MANAGEMENT DISTRICT 

WHEREAS, Sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the federal Clean Air Act require districts in 

ozone nonattainment areas to implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for 

all source categories for which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published 

a Control Technique Guideline (CTG) document and for major sources of volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx); and 

WHEREAS, the District was designated as nonattainment for the federal 8-hour ozone 

air quality standard with a classification of serious, effective June 15, 2004 (69 FR 23857); and 

WHEREAS, EPA published the final Phase 2 Rule to implement the 8-hour ozone air 

quality standard on November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71611), which includes a federal requirement 

(40 CFR 51.912) for the District to submit a revision to the Ozone State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) that meets the RACT requirements of Sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the federal Clean 

Air Act; and 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 

Management District has considered the Staff Report for Analysis of Reasonably Available 

Control Technology for the 8-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (RACT SIP), September 

26, 2006, which presents an analysis of the District's rules and regulations that implement 

RACT for the required source categories and major sources of VOC and/or NOx (as defined in 

Sections 182(c) and 182(f) of the federal Clean Air Act); and 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 

Management District held a duly noticed public hearing on October 26, 2006 in accordance with 

Section 110 (1) of the federal Clean Air Act and considered public comments on the proposed 

revision to the Ozone SIP: and 

WHEREAS, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) 

of the State CEQA Guidelines exempts projects for which it can be seen with certainty that there 

is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the 

environment. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THIS BOARD determines that the 

proposed revision to the Ozone SIP meets the requirements of Sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of 

the federal Clean Air Act and the requirements of 40 CFR 51.912, and that the inclusion of a 

source-specific permit in the SIP revision satisfies the RACT requirement for a major source by 

11111.
