The Sacramento Federal Nonattainment Area (SFNA) for ozone consists of Sacramento and Yolo counties and portions of El Dorado, Placer, Solano, and Sutter counties. The SFNA has been designated as nonattainment with severe classification for the 2008 and 2015 ozone standards. Sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9) of the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) require ozone nonattainment areas classified as serious and higher (severe or extreme) to include contingency measures in its SIP. Following the guidance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), the SFNA air districts has prepared a SIP Revision. This proposed SIP Revision identifies the proposed contingency measures for volatile organic compounds and includes an infeasible demonstration for nitrogen oxides contingency measures. This SIP Revision will be submitted to each SFNA air district Governing Board for approval by its meeting schedule. And the final document will be submitted to U.S. EPA for final approval.
The proposed SIP Revision of Contingency Measure and Reasoned Justification will be available on the District's website and comments regarding the proposed SIP Revision may be submitted in writing to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District at 110 Maple Street, Auburn, CA 95603. All written comments shall be submitted to the District by no later than October 10, 2024. Inquiries may be directed to Yushuo Chang at (530) 745-2325.
