A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING THE CITY
OF LODI'S BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL MEASURES FOR PARTICULATE
MATTER (DUST) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR
POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT'S PROPOSED REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin has been designated as Severe for
Particulate Matter; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Clean Air Act requires that the Severe Area Plan for the San
Joaquin Valley Air Basin contains Best Available Control Measures to mitigate and reduce
particulate matter emissions; and
WHEREAS, the Best Available Control Measures are demonstrated generally through
increase in stringency, which is demonstrated by documenting that the new measure addresses a
previously uncontrolled activity, and that the level of resources for enforcement have been
increased; and
WHEREAS, in addition to providing methods for cleaning the air, the adoption of these Best
Available Control Measures also works to ensure that restrictions are not imposed on transportation
funding; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, failure to adopt a complete and adequate
particulate matter plan, which contains adopted local government control measures, can result in
highway funding and approvals to be frozen until the requirements of the Clean Air act are deemed
to be satisfied; and
WHEREAS, the measures proposed by the City of Lodi highlight programs that are already
in place throughout the City.
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve and implement the City
of Lodi's Best Available Control Measures for Particulate Matter (dust) in accordance with the San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's Proposed Regulations.
