CDAWG Regulatory Update – MDAQMD Alan De Salvio Supervising Air Quality Engineer
MDAQMD • Re-adopted road paving ERC rule with EIR - success • Vehicle buyback, lawnmower replacement (including cash for grass with water agencies), electric vehicle charging, plus other competitive grant programs thriving • Transforming Title V (in response to federal audit) and developing delegatable PSD program • Significant regional solar development continues (small and large) • Ozone amplitude and exposure continues to decline, minor improvement in particulate
MDAQMD Rule Development • Amendment to 1160 – Internal Combustion Engines to address presumptive Federal RACT District-wide down to 50 hp • Boilers and Cement Kilns will be next • We expect 70 ppmv eight hour standard (or lower) as next federal standard – trying to keep ahead of the curve
In addition • Strong community outreach and education effort, including support of Mojave Environmental Education Consortium (MEEC), science fairs, poster contest, solar cook-off, Exemplar awards, health advisories (high winds and wildfires) • Governing Board and Hearing Board turnover • Continue to make progress on carbon-neutral building (pv solar on roof and charging stations)
