As these issues can most effectively be addressed through strong partnerships between community members and local land - use agencies . Furthermore , the District recommends the County assess the emission reductions measures and strategies included in the CERP and address them in the VPA as appropriate , to align the County work with the air pollution and exposure reduction strategies and measures outlined in the CERP . For more information regarding the CERP approved for Stockton , please visit the District ' s website at : http : //community . valleyair . org /selected - communities/stockton / 2 ) Project Related Emissions At the federal level under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQS ) , the District is designated as extreme nonattainment for the 8 - hour ozone standards and serious nonattainment for the particulate matter less than 2 . 5 microns in size ( PM2 . 5 ) standards .
