41652.  If, after the public hearing, the state board finds that the nonattainment area plan approved by the designated air quality planning agencies does not comply with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 7401 et seq.), the state board may adopt such revisions as necessary to comply with such requirements, except as otherwise provided in Article 5.5 (commencing with Section 53098) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code.(Amended by Stats. 1981, Ch. 564.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 42500 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 4.5 - Protect California Air Act of 2003|Section 42500.

42500.  This chapter shall be known, and may be cited, as the Protect California Air Act of 2003.(Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 476, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2004.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 42502 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 4.5 - Protect California Air Act of 2003|Section 42502.

42502.  The Legislature further finds and declares all of the following:(a)  The people of the State of California have a primary interest in safeguarding the air quality in the state from degradation and in ensuring the enhancement of the air quality of the state. (b)  Emissions from nonvehicular sources are a significant contributing factor to unhealthful levels of air pollution in California. These emissions must be controlled to protect public health and the environment, and to allow the economic benefits of new and expanded business in this state without compromising those important goals. (c)  Under state law, air quality management districts and air pollution control districts have primary responsibility for controlling air pollution caused by nonvehicular sources, including stationary sources. The primary mechanism for controlling pollution from new and modified stationary sources is the existing new source review program of the districts. The application of the new source review programs requires that all new and modified sources, unless specifically exempted, must apply control technology and offset emissions increases as a condition of receiving a permit. (d)  The districts generally require the application of the lowest achievable emission rate, also known as California BACT, to achieve the necessary level of emission control from new or modified sources. (e)  The requirement for California BACT, offsets, and other requirements are set out in the rules and regulations adopted by the districts to establish the new source review program. These rules and regulations, which typically are more stringent than the minimum requirements established by federal law, are reviewed and approved by the state board and transmitted to the U.S. E.P.A. for inclusion in the SIP. (f)  The districts have one of the most effective new source review programs in the nation, with requirements for advanced emission control technology on new and expanding sources as its foundation. This technology-based program succeeds by requiring application of emission control technology at the time of construction or when a source undergoes a significant modification, which maximizes the emission reduction benefits and reduces costs. (g)  With this and other programs, California has been able to improve air quality despite increases in population, industrial output, and motor vehicle use. However, significant areas of the state still do not meet the federal or state ambient air quality standards, which are set at levels necessary to protect public health and welfare. Any rollback of the new source review program, as a result of the federal “reforms,” would exacerbate the continuing air pollution challenges faced by the state and delay attainment of the state and federal ambient air quality standards. (Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 476, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2004.)

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 4.5 - Protect California Air Act of 2003|Section 42503.

42503.  The purposes of this chapter are all of the following:(a)  To attain and maintain state and federal ambient air quality standards by the earliest practicable date. (b)  To protect public health and welfare from any actual or potential adverse effect which reasonably may be anticipated to occur from air pollution. (c)  To preserve, protect and enhance the air quality in national parks, national wilderness areas, national monuments, national seashores, and other areas of special national or regional natural, recreational, scenic, or historic value. (d)  To ensure that economic growth will occur in a manner consistent with the preservation of existing clean air resources. (e)  To ensure that emissions from any source in the state will not interfere with any portion of the applicable implementation plan to prevent significant deterioration of air quality for this or any other state. (f)  To ensure that any decision to permit increased air pollution in any area to which this chapter applies is made only after careful evaluation of all the consequences of that decision and after adequate procedural opportunities for informed public participation in the decisionmaking process.

CA Health & Safety Code § 42700 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 5 - Monitoring Devices|Section 42700.

42700.  (a)  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that stationary sources of air pollution are known to emit significant amounts of pollutants into the air, but that existing sampling techniques are not sufficiently precise to permit accurate measurement. The Legislature further finds and declares that more accurate data will improve the design of strategies for the control of pollutants in the most cost-effective manner. (b)  The Legislature further finds and declares that public complaints about excessive emissions from stationary sources are difficult or impossible to evaluate in the absence of adequate means of monitoring emissions on a continuing basis. The Legislature further finds and declares that, although the state board and the districts are authorized under Sections 41511 and 42303 to require stationary sources of air contaminants to install and operate monitoring devices to measure and record continuously the emissions concentration and amount of any specified pollutant, many districts have failed to exercise that authority. (c)  The Legislature further finds and declares that all districts, especially the bay district, the districts located, in whole or part, within the South Coast Air Basin, and the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District, should be encouraged to require that monitoring devices be installed in each stationary source of air contaminants that emits into the atmosphere 100 tons or more each year of nonmethane hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, reduced sulfur compounds, or particulate matter or 1,000 tons or more each year of carbon monoxide. (d)  The Legislature further finds and declares that, pursuant to Section 39616, the south coast district has required the installation of a substantial number of monitoring devices and the installation and use of strip chart recorders for compliance purposes. However, electronic or computer data capture and storage is generally less costly and may have the capability to provide greater data availability with the same degree of security. (e)  To encourage the districts to take actions to monitor emissions of stationary sources as described in this section, the state board shall determine the availability, technological feasibility, and economic reasonableness of monitoring devices for those stationary sources as provided by Section 42701. (f)  To make emissions data available to the public and to minimize burdens on the private sector, the districts shall allow stationary sources the option of using electronic or computer data storage for purposes of compliance with Section 39616. (Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 618, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 1997.)

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 5 - Monitoring Devices|Section 42701.

42701.  (a)  For the purposes of Sections 41511 and 42303, the state board shall determine the availability, technological feasibility, and economic reasonableness of monitoring devices to measure and record continuously the emissions concentration and amount of nonmethane hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur, reduced sulfur compounds, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide emitted by stationary sources. Such determination shall be made for stationary sources which emit such contaminants in the quantities set forth in Section 42700, and may be made for stationary sources which emit lesser amounts. The state board shall complete an initial review of submitted devices by June 1, 1975. (Added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 957.)

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 4 - NONVEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 6 - Natural Gas Storage Facility Monitoring|Section 42710.

42710.  (a) The state board, in consultation with any local air district and the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation, shall develop a natural gas storage facility monitoring program that includes continuous monitoring of the ambient concentration of natural gas at sufficient locations throughout a natural gas storage facility or planned natural gas storage facility to identify natural gas leaks and the presence of natural gas emissions in the atmosphere. The continuous monitoring program may be supplemented by daily leak detection measurements.(b) (1) The program shall include guidelines for the continuous monitoring which shall include, at minimum, optical gas imaging, where applicable, and accurate quantitative monitoring of natural gas concentrations. The program shall include protocols for both stationary and mobile monitoring, as well as fixed and temporary monitoring locations.(2) The program shall require optical gas imaging when a large, ongoing leak occurs.(c) An operator of a natural gas storage facility shall develop and submit to the state board a facility monitoring plan that satisfies program requirements pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b). The state board shall review the plan and may approve or disapprove the plan.(d) An operator of a natural gas storage facility shall conduct monitoring in accordance with the facility monitoring plan approved by the state board pursuant to subdivision (c).(e) An operator of a natural gas storage facility shall provide monitoring data to the state board. All materials provided to comply with this section shall be posted and available to the public on the internet website of the state board.(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 771, Sec. 4.

2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 5 - VEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions|Section 43000.

43000.  The Legislature finds and declares as follows:(a)  The emission of air pollutants from motor vehicles is the primary cause of air pollution in many parts of the state. (b)  The control and elimination of those air pollutants is of prime importance for the protection and preservation of the public health and well-being, and for the prevention of irritation to the senses, interference with visibility, and damage to vegetation and property. (c)  The state has a responsibility to establish uniform procedures for compliance with standards which control or eliminate those air pollutants. (d)   Vehicle emission standards applied to new motor vehicles, and to used motor vehicles equipped with motor vehicle pollution control devices, are standards with which all motor vehicles shall comply. (e)  Dependence on petroleum based fuels in motor vehicles not only contributes to substantial degradation of air quality and risk to public health, but also impedes the state’s progress toward the petroleum use reduction goal prescribed in Section 25000.5 of the Public Resources Code. (Amended by Stats. 1991, Ch. 900, Sec. 1.)
CA Health & Safety Code § 43000.5 (2021)
2021 California Code|Health and Safety Code - HSC|DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES|PART 5 - VEHICULAR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL|CHAPTER 1 - General Provisions|Section 43000.5.

43000.5.  The Legislature further finds and declares as follows:(a)  Despite the significant reductions in vehicle emissions which have been achieved in recent years, continued growth in population and vehicle miles traveled throughout California have the potential not only to prevent attainment of the state standards, but in some cases, to result in worsening of air quality. (b)  The attainment and maintenance of the state air quality standards will necessitate the achievement of substantial reductions in new vehicle emissions and substantial improvements in the durability of vehicle emissions systems. (c)  The burden for achieving needed reductions in vehicle emissions should be distributed equitably among various classes of vehicles, including both on- and off-road vehicles, light-duty cars and trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles, to accomplish improvements in both the emissions level and in-use performance and durability of all new motor vehicles. (d)  The state board should take immediate action to implement both short- and long-range programs of across-the-board reductions in vehicle emissions and smoke, including smoke from heavy-duty diesel vehicles, which can be relied upon by the districts in the preparation of their attainment plans or plan revisions pursuant to Sections 40911, 40902, and 40925. (e)  In order to attain the state and federal standards as expeditiously and equitably as possible, it is necessary for the authority of the state board to be clarified and expanded with respect to the control of motor vehicles and motor vehicle fuels. (Amended by Stats. 1991, Ch. 900, Sec. 2.)
