Notice of Public Review and Comment Opportunity
Re: Gas Station annual throughput increase at 1100 E. Ocean Avenue in Lompoc
GBFUIN, Inc. has applied to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) for a permit to increase annual gasoline throughput from 2,400,000 gallons to 3,000,000 gallons at a gas station located at 1100 E. Ocean Avenue in Lompoc. The project site is within 1,000 feet of the property boundary of Hapgood Elementary School, located at 324 S. A Street in Lompoc.
As part of the District’s evaluation of this proposed project, we have assessed the potential health risk created by the project’s emissions. Our analysis, which is conservatively health protective, shows that the expected emissions due to the throughput increase at this station will be below any levels that would create a significant air toxic risk to public health and the environment. Before our agency issues this permit, state law requires that we notify you, since you are either the parent/guardian of a student attending the school or are a resident or business located within 1,000 feet of the site. We are providing you an opportunity to review and comment on this proposed permitting action. Further, prior to issuing the final permit, we will submit to the permit’s administrative file our written responses to any comments we receive during the comment period.
A copy of the draft permit document (ATC/PTO 16406) is available for review on the District website.
Please provide any written comments during the public notice period starting on 09/24/2026 and ending on 10/25/2026 at the address below.
