Management District in those portions of the Counties of Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino included within the area of
the South Coast Air Basin, as described in Section 60104 of Title 17
of the California Administrative Code, as now or hereafter amended.

permit, the following requirements shall be applicable to the
issuance of a permit by the south coast district for the construction
or operation of any stationary source within the sensitive zone:
(1) When emission offsets are required to mitigate the air quality
impacts of a stationary source, the offsets shall be secured by the
applicant so as to bring about ambient air quality improvements
within the sensitive zone. The applicant shall be required to
demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the south coast district, that
any emissions reductions acquired from stationary sources operating
within the South Coast Air Basin will result in a demonstrable net
ambient air quality improvement within the sensitive zone.
(2) In considering an application for a permit to construct or
operate a stationary source, the south coast district board shall, in
addition to making a finding and determination that the impacts of
the stationary source will be mitigated so as to result in a net
improvement in ambient air quality within the South Coast Air Basin,
also make a finding and determination that the impacts of the
stationary source can be mitigated so as to result in a net
improvement in ambient air quality within the sensitive zone.
(c) The south coast district board shall adopt rules and
regulations to implement this section by January 1, 1991.

south coast district board to the board of supervisors and the state
board.
40412. The south coast district shall be the sole and exclusive
local agency within the South Coast Air Basin with the responsibility
for comprehensive air pollution control, and it shall have the duty
to represent the citizens of the basin in influencing the decisions
of other public and private agencies whose actions might have an
adverse impact on air quality in the basin.
40413. The board of supervisors of a county that is only included

the south coast district to perform air pollution control functions
in that area of the respective county not within the South Coast Air
Basin. The south coast district board may, by resolution, agree to
(1) have that area of the county not included within the South Coast

interpreted as providing or transferring new authority over such land
use to either the south coast district, the Southern California
Association of Governments, or the state board.
