~xhibit 1- Air Quality Con~ro~Measures For Local Government The reasonably available control measures in the 1982 AQMP requiring some degree of implementation by local governments are described below. More detailed information on the measures, including estimated emission reductions and significant impacts, can be found in Appendix VII-A of the AQMP. It is the responsibility of local governments to determine how best to implement each measure, or substitute measure, in their respective Jurisdictions. The measures have been broadly defined with the under- standing that a variety of approaches to implemeoting the measures would be appropriate in light of the widely varying circumstances of cities and counties in the South Coast Air Basin. It is also recognized that many Jurisdictions have already addressed air quality considerations locally and are actively implementing many of the measures. Implementation of the measur6s is to be initiated during 1983. SCAG will provide each Jurisdiction with performance, targets and any other infor- mation requested to assist in developing program designs. Implementing agencies will be asked to respond to SCAG's annual reasonable further progress {RFP) survey on the status of their air quality programs by January 1984. SCAG staff will also be available to assist in this effort. Tuneups, to Manufacturer's Specific.ations (H3) - City and county Vehicle fleet operators would obtain the necessary equipment and train employees to perform tuneups on all nonemergency on-road vehicles according to manufacturer's reco~ndations.
