At the same time, statewide emissions of smog-forming pollutants have dropped by over 50 percent. At the Bay Area Air District, we’re proud to have played a role in this air quality success story. But as population and traffic in the region continue to grow, and as we grapple with the looming threat of climate change, it will require all our ingenuity and resourcefulness as an agency—and as members of the greater community—to continue this positive trend. This past year, our agency was instrumental in rolling out the first bike share program in the nation to debut as a regional system. Bay Area Bike Share is proving to be a viable transportation option in the five cities and three counties to which it extends. We also finalized our Plug-In Electric Vehicle Plan, which provides guidance to local government and other stakeholders to expedite the infrastructure necessary to establish plug-in electric vehicles as a critical means of reducing air pollution in the region. In 2013, our Board passed a milestone Climate Protection Resolution that sets as a goal the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. The Board also approved implementation of a Public Participation Plan that will enable the Air District to better engage with the many diverse neighborhoods and communities in the region. And we passed rules that address emissions from refinery boilers and heaters, as well as forges, foundries, and metal recycling facilities. Throughout the year, we measured and analyzed air quality, enforced air quality regulations, issued permits for emission sources, and provided grants for clean air projects in the nine-county Bay Area region. As the Bay Area Air District’s Executive Officer, I’m proud of the work we do to improve our overall quality of life in this beautiful region. We appreciate your continued commitment to air quality and hope you enjoy this review of our 03 efforts in this 2013 Annual Report. Jack P. Broadbent Executive Officer Air Pollution Control Officer 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 3 5/21/14 9:27 PM The Bay Area exceeded national health standards for air pollution on only 4% of days in 2013 (16 out of 365). 04 We measure and analyze air quality. The Air District operates an extensive air quality monitoring network that measures concentrations of air pollutants in the Bay Area. Air District meteorologists use this monitoring data, along with up-to-date weather information, to make air quality forecasts. Information collected from this network is also analyzed in the Air District laboratory, and used by staff to develop air quality models and examine long-term air quality trends. Two pollutants that can affect public health in the Bay Area are ozone and particulate matter. Ozone is the main ingredient in summertime smog, and particulate matter is composed of an assortment of extremely small airborne particles, or mixtures of solid particles and liquid droplets, and is primarily a problem in the wintertime. (See charts on pages 10 and 11.) For more information, see annualreport.baaqmd.gov/measure. 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 4 5/21/14 9:27 PM In 2013, five rules were adopted or amended by the Air District. 05 We implement standards, guidelines, and rules for clean air. The Air District analyzes air monitoring data, air emissions from a variety of sources, and traffic and demographic statistics and uses this information to form air quality plans, programs, and regulations. These activities improve public health by reducing regional air pollution and helping the Bay Area meet federal and state air quality standards. For more information, see annualreport.baaqmd.gov/implement. 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 5 5/21/14 9:27 PM The Air District conducted 21,818 air quality inspections in 2013. 06 We ensure that businesses comply with air pollution laws and regulations. The Air District issues air quality permits for facilities with stationary sources of air pollution. These permits ensure that businesses comply with air pollu- tion laws and regulations, often by installing abatement equipment to control emissions. Permits are reviewed annually, and the Air District conducts on-site facility inspections and tests emission sources to make sure businesses stay in compliance. The Air District also responds to air quality complaints and provides technical assistance to businesses to help them comply with air quality regulations. For more information, see annualreport.baaqmd.gov/ensure. 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 6 5/21/14 9:27 PM In 2013, the Air District distributed $56.25 million in grants for clean air projects. 07 We give grants to encourage clean air. The Air District administers various grant and incentive programs to improve air q uality in the Bay Area. These programs offer funding to public agencies and private companies for projects that reduce or eliminate air pollution and greenhouse gases from mobile sources. In the Bay Area, mobile sources—such as cars, trucks, marine vessels, locomotives, and construction equipment—are the greatest contributor to air pollution. For more information, see annualreport.baaqmd.gov/encourage. 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 7 5/21/14 9:27 PM 75% of Bay Area residents support the Wood Burning Rule. 08 We spare the air. The Air District’s summer and winter Spare the Air campaigns focus on educating and encouraging the public to rethink their everyday choices that contribute to air pollution. During the summer and throughout the year, the Spare the Air program urges residents to reduce their driving by walking, taking transit, or carpooling. During the winter months, smoke from residential wood burning becomes a major health concern in the Bay Area. From November to February, wood burning is illegal when the Air District issues a Winter Spare the Air Alert. In 2013, the Air District issued six Spare the Air alerts in the summer and a record-breaking 33 Winter Spare the Air alerts on days when air quality was forecast to be unhealthy. Air District survey results show that the public responded and took action on those days—and all year long—to reduce pollution. For more information, see annualreport.baaqmd.gov/sparetheair. 14623_BAAQMD_Txt_CS55.r1.indd 8 5/21/14 9:27 PM The Air District held 192 community meetings and outreach events in 2013. 09 We work with communities to improve air quality. The Air District is dedicated to improving air quality for all Bay Area residents. Each of the Bay Area’s nine counties is made up of smaller communities and neighborhoods with unique air quality concerns. The Air District is committed to adopting rules and policies that are fair and equitable to all residents, and to involving the many diverse communities and perspectives in the Bay Area in our work.

  • 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.
