Comment | The Merced Alliance for Responsible Growth wishes to go on record as strongly opposed to the Air Pollution Control District's recommeded extreme non-attaiment status for the 8-hour EPA ozone standard. At stake is the health and well-being of our citizens. It is irresponsible to contend that for reasons of impracticality and expense we must defer ozone compliance until 2024. Strategies and technologies are available now to greatly reduce ozone in the Valley and reach compliance by a much earlier date. If a plan to defer to 2024 is adopted, we are concerned that the pressure will be off all of us--residents, businesses and legislators--to attack the ozone problem with the resolve that is warranted under these dire circumstances. Would we tolerate a similar situation with regard to the water we drink? Will talented workers and their families be sttracted to high-paying jobs in the Valley if our air remains so compromised? We urge the Air Resources Board to reject the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's 2024 compliance proposal at the CARB meeting on June 14, 2007. Thank you. |
