	Senator Feinstein Opposes Bond Provision to Prohibit States from Setting Emission Standards of Small Engines
		California is battling one of the country's worst smog problems and must take every possible step to eliminate these dangerous and costly emissions.
		In our most recent discussions with [the Air Resources Board], they support the idea of an independent study, and have proposed moving forward with a study, much the same as what is now underway with catalytic converters being used in marine applications.
		With respect to the California regulation, I will work with fire officials, air resources boards, the industry, and the Senator from Missouri to ensure that the final regulation is safe.

	Testimony on Naturally Occurring Asbestos to the California Air Resources Board
		The California Air Resources Board identified asbestos as a toxic air contaminant in 1986.
		Because ultramafic rock that is more likely to contain naturally occurring asbestos is found in 44 of California’s 58 counties, it is important to make sure that the public is informed about the existence of NOA in their own community and the potential health risks that are associated.
		The Air Resources Board, in coordination with local air pollution control districts should periodically perform on-going ambient air monitoring focused on activities that cause disturbances of the soil or asbestos-containing rock.

	:: Interviews : Clean Air, Open Code: An interview with the IT leads at the California Air Resources Board
		On the face of it, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) is not setting the world on fire with its well-documented adoption of free open source software.
		Second, the culture of collaboration at ARB is being energized by the confluence of the agency's decidedly scientific bent, the use of open source, and involving the regulated communities in the development of regulations.
		These folks are passionate about fighting air pollution, and so they have been highly motivated to stretch their dollars rather than cut back on their delivery of services, despite years of lean budgets since the dot-bomb leveled California tax revenues.

	Addressing Global Warming in California - Clean Air, Murky Precedent - New York Times
		In California, however, most electricity already comes from relatively low-carbon sources — there are no coal-fired plants in the state — so the burden of cutting the state’s greenhouse gases necessarily falls on widely dispersed activities: cars, manufacturing, buildings, appliances.
		That means that the air board will have to issue a huge number of very complicated regulations, which will set the stage for industrial interests and free-market advocates to mount a sustained counterattack on the whole idea of the bill.
		She points out that the greenhouse bill had strong support from the leaders of both parties, and that the air board has a record of making good decisions based on science.

	CALIFORNIA / Air board to vote on car rules / New standards would reduce vehicle emissions
		Scientists say California may be particularly vulnerable to a projected jump in average temperatures of as much as 10 degrees by the end of this century, citing such likely impacts as a reduced Sierra snowpack, rising ocean waters and increased danger of deadly heat waves.
		By then, the Air Resources Board staff estimates that a 34 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions could be achieved on some new vehicles sold in the state.
		Air Resources Board staff analysts insisted the proposed new standards would meet that legislative mandate, and also would be relatively painless for manufacturers and consumers, adding a little more than $1,000 to the average sticker price of a new car or light truck.

	California Air Resources Board ZEVent
		In 1990 the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the agency responsible for improving California's air quality to meet Federal standards, created a set of low-emission-vehicle rules that required vehicles offered for sale in the state to include ever-larger fractions of ever-cleaner vehicles, phasing in from the 1993 to 2003 model-years.
		Also, partial ZEV credits were defined for vehicles with very low but nonzero emissions, with the six largest automakers allowed to meet up to 6% of their 10% requirement through such credits and the medium-size automakers allowed to meet all 10% thus (small automakers are exempt from the ZEV requirement).
		CARB is responding with the kind of public-education effort that a lot of us think the automakers should have been doing all along instead of lobbying against the requirement, and part of this was a ZEVent at Miller Park in Sacramento, CA on 17 August 2000.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > State -- Reducing emissions from cargo, cruise ships part of state plan
		An ambitious new blueprint by the California Air Resources Board for reducing port pollution statewide would cut emissions from cruise and cargo ships visiting San Diego by 88 percent during the next 15 years, as part of an effort to address the health risks posed by rapidly expanding port activities.
		The plan, approved by the air board at a meeting in Long Beach last week, also estimated that premature deaths due to port-related pollution in San Diego County would increase from 150 in 2005 to 200 in 2020 if no action is taken.
		San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts, who is on the Air Resource Board's 11-member governing board, said the agency's plan is a step in the right direction, although it's aimed primarily at curbing pollution from port-related cargo operations in Los Angeles and elsewhere in California.
