Draft Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program and Air Quality Conformity Analysis Item # 16-2-6 Transportation Committee Action January 28, 2016 Draft Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program and Air Quality Conformity Analysis Issue: Should the Board approve Draft Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) and the Air Quality Conformity Analysis associated with Amendment #20 and the Draft 2016 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS)? Recommendation: That the Transportation Committee recommend that the Board approve MTIP Amendment #20 and the Air Quality Conformity Analysis. Discussion: The MTIP contains near-term transportation projects that are either federally funded or regionally significant in terms of air quality impacts. Inclusion in the federally approved MTIP is an essential step for delivering federally funded transportation projects. All projects in the MTIP are included, either individually or as part of lump sums, in the MTP/SCS. Federal rules require that the MTP/SCS and MTIP be consistent and that they conform to the region’s plan for attaining clean air. SACOG released the following documents for public review in mid-September, with comments due by November 16: 1. Draft 2016 MTP/SCS 2. Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Draft 2016 MTP/SCS 3. Draft Amendment #20 to the MTIP 4. Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis on both the Draft MTP/SCS and MTIP. SACOG held public hearings around the region to receive comments on the Draft 2016 MTP/SCS and EIR. The Transportation Committee also held a public hearing at its November 19, 2015, meeting on Draft MTIP Amendment #20 (Attachment A), which is necessary to keep the MTIP consistent with the Draft 2016 MTP/SCS, and the Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis (Attachment B). No formal written or oral comments were received on either Draft Amendment #20 or the Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis. Both MTIP Amendment #20 and the 2016 MTP/SCS necessitate that SACOG model and determine whether they conform for the purposes of air quality. Draft Amendment #20 adds Transportation Committee Page | 2 projects to the MTIP and revises projects that are regionally significant or are non-exempt from air quality conformity, making it a “Type 5” Formal Amendment, because it includes a conformity determination and a new regional emissions analysis. SACOG used an emissions modeling process to determine that the proposed changes in the Draft 2016 MTP/SCS and Draft Amendment #20 conform to all applicable federal air quality requirements and would not impede the region’s plan to attain air quality goals and standards. The Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis documents that determination. These documents will be submitted to Caltrans following Board approval. SACOG staff anticipates final federal approval by April 18, 2016; staff continues to work with our state and federal partners to ensure expedited review of these documents to meet this date. Approved by: Mike McKeever Chief Executive Officer Attachments: A – Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 MTIP B – Conformity Analysis C – Resolution Key Staff: Matt Carpenter, Director of Transportation Services, (916) 340-6276 Sharon Sprowls, Senior Program Specialist, (916) 340-6235 Renée DeVere-Oki, Team Manager Programming and Project Delivery, (916) 340-6219 José Luis Cáceres, Transportation Planner, (916) 340-6218 Attachment A September 16, 2015 To: Public and MTIP Interested Parties From: José Luis Cáceres, Transportation Planner Subject: Public Review of Draft Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 MTIP and Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis Attached are the Draft Amendment #20 and the Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis for public review. Comments and questions will be accepted through November 16, 2015. The Sacramento Area Council of Governments is proposing Draft Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) and Air Quality Conformity Analysis, associated with the proposed Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2016 MTP/SCS). Draft Amendment #20 is a Type 5 Formal Amendment, one that makes a conformity determination and a new regional emissions analysis. This amendment is necessary to keep the MTIP consistent with the 2016 MTP/SCS. This amendment is available for public review and comment beginning September 17, 2015 and concluding 5 p.m., November 16, 2015. A public hearing will be held at 10 a.m., November 19, 2016, during the Transportation Committee meeting at SACOG. The Board is scheduled to take action on February 18, 2016, with federal approval expected by April 1, 2016. The MTIP, as amended, meets all of the applicable transportation planning requirements per 23 CFR Part 450. SACOG has modeled the projects for air quality conformity and, in the attached resolution, determined that the amendment conforms to the applicable State Implementation Plans for air quality. SACOG seeks limit the number of amendments to the MTIP. Since the MTIP was adopted September 18, 2014, SACOG has processed 9 revisions to the MTIP, 8 administrative modifications and 1 formal amendment. By the time Amendment #20 might receive federal approval, the number of revisions could reach 19, making this the 20th revision to the 2015/18 MTIP. If you have questions regarding this amendment or wish to submit comments, please contact José Luis Cáceres at 916-340-6218 or via email at [email protected]. Attachments: Draft Amendment #20 Draft Air Quality Conformity Analysis Amendment #20 to the 2015/18 MTIP Index of Sections Section 1: - Understanding Grouped and Individually Listed Project Reports - MTIP Processes and Amendment Types Section 2: Summary of Changes Section 3: Individually Listed Projects and Grouped Project Listings Section 4: Public Involvement Process and Public Comments Section 5: Financial Summary Section 1 Understanding Grouped and Individually Listed Project Reports Regulatory Background The following MTIP revision contains individually programmed projects and grouped projects. “Grouped projects” are not called out individually in the MTIP, but are gathered into “grouped project listings.” In a separate report, SACOG provides project‐level detail for those new or revised projects that are programmed within grouped project listings. According to federal regulations, some projects must be programmed (i.e., identified) individually, while “Projects that are not considered to be of appropriate scale for individual identification in a given program year may be grouped by function, work type, and/or geographic area using the applicable classifications…” Federal rules also require that grouped projects be exempt for the purposes of air quality conformity and be not regionally significant. (23 CFR 250.324.f) The Grouped Project Listing Detail is provided for information and authorization purposes only. According to federal regulations and guidance, grouped projects are not individually programmed, but are actually considered “programmed” as part of their corresponding grouped project listing. How to Find a Project In addition to providing a Summary of Changes, SACOG provides complete detail for individually programmed projects and grouped projects for full disclosure to the public and to project sponsors, as well as for the purposes of project authorization by Caltrans, FHWA, and FTA. However, to find a project, one will have to consult two reports: the Individual and Grouped Project Listing report and the Grouped Project Listing Detail report. Each report sorts projects differently. The projects in the Individual and Grouped Project Listing report are sorted alphabetically by County, Lead Agency, and then Project Title. The projects in the Grouped Project Listing Detail report are sorted alphabetically by Grouped Project Listing Category, and within each listing they are sorted alphabetically by County, Lead Agency, and then Project Title. Why SACOG Groups Projects SACOG groups small‐scale, exempt projects in order to emphasize regionally significant projects and provide administrative flexibility. By grouping smaller exempt projects, the MTIP conveys that those projects are actually part of larger, overall efforts by the region to maintain and improve surface transportation through air quality‐exempt activities such as transportation studies, road rehabilitation, transit operations, replacement and minor expansion of the transit fleet, safety improvement, and so on. It allows SACOG to demonstrate how a change to a grouped project’s scope, cost, or phasing may actually be considered a minor change to the grouped project listing as a whole. As a result, FHWA, FTA, and Caltrans afford SACOG greater administrative flexibility to manage the MTIP using administrative modifications. Page 1 of 3 Section 1 MTIP Processes and Amendment Types For more detail, see SACOG’s Public Participation Plan: http://www.sacog.org/mtp/ppp.cfm There are four processes for the various ways to change/update the MTIP: 1. Adoption 2. Administrative Modification 3. Amendment 4. Technical Revision Adoption SACOG generally adopts a new MTIP every two years, although federal guidelines only require a new MTIP every four years. As part of the adoption, SACOG removes the two prior years and adds two additional years of funding. SACOG also reports projects that were completed from the prior MTIP. The MTIP is accompanied by either a new air quality conformity determination and analysis or a determination that relies on a previous analysis. Administrative Modification Regulations describe

  • Environmental Hazards Incorporates the State-Mandated “Safety” and “Noise” Elements of the General Plan
    7 HAZARDS ENVIRONMENTAL A. OVERVIEW Environmental Hazards incorporates the state-mandated “Safety” and “Noise” elements of the General Plan. The Chapter addresses natural and man-made hazards in the City, including earthquakes, landslides, floods, sea level rise, wildfire, air and water pollution, hazardous materials, and aviation accidents. It includes a summary of emergency preparedness in San Leandro, with policies that provide the foundation for disaster planning in the City. The Element also addresses noise issues, with the dual objective of mitigating existing noise problems and avoiding future disturbances and conflicts. The overall purpose of this Element is to minimize the potential for damage and injury resulting from environmental hazards. The State Government Code requires that the Element identify and evaluate the hazards that are present and establish appropriate goals, policies, and action programs to reduce those hazards to acceptable levels. Environmental hazards define basic constraints to land use that must be reflected in how and where development takes place. Public education is critical to the successful implementation of this Element. Although San Leandrans are generally aware that the City is located in “earthquake country,” there is still much that can be done to improve readiness and response when disaster strikes. The Environmental Hazards Element takes a pro-active approach to emergency preparedness, emphasizing mitigation and reduced exposure to hazards as well as response and recovery. This Element is closely coordinated with the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), a federally mandated plan to reduce exposure to hazards and ensure eligibility for federal disaster preparedness and relief funds. 7-1 SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD S The Element also sets forth a pro-active strategy for addressing noise issues in the community.

  • Bakersfield Californian, Commentary, Sunday, July 16, 2006
    Air-quality regulators seek input BY SARAH RUBY, Californian staff writer Source: Seyed Sadredin, air pollution control officer at the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Bakersfield Californian, Saturday, July 22, 2006 Locals are invited to talk air quality with those whose job it is to clean it up. Seyed Sadredin, the San Joaquin Valley's top air regulator, and others will convene in Delano and Bakersfield next Wednesday to discuss air problems and strategies to solve them. Here's a rundown, frequently-asked-question style, of a few things that might come up on Wednesday. We hear so much bad news about the valley's air. Is there any good news? Yes. Some 500 pollution regulations have cut emissions from stationary sources -- factories, refineries and other non-moving polluters -- by at least half since the early 1990s. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is taking measures to recognize the valley for having gone three years without a violation of the federal standard for dust and other coarse particles. Are we going to meet the 2013 deadline for reducing ozone pollution, also known as smog? If we do, it's not going to be easy. We'll need to reduce ozone emissions by 60 percent, the district says. With its powers limited to regulating pollution from stationary sources, the district only controls 40 percent of the valley's emissions, according to district figures. The other 60 percent -- cars, trucks, ships, planes and anything else that moves -- is regulated by state and federal agencies. Can we get an extension on the ozone rule? Yes.

  • Healthy Air Program Moving Into the Valley Alerts Abandoned in Favor of Taking Charge by KEN CARLSON Modesto Bee, Saturday, July 5, 2008
    Healthy Air program moving into the valley Alerts abandoned in favor of taking charge By KEN CARLSON Modesto Bee, Saturday, July 5, 2008 On summer days when smog shrouded the Northern San Joaquin Valley, air quality officials released "Spare the Air" alerts to urge individuals and businesses to take measures to reduce the pollution. Spare the Air is no more. It has been replaced by the Healthy Air Living program in the eight- county San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. Instead of just reacting to bad air days, the new program urges people to do things year-round to clean the air. The program kicks off Sunday with Healthy Air Living Week in the San Joaquin Valley air basin, with activities planned from Stockton to Bakersfield to showcase what people can do to reduce air pollution. The district is sponsoring the Modesto Nuts game Sunday night at John Thurman Field. The main event in Modesto will be a bicycle commute on McHenry Avenue between 7 and 9 a.m. Wednesday. People riding their bikes to work can first gather at the Fun Sport Bikes store in McHenry Village shopping center for refreshments and to enter a drawing. They will then ride downtown on McHenry with a police escort. Also Wednesday, a conference will be held at the University of California at Merced, focusing on the development of electric cars, fuel cells and other clean energy technology. Air district officials say they nixed Spare the Air because the program focused on one-day pollution episodes and didn't produce the permanent changes in behavior needed to improve air quality.

  • Yolo-Solano Air 2014
    YOLO-SOLANO AIR 2014 Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District Published January 2015 lean air is something easy to take for granted, especially in our community. The air we breathe is clean almost every day. In fact, in 2014 our air quality met federal health standards on 364 days. That record of air quality lets our community breathe easy. C But at the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, we work hard every day to ensure our air remains clean generations into the future and that we are good neighbors to communities with greater air pollution problems. As our economy and population grow, more cars and trucks hit the road and drive more miles. Transportation contributes roughly 75 percent of our summer air pollution and a significant share of particulate emissions year-round. In addition, economic development in our communities has led to new potential sources of air pollution, many of them innovative. It is against that backdrop that we strive to protect the air quality of Yolo-Solano and reduce our regional impact. We have successfully reduced air pollution emitted in our communities despite growth in vehicles miles traveled. That takes persistent, effective work from our talented, dedicated staff as well as cooperation from the businesses and residents of Yolo-Solano. We ask the public to help us shape policy, reduce wood burning and reduce their driving. For your help, we thank you. In this report you’ll find information on how we work to protect your air quality as well as learn about of 2014 accomplishments and our 2015 goals.

    Metropolitan Transportation Commission Programming and Allocations Committee September 11, 2013 Item Number 4b MTC Resolutions 4035, Revised and 3925, Revised Subject: Cycle 2/OneBayArea Grant Program - Project Selections and Programming Revisions Background: The Cycle 2 Surface Transportation Program and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (STP/CMAQ) OneBayArea Grant (OBAG) Program adopted by the Commission in May 2012 establishes commitments and policies for investing roughly $800 million in federal funds for regional programs and local programs through FY2016. Under this program, the county congestion management agencies (CMAs) administer OBAG ($320 million), selecting projects within their respective counties, which involve a competitive project selection process. The County CMAs also issue solicitations and award grants for two other Cycle 2 programs: the Regional Safe Routes to School Program and the Priority Conservation Area Program (North Bay only). As projects are selected, MTC staff confirms funding eligibility and includes the projects in the respective program, processes TIP revisions to include the projects in the federal TIP, and provides periodic follow-up reports to the Commission. In addition, staff reports changes to STP/CMAQ funding for the regional programs managed by MTC. OneBayArea Grant Program The Commission has made $320 million available to the counties based on a formula using population, Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocations, and prior housing production factors. The deadline for submitting projects for Commission review was July 30, 2013. As of this date, the CMAs are proposing 147 projects totaling roughly $230 million as part of this action. The CMA’s project selections have been reviewed by staff to confirm that the Commission’s OBAG policies have been met.
