The Air District has issued the following prescribed burn notice effective October 17 -24, 2025.

The Air District will be holding a virtual webinar on April 10 from 6 -7 PM to provide an overview of the proposed budget for fiscal year (FY) 2025-2026 and proposed fee regulation amendments.

The Air District announced today it has reached two separate agreements with Chevron and Martinez Refining Company resulting in an end to the litigation against the agency over its groundbreaking Regulation 6, Rule 5, major emissions reductions from both refineries, unprecedented penalties and other payments of up to $138 million, and a Richmond-area Community Air Quality Fund, among other benefits. The Air District estimates that the emission reductions achieved by the rule will result in tens of millions of dollars per year in health benefits by reducing early deaths and other health impacts of exposure to particulate matter.

It has been reported that companies throughout the Bay Area have received letters dated January 1, 2025, February 1, 2025, and February 14, 2025, with misinformation about the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program. These letters were not sent by the Bay Area Air District or the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and contain misinformation. Please disregard these letters if you received them. If your company is registered in the Commuter Benefits Program, you can check the Commuter Benefits Program website to verify your company's registration in the system.

The Air District is announcing that Governor Gavin Newsom has signed AB 1465 into law, marking a major victory for public health and environmental justice in California. The bill, strongly supported by the Air District, triples the penalty ceilings for air quality violations at Title V sources, including refineries, significantly increasing the potential consequences for facilities that violate air quality regulations.

The Air District has released for public comment its latest draft 2026 Air Monitoring Network Plan, which describes the Air District’s regulatory air monitoring network for 2025 and lists proposed changes for the near future.
