Presenter:

Elaine Chang, Deputy Executive Officer, SCAQMD

The City of San Bernardino has been selected by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, (SCAQMD) to participate in a pilot program to improve the air quality of the city by tailoring reduction efforts to specific issues effecting the local community.  This tailored reduction plan is referred to as a Community Exposure Reduction Plan (CERP) and is part of the greater Clean Communities Plan (CCP) launched by the SCAQMD earlier this year.

 The 2010 Clean Communities Plan (CCP) is a planning document that outlines the overall control strategy for the SCAQMD’s air toxics control program. The plan is the continuing effort and update to both the Air Toxics Control Plan (ATCP) developed in 2000 and the subsequent Addendum in 2004. The 2010 CCP is comprised of traditional source-specific control measures and measures to address cumulative toxic impacts that affect neighborhoods and communities within the SCAQMD

 The elements of the 2010 CCP are:

·         community exposure reduction

·         community participation

·         communication and outreach

·         agency coordination

·         monitoring and compliance

·         source-specific programs

·         nuisance

 Tonight’s presentation will be provided by Elaine Chang, Deputy Executive Officer of the SCAQMD, and will focus on the Agency’s primary goals for the Clean Communities Plan and how the San Bernardino Pilot CERP is helping to launch the program.
