   After 14 years of leading the largest air district in the nation, Air Pollution Control Officer and Executive Director David L. Crow has announced his impending retirement.Crow, 57, plans to leave his position at the head of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District in February.The District expects to begin the recruitment process for his successor in January.
   
   "The most rewarding thing about the past 14 years here has been the positive way in which Valley residents, business and industry have interacted with the District's governing board in addressing air-quality issues," Crow said."The public has supported not only the District's role in improving air quality, but I think we've been a catalyst for a good discussion of quality-of-life issues such as land use and transportation.
   
   "All of that is a tribute to the Governing Board's common-sense, open, democratic approach to listening to all interests in the Valley."
   
   Since Crow assumed leadership of the District, which covers the nation's largest air basin of 25,000 square miles and eight counties, he has overseen the passage of more than 500 rules or rule amendments that have cut stationary source emissions by half and have led the nation in pioneering control standards on previously unregulated emission sources.
   
   For example, the District crafted the landmark Check Before You Burn winter residential wood-burning restriction program, which entered its third season this week and is being eyed by other air districts in the state.Other innovative programs include a system to manage smoke emissions from agricultural burning, Conservation Management Practices for farms and alternate compliance methods for rules that otherwise would be cost-prohibitive.
   
   During Crow's tenure, the District has become active in regional air-quality consortiums, including Valley Clean Air Now and Operation Clean Air.
   
   "No one has articulated the challenge of, and the solution to, our Valley's air-pollution problems better than Dave Crow," said Fresno Mayor Alan Autry, an Operation Clean Air representative.
   ...
   "Dave understands the unique nature of the Valley and its issues, and has executed the board's directives in the spirit we intended," said Kern County Supervisor Barbara Patrick, who also is a member of the governing bodies of the Valley Air District and the California Air Resources Board.
   ...
   "Dave's done a good job and I'm sorry to see him go," said Merced County Supervisor Mike Nelson, also a District Governing Board member.
   ...
   Crow came to the District as a seasoned public servant, after serving as acting city manager for Foster City in the Bay Area; budget director and director of policy development for Fresno County; and working for the Council of Governments in Sacramento.He earned a B.S. in Public Administration at California State University, Fullerton, where he pursued graduate studies.
   
   He accepted the mission to lead the District when the challenge of improving the Valley's air was indeed daunting.
   ...
   "The San Joaquin Valley District has matured into a fully professional, effective and responsive air pollution control district under Dave Crow's tenure.
   ...
   However, representatives of regulated industries unanimously laud Crow's ability to derive consensus from seemingly irreconcilable interests.
   ...
   "Dave brought agriculture to the table because he allowed us to present our side of the discussion.
   ...
   "Despite all the different groups Dave's dealt with, he's remained steadfast in his thought process, which is to clean up the air.
   ...
   Seyed Sadredin, the District's Deputy Air Pollution Control Officer, also noted Crow's ability to cultivate a culture of facilitating cooperation, both within and outside the District.
   
   "Over the years, Dave has demonstrated an exceptional ability in bring out the best in everyone and in marshaling people of diverse interests to work together toward the common good," he said."His tremendous legacy leaves the District well-positioned to take on the unprecedented challenges that lay ahead with great vigor and efficiency."
   
   As for Crow, leaving the District in no way means he's retiring from the ongoing dialogue about how to improve the experience of Valley living.
   
   "I will definitely have a continuing interest in the lives and livelihood of the people in the Valley," he said.
