U.S. EPA Region 9, San FranciscoU.S. EPA Region 9, San Francisco
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%
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 (2007-2010)
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)
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
