City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />Pollutant Averaging Time CAAQSa NAAQSb <br />Notes: <br />a The California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for 03, CO, S02 (1-hour and 24-hour), NO2, <br />PM10, and PM2s are values not to be exceeded. All other California standards shown are values not to be <br />equaled or exceeded. <br />b The NAAQS, other than 03 and those based on amoral averages, are not to be exceeded more than <br />once a year. The 03 standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with <br />maximum hourly average concentrations above the standard is equal to or less than 1. <br />r ppm = parts per million by volume; ppb = parts per billion; Vg/M3 = micrograms per cubic meter. <br />Source: ARB 2012. <br />Table 3-3.

In general, the California standards are more health <br />protective than the corresponding NAAQS. California has also set standards for sulfates, hydrogen <br />sulfide, vinyl chloride, and visibility-reducing particles. The Basin is in compliance with these <br />California standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, visibility-reducing particles, and vinyl chloride. <br />Table 3-2 details the current NAAQS and CAAQS, and Table 3-3 provides the Basin's (Orange County <br />portion) attainment status with respect to federal and state standards. <br />Local <br />South Coast Air Quality Management District <br />SCAQMD has adopted a series of air quality management plans (AQMPs) to meet the CAAQS and <br />NAAQS. These plans require, among other emissions-reducing activities, control technology for <br />existing sources, control programs for area sources and indirect sources, a SCAQMD permitting <br />system designed to allow no net increase in emissions from any new or modified (i.e., previously <br />permitted) emission sources, and transportation control measures. The 2007 AQMP was adopted on <br />tune 1, 2007 (SCAQMD 2007), and is currently in the process of being updated.
