WHEREAS, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 , et seq. ,)
seeks to develop a cooperative Federal , State, regional and local
government program to prevent and control air pollution in order to
protect and enhance the quality of the nation's air resources so as to
promote the public health and welfare of its population; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 172 (a) (1 ) of the Clean Air Act,
as amended, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) have prepared an
Air Quality Management Plan (.AQMP) for the South Coast Air Basin with the
assistance of the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino
and the City of Los Angeles, the San Bernardino Associated Governments
and the State of California Air Resources Board (ARB); and
WHEREAS, the AQMP was adopted by SCAG on January 25, 1979, by the
SCAQMD on January 26, 1979, and was conditionally approved by the ARB on
May 10, 1979, and was forwarded to the Federal Environmental Protection
Agency on July 25, 1979, in compliance with Section 110 (a) (1) of the
Clean Air Act; and
WHEREAS, the Clean Air Act of 1977 allows for an extension in the
deadlines for attaining national air quality standards from 1982 to 1987 of
all "reasonably available control measures" (RACMSj are implemented before
December 31 , 1982, and in the event these measures are not implemented by this
