HomeMy WebLinkAboutReso 1976-8190RESOLUTION NO. 8190 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE PROPOSED REGIONAL AIR QUALITY STRATEGY AND AIR MANAGEMENT PROCESS The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as follows: WHEREAS, air pollution is a major threat to health of the residents in Chula Vista, and WHEREAS, the Clean Air Act of 1970 requires that actions be taken to reduce photochemical oxidants and other air pollutants, and WHEREAS, the Transportation Control Plan promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency to improve air quality aroused substantial public opposition, and WHEREAS, the San Diego Air Quality Planning Team has studied the problem of air pollution and has evaluated alternative strategies for controlling it. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby approves the proposed Regional Air Quality Strategy and Air Management Process as shown in Attachments 1 and 2. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is inappropriate at this time to include tactics in the Regional Air Quality Strategy to reduce pollution which may be transported into San Diego from the South Coast Air Basin by meteorological forces. However, additional research into such pollutant transport (which APCD research suggests may be the cause of all occurrences of .20 ppm oxidant or higher) should be included as a part of the Regional Air Quality Strategy. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the state and federal governments are hereby strongly encouraged to apply evaporative and process loss controls similar to those being proposed herein for San Diego to other air basins so that San Diego will not be at a competitive economic disadvantage due to our strong local action to clean up the air.
