8-hour Ozone Exceedances

PM 2.5 Exceedances
5
California Container Ports LA, Long Beach –#1, 2 in US –Together, #5 in World Oakland –#3 in CA, #4 in US
6
Ports Air Impact Large contributor to basin emissions Most sources not well controlled Massive growth in containers Most other sources controlled 90-99%
7
Emissions Sources
8
What's to be Done EPA Role Other Roles (will be covered by other speakers) State Role Ports Role Industry Role
9
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
10
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 (2007-2010)
11
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 (2011-13)
12
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
13
EPA Role: Ocean Going Vessels 2003 Rule –Duplicates MARPOL Annex VI req’ts –Very small Reductions SECA Commitment to rulemaking in 2007
14
EPA Role: NCDC Problem: Diesel Engines are long lived Problem: Greater Efficiencies can be achieved. Solution: West Coast Collaborative Solution: NCDC Solution: Smartway
