Under the Air Toxics
“Hot Spots” Information and Assessment Act, the operator of a facility must
provide notice to all exposed persons if, in the judgment of the AQMD, the
facility’s health risks assessment indicates there is a significant health
risk associated with air toxic emissions from the facility. The AQMD
public notification thresholds are as follows:
- Cancer risk > 10 in one
million, or
- Acute hazard index (HI) > 1, or
- Chronic HI > 1.
The notice is made in
accordance with procedures specified by the AQMD, which are as follows:
- Identify the impact area, that
is, the area above the notification thresholds;
- Distribute public notice
materials to all addresses and to parents of children attending school in
the area of impact;
- Conduct a public meeting; and
- Distribute copies of the
facility’s approved HRA to the public library closest to the facility and
all school libraries in the area of impact.
