39668
. (a) The state board shall, on or before January 1, 1989,
prepare a written report on the availability and effectiveness of
toxic air contaminant monitoring options in consultation with the
Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants, the districts, the
Department of Food and Agriculture, and the State Department of
Health Services. In preparing the report, the state board shall
conduct at least one public workshop. The report shall include, but
not be limited to, all of the following:
(1) An evaluation of existing toxic air contaminant monitoring
capacity and assessment capabilities within the state, including, but
not limited to, existing monitoring stations and equipment of the
state board and of the districts.
(2) An analysis of the available options for monitoring and
assessing current levels of exposure to identified and all potential
toxic air contaminants in urban areas of the state, taking into
consideration the technical feasibility and costs of these monitoring
options. The report shall evaluate the extent to which the
establishment of additional monitoring capacity is appropriate and
feasible to facilitate the identification and control of toxic air
contaminants.
(3) A list of all substances or classes of substances addressed by
the state board pursuant to paragraph (2), including, but not
limited to, a discussion of the appropriateness and availability of
monitoring for those substances or classes of substances.
(4) An analysis of the feasibility and costs of establishing an
indoor toxic air contaminant monitoring program to facilitate the
implementation of Section 39660.5.
(b) Based on the findings in the report prepared pursuant to
subdivision (a), the state board shall develop, by July 1, 1989, in
conjunction with the districts, guidelines for establishing
supplemental toxic air contaminant monitoring networks to be
implemented by the districts. The board shall develop the guidelines
only to the extent that it determines, pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a), that establishing additional monitoring capacity is
appropriate and feasible.
(c) The guidelines established pursuant to subdivision (b) shall
include a priority list for establishing and implementing the
supplemental toxic air contaminant monitoring networks. The state
board shall give priority to that supplemental monitoring capacity it
determines to be most needed to identify and control toxic air
contaminants. The state board shall allocate to districts, in the
priority order included in the guidelines, state funds provided in
subdivision (b) of Section 3 of the act adding this section and in
subsequent Budget Acts for establishing and implementing the
supplemental toxic air contaminant monitoring networks. The state
board shall allocate state funds to the districts, upon appropriation
by the Legislature, on a 50 percent matching basis, and shall not
provide state funds for the supplemental toxic air contaminant
monitoring program established by Section 40715 to any district in
excess of district funds allocated by the district in establishing
and implementing the supplemental monitoring networks created
pursuant to Section 40715.
(d) The state board shall request in its annual budget sufficient
state funds, in addition to those provided in subdivision (b) of
Section 3 of the act adding this section, to match, on a 50 percent
basis, those district funds allocated by the districts for
establishing and implementing the supplemental monitoring program
specified in the guidelines adopted pursuant to subdivision (b).
