39700. The Legislature hereby declares that an effective research
program is an integral part of any broad-based statewide effort to
combat air pollution.
39701. The state board shall coordinate and collect research data
on air pollution, including, but not limited to, all of the
following:
(a) Research relating to specific problems in the following areas:
(1) Motor vehicle emissions control, including alternative
propulsion systems, cleaner burning fuels, and improved motor vehicle
pollution control devices.
(2) Control of nonvehicular emissions.
(3) Control of specific contaminants to meet ambient air quality
standards.
(4) Atmospheric chemistry and physics.
(5) Effects of air pollution on human health and comfort, plants
and animals, and reduction in visibility.
(6) Instrumentation development.
(7) Economic and ecological analysis.
(8) Mathematical model development.
(9) Trends in atmospheric quality throughout the state.
(10) Alternatives to agricultural burning.
(b) The consequences of various alternative solutions to specific
air pollution problems.
(c) The identification of knowledge gaps.
39702. The state board shall report to the Legislature whenever it
deems necessary to provide information on problems relating to air
quality management.
39703. The state board shall administer and coordinate all air
pollution research funded, in whole or in part, with state funds. In
discharging its responsibilities, the state board has all of the
following duties and powers:
(a) Establish applied research objectives.
(b) Receive and review all air pollution research proposals.
(c) Recommend the initiation of specific air pollution research
projects.
(d) Award contracts for air pollution research projects.
(e) Establish the administrative and review procedures necessary
to carry out this section.
(f) Collect, validate, and disseminate educational information
relating to air pollution.
39704. In awarding contracts for the conduct of air pollution
research, the state board shall consider the capability of the
University of California to mount a comprehensive program of research
to seek solutions to air pollution problems and the ability of the
university, through its several campuses, to mobilize a comprehensive
research program for this purpose.
39705. (a) The state board shall appoint a screening committee of
not to exceed 11 persons, the membership of which may be rotated as
determined by the state board.
(b) The committee shall consist of physicians, scientists,
biologists, chemists, engineers, meteorologists, and other persons
who are knowledgeable, technically qualified, and experienced in air
pollution problems for which projects are being reviewed. At least
two members of the committee shall have demonstrated expertise in the
field of climate change. The committee shall review, and give its
advice and recommendations with respect to, all air pollution and
climate change-related research projects funded by the state and
subject to approval by the state board, including both those
conducted by the state board and those conducted under contract with
the state board.
(c) The committee members shall receive one hundred dollars ($100)
per day for each day they attend a meeting of the state board or
meet to perform their duties under this section. In addition to the
compensation, they shall receive their actual and necessary travel
expenses incurred while performing their duties.
39706. The fees deposited in the Air Pollution Control Fund
pursuant to Section 41853.5 are hereby continuously appropriated to
the state board for research and development of a cotton gin trash
incinerator heat exchanger or other device for the disposal of solid
waste which is produced from the ginning of cotton, consistent with
emission standards set by a district board or the state board. The
state board shall consult with the Solid Waste Management Board prior
to awarding a contract for, or conducting, such research and
development. If the state board determines that such a device is
available or that further expenditures for such purposes would not
contribute meaningfully to their development, the fees shall be
utilized in accordance with the provisions of Section 43014.
