4.1 – Air Quality Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.1-12 those persons or the public; or that cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. This section also applies to sources of objectionable odors. Safety Training on Valley Fever Assembly Bill 203 AB 203 adds Section 6709 to the Labor Code and requires employers to provide effective Valley Fever awareness and prevention training for all construction employees at risk of prolonged exposure to dust in Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, M onterey, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Tulare, and Ventura Counties annually and again before an employee begins work that is reasonably anticipated to cause exposure to substantial dust disturbance. Local San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District The SJVAPCD is the regional agency responsible for the regulation and enforcement of federal, state, and local air pollution control regulations in the SJVAB. The SJVAPCD jurisdiction includes all of Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Madera, Fresno, Kings, and Tulare Counties, and the San Joaquin Valley portion of Kern County. Air Quality Plans The SJVAPCD has prepared several air quality attainment plans to achieve the O 3 and PM standards, the most recent of which include the 2020 Reasonably Available Control Technology Demonstration for the 2015 8-Hour Ozone Standard (SJVAPCD 2020a); 2016 Plan for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard (SJVAPCD 2016a); 2014 Reasonably Available Control Technology Demonstration for the 8-Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan (SJVAPCD 2014a); 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-Hour Ozone Standard (SJVAPCD 2013); 2007 PM10 Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation (SJVAPCD 2007a); 2012 PM2.5 Plan (SJVAPCD 2012); 2015 Plan for the 1997 PM2.5 Standard (SJVAPCD 2015b); 2016 Moderate Area Plan for the 2012 PM2.5 Standard (SJVAPCD 2016b); and the 2018 Plan for the 1997, 2006, and 2012 PM2.5 Standards (SJVAPCD 2020b). The following sections summarize key elements of these and other recent air quality attainment plans. Extreme 1-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan The Extreme 1-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan, adopted by the SJVAPCD Governing Board October 8, 2004, sets forth measures and emission-reduction strategies designed to attain the federal 1-hour O3 standard by November 15, 2010, as well as an emissions inventory, outreach, and rate of progress demonstration. This plan was approved by the EPA on March 8, 2010; however, the EPA’s approval was subsequently withdrawn effective November 26, 2012, in response to a decision issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Sierra Club v. EPA, 671 F.3d 955) remanding EPA’s approval of these SIP revisions. Concurrent with the EPA’s final rule, CARB withdrew the 2004 plan. The SJVAPCD developed a new plan for the 1-hour O3 standard, the 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-Hour Ozone Standard, which it adopted in September 2013. 2007 8-Hour Ozone Plan The 2007 8-Hour Ozone Plan, adopted by the Governing Board on April 30, 2007, sets forth measures and a “dual path” strategy to attain the federal 1997 8-hour O3 standard by 2023 for the SJVAB by reducing emissions of O3 and PM precursors (SJVAPCD 2007b). The plan also includes provisions for improved pollution control technologies for mobile and stationary sources, as well as an increase in state and federal funding for incentive-based measures
