A Message from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is a local agency that regulates stationary sources of air pollution such as factories, industrial sites, and gasoline stations.
Whenever they receive a permit application for a new or modified source(s) of toxic air contaminants located within 1,000 feet of a school site, State law requires that they notify the public. To comply with this requirement, they distribute a Public Notice to the parents or guardians of students enrolled at schools located within 1⁄4 mile. Please see the attached flyers in English and Spanish for more information about a local project. There is a 30-Day public comment period starting November 5.
