BE1 WHEREAS, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA") promulgated the 1997

2 National Ambient Air Quality Standard ("NAAQS") for ozone with 

### an 8-hour averaging time of 3 0.08 parts per million and determined that the 8-hour ozone standard is necessary in order to protect 4 public health (Federal Register, Vol. 62, No. 138, pages 2-37 (July 18, 1997); and 5 6 Whereas, the Sacramento Nonattainment Area ("SNA"), includes all of Sacramento and Yolo 7 counties and part of the Placer, El Dorado, Solano, and Sutter County (Federal Register, Vol. 69, 8 No. 84, pages 23858-23951 (April 30, 2004)); and 0 1 1 10 WHEREAS, the SNA exceeds the primary NAAQS for 8-hour ozone, and was designated 11 nonattainment for ozone with a classification of "Serious" and an attainment deadline of June 15, 12 2013 (Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 84, pages 23858-24000 (April 30, 2004)); and 13 14 WHEREAS, the USEPA published its Final Rule to Implement the 8-Hour Ozone National 15 Ambient Air Quality Standard, which requires nonattainment areas classified "Serious and above" 16 to demonstrate reasonable further progress ("RFP") toward attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 17 standard (Federal Register, Vol. 70, No. 228, pages 71611-71705 (November 29, 2005) and 42 USC 18 §7511 a (c)(2)(B)); and 19 20 WHEREAS, the Placer County Air Pollution Control District, El Dorado County Air Quality 21 Management District, Feather River Air Quality Management District, Sacramento Metropolitan 22 Air Quality Management District, and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District determined 23 that the SNA could not meet the 2013 attainment deadline for "Serious" nonattainment areas; and 24 25 WHEREAS, on February 14, 2008, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), on behalf of the 26 SNA Districts, requested that the USEPA reclassify the SNA from a"Serious" to a"Severe" ozone 27 nonattainment classification with an extended attainment deadline of June 15, 2019 (42 USC §7511 28 (b)(3)); and 29

-2-1 WHEREAS, the SNA Districts have prepared the proposed Sacramento Regional 8-Hour Ozone

2 Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan ("Plan") to satisfy the attainment and remaining 3 reasonable further progress demonstration requirements associated with a"Severe" classification 4 (42 USC §7502 (c).and §7511 a); and 5 6 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan shows that ambient ozone air quality is improving in the SNA; and 7 8 NVHEREAS, emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are 9 precursor pollutants to ozone formation 

## in the ambient air; and 10 11 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan updates the 2002 base year and emissions inventory forecasts for 12 VOC and NOx, and indicates significant declines in emissions; and 13 14 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan demonstrates that existing control strategies and approved control 15 measure commitrnents will provide the future VOC and NOx emission reductions necessary to meet 16 the federal Clean Air Act requirements for reasonable further progress for the 2011, 2014, 2017, and 17 2018 milestone years (42 USC §7511 a (c)(2)(B)); and 18 19 WHEREAS, photochemical modeling conducted by CA.RB predicts lower future ozone levels, but 20 concludes that additional emission reductions are needed to attain the federal8-hour ozone standard 21 , by the mandated deadline (42 USC §751 la (c)(2)(A)); and 22 23 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan documents and recommends adoption and implementation of new 24 state, regional, and local reasonably available control measures necessary to attain the ozone 25 standard as expeditiously as practicable and no later than 2018 (42 USC §7502 (c)(1) and §7511 26 (a)(1)); and 27 28 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan includes commitments to achieve 3 tons per day of VOC and 3 tons 29 per day of NOx reductions ffom new regional and local control measures and includes a specific

; -3-1 commitment to achieve emission reductions from the Regional Mobile On-road Incentive Program

2 for 0.1 ton per day of VOC and 0.7 ton per day of NOx in 2011; 0.1 ton per day of VOC and 0. 8 ton 3 per day of NOx in 2014; 0.9 ton per day of NOx in 2017 and 2018; and El 5 WHEREAS, the proposed Plan sets new 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2018 Motor Vehicle Emission 6 Budgets for transportation conformity purposes and updates future airport emissions for general 7 conformity purposes consistent with attainment and reasonable further progress requirements (42 8 USC §7506); and 9 10 wHEREAS, as lead agency, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District 11 prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report ("DEIR"), dated September 2008, State 12 Clearinghouse No. 2006102136, to analyze potential environmental impacts arising from the 13 proposed Plan; and 14 15 wHEREAS, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District consulted with the 16 Placer County Air Pollution Control District, a responsible agency, during the environmental review 17 process as required by Section 15096 of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") 18 Guidelines ; and 19 20 wHEREAS, the DEIR concluded that the Plan would have no significant adverse environmental 21 impacts, so no mitigation measures are required; and 22 23 wHEREAS, the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District duly published notice 24 of the availability of the DEIR and Draft Plan and held a noticed public workshop on September 25, 25 2008 to receive public comment on those documents; and 26 27 WHEREAS, minor revisions to the Draft Plan and DEIR were made in response to recent 28 information and comments received; and
