Petition for review of the EPA's approval of California's State Implementation Plans to comply with National Ambient Air Quality Standards enacted under the federal Clean Air Act, concerning ozone and fine particulate matter in the San Joaquin Valley, is granted in part and denied in part where: 1) the EPA violated the Act by approving California's plans, even thought the plans did not include the state-adopted mobile emission standards on which those plans relied to achieve their emission reduction goals; 2) the EPA did not violated the Act by not requiring inclusion of other state mechanisms in its plans; and 3) other control measures by the EPA were enforceable commitments as the Act required.
