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

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
