CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO CONSIDER A REPORT ON REDUCTIONS ACHIEVED FROM INCENTIVE-BASED EMISSION REDUCTION MEASURES IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) will conduct a public meeting atthe time and place noted belowto consider a report on reductions achieved from incentive-based emission reduction measures in the San Joaquin Valley. lfapproved, this report will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) for inclusion in the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) as a demonstration supporting SIP creditability underthe approved SJV PM2.5 SIP. DATE: October 23, 2014 TIME: 9:00a.m. PLACE: South Coast Air Pollution Control District Auditorium 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 This item will be considered at a two-day meeting ofthe Board, which will commence at 9:00a.m., October 23, 2014, and may continue at 8:30a.m., on October 24, 2014. This item may not be considered until October 24, 2014. Please consult the agenda forthe meeting, which will be available at least 10 days before October 23, 2014, to determine the day on which this item will be considered. BACKGROUND In 2008, the Board adopted a SIP forthe San Joaquin Valleyto attain the 15 1Jg/m3 annual PM2.5 standard (SJV PM2.5 Plan). In 2011, ARB amended the SJV PM2.5 Plan and, on November 9, 2011, the U.S. EPA approved the amended SJV PM2.5 Plan. In the SJV PM2.5 Plan, ARB committed to achieve the aggregate emission reductions necessaryto reach the attainment emissions targets via ongoing reductions from the State's existing control program, new emission reduction measures described in the SIP, or alternative emission reduction measures including incentive programs. Implementation ofthe SJV PM2.5 Plan has led to the adoption of statewide rules and regulations as well as San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) rules that have achieved significant emission reductions in the San Joaquin Valley. These rules and regulations have been approved by U.S. EPA as part ofthe SJV PM2.5 Plan. ARB and the District have also been implementing incentive programs in the San Joaquin Valley that accelerate the purchase ofcleanertechnologies beyond thoseachieved by regulations alone. Specifically these are the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Moyer) and Proposition 1B: Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program (Prop 1B). In orderfor emission reductions from incentive programs to be credited toward fulfilling a SIP commitment, U.S. EPA guidance requires that reductions be quantifiable, surplus, enforceable and permanent. This report shows howemission reductions from the Moyer and Prop 1B programs satisfy these U.S. EPA requirements, and quantifies the emission reductions from these programs for projects that will be in place throughout the SJV PM2.5 Plan attainment year of2014. The report also demonstrates how the reductions meet U.S. EPA requirements for credittoward fulfilling the aggregate emission reductions commitment in the SJV PM2.5 Plan. Ifapproved by ARB, the proposed report on reductions achieved from incentive-based emission reduction measures in the San Joaquin Valley will be submitted to U.S. EPA for inclusion in the California SIP as required by the federal Clean AirAct. PROPOSED ACTION Staff recommends that the Board approve the Report on Incentive-based Emission Reduction Measures in the San Joaquin Valley and direct staffto submit the reportto U.S. EPA as a demonstration of SIP creditability of incentive-based reduction forthe SJV PM2.5 SIP. Copies ofthe ARB staff report will be available on September 22, 2014. These may be obtained from ARB's Public Information Office, 1001 I Street, First Floor, Environmental Services Center, Sacramento, California, 95814, (916) 322-2990.
