2008 PM2.5 Attainment Plan

On May 22, 2008, CARB approved the  District’s 2008 PM2.5 State Implementation Plan (2008 PM2.5 Plan). The 2008 PM2.5 Plan sets out the strategy to attain the federal 1997 Annual PM2.5 standard by 2015.

CARB amended the District's 2008 PM2.5 Plan on April 28, 2011. The revisions updated the rulemaking calendar and  transportation conformity budgets, and revised reasonable further progress tables and associated reductions for contingency purposes. With these revisions, U.S. EPA approved the 2008 SJV PM2.5 Plan on November 9, 2011, except for the contingency measures. To resolve the contingency measure disapproval, the District adopted an update to the contingency measures on June 20, 2013. CARB approved this update on June 27, 2013.
