Public Notice
Draft Environmental Impact Report for
2010 Clean Air Plan
Public Comment Period Starts November 8, 2010
Summary
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District)
has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the 2010
Clean Air Plan. The 2010 Clean Air Plan is a three-year update required
by the State of California to show how the District plans to meet the
state 8-hour ozone standard. The 2010 Clean Air Plan, and its associated
EIR, were developed to support and guide the District’s efforts to
control air pollutant emissions and reduce ambient air pollutant
concentrations within Santa Barbara County. Through adoption of
source-specific regulations for the control of ozone precursor
pollutants, the 2010 Clean Air Plan is designed to bring the region into
attainment of the state 8-hour ozone standard.
The 2010 Clean Air Plan applies to Santa Barbara County, the State
Tidelands and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). State Tidelands
facilities are located in coastal waters within three miles of the
coastline. OCS facilities are in waters within 25 miles of the seaward
boundaries of the state and located off the coast of Santa Barbara
County, which is the corresponding onshore area.
The District Board is a lead agency under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the 2010 Clean Air Plan, and will
use the Plan EIR in its decision-making process when it considers
whether to adopt the control measures included in the 2010 Clean Air
Plan as District rules. No significant environmental impacts were
identified for the 2010 Clean Air Plan; therefore, no mitigation
measures are included in the EIR.
