<br />On June 20, 2002, the CARB revised the PM10 annual average standard to 20 µg/m3 and established an
<br />annual average standard for PM2.5 of 12 µg/m3. These standards were approved by the Office of
<br />Administrative Law in June 2003 and are now effective. On September 27, 2007 CARB approved the South
<br />Coast Air Basin and the Coachella Valley 2007 Air Quality Management Plan for Attaining the Federal 8-hour
<br />Ozone and PM2.5 Standards. The plan projected attainment for the 8-hour Ozone standard by 2024 and the
<br />PM2.5 standard by 2015.
<br />
<br />On December 12, 2008 the CARB adopted Resolution 08-43, which limits NOx, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions
<br />from on-road diesel truck fleets that operate in California. On October 12, 2009 Executive Order R-09-010
<br />was adopted that codified Resolution 08-43 into Section 2025, Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations.
<br />This regulation requires that by the year 2023 all commercial diesel trucks that operate in California shall meet
<br />model year 2010 (Tier 4) or latter emission standards. In the interim period, this regulation provides annual
<br />interim targets for fleet owners to meet. This regulation also provides a few exemptions including a onetime
<br />per year 3-day pass for trucks registered outside of California.
<br />
<br />The CARB is also responsible for regulations pertaining to toxic air contaminants. The Air Toxics “Hot Spots”
<br />Information and Assessment Act (AB 2588, 1987, Connelly) was enacted in 1987 as a means to establish a
<br />formal air toxics emission inventory risk quantification program. AB 2588, as amended, establishes a process
<br />that requires stationary sources to report the type and quantities of certain substances their facilities routinely
<br />release into the South Coast Air Basin. The data is ranked by high, intermediate, and low categories, which are
<br />determined by: the potency, toxicity, quantity, volume, and proximity of the facility to nearby receptors.
<br />
<br />AB 617 Nonvehicular air pollution: criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants
<br />
<br />This bill requires the state board to develop a uniform statewide system of annual reporting of emissions of
<br />criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants for use by certain categories of stationary sources. The bill
<br />requires those stationary sources to report their annual emissions of criteria air pollutants and toxic air
<br />contaminants, as specified. This bill required the state board, by October 1, 2018, to prepare a monitoring
<br />plan regarding technologies for monitoring criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants and the need for
<br />and benefits of additional community air monitoring systems, as defined. The bill requires the state board to
<br />select, based on the monitoring plan, the highest priority locations in the state for the deployment of
<br />community air monitoring systems. The bill requires an air district containing a selected location, by July 1,
<br />2019, to deploy a system in the selected location. The bill would authorize the air district to require a stationary
<br />source that emits air pollutants in, or that materially affect, the selected location to deploy a fence-line
<br />monitoring system, as defined, or other specified real-time, on-site monitoring. The bill authorizes the state
<br />board, by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter, to select additional locations for the deployment of the
<br />systems. The bill would require air districts that have deployed a system to provide to the state board air
<br />quality data produced by the system. By increasing the duties of air districts, this bill would impose a state-
<br />mandated local program. The bill requires the state board to publish the data on its Internet Web site.

<br />Regional
<br />
<br />The SCAQMD is the agency principally responsible for comprehensive air pollution control in the South Coast
<br />Air Basin. To that end, as a regional agency, the SCAQMD works directly with the Southern California
<br />Association of Governments (SCAG), county transportation commissions, and local governments and
<br />cooperates actively with all federal and state agencies.
<br />
<br />South Coast Air Quality Management District
<br />
<br />The SCAQMD develops rules and regulations, establishes permitting requirements for stationary sources,
<br />inspects emission sources, and enforces such measures through educational programs or fines, when
<br />necessary. The SCAQMD is directly responsible for reducing emissions from stationary, mobile, and indirect
<br />sources. It has responded to this requirement by preparing a sequence of AQMPs. On June 30, 2016, the
