Air District Fact

The District also enforces the California Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) which regulates the Naturally-Occurring Asbestos (NOA) emissions from grading, quarrying, and surface mining operations at sites which contain ultramafic rock. The provisions that cover these operations are found in the California Code of Regulations, Section 93105.

Emission Inventory

An emission inventory is an itemized list of emission estimates for sources of air pollution in a given area for a specified time period. Present and future year inventories are critical components of air quality planning and modeling. The ultimate goal of the planning process is to identify and achieve emission patterns that do not result in violations of ambient air quality standards.

Emissions are calculated by BAAQMD staff using various procedures. Emission computation methodology by source category is outlined in the BAAQMD publication, "Source Category Methodologies." The BAAQMD participates in the California Emission Inventory Technical Advisory Committee (EITAC) and maintains the best available inventory methodologies.

The emission inventory is divided into stationary, mobile, and biogenic sources.

The latest Emissions Inventory Summary Report (414 k PDF, 30 pgs) was published in May 2011.
