Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765-4182 <br />(909) 396-2000 · www.aqmd.gov <br /> <br />October 14, 2003 <br /> <br />Dear Sir/Madam: <br /> <br /> OCT 1 7 ZO03 <br />OFFICE OF THE O~T"( OLEBK <br /> <br /> I am writing to enlist your immediate support for an important matter of public health <br />and vital concern to all residents here in Southern California. <br /> The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) says that the business <br />community has done its fair share ~o clean up our air; and now it's time for others to <br />do theirpart. State and federal regulators have sole authority over cars, trucks, planes, <br />ships, trains and consumer products that are responsible for 80% of the ozone-forming <br />emissions that pollute our air. The AQMD, on the other hand, regulates stationary sources <br />(i.e. businesses) which are responsible for only 20% of those ozone-forming emissions. <br />How can the AQMD meet federal clean air standards by 2010 if the state and federal <br />regulators do not aggressively address the mobile source pollution impacting our region? <br /> <br /> The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold a public hearing on the <br />AQMD's newly adopted Air Quality Management Plan. We need you to attend this <br />meeting to let the state and federal regulators know that they need to step up and do their <br />part to help clean our air. The hearing will be held on October 23, 2003 at AQMD <br />Headquarters, 21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar; it will start at 9:00 mm. <br /> <br /> If you cannot attend the meeting, send your letter of support.
