The South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) staff will be hosting a series of
New Source Review (NSR) Stakeholders Meetings to discuss the availability
and price of offsets that are needed for permitting new and modified
stationary sources under the SCAQMD’s NSR program. The purpose of the NSR
Stakeholders Meetings is for the SCAQMD staff to work with businesses,
environmental groups, community representatives, and agencies to develop
near- and long-term solutions to address the availability of NSR offsets, as
well as other NSR implementation issues. These issues surrounding
implementation of NSR, including recent litigation, need to be resolved to
ensure businesses in our basin can modernize and to ensure that NSR-related
issues do not further impact our local economy. The SCAQMD staff is forming
the Stakeholder Working Group and is seeking interested partners to work
with SCAQMD staff and other interested parties to develop solutions.
The first NSR
Stakeholders Meeting will be held on January 21, 2009, from 1:00
PM to 3:00 PM at the SCAQMD Headquarters, in the auditorium.
SCAQMD Headquarters are located at 21865 Copley Drive in Diamond Bar,
California. This will be the first in a series of NSR Stakeholder Meetings.
