Document Description
District Rule 1210 was first adopted in 1996 to establish public notification and risk reduction thresholds and procedures for San Diego County. Rule 1210, which has not been revised since adoption, establishes the cancer risk reduction threshold as 100 in one million, which means that facilities contributing to an increased estimated cancer risk do not need to reduce their risk unless the risk is equal to or greater than 100 in one million (i.e., the likelihood that up to 100 people, out of one million equally exposed people, would contract cancer). The District is proposing to decrease the cancer risk reduction threshold from 100 in one million to 10 in one million.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15308-Protection of the Environment, 15303-Small Structures, 15061 (b)(3)-Certainty
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project consists of revising an air pollution control rule which will decrease the cancer risk reduction threshold from 100 in one million to 10 in one million to establish a more health protective limit. The intent of the regulation is to improve air quality by reducing cancer-causing air pollutants and imposing the revised rule by the District would therefore be categorically exempt under Section 15308, 15303 and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
