Continue Development of CAPCOA’s GHG Exchange

Launch of CAPCOA Video

Encouraged the state to use cap and trade funds for additional truck incentives and wood burning devices change out programs

Provided technical and policy assessments to CalEPA on CalEnviroScreen

2014/2015 Major Initiativescontinued

• Upcoming Deadlines - Small Fleets:

o 1st Truck 1/1/14 - retrofit or Good faith extensions (most ending 2014/15)

o 2nd Truck 1/1/17 – retrofit

o 3rd Truck 1/1/18 – retrofit

• >26,000 lbs. deadlines start 1/1/15 – replace MY1995 & older

• Flexibility:

o Registrations: low use Agri. and Construction trucks

o Economic Hardship – up to 3 trucks

o NOx exempt area

• Available funding – Carl Moyer VIP for Small Fleets and Goods Movement Bond

Coordination of Statewide Truck and Bus Rule

Track and Comment on Proposed OEHHA Risk Assessment Guideline Update

Significant changes statewide

Overall risks increase approximately 2 to 3 times

Communication with the public will be critical

Impacts permitting, AB2588, HRA’s, and risk management thresholds

• 2013 - AB 8 – Renews Moyer/AB923 to 1/1/2014

• 2014 - Near term changes made through CAPCOA/ARB Tactical Group

• 2015 - Long term legislative changes now need to be considered:

o GHG

o Leveraging

o Additional Project Categories

o Cost Effectiveness

Coordinate Comments on Future Changes of the Carl Moyer Program

Coordinate Comments on AB 32 Scoping Plan

Hosted Regional Workshop to Facilitate Local Input

Coordinate with State Agencies (ARB, OPR)

Work with CAPCOA to write Update Section on Local Governments

Conduct Workshops on Personal Monitoring

Set for November 19, 2014 in Oakland and November 21, 2014 in Diamond Bar

Objective discussion of the latest technologies for sensors

Monitoring objectives

Bay Area Energy Projects

• Report on-going annual emissions inventories of all regulated air pollutants based on upgraded methods, including emissions from cargo carriers

• Establish Petroleum Refinery Emissions Profile (PREP), and require that on-going inventories include comparisons with PREP

• Report on-going crude oil quality characteristics with annual emissions inventories (e.g. sulfur, nitrogen content, API gravity, Total Acid Number)

• Update refinery-wide Health Risk Assessments (HRA) with enhanced emissions inventories and revised OEHHA HRA guidelines

• Enhance fence line systems and establish community air quality monitoring systems

• Require facilities to offset increases below baseline
