Ports and Air Quality January 12, 2007 Matt Haber, Deputy Director Air Division U.S. EPA Region 9, San Francisco

Today's Talk What is the Air Quality Problem? Ports impact on Air Quality What's to be done??!!

8-hour Ozone Exceedances

PM 2.5 Exceedances

California Container Ports LA, Long Beach –#1, 2 in US –Together, #5 in World Oakland –#3 in CA, #4 in US

Ports Air Impact Large contributor to basin emissions Most sources not well controlled Massive growth in containers Most other sources controlled 90-99%

Emissions Sources

What's to be Done EPA Role Other Roles (will be covered by other speakers) State Role Ports Role Industry Role

EPA's role National Standards –Diesel rules: fuel/engines Incentive Programs –West Coast Collaborative Grants Info sharing Ports Initiative –Ports Clean Air Leadership Forum –WCC Ports Sector

EPA Role: Trucks Final Rules in 2000 Covers Fuels and Engines Fuel: 15 ppm sulfur (2006) Engines: –PM: 0.01 gm/bhp-hr (2007) –NOx: 0.2 gm/bhp-hr ( )

EPA Role: Non-Road Final Rule 2004 Covers Fuels and Engines Fuel: 15 ppm (2010) Engines –PM: 0.01 gm/bhp-hr (2011) –NOx: 0.3 gm/bhp-hr ( )

EPA Role: Marine and Locomotive Generation behind other standards Fuels: Same as Non-Road –(15 ppm: 2010; 500 ppm: 2007) Engines: ANPRM: 2004 –Proposed standards expected early 2007 –“…modeled after highway/non-road programs…” –“…focus on large PM reductions…” –“…similar (NOx) emissions levels…achievable from highway…may be feasible…” –Likely to include aggressive rebuild standard

EPA Role: Ocean Going Vessels 2003 Rule –Duplicates MARPOL Annex VI req’ts –Very small Reductions SECA Commitment to rulemaking in 2007

EPA Role: NCDC Problem: Diesel Engines are long lived Problem: Greater Efficiencies can be achieved. Solution: West Coast Collaborative Solution: NCDC Solution: Smartway

EPA Role: Ports Initiative WCC Ports Workgroup Regional Administrator’s Ports Leadership Forum 9/06 Sponsor of LA-Shanghai Pacific Rim Ports Air Quality Collaborative 12/06 Sponsor of Clean Ships: Advanced Technology for Clean Air 2/07

State/Local Role Ozone plan due Summer '07 –PM-2.5 plan due Spring '08 Major Goods Movement Section –Regulatory measures –Incentive Measures

Ports Role LA/Long Beach –Ports Clean Air Plan Oakland –Vision 2000 Clean Air Program
