Clean Air Plan
Table of Contents | Executive Summary | Air Quality | Voluntary Measures | Appendix | Acknowledgements

The Clean Air Plan is a collection of voluntary measures developed specifically for the Tri-Valley Area.  Through the cooperation of citizens, businesses and governments in applying the measures of the Plan, clean air can be a reality in our communities. 


A Message from Scott Haggerty:

January 2004

Dear Tri-Valley Community Member:

Achieving and maintaining clean air in our region is a priority for all of us.  To help meet this goal, I established a project to develop a Clean Air Plan for the Tri-Valley Area.  The Plan is a collection of voluntary measures that improve air quality in our community.

The measures contained in the plan may be implemented by local agencies, both small and large businesses and organizations, and citizens who work and live in the Tri-Valley.  The plan also provides a description of the air quality in the Valley and the sources and impacts of pollution.  The Tri-Valley's commitment to achieving and maintaining clean air quality will be vitally important as it contends with the impacts of projected population growth.

The Clean Air Plan also serves as a model for use by other communities in the Bay Area.  We will al benefit as more communities throughout the region begin to formally adopt these voluntary measures.

Soon, I will be presenting the final Clean Air Plan to city councils in Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin.  I will request that they adopt the plan and implement the measures in a manner that is most effective for each community.  The Plan will also be distributed to other public agencies in the Tri-Valley.  Additional's copies may be downloaded from my Alameda County web page at www.acgov.org/board/district1/index.htm and click on the "Clean Air Plan" icon.

I encourage you to examine the Clean Air Plan and to consider what measures you, your family or your organization is willing to implement.  Working together, we will be able to maintain air quality that clean and healthy for all of us.


Sincerely, Scott Haggerty

First District Supervisor
Alameda County Board of Supervisors
Chair, Bay Area Air Quality Management District
