    Key Takeaways

    • Requires air districts to publish online maps showing locations and details of facilities with air pollution permits.
    • Mandates public disclosure of emission credits, control technologies, and contact information for each permitted facility.
    • Empowers communities to monitor local air pollution sources through enhanced permit transparency.
    • Allows districts to levy fees to cover costs of implementing the online mapping system.

    Summary

    Assembly Member Arambula's air quality transparency measure would require California's air districts to create online maps displaying detailed information about facilities operating under air pollution permits that use emission reduction credits. The interactive maps would show each facility's location, contact details, parent organizations, and specifics about permitted equipment and processes.

    The maps must include comprehensive data about emission reduction credits utilized by each facility, including the types and quantities of emissions allowed. The public would also gain access to information about required pollution control technologies, including Best Available Control Technology and Best Available Retrofit Control Technology measures mandated by individual permits.

    Air districts would fund implementation through existing fee authority rather than state reimbursement. The measure builds upon current air district responsibilities for controlling non-vehicular pollution sources and maintaining emission reduction credit banking systems. By making permit details readily available online, the maps would allow community members to verify facilities' ongoing compliance with permit conditions - a function previously limited by air districts' monitoring resources.
