This is in response to your request that the Air Resources Board(ARB) staff brief you on the impacts of air pollution transported from other areas on ozone concentrations in your District. My staff would be pleased to present preliminary findings of our most recent transport assessments to your Board at its July 28, 1999,meeting. The ARB is required by the Health and Safety code to identify downwind areas in which ozone concentrations are impacted by air pollutants transported from upwind basins or regions. The code also requires the assessment of the relative contributions of these upwind emissions to downwind ozone concentrations to the extent permitted by available data(Health and Safety Code section 39610 (a) and (b)). The ARB is required to update this assessment at least once every three years (Health and Safety Code 39610 (d)). The first assessment was approved by the ARB in August 1990, and subsequent,triennial updates have occurred in 1993 and 1996. The ARB staff is now preparing the third triennial update. We plan to present preliminary findings at a mid-July 1999 public workshop. The 45-day public comment period for the ARB staff triennial update report will begin in mid-October 1999,and the ARB staff will report on the findings to the ARB at a public hearing on December 9, 1999. The third triennial update will include assessments of the impacts of transported emissions on ozone violations for selected California nonattainment areas including San Luis Obispo County, for the period from 1996 through 1998. The ARB staff will qualitatively define the extent to which ozone violations in receptor areas are the result of air pollutants emitted in upwind areas. The staff will use a suite of spatial and temporal analyses of available meteorological and air quality data to determine the degree of transport. This suite of analyses was described in the first triennial update report; dated June 1993 (1 have enclosed a copy). In the current assessment,the ARB staff will analyze new meteorological data, such as surface and aloft winds, and review recent ARB daily.airflow analyses and National Weather Service synoptic weather charts. In addition,the staff will analyze air quality data to determine the spatial and the temporal extents of these ozone California Environmental Protection Agency Printed on Reeyded Paper Table 2: Ambient Air Quality Standards Pvliutsn Averaging Mme California.Standard National Standard 1 Hour 0.09 ppm F x Ozone ... e 8 Houry k _ O:OS Ppm 8 Hour 9.0 ppm 9 PPm Carbon Monoxide 1 Hour 20 ppm 35 ppm Nitrogen Annual Average 0.053 ppm Dioxide 1 Hour 0.25 ppm (.

Each data bar represents the total number of hours in a given year in which the ozone concentrations exceeded 65 parts per billion. This concentration level is a useful indicator for trend purposes even though there are no health standards for single-hour exposures to 65 parts per billion of ozone. The location of the Paso Robles monitoring station was changed in 1991. Consequently, data from Paso Robles is incomplete for 1990 and 1991. The Nipomo graph includes data through September 1996 only (at which time the station was discontinued). Monitoring resumed at Nipomo in November 1.998.

BOX 13244, San Luis ObispAottachment: B 406 Atascadero City Council Meeting Date: 4/13/99 Public Corri'ment SLO GREEN PARTY. 4/13/99 At Atascadero City Council meeting: Increasing Ozone levels in SLO North-CO. We refer to our letter from 3/9/99 and ask again that our 4 specific requests be put on the agenda. Ozone is an indicator for smog in general. At ground level, it is a man-made pollutant known to cause impaired breathing and diminished lung capacity, especially in children. It also stunts the growth of crops, including wine. Other components of smog are known carcinogens. A recent Congressional study has found that the risks of cancer in L.A. are up to 426 times higher than health standards established by the 1990 federal Clean Air Act. Obviously, we do not want to repeat the mistakes made in the L.A.area, Robles and the SLO County Board of Supervisors all yet the cities of Atascadero and Paso are presently pursuing growth policies which will substantially increase traffic and smog in the North County. In the 1990 Citizen Involvement Questionnaire, the residents of Paso Robles declared the preservation of air quality as their number one priority, that was ahead of jobs, ahead of better streets and bridges, ahead of shopping centers and ahead of 10 other specific criteria. 80% of the residents wanted development only IF and WHEN adequate resources,_incl. air quality, are available. We-do.not believe that the residents of Atascaderofeet less strongly about the quality of their air. After all, what can be more important than the air we breathe. the measurements In 1998, there were 23 days of unhealthy air in Paso. Worse, for ozone trends indicate an additional approx. 120 days on which the air may become unhealthy in the future. That's bad air on more than.one out of every three daysl The APCD data show compelling evidence that a large portion of the ozone is transported into our area from the Inner Valley. That, however, leaves us in a precarious position for avoiding a further smog built-up here. With the population in the Valley expected to double by the year 2040 the smog transport is bound to get a lot worse. How do you want to mitigate that? Suing Fresno and Bakersfield? Moreover, Paso has already another 1600 homes approved. We can only hope that you will not follow that example. What we can do is adjusting our policies so that we don't add to the smog problem with our own "urban sprawl". In the short run, our requests will do that, incl. our call for a moratorium on all development which would increase traffic and smog. For the long run, our society must find alternatives to the combustion engine and to our reliance on fossil fuels. But until then we here in the North County would be well advised to heed the warnings from the APCD data. What are these stations for if not for the purpose of alerting us into action? We trust that you will take that action. Attachment:C Atascadero City Council Meeting Date: 4/13/99 John W. McNeil. 8765 Sierra Vista Rd. Atascadero , CA 93422 April 13 , 1999 City Council Atascadero , CA. Honorable Mayor and Council Members : All of us take pride in our democratic government . That govern- ment to be truly democratic must offer the opportunity to vote , but also must inform the electorate so that they can vote intelligently. Did I hear Amen! Amen! What is the most critical issue facing us in Atascadero today? Redevelopment . Who will determine how redevelopment will be used in Atascadero? The City Council. Who is the controlling agency? The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) . And who is that? The City Council . Who has the power to condemn -private ,property not for public benefit but for private profit. for' a few favored develo-pers? Who can incur- a large bond indebtedness �,rithout voter approval?-The City Council. Has the City Council wearing its CRA hat set up meetings to educate the public about redevelopment? Yes it has--meetings fol lowing the City Council meetings, that is Late at night ! How will the City Council acting as the CRA pay for redevelopment? Right out of your pocketbook as you could have guessed. How? By arbitrarily syphoning of the annual real property tax increments on your property and my property--money now flowing to schools,, fire and police , libraries , etc But have no fear. Your City _Council will use these funds Judi- ciously--that is for dearly loved friends and developers. Now all of this need not be a horror story of political conniving; redevelopment can be good for Atascadero. But, knowing the present City Council , what do you think? Sincerely and unapologetically, Attachment: D April 13, 1999 Atascadero City Council Meeting Date: 4/13/99 Mr. Mayor and Councilmembers : Wade McKinney was quoted in the Atascadero News :. "We encourage: the public to come to the Redevelopment Agency,-meeting and help the Agency clarify the community' s direction on this issue.." What a farce ! Any counc-ilperson or staff member who was serious about hearing from the public would schedule Agency meetings at an hour convenient to that public. It was no accident that all these meetings come late at night. It is no accident that the promised pro and con educational meetings which staff- claimed would be held: in a timely manner; have not been held. We oppose the taking of private property through condemnation for private gain of a few.. We oppose discussing such topics when the councilchambers are almost empty. I request, no, I demand that allRedevelopment Agency meetings be held at a time when the public can attend. I request that notice be given in more than one newspaper. Dorotfer Y.
