This is CARB's notice of approval of South Coast Air Quality Management District's (AQMD) submitted Project Plan to fund the purchase of portable, standalone air filtration systems and up to three years of replacement filters up to 100% of the cost for the homes of residents. This modified measure will allocate $3 million dollars from CAP funds for the East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, West Commerce communities. Additionally, South Coast Air Quality Management District may use up to 12.5 % of their grant funds for costs associated with administration and implementation of this plan. These air filtration systems will reduce exposure to air quality impacts from the recent fires in Los Angeles County. Air filtration devices must be CARB certified and have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating of 14 or greater.
