Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The objective of ambient air quality standards is to
						provide a basis for preventing or abating the effects of air pollution,
						including effects on health, esthetics and economy. The standards should not be
						interpreted as permitting, encouraging, or condoning degradation of present air
						quality in any air basin which now has an air quality superior to that
						stipulated in the standards. Pollution levels below those shown in the
						standards should not ordinarily produce the associated effects.
In determining compliance with the standards through air
						monitoring, the sites and conditions of air sampling should be so chosen as to
						realistically represent the exposures of people, animals, vegetation and
						materials.
Ambient air quality standards shall be reviewed and
						subject to modification whenever substantial pertinent new information becomes
						available and at least once every five years. To the extent feasible, review of
						a standard shall be coordinated with the review of any corresponding federal
						standard by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this
					 article, designations shall be based on "data for record. "
(1) Data for record are those data collected
					 by or under the auspices of the state board or the districts for the purpose of
					 measuring ambient air quality, and which the Executive Officer or his or her
					 delegate has determined comply with the siting and quality assurance procedures
					 established in Part 58, Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations or other
					 equivalent procedures.
(2) Any
					 other data which are provided by a district or by any other person will be data
					 for record if the Executive Officer or his or her delegate determines within 90
					 days of submittal of complete supporting documentation that the data comply
					 with the siting and quality assurance procedures established in Part 58, Title
					 40, Code of Federal Regulations or other equivalent procedures. If the
					 Executive Officer or his or her delegate finds there is good cause that 90 days
					 is insufficient time to make a determination, he or she may after notification
					 of the person requesting the data review extend the deadline for completion of
					 the data review.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) An air basin will be the area designated
					 for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, suspended particulate matter (PM10), fine
					 suspended particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfates, and visibility reducing
					 particles. Provided, however, if the Executive Officer or his or her delegate
					 finds (based on air quality data, meteorology, topography, or the distribution
					 of population and emissions) that there are areas within an air basin with
					 distinctly different air quality deriving from sources and conditions not
					 affecting the entire air basin, the Executive Officer or his or her delegate
					 may designate an area smaller than an air basin using political boundary lines
					 to the extent practicable. In designating an area smaller than an air basin as
					 nonattainment, the Executive Officer or his or her delegate will include within
					 the area those sources whose emissions contribute to a violation of a state
					 standard for that pollutant. Contiguous areas which would have the same
					 designation within an air basin will be one designated area.
(b) A county or the portion of a county which
					 is located within an air basin will be the area designated for carbon monoxide,
					 sulfur dioxide, lead (particulate), and hydrogen sulfide. Provided, however, if
					 the Executive Officer or his or her delegate finds (based on air quality data,
					 meteorology, topography, or the distribution of population and emissions) that
					 there are areas within the county with distinctly different air quality, it may
					 designate a smaller area. In designating an area smaller than a county as
					 nonattainment, the Executive Officer or his or her delegate will include within
					 the area those sources whose emissions contribute to a violation of a state
					 standard for that pollutant.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The Executive Officer or his or her
					 delegate will designate an area as nonattainment for a pollutant if:
(1) Data for record show at least one
					 violation of a state standard for that pollutant in the area, and the
					 measurement of the violation meets the representativeness criteria set forth in
					 "Criteria for Determining Data Representativeness" contained in Appendix 1 to
					 this article; or
(2) Limited or no
					 air quality data were collected in the area, but the Executive Officer or his
					 or her delegate finds, based on meteorology, topography, and air quality data
					 for an adjacent nonattainment area, that there has been at least one violation
					 of a state standard for that pollutant in the area being
					 designated.

					 pollutant other than ozone with a state standard averaging time less than or
					 equal to 24 hours and for which samples are routinely collected every day if it
					 finds that:
(1) Data for record for the
					 previous calendar year are consistent with the criteria established in section
					 70304(a)(2) and
					 show two or fewer days at each site in the area with violations of a state
					 standard for that pollutant (not including exceedances found to be affected by

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) If an area within an air basin is
					 designated as nonattainment for ozone, that area is designated as
					 nonattainment-transitional for ozone if the following conditions are met:
(1) The area is an entire district within an
					 air basin, or the area is the entire portion of a district within an air basin
					 consistent with the criteria established in section
					 70302(a);
(2) Data for record consistent with the
					 criteria established in section
					 70304(a)(2) are
					 used to determine the number of exceedances for the previous calendar year at
					 each monitoring location in the area;
(3) All data collected during the previous
					 calendar year are considered in the evaluation, including data possibly
					 affected by a highly irregular or infrequent event under the procedure set
					 forth in Appendix 2 to this article;
(4) Each day with concentration(s) that
					 exceed the state ozone standard is counted as one exceedance day; and
(5) No monitoring location in the area has
					 more than three exceedance days during the previous calendar
					 year.

(a)
					 Definitions
For the purpose of sections
						70600 and
						70601, the following definitions
						shall apply:
(1) "all feasible

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
A district may exclude one or more sources from the
						requirement to apply all feasible measures, best available retrofit control
						technology, or both, as transport mitigation pursuant to section
						70600 provided that the district
						plan prepared pursuant to part 3, chapter 10 (commencing with section

						Health and Safety Code and approved by the Board pursuant to part 4, chapter 1
						(commencing with section
						41500) of division 26 of the
						Health and Safety Code demonstrates that:
(a) emissions from the source, because of its
					 location, do not contribute to ozone violations in any downwind area;
					 or
(b) emissions reductions from
					 the source are not needed to attain the ozone standard in any downwind area;
					 or
(c) the district is implementing
					 an alternative emissions reduction strategy pursuant to section
					 40914
					 of the Health and Safety Code and demonstrates, based on the best available
					 scientific evidence, including but not limited to air quality modeling
					 analyses, that the strategy will be at least as effective and as expeditious as
					 the transport mitigation requirements specified in section
					 70600; or
(d) the most recent transport assessment
					 demonstrates that the district's transport impact is inconsequential.

California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 3 - Air Resources › Chapter 1 - Air Resources Board › Subchapter 2 - Smoke Management Guidelines for Agricultural and Prescribed Burning › Article 1 - General Provisions › Section 80101 - Definitions

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) "Agricultural
					 burning" is defined in Health and Safety Code section
					 39011
					 as follows:
(1) "Agricultural burning" means
					 open outdoor fires used in agricultural operations in the growing of crops or
					 raising of fowl or animals, or open outdoor fires used in forest management,
					 range improvement, or the improvement of land for wildlife and game habitat, or
					 disease or pest prevention.
(2)
					 "Agricultural burning" also means open outdoor fires used in the operation or
					 maintenance of a system for the delivery of water for the purposes specified in
					 paragraph (1).
(3) "Agricultural
					 burning" also means open outdoor fires used in wildland vegetation management
					 burning. Wildland vegetation management burning is the use of prescribed
					 burning conducted by a public agency, or through a cooperative agreement or
					 contract involving a public agency, to burn land predominantly covered with
					 chaparral, trees, grass, or standing brush. Prescribed burning is the planned
					 application of fire to vegetation to achieve any specific objective on lands
					 selected in advance of that application. The planned application of fire may
					 also include natural or accidental ignition.
California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 3 - Air Resources › Chapter 1 - Air Resources Board › Subchapter 2 - Smoke Management Guidelines for Agricultural and Prescribed Burning › Article 1 - General Provisions › Section 80102 - Scope and Applicability

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) These Guidelines apply to the Air
					 Resources Board and all air districts in California, and regulate agricultural
					 burning, including prescribed burning. These Guidelines are intended to provide
					 flexibility to districts in the development and implementation of their smoke
					 management programs. Such programs shall be developed in consultation with the
					 ARB and focus on minimizing any significant impacts that agricultural or
					 prescribed burning may have on air quality or public health. These Guidelines
					 are also intended to assure adequate state oversight, including initial program
					 approval and periodic program assessment.
(b) Although any local or regional authority
					 may establish stricter standards for the control and the regulation of
					 agricultural burning, including prescribed burning, than those set forth in
					 these Guidelines, no local or regional authority may ban agricultural or
					 prescribed burning.
(c) These
					 Guidelines are not intended to permit open burning on days when such burning is
					 prohibited by public fire protection agencies for purposes of fire control or
					 prevention.

California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 3 - Air Resources › Chapter 1 - Air Resources Board › Subchapter 2 - Smoke Management Guidelines for Agricultural and Prescribed Burning › Article 1 - General Provisions › Section 80110 - Permissive-Burn, Marginal Burn, or NO-Burn Days

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The ARB shall specify each day of the
					 year as a permissive burn day, or a no-burn day for each air basin or other
					 specified area.
(b) The ARB shall
					 announce by 3:00 p.m. every day for each of the state's air basins or other
					 specified areas whether the following day is a permissive burn day or a no-burn
					 day, or whether the decision will be announced the following day. If conditions
					 preclude a forecast until the next day, the decision shall be announced by 7:45
					 a.m. Such notices shall be based on the Meteorological Criteria for Regulating
					 Agricultural Burning and Prescribed Burning, set forth in sections
					 80179 through
					 80330 of these
					 Guidelines.
(c) The ARB may declare
					 a marginal burn day if meteorological conditions approach the criteria
					 contained in sections
					 80179 through
					 80311 for permissive burn days,
					 and smoke impacts are not expected. A marginal burn day allows a district to
					 authorize limited amounts of burning for individual projects in an air basin or
					 other specified area if the air district demonstrates that smoke impacts to
					 smoke sensitive areas are not expected as a result of that burning. The ARB
					 shall announce by 3:00 p.m. every day for each of the state's air basins or
					 other specified areas whether the following day is a marginal burn day, or
					 whether the decision will be announced the following day. If conditions
					 preclude a forecast until the next day, the decision shall be announced by 7:45
					 a.m.
(d) Agricultural burning,
					 including prescribed burning, is prohibited on no-burn days, except as
					 specified in section
					 80120(e), section
					 80145(n), and
					 section 80160(h).
(e) A district and the ARB may develop
					 mutually agreeable procedures to allow a district to demonstrate that a given
					 day is a marginal burn day or a burn day through its own analysis of the
					 expected meteorological conditions in the air basin and a comparison to the
					 meteorological criteria in Article 3.
