7. Bay Area Key Regulatory Updates • Bay Area Regional Air Quality Update • New Refinery Emissions Tracking Rule • CARE Program Update • Climate Change Resolution & Work Plan

8. Summary of Ozone Seasons Spare the Air Alerts: 5/3, 6/7, 6/8, 6/29, 8/18, 9/7 Days > 0.075 ppm 8-hour NAAQS: 5/2, 5/3, 6/7 Health Advisories were issued on 7/29 and 9/8 due to PM2.5impacts caused by wildfires

9. Winter PM2.5 Seasons • Spare the Air Alert Called for: 1/1, 1/2, 1/8, 1/16, 1/17, 1/18, 1/19, 1/23, 1/25, 2/2 • Days > 35 µg/m3 24-hr NAAQS: 1/23 Season Began November 1st and Ended February 28th

10. Refinery Emissions Tracking Rule Purpose of new rule being developed • Issue: Changing crude oil slates (or other factors) may lead to increased air emissions at refineries over time • Basic approach to address this issue • Similar to that used in Air District Reg. 12-12: Flares at Petroleum Refineries • Track air emissions and community air quality over time, and make information available to the public • If annual emissions from a refinery increase by more than a small amount: • Require that the cause be analyzed and disclosed • Require that feasible measures be taken to reduce emissions expeditiously Description of preliminary draft rule • Emissions Tracking / Emissions Reduction • Air Monitoring

11. Description of Draft Rule: Emissions Reduction • Emission Reduction Plans • Required if emissions from refinery increase above trigger-levels • Causal analysis • Identify air emission reduction measures to be implemented • Measures sufficient to reduce emissions below trigger-levels within 2 years, or • All feasible measures based on results of refinery-wide emission reduction audit • Measures must be implemented on an expeditious schedule • Plans must be updated annually, until emissions are reduced below trigger-levels, to consider additional feasible measures based on advances in technology (or other factors) 6

12. Description of Draft Rule: Air Monitoring • Air Monitoring Plans • Must include fence-line and community air monitoring systems • System design must be consistent with Air Monitoring Guidelines (being developed) • Expert Panel (meeting being scheduled for July 11, 2013) • Each refinery must submit plan to the Air District by Dec. 31, 2014 • Monitoring systems must be operational within 1-year of plan approval

13. CARE Program Update • Goals of Program • Focus actions/engagement where most needed • High pollution impacts, vulnerable populations • Updating Maps Using latest data • Add additional air pollutants • In addition to toxic compounds: fine particles and ozone • Use new methods • Estimate health outcomes from air pollution • Use health records to reflect vulnerability

14. CARE Program Update • Air Monitoring Plans • Must include fence-line and community air monitoring systems • System design must be consistent with Air Monitoring Guidelines (being developed) • Expert Panel (meeting being scheduled for July 11, 2013) • Each refinery must submit plan to the Air District by Dec. 31, 2014 • Monitoring systems must be operational within 1-year of plan approval

15. Toxic Air Contaminants Decreasing 2005 – Cancer Risk 2015 – Cancer Risk

16. Regional Air Pollution Mapped to ZIP code areas Ozone Interpolated measurements Mean 8-hour daily max. above 40 ppb (2010-2011) PM2.5 Modeled annual average (2010) Cancer Risk Modeled annual average (2015)

17. Pollution-Vulnerability Index • Metric to combine health impacts from air pollution • Increased death rate • Increased health costs • Increased cancer risk • Use base health rates from each zip code • Ranks of these three impacts were summed • Expressed as a percent of maximum sum

18. Revised Impacted Communities • Map top 15% of pollution-vulnerability index • Develop boundaries to encompass areas with highest index • Consider where emissions are likely to contribute • Use major roadways, coast and county boundaries to form lines

19. Climate Change Resolution & Work Plan • Air District has been a leader in climate protection since 2005 • Much activity at state, regional, and local levels • State: Scoping Plan Update • Regional: Plan Bay Area • Local: more than 50 local climate action plans • The time is right to assess and focus Air District climate protection program • Use the 2014 Clean Air Plan as a framework for regional climate protection strategy

20. The Resolution • Key elements of the Resolution • Set a regional GHG reduction goal • Initiate a regional climate protection planning process • Develop a work program to inform Air District climate protection activities

21. The Regional Goal • Reduce GHGs 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 • From Gov. Schwarzenegger’s Executive Order S-3-05 • Where we must be in order to achieve climate stabilization “Scientific evidence indicates that global emissions must be reduced 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 to achieve climate stabilization.” -- Draft Scoping Plan Update Air Resources Board October, 2013

22. The Regional Planning Process • Initiate a Regional Climate Protection Planning Process • Collaborate with regional agency and local government partners • Utilize 2014 Clean Air Plan as a • framework • Complement state, regional and • local planning efforts

23. Draft Work Program • Draft Work Program Elements • Set GHG Reduction Goal • Regional goal consistent with statewide goal for 2050 • Update GHG Inventory and Forecasting • More forecast years • “Scenario forecasting” • Implement GHG emissions monitoring • Partnership with UC Berkeley • Develop Regional Climate Action Strategy • Pull pieces together into one framework • Focus on addressing policy gaps

24. Draft Work Program • Draft Work Program Elements, cont. • Support & Enhance Local Action • Provide data, technical assistance, explore funding • Maintain/update CEQA thresholds and guidance • Support CAPCOA GHG Exchange for offsite mitigation • Accelerate Rule Development • Reduce short-lived climate pollutants • Enhance federal requirements on power plants • Increase heat island mitigation • Reduce energy use in built environment

25. Draft Work Program • Draft Work Program Elements, cont. • Expand Enforcement • Continue collaboration with ARB on new regulations • Launch Climate Change & Public Health Initiative • Collaborate with local, regional & state health professionals • Focus on air quality and public health impacts • Report Progress to the Public • Use indicators to track, report progress • Explore Bay Area’s Energy Future • Advisory Council investigates technical issues 41.3 7.4 17.5 27.6
