Dear Mr. Blumenfeld:

Enclosed are revisions to the State of California Implementation Plan for Achieving and 

Maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (SIP). Two compact discs and 

two paper copies, each containing the revisions in their entirety, are enclosed. 

These revisions consist of adopted and amended rules of the following air pollution 

control and air quality management districts (districts):

Placer County Air Pollution Control District

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District

South Coast Air Quality Management District

Also enclosed is the Air Resources Board (ARB) Executive Order S-11-024 adopting 

the districts’ rules as revisions to the SIP. The districts are authorized to adopt and 

enforce the rules by California Health and Safety Code section 40001. ARB is 

authorized to adopt the rules as revisions to the SIP by Health and Safety Code 

section 39601, 39602, and 41650 through 41652. Enclosure A lists the specific rules 

that were adopted or amended by the districts and that have been adopted as revisions 

to the SIP by ARB through Executive Order S-11-024.

To meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) criteria for determining 

that rule submittals are administratively and technically complete, we have enclosed 

evaluations of the effects of the rules on emissions, evaluations of the rules’ consistency 

with 40 CFR 51, and other supporting documentation provided to us to date by the 

districts. We have made every reasonable effort to obtain from the districts all 

documentation necessary to comply with U.S. EPA’s SIP Completeness Policy. 

Mr. Jared Blumenfeld
