Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
This source of grant funds was first approved by the Board on September 25, 2018; the amount of funding awarded at that time was $18,267. Subsequently, the Board approved the State Air Resources Board (ARB) AB 197 Emissions Inventory Grant by Resolution on 8/6/19, approved State Air Resources Board (ARB) AB 197 Emissions Inventory Grant (G20-EIDG-15) round 4 on June 21, 2022, as well approving Resolution #22-140 (G21-EIDG-15) for the term June 1, 2022 through May 31,2023.
Summary of Request:
In 2016 the state legislature approved Assembly Bill 197 requiring the State ARB to make available to the public, and update annually, the emissions of greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants for each “stationary source” facility that reports to the ARB and local Districts. The MCAQMD has stationary sources within its jurisdiction and must calculate and report emissions of criteria pollutants. AB 197 Emissions Inventory District Grant provides funding to districts to help off-set the cost of updating and reporting facility emissions data to the Air Resources Board.
ARB has allocated approximately $8,583 to MCAQMD for support of MCAQMD’s activities associated with the AB 197 Emissions Inventory Program for the term May 31, 2023 through May 30, 2024. MCAQMD has signed and submitted the Agreement to ARB and ARB has accepted the MCAQMD’s signed Agreement pending Board Resolution.
