Adopt Resolution Accepting Requirements of CARB’s Lawn and Garden
Equipment Replacement Program, Recognize Funds and Execute Contracts to
Conduct 2011 Lawnmower Exchange Program
At its October 1, 2010 meeting, the Board approved release of Program
Announcements to solicit competitive bids from cordless electric
lawnmower manufacturers, licensed scrappers and support service
providers for the 2011 Lawnmower Exchange Program.
At that time, CARB cost-share was anticipated through their AB
118 AQIP Program. This action is
to adopt a resolution accepting the requirements of CARB’s AB 118 AQIP
Lawn and Garden Equipment Replacement Program 2010-11, and recognize
funds in the amount not to exceed $444,883 from CARB to purchase
additional lawnmowers and $49,931 for project administration and
outreach. These actions are also
to execute contracts with two manufacturers in an amount not to exceed
$541,200 each; a licensed scrapper in an amount not to exceed $45,000; a
support service provider in an amount not to exceed $30,000; and to
transfer $60,000 from the AQIP Special Revenue Fund to carry out the
2011 Lawnmower Exchange Program.

Appropriate
Funds for Contracts for CEQA Analysis for Proposed Expansion and
Modernization of Union Pacific’s Intermodal Container Transfer Facility
In 2008, the Board entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the
Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) Joint Powers Authority
(JPA) to prepare the CEQA documents for the Union Pacific Railroad’s
ICTF Proposed Expansion and Modernization Project. The JPA agreed to
reimburse the AQMD for the not-to-exceed amount of $2.5 million for
preparation of these CEQA documents. To date, the Board has approved a
total of $1.5 million for this project. AQMD staff has concluded that
additional funds are necessary to continue working on the CEQA
documents, due to extensive scope of analysis. This action is to
authorize the appropriation of an additional $500,000 from the
Undesignated Fund Balance to the Planning, Rule Development and Area
Sources FY 2010-11 Professional and Special Services Account Budget.
Money will be allocated to the consultants on an as-needed basis. All
amounts will be reimbursed by the ICTF JPA overseeing the
project, and ultimately paid by Union Pacific Railroad.

Report on
Proposed Revisions to PM2.5 and Ozone State Implementation Plan for
South Coast Air Basin and Coachella Valley
On November 22, 2010, U.S. EPA published its notice of proposed partial
approval and partial disapproval of the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan
(AQMP) PM2.5 Plan primarily because the attainment demonstration relies
heavily on emissions reductions from several State rules that have not
been finalized or submitted to U.S. EPA for approval. The proposed
revision to the PM2.5 and ozone SIP addresses the critical issues of the
disapproval by updating the implementation status of the AQMP control
measures to meet the 2015 PM2.5 attainment. The proposed SIP revision
retains the AQMD’s proposal for contingency measures and also references
and relies on CARB’s proposed contingency measures. In addition, the SIP
revision will re-initiate its request that U.S. EPA voluntarily accept
reduction responsibility for 10 TPD NOx emissions in 2014 but will
propose that AQMD and CARB jointly provide a “fair share” backstop
emissions reduction proposal, if necessary.
