Calendar Synopsis of History:
The AQMD has had a socioeconomic and a modeling working group since the late
1980s. These groups have provided input on the design and development of
the AQMD's air quality and socioeconomic modeling. The STMPR Advisory
Group is currently meeting to discuss the technical issues regarding the
development of the 2007 AQMP.
Advisory Group Mission:
This Group provides review of AQMD modeling, monitoring, and related scientific
issues. It will provide critical review of current air quality and
socioeconomic modeling techniques, as well as recommendations for, and comment
on, proposed new approaches. The group provides a needed linkage between the air
quality modeling community and the socioeconomic modeling community, since many
of the socioeconomic assumptions such as economic and population growth
projection and vehicle miles traveled, play an important role in preparing
future AQMPs.
Relative to air quality modeling and ambient measurements, the Group will play a
pivotal role in providing input to the AQMD on technical approaches to address
possible new ozone and particulate matter standards. The group will also
provide consensus on air quality modeling approaches for future AQMP revisions.
Relative to socioeconomic assessment, the Group is expected to bring insight to
the AQMD regarding the value of various analyses and identification of areas
where expanded analysis would benefit public interest and enhance the rule
development process. The Group will provide a necessary link between the
scientific and technical advancements on the horizon and the potential
socioeconomic influences that can encourage or deter their commercial
development.
Membership:
The number of members will be approximately 20 experts selected for their
expertise in the fields of socioeconomic modeling, air quality modeling, air
quality and meteorological monitoring, and atmospheric science. One of the
members shall be a medical doctor.

Reporting:
The Governing Board’s
