Area counties, including 101 cities
Governed by a 22-member Board of
Directors composed of elected officials
from each county
Total Bay Area population close to 7
million
Approximately 150 million daily vehicles

Recent ActionsRecent Actionsto Reduce Particulate Matter to Reduce Particulate Matter
Comprehensive Wood Smoke Rule
- Phase in mandatory wood burning curtailment on Spare the Air nights
- Require cleaner burning technology in new construction
- Visible emissions limitations
- Rule to Board on July 9, 2008
Charbroiler Rule
- Requires energy efficient control devices and sets VOC and PM emission standards for chain-
driven and underfired charbroilers
- Rule adopted in December 2007
Stationary Internal Combustion Engine Rule
- Lower emission limits and expand applicability to more engines
- Rule adopted July 2007

ChallengesChallenges
• More stringent ozone standards
• More stringent PM standards
• Emission reductions needed from all sources, no low hanging fruit left
• Goods movement emission reductions (federal sources)
• Climate change impacts on air quality, including an increase in ambient
temperatures and ozone formation conditions
• Implementation of the Global Warming Solutions Act (AB32)
