The Feather River Air Quality Management District (“District”) will conduct a public hearing on Monday, June 1, 2026, at 4:00 p.m to consider adoption of the proposed amendments to District Rule 1.1—Definitions.

The public hearing will be held at 541 Washington Avenue, Yuba City, CA.

 The proposed amendments to Rule 1.1 will update the definition for “Exempt Compounds” to match the current United States Environmental Protection Agency’s exempt Volatile Organic Compounds in the Code of Federal Regulations.  The previous amendments that were adopted in 2024 mistakenly omitted some Exempt Compounds. 

The action has been deemed to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as it is an action taken by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment.
