§ 40412 South Coast Air Control

• •The south coast district is in charge of controlling air pollution in the South Coast Air Basin.
• •They speak for the people in the area when other groups might make the air dirtier.
• •No other local group can do this job—it’s only theirs.

A big company wants to build a factory that might pollute the air.

The south coast district gets to say if the factory can be built or if it needs to change its plans to keep the air clean. They’re the only ones who can make this call for their area.
