A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE
IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY UPON THE SOUTH COAST
AIR BASIN.
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cucamonga 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 santions would be
couterproductive and could lead to worsened air quality and water quality; and
WHEREAS, the imposition of such sanctions is not warranted
because of the efforts of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and
the Southern California Association of Governments who submitted a jointly
prepared air quality management plan revision 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga opposes the imposition of sanctions by the Administrator
of the Environmental Protection Agency upon the South Coast Air Basin and
urges the Administrator to approve the air quality management plan revision
submitted in 1982 so that progress toward cleaning up the air in the South
Coast Air Basin can continue forthwith.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 16th day of March 1983.
