THE SAN DIEGO AIR QUALITY PROGRAM
A regional cooperative effort of the County of San Diego,
Cities of the San Diego Region, Comprehcnsivo Plammrwa Organization, and Air Pollution Control District.
THE SAN DIEGO AIR QUALITY PROGRAM - SUMMARY
Local governments in the San Diego County region have undertaken a joint effort
to develop, adopt, and implement a Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS),to meet
federal air quality standards. This effort was begun in 1974 with the estab-
lis's11nent of the Air Quality Planning Team and the Air Quality Task Force. The
latter is composed of a policy committee of elected officials, a management com-
mittee, and a community panel. The Air Quality Planning Team was compos.-d of
Staff from the participating agencies including the County of Sap, Diego, Citl
of San Diego, Comprehensive Planning Organization (CPO), Air Pollution Control
District, and California Department of Transportation. The Team members worked
together for 18 months, completed their technical work, and published their report
in April 1976 entitled Regional Air Quality Strategies for the San Diego Air Basin.
The report set forth three alternative strategies which can meet the national
ambient air quality standard for oxidant (smog) in 1985 and maintain it through
the year 2000. The report deals with all pollutant sources, both fixed and mobile,
and proposes air pollution control tactics which are the host cost effective,
regardless of source. The report covers the costs of the strategies, their
effectiveness in reducing pollution and in meeting other environmental, social,
and economic goals, and a process for continuouslAy monitoring and implementing
them --the air management process. Other pollutants dealt with in the report, but
in less detail, are sulfur oxides, particulates, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides.
In April 1976, the CPO Board of Directors and the Air Pollution Control Board
(County Board of Supervisors) heard a presentation of the final report on the
Regional Air Quality Strategy and authorized that presentations on the report be
made to local jurisdictions within the region. The object of these presentations
was to seek the review of the alternative strategies by local jurisdictions and to
seek their approval prior to bringing a final recommendation on a strategy to the
CPO Board of Directors and the Air Pollution Control Board for theiv adoption
and subsequent submission to the California Air Resources Board and the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency. All 13 cities within the region reviewed the
strategies and approved one of them during May and June 1976.
On June 21, 1976, the CPO Board of Directors reviewed file actions taken by its
member agencies and unanimously adopted the Regional Air Quality Strategy and
Air Management Process (AMP) recommended by the Program Coordination Group, the
management committee. At its meeting of August 25, 1976, the Air Pollu-
tion Control Board (APCB) discussed the alternative strategies and also adopted
the strategy recommended by the Program Coordination Group. However, the Board
did not adopt the AMP at that time because it did not agree that the APCB and the
cities and CPO should continue to have ,joint air quality planning responsibility
as had existed in the preparation of the RAQS.

r
Becat-se of the disagreement on the AMP, the CPO and APCB formed a conference
committee of their members to develop an institutional structure for future air
quality planning which would be acceptable to both. The conference committee
reached agreement on a revised AN1P which was adopted by the APCB on December 7,
1976, and the CPO on December 20, 1976. Attached is a_copy of the RAQS and ANIP
as adopted by both Boards. They were transmitted to the California Air Resources
Board and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency on December 22, 1976 jointly
by CPO and the APCB.
As part of that submittal, it was requested that the Governor of California desig-
nate the CPO and APCB as co -lead agencies responsible for preparing the Air
Quality Maintenance Plan (AQ%P) for the San Diego Air Basin. On February 15,
1977, the Executive Officer of the Air Resources Board (ARB) responded by formally
designating APCB and CPO as lead agencies for AQ1,1P development along with the
A2B as the agency with state responsibility. He stated that "the mutual agree-
ment by CPO and APCB on a cooperative air management process seems to provide a
viable institutional framework for development of the Aq-1P."
1ne strategy recommended by the Program Coordination Group (PCG) and adopted by
CPO and the APCB is a modification of one of the three alternative strategies
prepared by the Air Quality Planning Team. It includes all the tactics in Alter-
native "B", plus modified versions of two of the tactics from Alternative "A";
namely, (1) vapor recovery at 950, and (2) coordinated land use and transportation
actions. The PCG also recommended an air management process.
The clarification of the vapor recovery tactic is shown in Attachment 3. It
suggests that 951 a4_overy of vapors may be achieved with little or no change
in the current regulatory program (which requires 90% recovery), assuming that
secondary recovery systems are in fact installed and that the State and Federal
requirements for standardized automobile fill pipes are implemented.
The modified land use and transportation process is described in Attachment 4.
It proposes to achieve air quality improvements through coordinated land use
and transportation actions by local general purpose governments, the Comprehen-
sive Planning Organization, and transit authorities. This proposed process differs
from Tactic T1 in Alternative Strategy "A" in that it recognizes the validity
of both local general plans and the Regional Comprehensive Plan as officially
adopted land use and transportation policies in the San Diego Region and envisions
bringing about compatibility of these plans through a cooperative process between
local agencies and CPO.
The Air Management Process (AMP) described in Attachment 2 will continue the coop-
erative interaction that has existed for the last 2h years of the San Diego Air
Quality Program. The A�IP provides for implementation of air quality tactics by
the jurisdiction with the appropriate responsibility. The three groups that
coordinated the preieration and adoption of the RAQS will continue to function
during its implementation and refinement. The Policy Advi,lory Committee (PAC)
composed of elected officials and community leaders will monitor the overall RAQS
program and submit recommendations for program improvement or implementation modi-
fications to the cities, the County, and CPO. The Community Resource Panel (CRP)
consisting of a broad cross-section of public interests and affected public agencies
2
will monitor the implementation of the RAQS and submit recommendations to the
PAC. The Program Coordination Croup (PCG) composed of a designated represen-
tative from the APCD, CPO, County, City of San Diego, and the County -City
Managers' Association, will be yesponsible for monitorinb program implementation,
pursue resolution of administrative problems, identify needs for revision of the
RAQS and commence administrative action to effect such revision. The PCG will
also review and coordinate work programs for the implementation and/or revision -
of the RAQS and for producing the Air Quality Maintenance Plan (AgIP). The pro-
cess for adopting and amending the RAQS and proposed for adopting the AW is
shown in Figure 1.
The AMP also describes the functional responsibilities of the cooperating agencies
as follows:
1. Comprehensive Planning Organization for the San Diego Region (CPO) - The
council of governments for the San Diego Region, the metropolitan planning
organization, the regional transportation planning agency, and the A-95
areawide clearinghouse, responsible for implementing transportation manage-
ment tactics through its member jurisdictions.
2. San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) - Governed by the Air
Pollution Control Board (County Board of Supervisors), responsible for con-
trol of fixed sources of air pollution, air pollution monitoring, emissions
inventories, meteorological analysis, and operation of air quality models.
3. California Department of Transportation, District 11 (CALTRANS) - Jointly
responsible with CPO for transportation planning, regional motor vehicle
emissions analysis, and operation of transportation air pollution reduction
programs (e.g., carpools).
4. Local jurisdictions in the San Diego Region - Responsible for land use con-
trol and implementation of some land use and transportation air quality contiais.
'Concurrently, CPO and the APCD are proceeding to coordinate programs in regional
air quality, transportation, and :eater quality. CPO has been designated as the
Areawide Water Quality Planning Agency under Section 208 of the 1972 Amendment
of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL 92-500). As part of the work plan
for the Areawide Water Quality Program, CPO and the APCD have prepared an air
quality element. The element provides for: (1) the development and use of an
air pollution diffusion model to evaluate and refine the RAQS; (2) thy, implemen-
tation of the RAQS; and (3) the coordination preparation of the Air Quality D;ain-
tenance Plan and the Water Quality Management Plan. CPO and APCD have negotiated
a contract for air quality work by the APCD to be funded by $180,300 of the Area -
wide Water Quality grant to CPO from EPA.

PROPOSED AIR MWNGiMIrr PROCESS Ate
AIR QUALITY' PROGBAiM COORDIX&TIO\ GR:1UP
*Policy Summary
The Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) is a joint effort involving the en-
tire community; the County of San Diego, the cities of San Diego County and the
Comprehensive Planning Organization. This attachment is designed to provide
a cooperative process wherein each agency in the County which has a functional
responsibility for a part of the clean air program will r:,tain authority apd
responsibility in that functional area.
Technological controls over fixed sources, for instance, are clearly the res-
ponsibility of the APCB and authority in this area rests with the APCB. Land
use and transportation responsibility, is jointly held by the County, the cities,
the Port Authority, and the Comprehensive Planning Organization. Functional
responsibilities in those areas rest with the respective jurisdictions.
The overwhelming majority of RAQS control tactics are technological controls
for which the APCB is lead agency. Once this region has achieved clean air
standards, however, it is likely that land use and transportation tactics will
take on greater importance in maintaining the standards. Decisions to impose
tactics; whether they are technical controls over direct sources of land use and
transportation measures, affect each agency in this region.
.It is appropriate therefore that an air management process is approved which
recognizes lead agency responsibility in keeping with.. the responsibility and
authority that the agency has in a functional area and that the RAQS and this
process be jointly submitted to the ARB and EPA by the APCB and the CPO.
Coordination Process
Achieving and maintaining clean air standards requires land use and transporta-
tion strategies as well as technological controls over direct pollution sources.
The combined strategies and controls will affect all San Diegans, the business
community and all local governments. Success of the program requires a system
of public involvement and inter -agency coordination. Toward that end, the fol-
lowing management process is designed to assure monitoring of program effective-
ness and provide the opportunity for program revision through continued in-
volvement of interested and affected citizens, groups, and local government.
1. The responsibility and authority of existing agencies will be used to
carry out the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS); no new agencies
will be created.
2. The Air Pollution Control District (APCD) will be responsible .For air
pollution monitoring: emissions invontorying; meteorological analysis;
operation of air quality models; raid investigation, implementation,
and enforcement of technological controls.
3. The cities in San Diego County, the County.op San Diego, the Compre-
hensive Planning Qrganization (CPQ), the Unified port District, and
other appropriate agencies will include air quality considerations inn
all land use and transportation actt=s subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) br addressing consistency
with the RAQS as part of required Environmental Impact Reports.
Q. The CPO will be responsible for providing liaison among the cities
involved in carrying out and/or updating the Regional Air Quality
Strategy. The CPO 4111 be responsible for providing coordination
between the Section 208 Water Quality Planning Program and the
Regional Air Quality Strategy.
S. The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of the Chairman of
the CPO Board of Directors, Mayor of the City of San Diego, and two
members of the County Board of Supervisors shall continue. The PAC
will monitor the overall program of the RAQS and ivrill submit to the
cities, the County, and the CPO Board of Directors recommendations
for program impr -gent or implementation modifications.
6. The Community Resource Panel consisting of a broad cross section of
public interests and affected public agencies shall continue to func-
tion. Filling of vacancies or additional appointments shall be recom-
mended by the Panel and approved by the Policy Advisory Committee.
The Community Resource Panel shall monitor the implementation of the
RAQS and submit recommendations to the PAC. The Ccaunity Resource
Panel shall also function as a subcommittee of the Water Quality
Program Areawide Planning Advisory Committee.
Air Quality Program Coordination Group
7. An Air Quality Program Coordination Group shall be composed of a
designated representative from the Air Pollution Control Board, the
CPO, the County of San Diego, the City of San Diego, and the County -
City Managers' Association. The Group shall monitor the total air
quality program, evaluate the effectiveness of tactics being imple-
mented, identify needs for revision of the RAQS, recomnend alterna-
tives for such revision, and assist in intergovernmental coordination
and information. The Group will report at least quarterly to the
Community Resource Panel and Policy Advisory Committee on the status
of program implementation. The Group will also pursue resolution of
intergovernmental, air quality strategy administrative problems, and
identify needs for revision of the RAQS and reconnnend alternatives
to effect such revision. The Group shall, as necessary, hold joint
meetings with the water Quality Program :Management Committee.
8. Via work program will be developed by implementing agencies according
to functional responsibilities e.g., the Al'CD will perform a regional
air quality impact analysis, the CPO will provide growth projections
and prepare long-range transportation plans and coordinate air
quality improvement efforts of the affected general purpose governments
and special districts. County and City; governn eiits will carry out
those actions as needed for which ;:hey are, lead agency as defined in
the RAQ5 and CEQA.
9. The CPO will appoint one person to act as staff to the -Air Quality
Program Coordination Group.

CLARIFICATION OF TACTIC P7,
VAPOR RECOVERY AT 95%
Tactic P7 calls for an increase in the control of vapors in the
storage and transfer of gasoline from, 90% (present rule) to 95%,
in 1985. As indicated in the description of P7 in the Air
Quality Planning Team Final Report, it is quite possible that
no significant hardware changes would be involved. Processing
units that have been tested by the Air Pollution Control District
(APCD) indicate that a 95% efficiency or greater can be achieved.
The problems with the systems are reliability and collection
efficiency at the vehicle.
Reliability is improving as minor technical problems are resolved
Reliability can be maintained with an active enforcement program,
as planned by the APCD. Finally, the State's 90-day "hands off"
And 3-year warranty requirements for certification should further
improve the systems.
Efficiency at the nozzle/vehicle interface will also increase,
for two reasons. First, both the State and Federal Governments
are requiring standardized fill pipes on all vehicles, beginning
with 1978 California models. By 1985, 50 to 70% of all vehicles -
should have standardized fill pipes. Second, there is reason to
believe that nozzle technology is not as well developed as it s
might be and improvement of nozzle design ,tould provide further
efficiency in a few years.
Thus, Tactic P7 may be achieved with little or no change in the
current regulatory program, assuming that secondary recovery
systems are finally installed and standardized automotive fill
pipe requirements are implemented.

PROPOSED PROCESS FOR COORDINATED LAND USE AND
TRANSPORTATION ACTIONS TO IbIPROVE AIR QUALITY
General Description
This process proposes to achiLtVu air quality improvements through
coordinated land use and transporta+-ion actions by local gcnural
purpose governments, the Compreh.pnsi've Plu ::.iny- vxyaiiication (CPO) ,
transit authorities, and the Unified Port District. At the
present time, there exists in the San Diego Region a Regional
Comprehensive Plan (RCP) including Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP) adopted by CPO. There also exists a set of generai plans
which have been adopted by general purpose local governments.
At present there are incompatibilities which exist between these
plans which interfere with the attainment and maintenance of clean
air standards.
This proposed process recognizes the validity of both local general
plans,and the RCP as officially adopted land use and transportation
policy in San Diego. This proposed process envisions modifications
to both general plans and the RCP so as to achieve consistency of
purpose and achieve air quality benefits.
Compatibility among these plans and policies would be brought
about by a cooperative effort between local agencies and C:PO
wherein incompatibilities adversely affecting air quality are
Jointly identified, appropriate changes determined, and then these
changes proposed to local agencies or CPO as appropriate. If,
after considering the proposed changes, actions by CPO and local
agencies do not resolve incompatibilities which interfere.with
achievement or maintenance of clean air standards, then the local
agency plan may nevertheless be effectuated if the local agency
adopts it by at least a majority vote.
This proposed land use and transportation process includes formula-
tion of an air quality impact assessment methodology for analyzing
proposed changes to general plans or changes to the RCP. The Air
Pollution Control District is currently formulating such a method-
ology with the assistance of CPO.
If there is regional ,approval of this land use and transportation
process then a change to State law may be sought if needed.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 24, 1978
TO: Paul Bussey, City Manager
FROM: James C. Hagaman, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Analysis - San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategy (RA S)
On June 1, 1976, Carlsbad adopted a resolution endorsing the Regional Air
Quality Strategy and Air Management Process. CPO is now asking the City to
adopt the modified version of this process and adopt at the same time an
implementing program. The issues are rather complex and difficult to explain
briefly in a report of this nature. Howe�,er, Michael Aulick of CPO -will be
1:. ,sent at the City Council meeting to explain in more detail what is being
requested of the Council at this time.
Briefly, however, I can say that CPO has submitted a model resolution for
our City Council adoption. This model resolution includes four issues, the
first as I stated above is the readoption of the RAQS. These strategies
have been slightly modified and such modifications will be discussed by
Michael Aulick.
The next resolve adopts the RAQS implementation program. There are two
tactics within this implementation program that would affect the City:
Tactic T-2 is for car pools which the City is presently working on with
Caltrans; tactic T-7 is the maximum bicycle system which is consistent with
the City goals. Therefore, the implementation program would have no new
impacts on the City.
The third resolve presents a small problem to the City. In essence, it
appears that CPO is attempting to use a growth forecast system as a growth
management program. They do this by asking the City of Carlsbad to refer to
CPO all general and community plans which are inconsistent with the regional
growth forecast. What they are saying is that, if development is not con-
sistent with what CPO has projected as a forecast, then such development must
be reviewed by CPO. This in effect could make a forecast reality if such
amendments and inconsistencies are denied or modified by CPO.
h,,)wever, this should not have an adverse impact on the City of
Carlsbad since we already send CPO copies of all environmental impact reports
for their review, and we use their replies as background in developing our
recommendations, and we would continue doing this.
Another problem with the wording of this resolve is that it implies that the
City agrees with the regional growth forecast, whereas in fact the City does
not agree with CPO's forecasts. Since this is not true we suggest that
statement 2 be modified as follows:
2. "Referring proposed general and community plans or plan amendments which
are inconsistent with the location and timing of development in the
current Regional Growth Forecasts as adopted by the City Council to the
CPO Board of Directors for review and recommendations regarding con-
sistency with tactic Tl (modified), and the RAQS."
The fourth resolve is for the City to agree to participate in refining RAQS
and preparing the fine air quality attainment and maintenance plan, and
hold appropriate hearings. This has been the policy of the City and is being
followed.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the model resolution be used by the City of Carlsbad
with the modification as suggested to the third resolve as contained in this
report.

This letter is to request that the City of Carlsbad consider acting on the
attached resolution endorsing the ',iopted Regional Air Quality Strategy (Rroq,
the RAQS iMPlemantatzon program, -Id the air quality attainment and maintenance
process. The San Diego 'fir Quality Policy Advisory Co ni.ttee believes it is
important that all cities in tl e %ion formally approve the adopted RAQS and Ge
Vciccss to implement and refine W As you may rem mher, the R'1QS alteinatives
Here presented to your city council in My and June of 1976 for review and
aPProval. At that time the City of Carlsbad approved the RAQS strategy that was
later adopted by the Co,,prehensx',e Planning Organization (CPC) and Air Pollution
Control Board (1PCB) and was accepted by the State Air Resources Board and EPA as
the "first stage" of an air quality attainment amid maintenance plan to meet the
requirements of the Clean Air Act.
The R'%QS inai,letnentation progra:;l, i:Ilich is also attached, contains the actions
i+inch must be taken by cities, the CPO, and the APCD to achieve the pollutant
emission reductions assigned to measures with local responsibility. This docu-
ment has been approved by the Policy Advisory Comniiittee and fon,•arded -o EPA,
Uhich has approved it as air quality mitigation measures for the proposed Encina
and Sal; I ' io sewerage treatment plan expansions. The inplementation program
will probe., v also be considered as a set of air quality mitigation measures for
th'a Stir: Oiego Metropolitan Sewer System expansion. It is imortant that ail
cities adopt this program and participate in the .in;ilemntation of four tactics:
T1 (m:dified) - land use, 1*2 - capools and vanpoals, T3 - communication sub-
stitutes and T7 -bicycles.
Tactic 'Tl (modified) - Coordinated Land Use and 'Transportation Actions - is a
process contained in the Rags, adopted by the CPO and the APCG, and the imple-
Malltation program approved by EP,•1. This air duality maintenance process has been
specifically defined (see attached description) and endorsed by the Policy
Advisory C0.Wittee. Local jurisdictions are also being asked to agree to parti-
cipate, will the Ci o, in the inq)lemcntation of this tactic. The inpleventation
process has been discussed witl: the city manzatacrs and p1moling directors of
almost all jurisdictions.

The Regional Air Quality StratQ y (RAQS) is a joint effort involving tic en-
tire coma ynity; the County of SO', Diego, the cities of San Diego Covii1y and the
Comprehensive Planning Organization,. This attacluent is desiened to provido
a coopers+tivc proces^ wherein each agency- iu the Count), which has a functional
responsibility Wr a part of the clean air prograa will retain authority and
responsibility in that functional area.
Teclucological controls over fixed sources, foa instance, are clearly the res-
pansibility of the APCB and authority in tlu,s area rest:, with the APCB. lard
use and transportation responsibility is jointly hell by the County, the cities,
the Port Authority, aid the CompfQhensive I'lanning Organization. Functional
responsibilities in those area: rest with the respectiNe jurisdictions.
The aveMbOlming majority of RAQS control tactics are tecluiological controls
for which the APCB Is lead ago cy. Once this region has achieved clean c r
standard;., however, it is 1103y that land use Ad transportation tactics will
take on treater in-portance in naaintais 1g the stabdarcds. Decisions to impose
tactics, wh, ;.'per they are technical controls over direct sources of land use and
transportation meusurc., affect each agency in this region.
It is ap;>ropriate thoYofore that an air management proces: is approved which
reco€;ni?ws lead agency responsibility in htckn& with they responsibility and
nuthrity that the agelly hn, in a functional area mad that the rhQS and this
Process be jointly suNittsd to the AU and EPA by the AKB and the U0.
Coordination Process,
Achieving and maintaining clean air standaWn requires land use and transporti-
tioil strategies as 011 as technological Controls over direct pollution sources.
The combined strategies and controls will affect all Stuff Diegans, the busincs-
conrninity and all local govettiuu•ats. Succe„s of the program requires a system
Of public involve)&:°ut and inter -agency coordination, loyard that end, the tol-
lowing management process is desibned to assure monitor inF of progr;un effective-

volvement of intc:reste,l and affected citizens, groups, and local governor nt.
1. The responsibility and authority of existing agencies will be used to
early out the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS); no not agencies
will be cleatc:.
2. The Air Pollution , rnl District (APCD) will be responsible for air
pollution monitoriiV. , -ions inveI]torying; metcorological analysis;
operation of air quality muotls; and investigation, aaplcmentataon,
and enforcement of feeler `>> lean controls.
3. Tli,; cities in San Diego C%mtN', the County of San Diego, the Coml7re-
( hensive Planning Qr;;anizatxoa (0,Q), the Unified Port DJ;trict, and
` other apprcpriatc ai;encIes will include air quality cowsidcraLionM in
all land use and trzinsportation actions subject to the California
linvironmcntal Quality Act of 1970 (y) by addressing consistency
with the RAQS as part of required Iaivirormcntal Impact Reports.
4. The CPO will be responsible for providing liaison among the cities
involved in carryinr out and/ar updating the Regional Aar Quality
Strategy. The CI20 idll be responsible for providing coordination
between the Section 26S eater (Z,ality planning Progrwa and the
Regional Ai^r Quzlity Strategy.
S. The 11clic), Advisory Con nittee (EAC), consisting of the Chairman of
the CPO Board Q Directors, ?Mayor of the City of San Diego, and two
members of the County Board of Supervisors shall continue. The PAC
will monitor the overall program of the RAQS and will submit to the
cities, the County, and the CFO Loard of Directors recommendatioi,s
for program improvement or implc,nentation modifications.
6. The Conanuriity Resource Panel consisting of a broad cross section of
public interests and affected public agencies shall continue to func-

and information. Th, Group will i-eiport at least quarterly to the
Cormnunity Resource Val and Pulky Advisory Committee on the status
of program implementation. The Croup will also pursue resolution of
interg;oternmental, air quality strap ,, administrative problems, and
identify needs for revision of the RAQS and recunmiend alternatives
to effect such revision. 'Ila Group shall, as necessary, hold joint
meetings with the Water Quality 11:.grmii `l inagcment Coviiiittec.
S. Tlie wort, program will be develoiled by implementi.i,; agencies accc.rding
to functional responsibilities e.g,., the AVCD will peiionn a regional
air quality inpact analysis, the CPO wil, provide growth projections
and prnpnre long-range transportation plans and coordinate air
quality improvement efforts of the affectcd ,mural I>arpose governments
and special districts. County and My 8ove:inments will carry out
those actions as needed for which they are le,d agem—y as dU i.ned in
tale PAQS and CE-QA.
The CPO will. appoint one person to act as staff to the Air Quality
Program Coordination Group.

CLARIPICLTION OP 'TACTIC P7,
VAPOR RECQVEM AT 95%
Tactic I'7 call,s for an increosc in the control of vapors in tthr
storage and transfer of gasoline from 90% (present rul(.) fo 95%,
in 1985. As indicated in this description of P7 in the Air
Quality Planning Team Final Report, it i.s quitie possible that
no significant hard'Ware changes would be involved. Processing
units that have been tested by the Air Pollution Control Distj�x.c.s
indicate that a 95% elficlency or greater can be achieved.
The -problems with the systems are reliability and collecL-ion
efficiency at the vehicle.
Reliability is improving as manor technical problems are resolved
Reliability can be maintained w.?.th an active enforcement program,
as planned by the APO-D. Finally, the State's 90-day "hands off"
and 3-year warran;:y re-quiremr.%ts for certifination should further
improve the systems.
Efficiency at the .nozzle/vehicle interface will also increase,
for two reasons. First, loth the Sta'.e and Fed,rul Governments
arp requiring standardized fill pipes on all vehicles, beginning
vita 1978 California models. 13y 1985, 50 to 70, of all vehicles
should have standardizYd fill pipes. Second, there is reason to
believe that nozzle technolc>gy is not as well developed as it
might be and iinprovemenc of nozzle design should provide further
effici Ycy in a few years.
Thus, Tactic P7 may be achieved with little or no change in the
currant regulatory program, assuming that secoi,dlary recovery

This proposed process recognizes th:e validity of both local general

Performance Cxpectations: 50Y reduction by 1980 (1.7 tons).
Potential: The control methods undcr consideration by the Dry Cleaners Iask
Farce are improved clothes handling, tightening of systems to prevent leaks,
improved saivent filters, and carbon absorption or incineration of dryer exhaust,
It will be costly to achieve the 502 reduction. The large cleaners and possibly
the middle sized ones will have to put in activated carbon or incinerators.
Whether the cost is beyond reason is yet to be determined by the Task force.

Tactic P2 - Surface Cleaning
Description: This tactic covers general industrial and com.narciai cold
c eaning processes used by dutumative shops, general mechanical shops,
maintenance shops, the electroal cs manufacturing industry, the fiberglass
industry, medical institutions, etc.
Lead Agency: ARB/APCD
Performance Ex PCtations: The RAQS calls for d 30% reduction„ This would
WSJ FHCtons per day in 1980 and 13.2 tons in 1985.
Potential: This tactic was developed with soar,- uncertainty, and that
uncertainty remains. There may be no alternatives to many of the solvents
used, and control equipment is inappropriate in many cases. i
1mlemitation Proyam and Schedule: The ORGSGI ComaltLee will probably
defer work in, ,.lea untt -;—a—dustrial coatings are completed. Thus a
model regulation may be one to two xe;rs away. APCD may be able to begin
work on this tactic >:er"ore ORGSOI, but this is another Octi c which needs
statcwide regulation 'see discussion in tactics P3 and P4j.
The APCD will hold heaA ngs to adopt regulations within six months after
the ARB adopts guidelines
Status: No ORGSOL or APCD activity at this time.

TACTICS P3, P4 - Architectural and industrial Coatings
Descrintt oy Tactic P3 control solvent content of architectural coatings:
primers and paints for building interiors and exteriors, bridges, and
stripes on streKs and parking lots. Marine applications are included but
action on theca is dzferrpd. Tactic P4 controls solvent content of inoustrial
coatings on cars, furniture, a,pliances, shelving, cabinets, machinery, etc.
Lead Agency: ARB/APCD
Performance Expectations; The RA05 calls for a 301 reduction in solvents
by 1980, EOr by 1185 and 905/ by 1990 ( both tactics) .
Potential: The 3OX and 60z reductions appear achievable but not necessarily
in the time frame proposed. Thee are problem applications in architectural
coatings (for exan,nl,, stains; and paints for bridges and ships). It
appears necessary to defer control of these problem areas a number of years,
viz., beyond 1980. Work on industrial coatings is slow to start (see below).
lde do not know that 901 can be achieved in either category; 70/ or 80% may
be achievable, over a lengthy period of tirre.
Implemanta?ion Progras and Schedule: Controlling paints must be a statewide,
action; fan Uieyo does nCt u thz, levcrage necessary to cause the dvvelop-
mcnt of new coatings technology. To 04 end, the Statu Air Resources Board
has established an Organic Solvent (00,3L) Comnittee, composed of ARD,
San Diego, Bay Area and Southern California personnel. This task force has
about completed work on architectural coatings. An ORGSOL regulation should
be proposed to the ARb in late June. After that there is a 5-6 month local
review and hearing process to be completed before a regulation can be adopted
(the details of this review and hearing pr=ss are set out in the P1 tactic).
Based on information now at hand, adoption of ORGSOL regulations appears as
follows:
ARB APCD
Architectural Coatings June, 1977 December, 1977
Auto Refinishing November, 1977 May, 1978
It must be understood that APCD regulations are entirely dependent on the
ORGSOL Committee and APB action on guideline regulations. Thus San Diego
has no control over when it begins the review and hearing process.
ORGSOL wort, has commenced on a Pua,be►- of industrial coatings. We p,miect
auto refinishing as being the first industrial coating because we are doing
the ORGSOL work. We are ahead of all other such efforts by the Cormnittee.
Other industrial coatings should follow in due course, but it is impossible
to estimate completion tima. It is also too early to predict the date
and degree of control.
Status: See above.

TACTIC P7 - Vapor Recovery
DescriRtion: Increase gasoline vapor recovury from the present 90% to 951/
byYMs.
Lead Agency: ARB/APCD
Performance Ectat i orb: Attachment 3 to the Regi u"al Air Quality Strategy
relies on reliatiiiity improvements and standardized vehicle fill pipe
configuration to give 95% with little or no change in the regulatory program.
P ^ntial: As much as 98z is achievable. The new Ord generation" secondary k
vapor recovery systems have achieved 95% on existing vehicles, and are
extremely reliable. Standardized fill pipes should increase this recovery
in the years to since. However, it is doubtful that this potential can be
realized if balance systems are certified. So far balance systems have failed
ARB certification tests, butthe o,,l industry is still trying. Approximately
.8 tons/day RHC would be the incremental difference between 93Z and 95% vapcz-
recover;y (1.6 toes/day if bulk plants are included). To achieve the 97-98/
reduction a now APCD regulation for 95E.: vapor recovery is needed.
Im lementaticn Program and- Schedule: The ARB vehicle fill pipe regulation
is adopted.
The APCD has yet to achieve 90'1 reduction. With recent rule changes, and
ARB certification of systems in the next fern weeks, gem cdn be achieved in
about, two years. if either the ARB or San Diego APCD does not approve the
balance system, a new round of iitigatior could ensue, result., q in additional
delay. Increasing the requirement from 90to 954 could be duh, at any time,
but probably should be done now. This would not necessarily delay vapor
recovery further, but it could.

Potential: The RAQS Assvrt s in its emissions forecasts that 1975 and later
mpel liclht auty vehicles will be er^eting new vehicle certification sUndards. It
also ansumcs that inspection and waintensoce will not achieve reductions below the
forecyst, but will be necessary to achieve die forecast. It is clear nan that:
1. the assumption. that 1975 and later model light duty vehicles in use will
not be achieving the new vehicle standards;
2. a strong inspection and maintenance program can be very ef`ectiv4 (better
than 7%, perhaps as much as 151); and
3.• the Air Quality Maintenance plan must uae realistic forecasts 11111 this
tactic must be improved to get more than U reduction from lZynr duty
WINS.
4. Seven percent or greater reductions can be achieved for the other OWN
of vehicles, but implementation is many years away. it is probably un-
realistic to expect Mexican vehicles to he included in the program.
Implementation Prova7m and Schedule: The ARR l,as no formal plans for inspection
and ntaintenanre in Sari Uiego. Tile state has plans for only light duty vehicles
only in the South Coast Air Basin, and those plans will not achieve a 7,'
reduction. ARB staff projects that if the South Coast program suffers no more
delays (it is already 3-4 years behind the original legislative schedule), the
State will bring its program to San Diego in the mid 1980s. Congressional changer
in the Clean Air Act should cause a change for the better in tie state program.

The Coamunrity Resource Panel has proposed and the Policy Advisory Committee
has approved a different program, to b; implemented in San Diego only.
It would require a minimum emissions checkout of all vehicles o►rce a year.
It has potential for a 151 emissions reduction, It is not designed for
heavy duty vehicles, motorcycles, oc vehicles bazi outside the county �•
(Mexican vehicles), but could easily be expanded to include trucks and �
motorcycles at a later tire.
The projected schedule is as follows:

At the City Ccuncil's May 14 meeting, the Regional Air Quality
•
Planning team requcited the Council to sport a strategy to
up
improve San Diego regional air quality.
The team prcscnted to the Council three distinct lir quality
cil
strategies and an altcroative combinatiOR strategy.
he Coun
was requested to support, by resolution,
their choice among the
strategies for implementing the RegionalAir Quality Strategies
(RAQS).
Sirategies A and B are essentially the same except that emphasis
i A is based upon gasoline vapor recovery and a WiOnal
ehenjivn plan 'Valuation; and Strategy emPhasives emission
Compr t -
control for vehicles, Calpools, etc.
Strategy C includes strict emission and vapor controls which
include the emphasis 06 strategies A and B as well as retro"
programs for vapor control, public transit and surface coating
paint). This strategy, however, could be exhorbitalith
Council therefore may wish to consider all
expensive ;nd the quire such significant fiscal
altern4tive Which May not ry
commitments but may require public restraint and cooperation.
The RAGS team SugHst" 3 counter option which combines stra-
tegies A and B. 'jhe combination strategy would involve 0 revi"I

The attached report to the City Manager evaluates tactics which
a local agency could enforce eifectively.
Therefore the Staff suggests that the Fourth Alternative
(Combination of Strategy A and B) be recommended by Resolution
as the Regional Air Quality Strategy the city endorses for the
following reasons:
a} , The combinrtion alternative will addz•e,s land -use and "
emission control;

SUBJECT' LOCAL Ii4PLEMERTATION OF THE RE'GIOVAL AIR QUALITY
- STRATFGiES (RAQS) FOR THE SAY DIEGO Alit BASIN
The Air Quality planning Team made a ,presentation on may 4 to
the City Council explaining the Regi on2.1 lair Quality Strage-
gies (RAQS) proposed for the San Diego ;fir Basin. The team
asked that the Council pass a resolution approving "a pro-
posed air quality strategy and management process. It was also
suggested that. the Council examine ways it which local air
quality strategies could be effected.
This memorandum is intended to identify tactics that the
City Council may Nish to support as a part or the region -wide
air -quality iraaprovenept effort. The CiLy does influencv
air quality in its land use decisions, its ope;ational prac-
tices and .in the example it sets for Carlsbad citizens.
By affirming its commitment to clean air, the City can set
the standard for the rest of the County.
The Air Quality Planaii►ag Team suggested that reducing the
nuobrr of vehicle trip: that people make, through a variety
of tactics, can significantly improve air quality.. Strategies
suggested by the team which can be implemented at the local
level include:
--• -Communications and Home Goods Deli very
--Maximum Bicycle System
Regional Comprehensive Plan
1.gimum Carpools and Van Pools with Incentives
The attached Exhibit A is a summary of the relative merits of
these tactics. Exhibit C e}.plains the individual tactic, in
more detail.
As policy matter, there are a number of specific tactics
vhf ch the City Council could adapt to contribute to basin -wide -
air quality improvewent. Oese tactics are described below.
Staff has made A attempt: to evaluate the feasibility or merit
of these tactics, but has simply suggested a full range of
Possible measures available to the City Council. Some of the
measure, may Le political'y unacceptable or difficult to
i
implement. Staffs intent is to generate discussion on the f
role the City plays in basin -:vide air quality improvement. s
Review of City Operations and r lot,
The -City, as an emdloycr and provider of municipal services, can
reitietr its own functions in determining ways to improve air
quAlity< In this way the City and its employees would set
an exawple for Other local businesses and residents. 111se
tttcasures include:
--Require employees to reduce business-rclated travel by: -
(a) Using telephone, radio and mail correspondenre as
an alternate to travel whenever possible;
(b) Cansoliddte field trips into single multipurpose
trips;
(c) Sharing rides to meetings with employees of other
Borth County cities;
(d) Using public transit (bus, train and airplane)
i'lhenevor passible on out-of-town business trips;
�-Encourage employees to walk, bike or ride the bus or
form carpools by:
(a) Subsidizing transit fares for employees;
(b) Giving pay incentives to employees who travel in
carpools, walk, bike or ride the bus;

REG NAL C01PREHUSIVE PL01, INCLUDING THE
REGIONAL TRAUSPORTATION PLK (171 )
This is the Regional Comprehensive PIA (RCP) for the San Diego ;
Region adopted by the Board of Directors of the Comprehensive Planning.
Organization.It includes a transit system which combines a fixed
guideway in more heavily puPO late' portions of the region, express
bus service in moderately populated areas, and local community servick
bus operations. it alwo includes the adopted bikeway element and
the regional carpool program of the Regional Transportation Plan
(Rip). Land use development patterns assumc;d to exist under the RCP �
are more compact than in the Existing Trends assumptions. ,
The jransi t systen adopted i n the R1 P i s propised for implements •-
tion -between 1975 and 1995, and is, a combination of:
r
A.' lF;xc,u guideway trans i i operating on 59 riles of track in the
more heavily traveled areps of San Diego, La t3 3, E1 CaS&
National City and MY, Vista; .
B. Express bus on freeways and arterial roads in the region's
moderately traveled corridors, including many areas of idorth
and SouFh County; and
G. Local community -scale trans i is service expanded throughout 'the
region to serge the neOds of each cOmmunity as well as to pro-
vide feeder access to the fixed guideway transit and to the
express buses.
The Bicycle Element of the RTP contains recommendations for more
extensive bicycle routes and facilities and other improvements.
While much o` the bicycle irnprovemenL program is directed at re-
creational opptrtunities, attention has also been given to use of
bike routes for uncommodating transportation t"ips.
The RiP also contains a carpool matching program and it growth
management program which deals with spatial development of the regiot
In order to implement the RCP, the City would have to revise i Cs

in the RCP.
