The Bay Area Air District will host a public workshop on the draft Policy on Legal Action to Enforce Violations of Air District Regulations
, which outlines how the Air District uses legal action to enforce its regulations to further the agency’s mission of protecting public health and reducing historical and current environmental inequities. The public comment period closes on Monday, Nov. 30.
WHAT: Public workshop on the Air District’s new draft legal enforcement policy
WHO: Bay Area Air District and community members
WHEN: Monday, November 16, 6 - 7:30 p.m.
WHERE:
Bay Area Metro Center, Yerba Buena Room
375 Beale St., San Francisco, CA 94105

The Air District developed the draft with members of its Community Advisory Council and four AB 617 Community Steering Committees. Under the policy, the Air District will:
- Provide transparency into legal enforcement while protecting confidential cases;
- Hold violators accountable and protect public health in vulnerable communities;
- Deter violations and reverse harms from inequitable development decisions; and
- Use litigation strategically to change behavior in overburdened communities.
The policy makes clear that the Air District will not tolerate air quality violations in any Bay Area community. An annual report to the Board of Directors and communities will track progress.
Submit written comments by email to Legal_St@baaqmd.gov or by mail to the Office of the General Counsel, 375 Beale St., San Francisco, CA 94105.
