Discussion: As described in Section 3.3.2 of the 2008 Owens Valley PM10 Planning Area Demonstration of Attainment

State lmplementation Plan, the District's Owens Lake Health Advisory Program has been successfully alerting the public at

times when unhealthy levels of PM'10 pollution occur since 1995. Rule 701 - Air Pollution Episode Plan, further improves

and refines this heafth alert system. Rule 701 defines episode criteria for both PM10 and PM2.5, provides public notification

procedures, recommends precautionary actions for the public and details specific District requirements when episode criteria

levels are exceeded.
