Air District Revising CEQA Guidelines

The Bay Area Air
Quality Management District will consider the
adoption of new CEQA Thresholds of Significance at a
hearing on January 6, 2010 at 9:45 AM. The documents
to be considered for approval can be found on
their website.
These revisions will result in environmental impact reports that evaluate greenhouse gas emissions. They will also result in obstacles to projects that would add pollution to over-burdened environmental justice communities. TRANSDEF is generally supportive of the leadership the District is offering in this area.
