This is directed toward residents of the San Joaquin Valley (the Valley), although it also applies to other California residents when their local air pollution control districts have similar meetings open to the public.

Next month, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (the District) will be holding a virtual Permit Stakeholders Meeting on July 22nd at 1:30 PM.
Now many people think such meetings only apply to businesses that require permits or are directly impacted by rules and regulations or consultants that work for those companies, however, residents of the Valley are considered to be permit stakeholders as well - their health, jobs, and environment are impacted by what the District does or does not do too!
So, if you have an air pollution concern that you don't think is being handled properly, or, if you simply want to learn more about what the District is doing and plans to do, then you need to register for this virtual meeting. It's free and open to the public.
The agenda for the meeting has yet to be made, but, if you have any topics that you would like the District to consider, then please send an email to Marissa Mak of the District at marissa.mak@valleyair.org.
By doing so, you will get the final agenda emailed to you along with a Zoom link a week prior to the meeting if you'd like to attend.
For further information, you may contact Ms. Mak at 661.392.5605 or check out the District's website at www.valleyair.org.
