Background Information:
The Tehama County Air Pollution Control District has received Rural Subvention Funds for over 30 years. The Subvention application and supporting budgets are to be returned to California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Rural Subvention Funds are subject to the availability of State Funds. The appropriation for the Subvention Program is the same as last year's amount, $10,111,000 for subvention to local air pollution control districts. This year's per-capita rate of $0.23 is the same as last year's rate. The California Health and Safety Code Section 39806, requires that Districts be engaged in effective programs to reduce air contaminants in order to receive subvention funding. Subvention funding is needed to support a variety of programs that are not supported by fee authority including but not limited to, complaint response, compliance assistance, air monitoring and emissions inventories.
