                  EPA: San Joaquin Valley Air Rules Need Review
                  Area Doesn't Meet Ozone Air Quality Standards, Agency Says
                  POSTED: 9:30 am PST January 9, 2009
                  UPDATED: 12:11 pm PST January 9, 2009

                  SAN FRANCISCO -- The federal government is asking the San 
                  Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to review its 
                  air quality rules.
                  The San Joaquin Valley does not meet federal health-based air 
                  quality standards for ozone, the U.S. Environmental Protection 
                  Agency said Friday
                  The agency has since issued a "finding of failure to submit" 
                  to the state of California for not meeting a federal Clean Air 
                  Act requirement for the area.
                  "While the valley's air pollution control district already has 
                  in place a broad set of rules, the Clean Air Act requires 
                  areas to review and update their rules to assure they continue 
                  to provide the most stringent level of control that is 
                  reasonably available," the EPA said in a news release. "The 
                  San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District was required 
                  to undertake this review as a result of its 2004 voluntary 
                  reclassification to 'extreme' for the 1-hour ozone standard."
                  The district said it has started working on the revised plan 
                  and expects it to be submitted to the EPA by this summer.
                  Stockton, Fresno, Turlock, Merced, Modesto and Bakersfield are 
                  all cities within the San Joaquin Valley.
