The federal Clean AirAct (Act) requires states to prepare baseline emission inventories for all areas designated as exceeding a National AmbientAir Quality Standard within two years ofthe designation. In 2008, U.S. EPA strengthened the ambient air quality standardsfor 8-hour ground-level ozone from 0.08 to 0.075 parts per million. As of July20, 2012, U.S. EPA completed area designationsforthe 2008 ozone standard and classified the following areas as either marginal, moderate, serious, severe, or extreme. These California non-attainment areas are the South CoastAir Basin, San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Metropolitan Region, Western Mojave Desert, Coachella Valley, Ventura County, San Diego County, Imperial County, Eastern Kern County, East San Luis Obispo County, Western Nevada County, Mariposa County, Butte County, Calaveras County, Tuscan Buttes, and San Francisco BayArea. Based upon the July20, 2012 designation date, the baseline emission inventoriesforthese areas are due by July 20, 2014. · The baseline inventories forthese areas focus on the warmer and driersummer months (May-October) because the attainment challenges forthe ozone NAAQS in California occurduring these months. Accordinglythe 2012 baseline summerseason planningemission inventories (tons/day) forthe two precursors to ozone formation, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), have been compiled forthe sixteen non-attainment areas listed above. These ozone planning inventories, ifapproved by theARB, will be submitted to U.S. EPA as SIP submittals tomeetthe requirements ofthe Act.
