On November 5, 2010, the Governing
Board approved the 2010 Clean Communities Plan (CCP). The CCP is an
update to the 2000 Air Toxics Control Plan (ATCP)
and the 2004 Addendum. The objective of the 2010 CCP is to
reduce the exposure to air toxics and air-related nuisances
throughout the district, with emphasis on cumulative impacts.
The elements of the 2010 CCP are community exposure reduction,
community participation, communication and outreach, agency
coordination, monitoring and compliance, source-specific programs,
and nuisance. Below are links to the approved document and
resolution.

Clean Communities Plan Pilot Studies
The centerpiece of the 2010 Clean
Communities Plan is a pilot study where the AQMD staff will work
with community stakeholders to identify and develop solutions
community-specific to
air quality issues in two communities: (1) the City of San
Bernardino and (2) Boyle Heights and surrounding areas. Click
on the city below to find out more information about the Pilot
Study.
San Bernardino Pilot Study
Boyle Heights Pilot Study
Upon completion of the two pilot studies, the AQMD
staff will develop guidance that other communities can use to
address air quality issues specific to their community.
Grants
In order to help implement various
measures of the CCP, AQMD staff committed to exploring funding
opportunities via redirecting existing funds or identifying new
funding sources, including state or federal grant programs.

Air Quality and Health Near Railyards
There are two studies being conducted in the
pilot study areas regarding air quality and health near railyards.
Both studies are funded through the BP/AQMD Settlement Agreement
Public Benefits Program.
Loma Linda University BNSF Railyard Study
(PDF - 860k)
This study headed by Dr. Samuel Soret
focuses on health effects in the community near the BNSF railyard in
San Bernardino. This study will collect the health status of
community members using a survey instrument, and will assess cancer
incidence using data from the California Cancer Registry. The
study started at the beginning of 2011 and is scheduled to go
through 2012.
UCLA Railyard Study
Dr. John Froines of UCLA is
conducting a study that focuses on three communities near railyards
in the South Coast Air Basin - San Bernardino, Commerce/East LA, and
