The country's first regional air pollution control agency.
关于我们
The California Legislature created the Air District in 1955 as the first regional air pollution control agency in the country, recognizing that air emissions overflow political boundaries. The nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area form a regional air basin, sharing common geographical features and weather patterns, and therefore similar air pollution burdens, which cannot be addressed by counties acting on their own. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is the public agency entrusted with regulating stationary sources of air pollution in the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, southwestern Solano, and southern Sonoma counties. Vision A healthy breathing environment for every Bay Area resident. Mission To protect and improve public health, air quality, and the global climate. Core Values Excellence - Air District programs and policies are founded on science, developed with technical expertise, and executed with quality. Leadership - The Air District will be at the forefront of air quality improvement and will pioneer new strategies to achieve healthy air and protect the climate. Collaboration - Involving, listening, and engaging all stakeholders, including partner agencies, to create broad acceptance for healthy air solutions. Dedication - Committed staff that live and believe the Air District’s mission. Equity - All Bay Area residents have the right to breathe clean air.

This past Tuesday, I was honored to represent the Bay Area Air Quality Management District Engineering Division at the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) Engineering and Toxics Symposium, hosted by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IX at their offices in San Francisco, CA. I presented on my experiences working as the Air District permit engineer for the Berkeley Landfill. My presentation highlighted key takeaways from my testimony to the Air District Hearing Board earlier this year, summarized the Order for Abatement that the Hearing Board imposed, provided an update on the work that has been performed to date as a result of the Order for Abatement, and shared lessons learned for future Air District hearings. ? Thank you to CAPCOA for inviting me to this incredibly informative event, and to US EPA for hosting!

The Air District and California Air Resources Board have imposed an unprecedented $82 million fine on #Valero Refining Co. for unreported emissions at its #Benicia refinery. This marks the highest penalty in the Air District’s history, sending a strong message about accountability and environmental protection: https://bit.ly/3NNKbL3 ? Over $64 million will be returned to the local community to finance clean air projects in areas surrounding the refinery. The remainder will be used to fund beneficial clean air projects in overburdened communities throughout the Bay Area and to offset the costs of investigating and prosecuting the case. In total, nearly $80 million of this historic penalty will be returned to #BayArea communities. ?Projects funded by the penalty will be selected with input from community members, leaders and advocates, fostering local empowerment and targeted environmental justice efforts. ?Beyond financial penalties, Valero must reconfigure its hydrogen systems to prevent future emissions, implement robust staff training on Air District regulations, and adopt new monitoring protocols to prevent recurrence of these violations.?
