CARB held a public hearing on July 22, 1999 to consider the San Francisco Bay Area Ozone Attainment Plan for the 1-Hour National Ozone Standard (1999 Bay Area Plan) as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Plan includes a 1995 emission inventory for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx); an assessment of the emission reductions needed to attain the ozone standard by 2000; a control strategy; a new transportation conformity budget; and contingency measures. The District is committing to adopt new controls for polystyrene manufacturing, organic liquid storage, and gasoline dispensing facilities, as well as two new measures affecting aeration of contaminated soils.
