The 2012 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) will incorporate the latest scientific and technological
information and planning assumptions, including the 2012 Regional
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy and updated emission
inventory methodologies for various source categories.
The development of the 2012 AQMP will face several challenges, including new
and changing federal requirements, implementation of new technology
measures, and the continued development of economically sound, flexible
compliance approaches.
Advisory groups have been convened to assist in the development of past
AQMPs. The mission of the AQMP Advisory Group is to review the overall
aspects of the AQMP development and make recommendations. The
membership roster for the
Advisory Group for the 2012 AQMP was
approved by
the AQMD Governing Board at its July 8, 2011 meeting.
The Scientific, Technical, and Modeling Peer Review Advisory Group (STMPR)
will also convene and three of its members will serve on the AQMP
Advisory Group.
On September 28 and 29, 2011, the SCAQMD hosted an
Air Quality Technology
Symposium at the Diamond Bar Headquarters to solicit new and innovative
concepts in an open forum. These concepts are being further analyzed for
potential inclusion in the 2012 AQMP, which is
currently being developed as an integrated plan to implement zero or
near-zero emission measures to reach attainment of particulate matter and
ozone standards.
