Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 08042009 - C.90RECOMMENDATION(S): AUTHORIZE County participation in the 2009 Spare the Air Program and REQUEST that each County department participate in the program. FISCAL IMPACT: None to the General Fund. Participation involves each department posting Spare the Air notices at the entrances to each County work site. BACKGROUND: The Spare the Air Program is a voluntary program organized by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) to encourage the public to take steps to protect air quality on days when ozone (smog) levels are expected to exceed the state and federal air quality standards. The current Spare the Air season is already underway and will typically last through mid-October. The BAAQMD has already declared two Spare the Air Days this year - Tuesday, April 21, 2009 and Tuesday, July 14, 2009. However, this year the Air District did not provide sufficient lead time to request authorization to participate in this season's declared days. Additional Spare the Air alerts can be anticipated by mid-October.

ATTESTED: August 4, 2009 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Katherine Sinclair, Deputy cc: C.90 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Director Date:August 4, 2009 Contra Costa County Subject:Authorize County Participation in the Spare the Air Day Program When smog conditions are expected to exceed standards, the BAAQMD will issue a Spare the Air alert to the County's Department of Conservation and Development, which in turn will alert all departments using the contact list attached as Exhibit A. Each department contact will have the opportunity to notify his/her departmental employees to refrain from unnecessary activities that contribute to air pollution. These activities include driving, refueling vehicles during the day, using gasoline-powered lawn mowers and leaf blowers, using lighter fluid when barbecuing, and using aerosol products and oil-based paints. Exhibit B is an example of a notice that could be posted at the entrances to each County work site during a Spare the Air alert. The BAAQMD advisories are also posted on their website ( BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) http://www.sparetheair.org), recorded on the 1-800-HELP AIR forecast phone line, announced in local newspapers, and broad-casted on local TV and radio stations. Information regarding Spare the Air day is also available through social networking internet sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The BAAQMD promotes participation in the Spare the Air Program as part of employers' Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs, since many of the Program's actions are also trip-reduction measures. Employees are encouraged to carpool, take public transit, bicycle, or walk to work. If feasible, employees could also telecommute provided that arrangements have been made with their supervisors. No free transit will be offered on Spare the Air Days this year. ATTACHMENTS Exhibit A Exhibit B Tuesday, July 14th is a SPARE THE AIR DAY Spare the Air Friday The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has forecasted that tomorrow will be a Spare the Air Day in the San Francisco Bay Area. Mañana es "Spare the Air" día. Por favor, conduce su coche lo menos posible el mañana. Clear skies, hot temperatures, a strong temperature inversion trapping pollutants near the ground, and light winds will combine to produce poor air quality for the Bay Area. What you can do Drive less, bike or walk to your destination. Ride transit, visit 511 Bay Area website to plan your trip: http://511.org/links/spare_the_air.asp. Walk to lunch or bring your lunch to work to avoid mid-day driving. Put off all nonessential trips and activities that require engines until the air is better. If you must refuel, do it after dark and don’t top off the tank. To monitor current air quality conditions and see the five day forecast, visit www.sparetheair.org. Thank you for helping to Spare the Air! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamar I.
