The following items on the consent calendar will be presented to the Board immediately after the start of the public meeting, unless removed from the consent calendar either upon a Board member’s request or if someone in the audience wishes to speak on them.
The Board will consider adopting the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District 2017 Ozone Attainment Plan for the federal 75 ppb 8-hour ozone standard. If adopted, the California Air Resources Board will submit this plan to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan.
The Board will consider adopting amendments to the California Evaluation Procedures for New Aftermarket Catalytic Converters to allow use of these procedures on Low-Emission Vehicle III vehicles.
Spanish translation will be provided at the Board Meeting for this item, Item 17-9-3.
The Board will hear an update on the development of the comprehensive PM2.5 State Implementation Plan for the San Joaquin Valley, including the proposed strategy for meeting multiple PM2.5 standards. The Board will also consider the attainment contingency measure for the 15 µg/m3 annual PM2.5 standard in the San Joaquin Valley. If the revision is adopted, the California Air Resources Board will submit it to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan.
The Board will hear an update to the California Air Resources Board enforcement policy. CARB is updating its policy partly to respond to Assembly Bill 1685 (2016) which, among other things, increases the maximum penalties for mobile source violations and clarifies how those penalties can be applied. In addition to updating the current policy to address Assembly Bill 1685, staff is taking this opportunity to develop a more comprehensive enforcement policy; providing more clarity on compliance resources available, CARB’s enforcement process, considerations in determining appropriate penalties, voluntary disclosure considerations, minor violations, and public communication and information protection.
The Board will hear an update on the findings from a recently concluded research study investigating the Methane ‘Hot Spot’ and potential super-emitters across the state that was conducted pursuant to Assembly Bill 1496.
