The Board of Directors of the Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD (Board) will consider the adoption of the South Sacramento-Florin Community Emissions Reduction Program (CERP) plan. The CERP was developed in partnership with the South Sacramento–Florin community as part of the Assembly Bill (AB) 617 Community Air Protection Program and is intended to satisfy the requirements pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 44391.2.
AB 617 was signed into California state law on July 26, 2017. Since its inception, the District has worked in close partnership with the South Sacramento–Florin community, including residents, business representatives, and community organizations, to develop and implement a Community Air Monitoring Program (CAMP). On July 25, 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) formally designated South Sacramento–Florin as a Community Emissions Reduction Program (CERP) community, in addition to its existing CAMP designation. Following this designation, AB 617 establishes a two-year timeframe for development and submittal of a CERP to CARB by July 2026.
Within this timeframe, the District and the South Sacramento–Florin Community Steering Committee developed a CERP that reflects community-identified concerns and priorities. If approved, this plan will be submitted to CARB for action. If approved by both the Board and, subsequently, CARB, this will initiate the implementation period for the CERP.
The proposed CERP plan and its appendices are available at the following link:
Staff had concluded that this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a state law requiring public agencies to evaluate and disclose potential environmental impacts. The action will not cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15308). The CEQA Assessment is included as Appendix E in the proposed CERP plan.
