• Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-9 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Revised Project • Air quality plans developed to meet federal requirements are referred to as SIPS. The federal • CAA and the California CAA require plans to be developed for areas designated as • nonattainment. Plans are also required under federal law for areas designated as "maintenance' for national standards. Such plans include strategies for attaining the standards. • Currently, there are four attainment plans in effect for the SJVAB: • • 1-Hour Ozone. Although EPA revoked its 19791-hour ozone standard in June 2005, • many planning requirements remain in place, and the SJVAB must still attain this • standard before it can rescind CAA Section 185 fees. The SJVAPCD's most recent 1-hour • ozone plan, the 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-hour Ozone Standard, demonstrated • attainment of the 1-hour ozone standard by 2017.However, the SJVAPCD is in the • process of requesting an EPA finding of attainment based on 2011-2013 ozone data. The SJVAPCD will continue working closely with ARB and EPA on this issue. • 8-Hour Ozone. The SJVAPCD's far-reaching 2007 Ozone Plan demonstrates attainment • of EPA's 1997 8-hour ozone standard by 2023. EPA approved the 2007 Ozone Plan • effective April 30, 2012. The SJVAPCD is now in the process of developing the 2016 • Ozone Plan to address EPA's 2008 8-hour ozone standard, which the Valley must attain • by 2032. This is a very tough standard that is nearing the SJVAB's naturally-occurring background concentrations. Attainment may not be possible without the virtual elimination of fossil fuel combustion. • • PM,o. Based on PM,o measurements from 2003-2006, EPA found that the SJVAB has • reached Federal PM,o standards. On September 21, 2007, the SJVAPCD's Governing , Board adopted the 2007 PMlo Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation. This • plan demonstrates that the Valley will continue to meet the PM10 standard. EPA approved the document and on September 25, 2008, the SJVAB was redesignated to • attainment/maintenance. • • PM2.5. The SJVAPCD's 2008 PM2.5 Plan demonstrated 2014 attainment of EPA's first PM2.5 • standard,set in 1997. EPA lowered the PM2.5 standard in 2006, and the SJVAPCD's 2012 • PM2.5 Plan showed attainment of this standard by 2019, with the majority of the SJVAB • seeing attainment much sooner. The SJVAPCD continues to work with EPA on issues surrounding these plans, including EPA implementation updates. EPA lowered the • PM2.5 standard again in 2012 and is in the process of completing attainment designations. • The SJVAPCD regulates, permits, and inspects stationary sources of air pollution, while the • State is responsible for emission standards and controlling actual tailpipe emissions from motor • vehicles. For the Forward Landfill, the relevant rules and regulations include: • • Rule 2201 —requires new and modified stationary sources of emissions to mitigate • emissions using best available control technology and to offset emissions when above • thresholds.' • • Rule 4102 Odors—establishes odor management practices and requirements to reduce • odors from creating a nuisance off site. • • s 'San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control astrict,http://ww .valleyairorg/transportation/ceqa ruleshtm • • • •
