Clean
Air Plan (State Implementation Plan) Documents
The 1994 Sacramento
Regional Clean Air Plan ( also called the State Implementation Plan or
SIP) was developed cooperatively with all the districts in the Sacramento
Region (El Dorado APCD, Feather River AQMD, Placer County APCD, Sacramento
Metropolitan AQMD, and Yolo-Solano AQMD). The Clean Air Plan was adopted
in 1994 in compliance with the 1990 Amendments to the Federal Clean Air
Act. At that time, our region could not show that we would meet the federal
one-hour ozone standard by 1999. In exchange for moving the deadline to
2005, the region accepted a designation of “severe nonattainment”
for the federal one-hour ozone standard, with additional emission requirements
on stationary sources. The Clean air Plan can be viewed or downloaded

As a "severe nonattainment"
area , the Sacramento Region is required to submit a rate-of-progress
milestone evaluation per Section 182(g) of the Federal Clean Air Act.
Below are links to the Sacramento Regional 1999 Milestone Report and Technical
Appendix. This report was also developed cooperatively with the above-named
districts in the Sacramento Region. The 1999 Milestone Report includes
a compliance demonstration that the milestone requirement has been met
for the Sacramento nonattainment area.
The 2002 Milestone
Report also includes a compliance demonstration that the 2002 milestone
requirement has been met for the Sacramento nonattainment area. The
Milestone Report was presented to the SMAQMD Board of Directors on
May 22, 2003 and will be submitted to the California Air Resources
Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
