Subject: Revision to the California State

Implementation Plan for the South Coast Air Quality Management District Enclosed are five copies of a revision to The State of California Implementation Plan for Achieving and Maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This revision informs the Environmental Protection Agency of the addition of the eastern portion of Riverside County which is in the Southeast Desert Air Basin, into the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Since December 1, 1977, all SCAQMD Rules and Regulations have been applicable and are being enforced in this portion of Riverside County. I have enclosed the Riverside County Board of Supervisors’ Resolution 77-362 and the pertinent sections of the Health and Safety Code (included. as Appendix A to Chapter 3, Legal Authority, in the SIP) to confirm that this action took place pursuant to state law.

With this submittal, all related information necessary to complete the review of the Southeast Desert Air Basin Nonattainment Plan has been sent to the Environmental Protection Agency. Prompt evaluation of the plans will assure that all actions necessary for approval can be taken. Sincerely,

(d) That, in order to achieve and maintain air quality within the ambient air quality standards, a comprehensive basinwide air quality rcnagement plan must be developed and impi~mented to provide for the rapid abatement of e:dsting emission levels to levels which will result in the achievement and maintenance of the stateambientairqualitystandardsand to ensure that newsources ofemissions are planned and operated so as to be consistent with the basin’s air quality goals. (e) That, in ordertosuccessfullydevelopand implementa meaningful strategy forachievingand maintaining ambient airquality standards, local governments in the South Coast Air Basin must be delegated additional authority from the state

## August 6, 1980 Mr. Torn Austin Executive Officer California Air ~esources Board P.O. Box 2815 Sacramento, CA 95812 Dear Torn: Your staff has requested that I confirm the statement which harmon Wong-Woo quoted in his July 10, 1980 letter with respect to Regulation XIII, New Source Review. In that ARB letter, Harmon quoted a statement which we have used in connection with the Energy Commission’s hearings on the Cal Coal project: “Under Rule 1301(b), Regulation XIII is applicable to ‘areas of non-attainment of the national air quality standards for such non-attainment air contatninants.’ Rule 1302(c) defines air contaminant as ‘any air pollutant for which there is a national ambient air quality standard, or precursor to such pollutant.’ Rule 1300 states that for Regulation XIII. ‘all references to the national ambient air quality standards shall be interpreted to include state ambient air quality standards.’ Therefore, Regulation Xli! applies to ‘non-attainment’ of state standards. Moreover, it was staff’s intent to classify ‘area’ as either the South Coast I Basin or the Southeast Desert Air Basin taken as a whole. This interpretation is consistent with the EPA final ruling for new 

## or modified major stationary sources located in ‘clean pockets’ within a designated non-atta~nmcnt area, as it appeared in the May 13, 1980, Federal Register, Vol. 45, No. 94, Pages 31307-31312.” The statement which Harrncrn quoted is the way that we intend to implement Regulation Xlii with respect tothe state standards, precursors, and application to the two air ba~ins of the District. if you have any questions, with respect to this interprct.ation, please call Sanford Weiss at 213/572-6431. Si~were1y,
