Mesa Air Facts!
It’s Not Over Yet
When
the
APCD
Hearing
Board
extended
the
term
of
the
Stipulated
Order
of
Abatement
(SOA),
it
was
in
recognition
that
it’s
not
over
yet.
While
the
results
of
the
emissions
measurements
and
analysis
suggest
the
dust
controls
installed
to
date
will
achieve
the
required
PM10
emissions
reduction,
significant
uncertainty
remains
to
be
resolved.
The
SOA
process,
testing,
modeling
and
monitoring
will
continue
for
four
more
years,
at
least.
The
Hearing
Board
also
asked
for
a
way
for
the
public
to
know
whether
the
actual
measured
PM10
concentrations downwind of the SVRA are acceptable.
For
the
past
two
years
there
has
been
a
visible
reduction
in
the
number
and
severity
of
of
really
bad,
unhealthy
dust
days.
Are
these
the
result
of
more
rain?
Will
this
continue?
Is
this
good enough? Time may tell, but maybe not.
Stay
tunned,
keep
an
eye
on
progress.
The
CCCA
will
continue
to
keep
supporters
informed
of
developments
via
our
email
newsletters.
