§ 41708 Local Cutback Asphalt Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Local areas can make their own rules to control bad air from a type of road paving material called cutback asphalt.
  • •They can think about how much the material pollutes the air, how much the rules will cost, and if the rules are easy to follow.
  • •The state cannot change or cancel the local rules about cutback asphalt.

Example

A city notices that when roads are paved with cutback asphalt, the air smells bad and people have trouble breathing.

§ 41708 Local Cutback Asphalt Rules

Any district may adopt a rule or regulation for the control of volatile organic compound emissions from cutback asphalt paving material based on local considerations, including, but not limited to, the degree of air pollution resulting from such paving material, the economic impact of the rule and regulation, and the feasibility of implementing the rule and regulation. The state board shall not override or otherwise amend any action taken by a district relating to the use of cutback asphalts. (Added by Stats. 1979, Ch. 967.)
