Summary
The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) has prepared a Draft 2004 Clean Air Plan and associated Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report. As required by the California Clean Air Act, the 2004 Clean Air Plan provides a three-year update to the 2001 Clean Air Plan. Previous plans developed to comply with the California Clean Air Act include the 1991 Air Quality Attainment Plan, the 1994 Clean Air Plan, and the 1998 Clean Air Plan. The 2004 Clean Air Plan includes previously adopted air pollution control measures and newly proposed and further study emission control measures. The 2004 Plan is not required to address any Federal Clean Air Act requirements. The 2004 Clean Air Plan will be submitted to the California Air Resources Board for approval.
