Section 40925.5 Of Chapter 10. District Plans To Attain State Ambient Air Quality Standards From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 10.
40925.5
. (a) A district which is nonattainment for the state ozone
standard shall be designated "nonattainment-transitional" by
operation of law if, during a single calendar year, the state
standard is not exceeded more than three times at any monitoring
location within the district.
(b) Any district which is designated nonattainment-transitional
under subdivision (a) shall review its plan for attaining the state
ozone standard and shall determine whether the stationary source
control measures scheduled for adoption or implementation within the
next three years by the district are needed to accomplish expeditious
attainment or to maintain the state standard following the projected
attainment date. In making that determination, the district shall
consider air quality trends, the effect of the state's adopted and
proposed motor vehicle and area source control programs, turnover of
the vehicle fleet, the impact of measures previously adopted by the
district, the state board, and the Environmental Protection Agency
which are in the process of being implemented, and other significant
factors influencing emissions trends.
(c) If a nonattainment-transitional district determines that one
or more of the stationary source control measures scheduled for
adoption or implementation within the next three years are no longer
necessary to accomplish expeditious attainment or to maintain the
state standard, the district shall shift those measures to the
contingency category.
(d) If a nonattainment-transitional district determines that
delaying one or more stationary source control measures will not
retard the achievement of the state ozone standard, it may delay that
measure.
(e) Subdivisions (c) and (d) shall not apply to any stationary
source control measures required by Section 39610. In addition,
subdivisions (c) and (d) shall be suspended at any time that the
district ceases to qualify for a nonattainment-transitional
designation under subdivision (a).
(f) Actions of any district pursuant to this section are effective
immediately. The state board may disapprove any action of the
district pursuant to this section within 90 days of the action. The
state board shall not disapprove district actions pursuant to this
section unless it finds that the actions will delay expeditious
attainment of the state ozone standard. Actions taken by the state
board pursuant to this subdivision are subject to Section 41503.4.
(g) Actions of any district pursuant to subdivisions (c) or (d)
shall be reviewed by the district in connection with its next review
and revision of its attainment plan pursuant to Section 40925.
