***********************
WHEREAS,pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Clean
Air Act,all of the states and local governmental agencies
are to take necessary measures,including the adoption of
legislation,to assist in the improvement of air quality;and,
WHEREAS,the U.S.Government Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA)is charged with the responsibility of enforcement
of the Clean Air Act;and,
WHEREAS,in the furtherance of its program of improved
air quality,the EPA has ordered the State of California to
adopt a program mandating vehicle inspections to insure reduced
emissions which contaminate the air;and,
WHEREAS,the State Legislature and Administration have as
of this date failed to adopt necessary legislation or enact
other measures to comply with the EPA order;and,
WHEREAS,EPA has advised Governor Edmund G.Brown,Jr.
that if the State Legislature fails to enact a vehicle inspection
program within thirty (30)days,they will issue final orders to
the State and will also terminate all pending and future federal
grant funding programs for wastewater treatment;and,
WHEREAS,the County Sanitation Districts of Orange County
presently have approximately 11.6 million dollars of approved
or tentatively approved grant programs for construction of
improved wastewater treatment projects and facilities;and,
WHEREAS,if the federal grant funding is suspended or
terminated to the State of California by EPA,the District
faces the prospect of losing the 11.6 million dollars in
federal grant funding which would cause the District to forego
the construction of needed facilities to provide improved
wastewater treatment.

Districts Nos.1,2,3,5,6,7 and 11 of Orange County,
California,
DO HEREBY RESOLVE,DETERMINE AND ORDER:
