Support the proposed Air Toxics Program for the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District which would include the
following components:
( 1 ) Request the ARB and EPA to accelerate their
procedures for setting standards on air toxics.
( 2) Institute a comprehensive air toxics emissions
inventory program (which ( a) requires all applicants
to submit an air toxics emissions report and health
risk assessment; and (b) establishes a schedule for
regular reporting of air toxics emissions by all
other dischargers in the District) .
( 3 ) Establish an expanded air toxics monitoring network
to augment the ARB effort.
( 4 ) Develop a standardized health risk assessment process
and methodology.
( 5 ) Adopt as a primary goal within the BAAQMD the
reduction of relative risks due to air toxics
emissions.
( 6) Examine criteria, interim standards and guidelines
used by other agencies and organizations to regulate
air toxics and determine appropriateness for BAAQMD
use.
( 7) Cooperate with and encourage the implementation of a
prospective epidemiological cancer investigation and
study.
BACKGROUND
In December Supervisor McPeak requested and obtained support
in concept from the Board of Supervisors to introduce an air
toxics reporting and monitoring program at the BAAQMD. The
BAAQMD in January held a Board of Directors meeting and
public forum in Contra Costa County to discuss the issues.
Those meetings have provided input that suggests 'the above
program would be both appropriate and valuable. Councilman
Paul Cooper and Supervisor McPeak from Contra Costa County
will recommend the above actions to the BAAQMD Board of
Directors.
