However, LTCE positions are not subject to the terms of the Employee Association MOU, and LTCE employees serve on an at-will basis. About You in the Position Are you interested in reducing air pollution and improving health outcomes in the most impacted and overburdened communities in the Bay Area? Are you motivated to develop and implement plans, projects and policies that address air pollution injustices and inequities? The Assembly Bill 617 Air Quality Specialist I/II will work closely with professional and technical staff to perform research and analyses aimed at developing regulations to control air pollutants that contribute to localized air quality impacts in overburdened communities. You will review and draft regulatory language; develop cost effectiveness calculations, analyze emissions inventories to determine baseline emissions and reduction estimates; work closely with the Community Engagement and Planning Section staff to strengthen partnerships with key community stakeholders; and perform related work as assigned. To be successful in this role, you must be a strong team player, have strong communication and analytical skills and be able to work with people of varied backgrounds and perspectives, including low-income communities of color and communities overburdened by air pollution. Assembly Bill 617 Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (C. Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017) was signed into law alongside Assembly Bill 398 which extended California’s cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions. AB 617 addresses environmental justice concerns regarding the extension of the cap-and-trade program by requiring the California Air Resources Board, with input from community groups, air districts and others, to select locations around the state to prepare community-led plans to reduce emissions of toxic air contaminants and criteria pollutants. Communities can also be selected to prepare community-led monitoring plans. The primary requirement for community selection is a demonstrated high cumulative exposure burden to air pollution and associated health disparities. In the Bay Area, and around the state, these communities are often low-income communities of color. In 2017, West Oakland and Richmond were selected as the first communities to participate in the AB 617 program. Since then, East Oakland and Bayview Hunters Point/Southeast San Francisco communities have been added to the program. The Air District works closely with these communities to both develop and implement emission reduction and monitoring plans.
