Dear Mr. Flynn:
Subject: 2012 Annual Report on the AB 2588 Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Program
The Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act of 1987 requires local air pollution
districts to prepare an annual report and to provide it to county boards of supervisors, city
councils, and local health officers (H&SC 44363). The 2012 Annual Report on the AB 2588 Air
Toxics "Hot Spots" Program is available for download at:
http://www.aqmd.v,ov/prdas/AB2588/AB2588.html.
The annual report provides a summary of major program activities during calendar year 2012
and anticipated activities during 2013. Listed below are key activities noted in the report:
• reviewed nine facility health risk assessments (HRAs) and approved seven HRAs;
• notified two facilities to prepare air toxic inventory reports (ATIRs);
• updated and continued development of a mapping tool to display health risks from retail
gas stations and perchloroethylene dry cleaners;
• prioritized over 300 facilities; and
• updated AB 2588 website information.
I encourage you to review the Annual Status Report and provide feedback or direct any questions
to Tom Chico at (909) 396-3149.
