Monday, August 30, 2021 Monday, August 30, 2021 Clerk of the Board, South Coast AQMD, 21865 Copley Drive Dimond Bar, CA 91765-4178 South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board Members: The Sierra Club submits the following 560 digital signatures on the behalf of our members and supporters, urging the South Coast Air Quality Management District to implement a strong Refinery Rule (1109.1). Petition Language: Dear Governing Board Members: We submit this letter in support of Refinery Rule 1109.1, which would bring our region closer to meeting air quality standards to protect public health. Our region continues to have the worst ground-level ozone pollution in the nation. This pollution threatens the health of residents in the region with a range of harms, including asthma, diminished lung function, and premature death. These harms, in turn, cause negative socio- economic impacts, such as increased health care costs, missed workdays, and school absences. Petroleum refineries are a major source of ozone-causing pollution. For decades, refineries have avoided installing available life-saving pollution controls on hundreds of pieces of equipment, such as large boilers and heaters. As a result, refineries have saved millions of dollars. Refinery Rule 1109.1 would require refineries to finally install available controls on equipment that will improve public health and create jobs. We encourage you to adopt a strong Refinery Rule 1109.1 that secures the maximum amount of emissions reductions at petroleum refineries as quickly as possible. Refineries have had five years to install these pollution controls but have delayed making these necessary investments and are currently lobbying to keep delaying indefinitely. Communities living near refineries have waited for far too long and cannot afford to wait any longer. Sincerely, 1. Pat Lang Los Altos Hills, CA 94022-4531 2. Gloria Boyd Atascadero, CA 93422-8857 3.

  • South Coast Technical Analysis
    Technical Support Document for 2008 Ozone NAAQS Designations California Area Designations for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards Technical Analysis for Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin Figure 1 is a map of the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin, CA nonattainment area. The map provides other relevant information including the locations and design values of air quality monitors, county names and boundaries, and indicates EPA’s nonattainment designation. Also shown is the boundary of the existing area that is designated nonattainment for the 1997 ozone NAAQS. Figure 1 For purposes of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, this area was designated nonattainment. The boundary for the nonattainment area for the 1997 ozone NAAQS included the entirety of Orange County, parts of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and areas of Indian country of federally recognized tribes. Technical Analysis for Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin - Page 1 of 13 In March 2009, California recommended that the same counties or parts of counties be designated as “nonattainment” for the 2008 ozone NAAQS based on air quality data from 2006-2008. (Letter from James Goldstene, Executive Officer, California Air Resources Board, to Laura Yoshii, Acting Regional Administrator, U.S. EPA Region IX, dated March 11, 2009.) California provided an update to the original recommendation in October 2011 based on air quality data from 2008-2010 and preliminary 2009-2011 data, but did not revise its recommendation for the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin. The 2009 and 2011 recommendations are based on data from Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) monitors sited and operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 58.

  • Assessing Physical Conditions of South Coast Mpas
    Baseline Highlights from Atmospheric and Oceanographic Monitoring in California’s South Coast Assessing Physical Conditions of South Coast MPAs ABOUT THIS SNAPSHOT REPORT This report highlights some key scientific findings from long-term monitoring of physical conditions in California’s South Coast region over the past 120 years, including during the time of marine protected area (MPA) implementation. Information and figures are derived from the full report on physical conditions in the South Coast, available at OceanSpaces.org. Guest Snapshot Report ‘The Blob,’ were detected in 2012 and have persisted into 2016. SST What are Physical Conditions? in the South Coast was abnormally warm from spring of 2014 through 2016, with temperatures warmer by 3ºC in some areas. These warm Physical conditions refer to atmospheric and oceanographic water conditions in the South Coast were initially associated with the conditions in the coast and ocean that act as drivers of change arrival of a unique warm water anomaly termed, the Southern California on both short and long timescales. They describe non-biological Warm Anomaly (SCWA) and continued with the onset of an El Niño aspects of the ocean (e.g., temperature, salinity, currents, waves, event in 2015-2016. The degree of warming was similar to that of the sea level, upwelling) and characteristics of the atmosphere (e.g., strong El Niño events of 1957-1958, 1982-1983, and 1997-1998. precipitation, air temperature, cloudiness). The interaction of the ocean and atmosphere can influence physical conditions through El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, climate change, and ocean acidification (i.e., lowering of ocean pH).

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the California Natural Resources Agency, and aquarium partners organize and support the OCA. OCA members collaborate on common ocean messages and promote the Thank You Ocean public awareness campaign. Purpose of the Ocean Communicators Alliance Marine Protected Area (MPA) Docent Training Handbook Docents and naturalists play a critical role in helping to increase stewardship and educate the public on the importance of California’s coast and ocean, and we hope this handbook will be a useful resource. The South Coast Marine Protected Area Docent Training Handbook is intended to be a resource for docents and naturalists who communicate about marine protected areas (MPAs). Through this handbook, docents and naturalists will learn about MPAs and will be better equipped to communicate about them. This handbook aims to include the most pertinent information about the network of California MPAs, with an emphasis on south coast MPAs. It includes links to additional information and can act as a stand-alone document or a chapter within an organization’s existing docent training handbook. As new information and resources are developed, this handbook may be updated.

  • South Coast Systems, Inc. GENERAL CAPABILITIES SUMMARY
    South Coast Systems, Inc. GENERAL CAPABILITIES SUMMARY INTRODUCTION South Coast Systems is an Engineering Services firm specializing in the planning, design, integration, and commissioning of Factory Floor Electrical and Control Systems and Integrated Production Supervisory and Data Management Systems. During the past few decades, industrial and commercial facilities owners and managers have been increasingly challenged by evolving technologies and global competition to improve productivity and flexibility through modernization and automation. For the past 29 years South Coast Systems has been helping its clients respond to that challenge with project management, conceptual design, systems integration, detailed engineering, system programming, real-time simulation, construction management and start-up assistance. The firm’s work is executed from two offices. The Kansas City office supports ongoing project work for clients in the Midwest and Mountain States region. The Santa Ana, California office serves accounts in the Western region. Clients on more than 450 diverse projects ranging from plant strategic planning studies to retrofit projects to new plant designs for the following industries and applications have utilized the firm’s experience, with a previous two year average percentage of business as indicated: • Food and Pharmaceuticals 44% • Water and Waste Water Systems 20% • Miscellaneous Automation Applications 15% • Mining and Minerals Processing 13% • Oil and Gas Distribution 8% The company’s business model has always been to avoid retaining a direct sales force, but rather to rely exclusively on referral and repeat work from customers who value the quality and timeliness of the firm’s work. The firm has been quite successful in implementing this plan as demonstrated by the fact that over 80% of current revenue generated is repeat work for clients that the company has been doing business with for at least 10 years.
