Proposed Rule 2301

Control of Emissions from New or Redevelopment Projects

Guide to South Coast AQMD Rules

The purpose of Proposed Rule 2301 - Control of Emissions from New or Redevelopment Projects is to mitigate emission growth from new residential, commercial, industrial and institutional development, and redevelopment projects. This proposed rule was previously referred to as Emission Growth Measure (EGM)-01 in the 2007 AQMP.

New development projects produce new sources of air pollution from new vehicle trips, use of consumer products, landscape maintenance, new stationary source processes such as fuel combustion, as well as emissions generated during construction activities. Each day millions of vehicles travel the roads in the South Coast Air Basin and the length of vehicle trips is expected to increase as outlying areas continue to be developed. In addition, older residential, commercial and industrial areas may undergo major redevelopment involving construction activities, with emissions comparable to new development projects. Redevelopment projects may also generate additional vehicular traffic compared to the projects they replace because redevelopment projects often involve increasing population density compared to the previous use. Redevelopment includes demolishing existing buildings, increasing overall floor area or building additional capacity on an existing property.

Stakeholder Working Group

The objective of the stakeholder working group is to solicit comments and suggestions regarding the development of Proposed Rule 2301 to develop an approach that will work toward the clean air goals for the region. Input and feedback from this group will directly effect the development of this new rule. The group will seek to address our public and private stakeholder concerns and discuss the parameters that would lead to a regulatory approach that addresses the region's air quality issues.
