8-Hour Ozone
8-Hour Ozone Plan

Back to top

The District Governing Board adopted the 2007 Ozone Plan on April 30, 2007. This far-reaching plan, with innovative measures and a “dual path” strategy, assures expeditious attainment of the federal 8-hour ozone standard for all Valley residents. The California Air Resources Board approved the plan on June 14, 2007. The plan was due to EPA by June 15, 2007.

On December 18, 2008, the District Governing Board adopted the “Amendment to the 2007 Ozone Plan to Extend the Rule Adoption Schedule for Organic Waste Operations.” This amendment revised Table 6-5 to extend the control measure completion date for Composting Green Waste to the fourth quarter of 2010. This extension allows time for further study before rule adoption, and this rule extension does not impact Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) or the attainment demonstration.

The adopted version of the 8-hour Ozone Plan can be found here.

Upcoming Public Meetings and Workshops

Back to top

The 2007 Ozone Plan was developed with numerous opportunities for the general public, environmental and community advocacy groups, and industry representatives to offer critique and suggestions. The District held a series of six Town Hall meetings throughout the Valley in the summer of 2006. Public workshops on the Draft Plan were held on October 17, 2006 and February 8, 2007. The plan was adopted at a public hearing held on April 30, 2007.

There are no additional District workshops or meetings on the 8-hour ozone plan scheduled at this time.
