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. • PMlo. Based on PMIo measurements from 2003-2006, EPA found that the SJVAB has reached Federal PMIo standards. On September 21, 2007,the SJVAPCD's Governing Board adopted the 2007 PMIo 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. • PM2.1. 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.7 • Rule 4102 Odors—establishes odor management practices and requirements to reduce odors from creating a nuisance off site.
