2010 Clean Air Plan

Note: The plan that was originally referred to as the “2009 Clean Air Plan” is now the 2010 Clean Air Plan.

On March 11, 2010, the Air District  released the Draft  Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (CAP), as well as a Draft Programmatic Environment Impact Report on the CAP.

The Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan will:

  • Update the Bay Area 2005 Ozone Strategy in accordance with the requirements of the California Clean Air Act to implement “all feasible measures” to reduce ozone;

  • Provide a control strategy to reduce ozone, particulate matter (PM), air toxics, and greenhouse gases in a single, integrated plan;

  • Review progress in improving air quality in recent years; and

  • Establish emission control measures to be adopted or implemented in the 2010-2012 timeframe.

Written comments on the Draft CAP and the DEIR must be received by the Air District no later than 5:00 pm on April 26, 2010.

Comments on the Draft Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan should be submitted to Alison Kirk.

Comments on the Draft Programmatic Environment Impact Report should be submitted to Greg Tholen.
