f Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-8 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project Lwith both the NAAQS and CAAQS for ozone. The San Joaquin Valley is nonattainment of the CAAQS for PM10 and PM2.5,but is in attainment of the NAAQS for PM10 and is nonattainment for the NAAQS PM23 standard. L Air quality plans developed to meet federal requirements are referred to as SIPS. The federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act 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 three plans for the SJVAB: • On April 26, 1996, the Board approved the Carbon Monoxide Re-designation Request and Maintenance Plan for Ten Federal Planning Areas as part of the SIP for CO. EPA approved this revision on June 1, 1998 and re-designated the ten areas to r attainment. On October 22, 1998, CARB revised the SIP to incorporate the effects L of the recent Board action to remove the wintertime oxygen requirement for gasoline in certain areas. On July 22,2004, CARB approved an update to the SIP that shows how the ten areas will maintain the standard through 2018, revises emission estimates, and establishes new on-road motor vehicle emission budgets for transportation conformity purposes." • The CARB submitted the 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan to ` EPA on schedule on November 15,2004. On August 21, 2008, the District adopted Clarifications for the 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan for 1- hour Ozone. On October 16, 2008, EPA proposed to approve the District's 2004 LExtreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan for 1-hour Ozone. Effective June 15,2005, the EPA revoked in full the federal 1-hour ozone ambient air quality standard, including associated designations and classifications, in all areas except L 14 early action compact areas that do not include the SJVAB.9 On March 8, 2010 EPA approved San Joaquin Valley's 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Plan for 1- hour ozone. L • The District Governing Board adopted the 2007 Ozone Plan on April 30,2007. This far-reaching plan,with innovative measures and a "dual path" strategy, assures expeditious attainment of the federal 8-hour ozone standard for all Valley residents.The CARB approved the plan on June 14, 2007. r'" • On September 25,2008, EPA re-designated the San Joaquin Valley to "attainment" for the PM10 NAAQS and approved the PMIo Maintenance Plan. The District i Governing Board adopted the 2008 PM2.5 Plan following a public hearing on April L 30,2008. This far-reaching plan will assure that the Valley will attain all the PM2.5 standards-the 1997 federal standards, the 2006 federal standards, and the state standard-as soon as possible." L The District Governing Board adopted the 2008 PM2.5 Plan on April 30, 2008.This Plan will assure that the Valley will attain the PM2.5AAQS as soon as possible.The CARB submitted the 2008 PM23 Plan to EPA on June 30,2008. The District Governing Board amended the 2008 PM2.5 Plan on June 17, 2010 to extend the rule L 7 Carbon Monoxide Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan for Ten Federal Planning Areas, http://www.arb.ca.gov/planning/sip/co/co.htm s Projects pertaining to the development of transportation infrastructure must conform to a set of Federal and State guidelines in order to be approved and authorized for funding.Transportation Improvement Plans 6.
