting that CARB formally submit a request to EPA for 

voluntary redesignation (bump-up) of the South Coast Air Basin from a designation of 

"severe-17" to "extreme" for 8-hour average ozone and modify the attainment date to 

June 15,2024. In addition, the District is also requesting a bump up for the Coachella 

Valley from "serious" to "severe-15" and modify the attainment date to June 15, 201 9. 

The reclassifications will enable the use of "black box" control measures for the South 

Coast Air Basin to ensure that the 8-hour ozone attainment is demonstrated and to 

alleviate the risk of potential federal sanctions; 

4) PM2.5 SIP Submission - In order to design the most efficient path to clean air with 

clear regulatory commitments for the immediate future, the AQMD is submitting an 

/--> integrated plan including both PM2.5 and ozone components to be forwarded to U.S. 

1 t EPA. In addition, the AQMD is requesting a five-year extension from 201 0 to 2015 to 

demonstrate attainment with the annual PM2.5 standard; 

5) Attainment Demonstration - Based on the modeling analysis, the 2014 annual PM2.5 

standard carrying capacities were determined to be 469 tons per day of VOC and 454 

tons per day of NOx emissions requiring significant reductions (59 tonsfday of VOC and 

192 tonsfday of NOx). The 2023 carrying capacities for the 8-hour ozone standard are 

420 tons per day of VOC and 114 tons per day of NOx emissions requiring significant 

reductions (1 16 tonsfday of VOC and 383 tonsfday of NOx, including the controls 

required for the annual PM2.5 standard); and 

6) Control Strategy - The overall control strategy proposed in the Plan will provide for 

attainment of the annual PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone standards by 2015 and 2024, 

respectively. After implementation of short-term and defined control measures proposed 

by the AQMD, CARB, and SCAG, 41 tons per day of additional NOx reductions would 

still need to be achieved in order to meet the annual PM2.5 standard by 2014. To close 

this gap, the AQMD staff is proposing that CARB commit to additional NOx reductions 

from mobile sources (Refer to District Staff's Proposed PM2.5 Attainment Strategy under 

the Key Policy Issues section). Also, the 2023 deadline for achieving the necessary 

reductions for meeting the 8-hour ozone standard will require long-term strategies based 

on future technology advancements, greater implementation of innovative strategies, and 
additional public funding referred to as "black box" reductions (i-e., 29 tonslday of VOC 

and 188 tonslday of NOx). 

Public Comments 

Numerous comments have been received during the Plan development. The specific 

responses to over 40 written comment letters on the Draft 2007 AQMP as well as oral 

comments received at the workshops are addressed in the document, "Response to 

Comments on the Draft 2007 Air Quality Management Plan," dated February 2007. The 

comments were generally centered around a few control measures such as EGM-01 - 

Emission Reductions from New or Redevelopment Projects strongly opposing mitigation 

fees, CMB-04 - Natural Gas Fuel Specifications commenting that the AQMD lack lacked 

legal authority to regulate natural gas and the potential for fuel shortages, and MCS-01 - 

Facility Modernization with concerns on the cost impacts to industry. An additional 17 

comment letters received after the release of the Proposed Modifications to the Draft 

2007 AQMP and the Response to Comments on the Draft 2007 AQMP have been taken 

into account by staff and where appropriate, have been reflected in the Addendum to the 

Proposed Modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP. Major comments received and the 

AQMD staff's responses have been summarized in Attachment C to this Board Letter. 

Key Policy Issues 

There are four key policy issues related to the adoption of the 2007 AQMP for Board 

consideration which are briefly presented here: ,. 

! ; 

1) "Bump-up" Request - Section 18 1 (b)(3) of the CAA, "voluntary reclassification," 

provides that "the EPA Administrator shall grant the request of any State to 

reclassify a nonattainrnent area in that State in accordance to a higher 

classification." The voluntary request for reclassification to a more severe 

designation is commonly referred to as a "bump-up." Under its current nonattainment classification, the District is prohibited from relying on "black-box" 

measures to demonstrate attainment. Areas classified "Extreme" may rely on 

'black box" measures to demonstrate attainment. The regional ozone modeling 

analyses demonstrates that without the use of the "black-box" measures, the 2024 

maximum projected ozone design for the Basin would be, approximately 120 

percent of the standard. Additional emissions reductions through 2023 are 

required to demonstrate ozone attainment. Therefore, the District is formally 

requesting CARB to submit a request to EPA for a voluntary reclassification of the 

South Coast Air Basin from "Severe-17" to "Extreme" nonattainment for ozone 

and that the EPA Administrator grant such request upon receipt. Through this 

request, the District is also seeking an extension of the ozone attainment date from 

June 15,2021 to June 15,2024.

voluntary reclassification of the Coachella Valley Portion of the Salton Sea Air 

Basin from "Serious" to "Severe-15" nonattainment for ozone and that the EPA 

Administrator grant such request upon receipt. Through this request, the District 

is also seeking an extension of the ozone attainment date from June 15, 2013 to 

June 15, 2019. 

2) Bifurcation of the Plan - The formal deadline for submission of the ozone 

attainment plan is June 15,2007. The formal deadline for submission of the 

PM2.5 plan is April 5,2008. Therefore, technically speaking, the PM2.5 plan is 

not due until 2008. However, the annual PM2.5 attainment date (i.e., 2015) is 

earlier than the 8-hour ozone attainment date of 2021 or 2024. In order to design 

the most efficient path to clean air, it is imperative that an integrated plan 

including both PM2.5 and ozone be developed. Furthermore, there are only seven 

years left to implement the necessary measures to attain the annual PM2.5 

standard. The South Coast region needs a road map now to commit its resources 

for rule development, public and private funding, and technology deployment. 

District staff therefore recommends submitting an integrated plan including the 

annual PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone attainment demonstrations 

3) District Staffs Proposed PM2.5 Attainment Strategy - In the draft Plan, 

- released in February 2007, District staff identified a reduction gap of 7 1 tons per 8 ) '\~ I day for PM2.5 attainment by 2015 based on the estimated reductions from the 

draft proposed State strategy along with District's proposed control measures. 

Consequently, three policy options based on implementation of additional control 

measures and incentive funding were provided to close the gap (described in 

Appendix IV-B-2). In the revised draft state strategy, the reduction gap has 

increased to 74 tons per day of NOx due to foregone emission reductions for one 

of the state measures (i.e., off-road diesel equipment). 

Based on further 3-agency (i.e., District, CARB, and SCAG) discussions to date, 

the District staff is proposing the following: 

The District is enhancing two of its proposed control measures (i-e., woodburning fireplaces and wood stoves and commercial under-fired charbroilers) 

to obtain an additional 1.4 tons per day of directly-emitted PM2.5, which is 

equivalent to about 11 tons per day of NOx. 

Two control measures (i.e., High Speed Transport System and Truck-Only 

Lanes) submitted by SCAG are now incorporated in the draft Final AQMP 

which would achieve 22 tons per day of NOx reductions by 20 14. Since these 

are mobile source-related, District staff proposes that CARB will backstop 

these reductions, only if necessary to ensure that these reductions are achieved. 
District staff proposes that CARB commit to an additional 41 tons per day of 

NOx reductions to close the attainment gap, bringing the total commitment to 

163 tons per day by 2014. 

In its revised draft State strategy, CARB staff has suggested that the District 

consider additional local measures for directly-emitted PM sources to close the 

reduction gap. Specifically, CARB staff has suggested mandatory curtailment of 

the use of fireplaces and woodstoves during winter months, requiring additional 

controls on commercial cooking (i.e., charbroilers), and strengthening fugitive 

dust controls. 

District staff has agreed to enhance its existing control measure on wood-burning 

fireplaces and woodstoves but has serious concerns over the feasibility and 

enforceability of the mandatory curtailment suggested by CARB staff and the 

uncertainty in ambient concentrations from wood-burning. Also, the District's 

control measure on commercial under-fired charbroilers has been strengthened to 

achieve additional PM2.5 reductions based on the installation of new and retrofit 

control equipment, similar to the proposed regulation currently being developed 

by the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District. However, despite these new 

reductions from measures proposed by District and SCAG, the PM2.5 standard 

can not be fully achieved by 2015, without additional reductions from mobile 

sources. In addition, inadequate initial steps would be made towards attainment of 

the new 24-hour PM2.5 standard and 8-hour ozone standard. 

Therefore, since not fully attaining the annual PM2.5 standard by 2015 is not an 

acceptable or legally allowed public policy, the District staff is proposing that 

CARB commit to the additional 4.1 tons per day of NOx reductions from mobile 

sources to close the reduction gap for PM2.5 attainment by 2015. These NOx 

reductions will also be critically needed for achieving the 8-hour ozone and the 

24-hour PM2.5 standards and making expeditious progress to implement all 

feasible measures. The District staff's proposal represents a combination of 

possible regulatory actions and public funding programs which could be used by 

CARB to achieve the additional NOx reductions. District staff believes these 

measures are feasible. 

4) Funding Availability - Substantial expenditures will be required in order to 

implement the strategies in the 2007 AQMP. The overall costs of implementing 

the control measures proposed in the Draft 2007 AQMP are expected to be in the 

billions of dollars. In-use mobile source fleet modernizations, accelerated 

retirement of high-emitting vehicles and equipment, alternative fuels and their 

infrastructure, advanced retrofits, facility modernization, and product 

reformulations and replacements are among strategies which require significant 

levels of expenditures. However, the economic values of avoiding adverse health i , f* -1 i 
effects are projected to be many times higher than the implementation cost of 

clean air strategies. In addition, the District staff believes the most effective use of 

public funding is to focus on early compliance and economic hardship in 

combination with regulatory requirements. 

In order to meet the federal PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone ambient air quality standards, 

a significant amount of public and private funding will be required to implement 

some measures. A close collaboration among all stakeholders, government 

agencies, businesses, and residents would be critical to identify and secure 

adequate funding sources for implementing the AQMP control measures. 

CEQA 

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines 9 15 168, the 

AQMD has prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the 2007 Air 

Quality Management Plan. The Draft PEIR was released for a 45-day public review and 

comment period beginning on March 2,2007, and ending on April 17,2007. The Draft 

PEIR analyzed potential adverse impacts from implementing AQMP control measures in 

the following environmental areas: air quality; energy; hazards and hazardous materials; 

hydrology and water quality; and solid/hazardous waste. Responses to all comments 

received have been prepared and incorporated into the Final PEIR for the proposed 

project. Finally, since significant adverse environmental impacts and mitigation 

measures were identified for the proposed project, a Statement of Findings, a Statement 

of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring Plan were prepared in 

accordance with the requirements of CEQA (Attachment 2 to the Board Resolution). 

Socioeconomic Analysis 

The socioeconomic analysis of the 2007 AQMP includes the cost, benefit, and other 

socioeconomic impacts of meeting the federal and state air quality standards. The 

analysis is presented at the sub-county level (19 regions within the four-county area). 

Compliance with the federal annual PM2.5 and ozone standards and progress toward the 

state standards, including the state visibility standard, is projected to result in an average 

annual benefit of $14.6 billion. The $14.6 billion includes roughly $634 million for 

averted illness and $9.1 billion for averted premature deaths, $966 million for congestion 

relief, $3.6 billion for visibility improvements, $204 million for reduced damage to 

materials, and $1 8 million for increased crop yields. Not all of the benefits associated 

with the implementation of the 2007 AQMP can be quantified. The health benefit does 

not account for reduced emissions from pollutants other than PM2.5 and ozone. Neither 

have reductions in vehicle hours traveled for personal trips and damages to plants, 

livestock, and forests been quantified. 
The projected annual implementation cost of the draft final Plan is $2.3 billion annually, 

on average. Transportation control measures alone contribute to 19 percent of the total 

cost with stationary source measures accounting for 5 percent of the total costs. A 

regional economic modeling was conducted to assess the AQMP economic impacts. 

Implementation of the 2007 AQMP as proposed could result in a net job gain due to clean 

air and avoided health effects. Eastern Los Angeles County areas are expected to have 

the largest share of benefit due to improvements in air quality and Southern Los Angeles 

County areas are expected to bear the highest control costs. Other socioeconornic 

parameters, such as competitiveness, occupational shifts, and price of consumption goods 

are not expected to have a significant change due to plan implementation. 

The 2007 AQMP submitted for the Governing Boards' consideration consists of the 

documents entitled: 

Draft 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (October 2006) including the following 

appendices: 

o Appendix I - Health Effects (October 2006)

Report on the 2007 AQMP, including the NOP and Initial Study and responses to 

comments on the NOP and Initial Study, was prepared and released for a 45-day public 

comment period, setting forth the potential adverse environmental impacts of adopting 

and implementing the 2007 AQMP; and 

WHEREAS, the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 

AQMP is revised 'based on comments received and modifications to the draft 2007 

AQMP such that it is now a Final Program Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 

AQMP; and 

WHEREAS, none of the modifications to the 2007 AQMP alter any of the 

conclusions reached in the Drafl Program EIR, nor provide new information of 

substantial importance that would require recirculation of the Draft Program EIR 

pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 5 15088.5; and 

WHEREAS, it is necessary that the adequacy of the Final Program 

Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 AQMP be determined by the South Coast Air 

Quality Management Governing Board prior to its certification; and 

WHEREAS, it is necessary that the adequacy of responses to all 

comments received on the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 

AQMP be determined prior to its certification; and 
WHEREAS, the provisions of Public Resources Code 521081.6 - 

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting - require the preparation and adoption of 

implementation plans for monitoring and reporting measures to mitigate adverse 

environmental impacts identified in environmental documents; and 

WHEREAS, staff has prepared such a plan which sets forth the adverse 

environmental impacts, mitigation measures, methods, and procedures for monitoring 

and reporting mitigation measures, and agencies responsible for monitoring mitigation 

measure, which is included as Attachment 2 to the Resolution and incorporated herein 

by reference; and 

WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing 

Board voting on this Resolution has reviewed and considered the Final Program 

Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 AQMP, including responses to comments on 

the Draft Program Environmental Impact Report on the 2007 AQMP, the Statement of 

Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and the Mitigation Monitoring and 

Reporting Plan; and 

WHEREAS, the Draft Socioeconomic Report on the 2007 AQMP was 

prepared and released for public review and comment; and 

WHEREAS, the Draft Socioeconomic Report for the 2007 AQMP is 

-revised based on comments received and modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP such 

that it is now a Final Socioeconomic Report for the 2007 AQMP; and 

WHEREAS, the 2007 AQMP includes every feasible measure and an 

expeditious adoption schedule; and 

WHEREAS, the CARB and the U.S. EPA have the responsibility to 

control emissions fiom mobile sources, motor vehicle hels, and a number of other 

source categories under their jurisdiction representing over 70 percent of ozone 

precursor emissions in 2014, and 

WHEREAS, significant emission reductions must be achieved fiom 

sources under state and federal jurisdiction for the South Coast Air Basin to attain the 

federal air quality standards; and 

WHEREAS, the formal deadline for submission of the ozone attainment 

plan is June 15,2007, and the formal deadline for submission of the PM2.5 plan is April 

5, 2008 therefore, technically speaking, the PM2.5 plan is not due until 2008, whereas, 

the annual PM2.5 attainment date (i.e., 2015) is earlier than the 8-hour ozone of 2021 or 

2024, in order to design the most efficient path to clean air, it is imperative that an 

integrated plan including both PM2.5 and ozone be developed, whereas, if attainment of 

the annual PM2.5 standard was not considered in designing the overall control strategy, 

the pathway to lower ozone levels and attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard would 

be more based towards lowering VOC emissions first, and whereby, this approach 
would seriously jeopardize the PM2.5 attainment by 2015 (which relies on significant 

NOx reductions) if the PM2.5 plan submittal was to be delayed until 2008; and 

WHEREAS; under its current non-attainment classification, the District is 

prohibited from relying on "black-box" measures to demonstrate attainment, and despite 

the aggressive strategy proposed for the South Coast Air Basin, the area will not meet 

the 8-hour ozone standard by 2021 without the use of "black box" measures, and 

whereas, the Coachella Valley will not be able to meet the 8-hour ozone standard by 

2013, where the ozone problem is predominately a transport issue from the upwind 

South Coast Air Basin; and 

WHEREAS, for any non-attainment area, the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

provides for voluntary reclassification of such areas to a higher classification by 

submitting a request for "bump-up," whereby, '%lack box" measures may be 

incorporated into the attainment demonstration for areas classified as "extreme"; and 

WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing 

Board finds there is a need to take immediate action regarding a state of emergency for 

the South Coast Air Basin to address the air quality health crisis, and 

WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing 

Board directs staff to move expeditiously to adopt and implement feasible new control 

measures to achieve long-term reductions while meeting all applicable public notice and 

other regulatory development requirements; and 

WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing 

Board requests that CARB actively support the District's efforts to obtain additional 

regulatory authority over sources not primarily under the District's jurisdiction, 

including mobile sources and products; and 

WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has held 

nine public workshops on the Draft 2007 AQMP, four public workshops on the 

Proposed Modifications to the Draft 2007 AQMP, fifteen AQMP Advisory and STMPR 

Advisory Committee meetings, five public hearings throughout the four-county region, 

and one adoption hearing pursuant to section 40466 of the Health and Safety Code; and 

WHEREAS, the record of the public hearing proceedings is located at 

South Coast Air Quality Management District, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, 

California 91 765, and the custodian of the record is the Clerk of the Board; and 

WHEREAS, the record of the CEQA proceedings is located at South 

Coast Air Quality Management District, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California 

91765, and the custodian of the record is the Assistant Deputy Executive Officer, 

Planning, Rule Development, and Area Sources. 
WHEREAS, the SCAQMD has conducted an active and effective 

regulatory program that has successfUlly reduced air pollution in the South Coast Air 

Basin, with recent years registering the lowest levels since measurements began five 

decades ago; and 

WHEREAS, said emission reduction programs have effectively improved 

air quality in the South Coast Air Basin for particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in 

diameter (PM2.5) and for 8-hr ozone; and 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD's 2007 Air Quality Management Plan 

(AQMP) identifies substantial new emission reductions that are needed to attain the 

more stringent ambient air quality standards for 8-hr ozone and particulate matter less 

than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA); and 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD's 2007 AQMP shows that regulatory 

programs alone will not provide the emission reductions needed to meet the federal 

Clean Air Act requirements for the federal 8-hr ozone and PM2.5 standards; and 

WHEREAS, to meet these more stringent requirements, the SCAQMD 

will need emission reductions from sources outside of its primary regulatory authority 

and from sources that may lack, in some cases, the financial wherewithal to implement 

technology with reduced air pollutant emissions; and, 

WHEREAS, the Carl Moyer Program allows the SCAQMD to achieve 

emission reductions from these types of sources; and, 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD's past experience demonstrates that 

substantial reductions in actual emissions can be cost-effectively achieved through 

implementation of the Carl Moyer Program; and, . 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD's 2007 AQMP identifies a control measure 

for including emission reductions from past and hture projects fUnded by the Carl 

Moyer Program for SIP purposes; and 

WHEREAS, U.S. EPA requires that all incentive-based reductions be 

surplus to those obtained from regulations, quantifiable, enforceable, and permanent for 

the life of the project for inclusion in the SIP; and 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD will ensure the emission reductions obtained 

through projects hnded by the Carl Moyer Program will meet the above minimum 

federal requirements for inclusion in the SIP; and 

WHEREAS, the Board adopted a Policies and Procedures Manual for 

Administration of the Carl Moyer Program on October 6, 2006, which contains the 

SCAQMD's procedures for selection, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of 

projects knded by the Carl Moyer Program; and 
WHEREAS, the Board directs staff to abide by said procedures for 

administration and implementation of the Carl Moyer Program; and 

WHEREAS, an appropriate public comment period was allowed prior to 

the Board's adoption of the Policies and Procedures Manual for Administration of the 

Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standard Attainment Program; and a 30-day public 

comment period opportunity for hearing has been provided prior to submitting these 

policy and procedures to EPA; and 

WHEREAS, the SCAQMD will ensure that all projects selected for 

funding through the Carl Moyer Program will comply with the project criteria and other 

requirements specified in the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines developed by the 

California Air Resources Board (CARB); and I 

WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Governments has 

requested that the District Governing Board delay action on the Goods Movement 

Control Measures (High Speed Transport System and Truck-Only Lanes) to July 13, 

2007 in order to tallow SCAG to complete any necessary consultation process; and 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the SCAQMD will take 

all actions necessary to ensure that emission reductions resulting fiom projects funded 

by the Carl Moyer Program will meet U.S. 'EPA criteria (surplus, quantifiable, 

enforceable, and permanent for life of project) and requirements for SIP creditability to 

meet federal Clean Air Act requirements. The specific commitments that the SCAQMD 

will meet to ensure the reductions obtained through implementation of the Carl Moyer 

Program will meet federal Clean Air Act requirements are as follows: 

1. The SCAQMD will implement projects funded by the Carl Moyer Program 

through legally enforceable contracts between the SCAQMD and the 

grantee. These contracts will specify the emission reductions anticipated 

for the project and describe the actions that the grantee must take to achieve . 

those reductions. The SCAQMD will seek enforcement of the terms of the 

contracts against non-compliant sources to obtain the agreed-upon 

reductions or may reallocate any returned funds to a new project or use 

excess reductions fiom a different project funded by the Carl Moyer 

Program to obtain the necessary reductions. 

2. The SCAQMD will ensure that all emission reductions calculated for 

projects funded by the Carl Moyer Program will be done using est.ablished 

protocols for the Carl Moyer Program. The SCAQMD will use the 

quantification protocols specified in the Carl Moyer Program Guidelines in 

effect at the time of project award to calculate creditable emission 

reductions for.use in the SIP. 

3. The SCAQMD will verify surplus emission reductions through a 

comprehensive inspection, monitoring and reporting program for each 
project funded by the Carl Moyer Program, and only surplus emission 

reductions will be credited to the SIP, 

4. The SCAQMD will continue to conduct onsite inspections and other 

monitoring activities for each project funded by the Carl Moyer Program to 

enforce the required reductions. Each project will undergo a pre- and postinspection to verify the project was implemented according to the terms of 

the contract. Digital photographs will be taken during the field inspections 

to verify project conditions. In addition, the SCAQMD requires the grantee 

to submit annual reports for at least five years following the project 

implementation. After the five-year annual reporting period, the grantee is 

required to submit biannual reports for the remaining life of the project. For 

any project funded by the Carl Moyer Program that did not submit its 

required annual report, the SCAQMD will field inspect the said project 

within six months of the final due date of the annual report and may 

continue with on-site monitoring of the project until the annual report is 

submitted. 

5. The SCAQMD will conduct random audits on at least ten percent of the 

projects funded by the Carl Moyer Program. Project audits will also be 

performed when the grantee fails to submit an annual report. The audit 

includes verification that the project is still operational and is meeting the 

terms of the contract including the equipment usage requirements. This is 

accomplished by, but not limited to: checking the serial number on the 

engine, witnessing engine operation, checking the odometer reading or 

other device/method used to track and report equipment usage. 

6. The SCAQMD will prepare and submit annual reports to the U.S. EPA by 

November 3om of each calendar year for the preceding Carl Moyer Program 

funding cycle and after Board approval. At a minimum, each annual report 

will contain the information required by CARB for the Carl Moyer Program 

annual reports. The report will also include the amount of actual emission 

reductions versus predicted emission reductions, a discussion of any 

quantification or surplus issues that have arisen during the reporting period 

and how they were resolved, a summary of any key issues from field 

inspections and audits, and include or reference publicly available 

information or records for each grant issued. 

7. If an annual report indicates a shortfall of emission reductions, the 

SCAQMD will flag the project and take appropriate action to ensure the 

contracted emission reductions are realized. The SCAQMD will hold the 

grantee responsible for offsetting the shortfall by using any excess 

reductions generated over the life of the project or the project life may be 

extended until the required emission reductions are achieved. In the event 

the shortfall cannot be remedied by the project, the grantee will be subject 
to the stipulated penalties in the contract and required to return a prorated 

share of the funds provided by Carl Moyer Program. The SCAQMD may 

consider reallocating the returned funds to a new project or using excess 

reductions fiom a different project funded by the Carl Moyer Program to 

obtain the necessary reductions. The returned funds may be used to fund an 

eligible project that was placed on a back-up list. SCAQMD creates a backup list of eligible projects when the requested funds by all projects exceed 

the available funding limits. Projects on the back-up list have already been 

approved by the Board in the event a selected project cannot be completed 

and to ensure that all Carl Moyer Program funds are fully encumbered and 

expended within the requested timebes. 

8. The remedy used to makeup any shortfall in emission reductions will be 

described in the annual report submitted to the U.S. EPA. The SCAQMD 

will separately track and report on any reductions that are tied to 

transportation conformity emissions budgets, and will work with local 

agencies to remedy specific shortfalls to the emissions budgets if needed. 

9. The SCAQMD will use information fkom annual reports and field 

inspections to track actual emission reductions fkom projects funded by the 

Carl Moyer Program on a real-time basis, and will provide quality-assured 

data on such emission reductions to the public annually via website posting. 

The real-time tracking and evaluation of emission reductions fkom projects 

funded by the Carl Moyer Program will ensure the projects are meeting the 

program requirements and achieving the required emission reductions. 

10. The Board hereby finds, based on evidence and information presented at the 

meeting upon which its decision is based, that all notices required to be 

given by law have been duly given, and that the Board has allowed public 

testimony. 

1 1. Adoption of these commitments is necessary to identify emission reductions 

for meeting the federal requirements for the 8-hr ozone and PM2.5 

standards and to therefore promote the health and welfare of the residents of 

the South Coast Air Basin. 

12. AQMD staff is hereby authorized to make any minor typographical and 

technical changes in the Resolution that are necessary to correct minor 

errors, clarify wording, or to satisfy CARB and U.S. EPA technical 

requirements. 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board hereby certifies that the Final Program 

Environmental Impact Report for the 2007 AQMP has been completed in compliance 

with the requirements of CEQA and finds that the Final Program Environmental Impact 

Report on the 2007 AQMP, including responses to comments, is adequate and thereby 

approves it. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board finds that the 2007 AQMP has the potential to 

generate significant adverse direct impacts to air quality and hazards and that all other 

direct impacts are either insignificant or will be mitigated to insignificance through 

mitigation measures incorporated into the project and adopted in Attachment 2 to the 

Resolution. Cumulative significant impacts with the 2004 RTP (which is incorporated 

into the 2007 AQMP for TCMs) are : aesthetics, agricultural resources, air 

quality/construction, biological resources, cultural resources, energy impacts 

(transportation-related), geology erosion, hazards/transport hydrology/water supply and 

demand, land use, noise, popularity, public services, recreation, and 

transportationltraffic. There are no feasible alternatives or mitigation measures that can 

reduce the remaining significant impacts to insignificance since all feasible mitigation 

measures have already been identified and any other project alternative which would 

avoid these impacts would not achieve the project goals of attainment of state and 

federal ambient air quality standards by the earliest practicable date or within federal 

attainment deadlines. The District hereby adopts findings with supporting statements of 

fact for each significant effect, as set forth in Attachment 2 to the Resolution, attached 

and incorporated herein by reference. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the District will develop, adopt, 

submit, and implement the short- and mid-term control measures as identified in Tables 

4-2A and 4-2B of the 2007 AQMP (Main Document) as expeditiously as possible in 

order to meet or exceed the commitments identified in Table 4-1 0 of the 2007 AQMP 

(Main Document), and to substitute any other measures as necessary to make up any 

emission reduction shortfall. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, in addition, in order to achieve the longterm emission reduction commitments, the District will identify and implement new 

control strategies through mechanisms which include, but are not limited to: 1) Annual 

Technology Assessment Workshops; 2) Emissions Inventory Updates/Studies; 3) VOC 

Reactivity Studies; 4) Periodic BACT Evaluations, and 5) Collaboration with State 

Agencies on Concurrent Reductions. The District staff will report to the Governing 

Board biennially on this progress. 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that in order to respond to the need for * 

additional PM ERCs under the District's NSR program, the District will work with 

stakeholders to identify innovative solutions of ERC generation. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the District commits to update AQMP 

emissions inventories, baseline assumptions and control measures as needed to ensure 

that the best available data is utilized and attainment needs are met. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the District commits to continue working 

with the ports on the AQMP emissions targets for the ports, and as part of an annual 

report to the Board regarding the progress of the ports in implementing the Clean Air 

Action Plan (CAAP), District staff will recommend any appropriate adjustments to the 

AQMP emissions targets. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board, pursuant to the requirements of Title 14 

California Code of Regulations, hereby adopts the Statement of Findings pursuant to 

$ 1509 1, and adopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to $15093, 

included in Attachment 2 and incorporated by reference. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board, hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and 

Reporting Plan, as required by Public Resources Code, Section 2 1081.6, attached hereto 

and incorporated by reference. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board finds that the mobile source control measures 

contained in Appendix IV-B-2 are technically feasible and cost-effective and requests 

that CARB consider them in any future rulemaking. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board finds that transportation emission budgets are 

"consistent with applicable requirements for reasonable further progress, attainment, or 

maintenance (whichever is relevant to the given implementation plan submission)" 

pursuant to 40 CFR 93.1 18(e)(4)(iv). 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Executive Officer is hereby 

directed to finalize the 2007 AQMP including the main document, appendices, and 

related documents as adopted at the June 1,2007 public hearing. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board, adopts the 2007 AQMP dated June 1, 2007 

consisting of the document entitled 2007 AQMP as amended by the final changes set 

forth by the South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board and the 

associated documents listed in Attachment 1 to this Resolution, the Final 

Socioeconomic Report for the 2007 AQMP; the Final Program EIR for the 2007 
AQMP, and the Statements of Findings and Overriding Considerations and Mitigation 

Monitoring Plan. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Executive Officer is hereby directed 

to work with CARB and the U.S. EPA to ensure expeditious approval of this 2007 

AQMP as a single integrated plan for PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone attainment. 

Furthermore, this plan is only being submitted on an integrated PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone 

basis. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the South Coast Air Quality Management 

District Governing Board directs staff to request that CARB formally submit a request 

to U.S. EPA for voluntary redesignation (bump-up) of the South Coast Air Basin from a 

designation of "severe-17" to "extreme" for 8-hour ozone and modify the attainment 

date to June 15,2024. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the District is also requesting that CARB 

formally submit a request to U.S. EPA for voluntary redesignation of the Coachella 

Valley Portion of the Air Basin from a designation of "serious" to "severe-15" for 8- 

hour average ozone and modify the attainment date to June 15,20 19. 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District Governing Board, requests that the 2007 AQMP serve as the SIP 

submittal for the 8-hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan including the 

Reasonable Further Progress Demonstration, Reasonably Available Control Measures 

(RACM) and Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determinations for the 

8-hour ozone and PM2.5 standards for the South Coast Air Basin and Coachella Valley, 

revision to the Carbon Monoxide Attainment Demonstration Plan for the South Coast 

Air Basin, revision to the Nitrogen Dioxide Maintenance Plan for the South Coast Air
