The proposed rule would provide de minimus air quality benefits in downwind areas with extremely high costs – estimated by EPA at $22 billion discounted 2016 dollars for the 2023-2042 period. The agency’s air quality modeling indicates that most areas would receive an ozone reduction of less than 0.1 ppb by 2025.
Since global and local pollutants are often byproducts of the same activities, mitigation policies for global warming emissions have the potential to simultaneously mitigate local airpollution 2. One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. Bermix Studio/Unsplash PM2.5:
Following release of an October 2015 draft and May 2016 final EIR, the County’s Planning Commission recommended denial, but the Board of Supervisors thereafter approved the specific plan, and the immediate rezoning of the 662-acre portion of the West Parcel out of the TPZ, by 4-1 vote.
