Nevertheless, <br /> the air quality in the basin periodically exceeds federal and state ambient standards for ozone and <br /> particulate matter. <br /> In addition to setting national AAQS, the EPA requires that each state submit a State <br /> Implementation Plan (SIP) that identifies rules and policies to attain compliance with the federal <br /> AAQS. EPA also oversees the implementation of federal programs for permitting major new <br /> stationary sources, controlling toxic air contaminants (TACs),and reducing emissions from mobile <br /> sources. EPA's increasingly stringent regulations on diesel emissions apply to the manufacture and <br /> sale of diesel equipment nationally,including the off-road construction equipment and emergency <br /> generators. <br /> CARB is the primary administrator of the California Clean Air Act and coordinates preparation of <br /> the California SIP. CARB also enforces the state's motor vehicle pollution control program. CARB <br /> 2-7 US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair <br /> Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station Project <br />
