9:30 a.m.

99-2-1	Public Meeting to Consider the Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program; Incentives for Lower Emission Heavy-Duty Engines (The Carl Moyer Program Guidelines) The Carl Moyer program will provide funds to the Air Pollution Control/Air Quality Management Districts (Districts) to provide incentives to those who undertake emission-reducing projects. These projects include such items as purchasing a new, reduced-emission heavy-duty vehicle; replacing an older engine in mobile equipment with a newer, cleaner engine; and other projects that go beyond current emission requirements. The program funds will provide for the additional cost of undertaking the cleaner alternative

99-2-2	Public Meeting to Consider the Approval of Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District's 1998 Clean Air Plan as a Revision to California's State Implementation Plan (SIP) and as Triennial Plan Update Under the California Clean Air Act The Board will consider the approval of the Santa Barbara County's 1998 Clean Air Plan (CAP). The 1998 CAP is required because Santa Barbara County did not attain the federal one-hour ozone standard by the 1996 attainment date. As a result, U.S. EPA reclassified the entire Santa Barbara County federal nonattainment area from a "moderate" to a "serious" ozone nonattainment area as required by federal law. This change triggered the development of a new attainment plan that will demonstrate attainment by November 1999. The 1998 CAP also acts as the District's triennial progress report and plan revision developed under the California Clean Air Act.
