(1) The district governing board’s finding pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 40918.5 shall, by operation of law, become part of the district’s attainment plan.
(2) The state board shall, during any subsequent review of the district’s attainment plan pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 41500, determine based on quantifiable and substantial evidence whether or not a no-net-increase permitting program is necessary to comply with mitigation requirements established pursuant to Section 39610 or to achieve and maintain state ambient air quality standards by the earliest practicable date.
