Driven by consensus thinking, we advocate for practical solutions to often complex problems. Using science-based advocacy, we fight for thriving oceans, healthy watersheds and smart-water management.

We operate an award-winning aquarium underneath the Santa Monica Pier, inspiring visitors to protect the region’s most important natural resource. We also educate and inspire the next generation of stewards, with more than 100,000 students joining us each year for science-based field trips, classroom presentations and community events. 1444 9th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 • (800) HEAL BAY • [email protected] LEADERSHIP A Homecoming, and a Reckoning 2017 marked a return to roots – for Heal the Bay, and for me personally.

    Air Resources Board Alan C. Lloyd, Ph.D. Terry Tamminen Chairman Arnold Schwarzenegger Agency Secretary Governor 1001 I Street • P.O. Box 2815 Sacramento, California 95812 • www.arb.ca.gov February 4, 2004 Mr. Wayne Nastri Regional Administrator Region 9 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, California 94105-3901 Dear Mr. Nastri: In your December 3, 2003 letter, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) notified Governor Schwarzenegger of its intent to modify California’s July 15, 2003 recommendations for area designations under the federal eight-hour ozone air quality standard. The Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) is responding on behalf of the State of California. U.S. EPA concurs with the majority of our recommendations and we appreciate the opportunity to provide additional information to support a few important modifications needed to address the remaining issues. We are asking U.S. EPA to change some proposed area designations and boundaries consistent with the most recent air quality data, and to clarify some area descriptions. We also request U.S. EPA’s help on a transportation conformity issue that is vital to the new rural areas that will be designated nonattainment for the first time under the eight-hour ozone standard. Bay Area Designation as Nonattainment The San Francisco Bay Area should be added to the list of nonattainment areas because this region recorded violations of the standard in 2003. This is a change to our previous recommendation that was based on data through 2002. Using preliminary 2003 data for all of California, Enclosure 1 presents the State’s updated recommendations for nonattainment, attainment, and unclassifiable area designations for the eight-hour ozone standard.

Rev. 429 LENGTH: 28993 words COMMENT: SMOKE BEFORE OIL: MODELING A SUIT AGAINST THE AUTO AND OIL INDUSTRY ON THE TOBACCO TORT LITIGATION IS FEASIBLE NAME: ANGELA LIPANOVICH * BIO: * J.D., Candidate, 2006, Golden Gate University School of Law, San Francisco, CA; B.S.

The petroleum industry (hereinafter "petro industry"), from start to finish, pollutes the environment. ... Lastly, Sec- tion III explores the applicability of public nuisance law to petro pollution, proposing that suits by both the California Attorney General and private litigants alleging public nuisance against petroleum fuel and ICE manufacturers could obtain injunctive and civil penalty relief to abate public health and environmental harms.

  • Small Engine Industry Still Battling Pollution Controls by Sam Hananel, Associated Press Writer in the Fresno Bee, S.F
    Small engine industry still battling pollution controls By Sam Hananel, Associated Press Writer In the Fresno Bee, S.F. Chronicle and other papers Wednesday, April 12, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) - Briggs & Stratton Corp. and its political benefactor - Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo. - still aren't ready to accept the government's findings about pollution controls on small engines. An Environmental Protection Agency study last month found it's safe to place catalytic converters on lawn and garden equipment to reduce air pollution. That opened the door for California to implement state rules to regulate the highly polluting small engines, and for the EPA to write nationwide rules. But despite objections from environmentalists and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the lawn mower engine maker with two plants in Missouri is joining other industry members to fund a new study that is likely to contradict the EPA report. And they are taking their concerns to a different government agency - the Consumer Product Safety Commission - that may be more receptive to the industry. Bond, who supports the industry-backed study, chairs the Senate spending panel that funds the safety commission. It's another chapter in the long-running dispute between the lawn equipment industry and the EPA over the small engines. Regulators want to issue nationwide rules this year to limit small engine pollution, and also grant California a waiver to put its own rules in effect. Some manufacturers complain the rules will increase the risk of fires and raise production costs by 30 percent. Bond has long opposed the tougher standards and last year insisted the EPA study whether catalytic converters could create fire risks.
