. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Residents of the San Joaquin Valley suffer some of the worst
air quality in the world. This poor air quality poses a significant
threat to public health, the environment, and the economy of the
valley.
(b) The extreme difficulty for the valley to meet state and
federal ambient air quality standards requires an urgent and unified
program that combines more strict clean air rules and regulations and
ongoing funding to clean up those sources that cannot be regulated
effectively.
(c) The purpose of this chapter is to establish a program for the
San Joaquin Valley to achieve state and federal ambient air quality
standards by the earliest practicable date.
