OPPOSING IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS
UPON SOUTH COAST AIR BASIN
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING
IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS BY ADMINISTRATOR OF
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY UPON THE
SOUTH COAST AIR BASIN
WHEREAS, the City of San Juan Capistrano is located
within the South Coast Air Basin; and,
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Basin stands to lose
federal funds for transportation improvements, sewage treatment
facilities, air quality planning and highway repair and
construction if monetary sanctions are imposed by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; and,
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Basin, already hard hit by
unemployment, stands to lose more jobs if a construction ban on
new or modified major stationary sources is imposed by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; and,
WHEREAS, the imposition of such sanctions would be
counterproductive and could lead to worsened air quality and
water quality; and,
WHEREAS, the imposition of such sanctions is not
warranted because the South Coast Air Quality Management District
and the Southern California Association of Governments have
approved and submitted to the EPA the most comprehensive,
technically sophisticated and stringent air quality management
plan in the nation, a plan which met all Clean Air Act and
Environmental Protection Agency policy requirements and which has
been praised as one of the best in the country; and,
WHEREAS, in implementing this plan, the SCAQMD is
taking every reasonable measure to reduce emissions and thereby
attain air quality standards at the earliest possible date; and,
WHEREAS, each year the SCAQMD has demonstrated progress
in emission reductions and improved air quality and expects to
continue to demonstrate additional progress; and,
WHEREAS, the EPA may propose additional measures not
included in the SCAQMD plan or even an alternative plan to meet
federal clean air standards and has not done so; and,
WHEREAS, in view of the progress made thus far in the
South Coast Air Basin and in view of the commitment to clean air
demonstrated in the plan submitted to the EPA by the SCAQMD, the
imposition of sanctions upon the South Coast Air Basin is
unjustified.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of San
Juan Capistrano opposes the imposition of sanctions by the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency upon the
South Coast Air Basin.

management plan submitted in 1982 by the SCAQMD so that progress -
toward cleaning up the air in the South Coast Air Basin can
continue forthwith.
