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.
We anticipate that this group will convene on a regular basis in 2008
through early 2009 as part of the rule development process.
