California Code of Regulations › Title 17 - Public Health › Division 3 - Air Resources › Chapter 1 - Air Resources Board › Subchapter 7.5 - Airborne Toxic Control Measures › Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Diesel Particulate Matter from Portable Engines Rated at 50 Horsepower and Greater › Section 93130.1 - Purpose and Intent

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The purpose of this Control Measure is to reduce oxides
						of nitrogen (NOx), reactive organic gases (ROG), particulate matter (PM),
						diesel particulate matter (DPM), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
						ocean-going vessels while docked at berth at California ports. This Control
						Measure also ensures that ocean-going vessels do not create excess visible
						emissions. California's ocean-going vessel operations are largely situated in
						and around at-risk communities that directly benefit from localized reductions
						of NOx and PM. This contributes to meeting community health goals set forth in
						Assembly Bill 617 (Garcia, Stats. 2017, ch. 136). Furthermore, NOx and PM
						emission reductions contribute to meeting California's State Implementation
						Plan obligations for attainment, and further California Air Resources Board's
						(CARB) obligations under sections
						39660 et seq. and 43013 et seq. of
						the Health and Safety Code. Additionally, reductions from shore power have a
						benefit of reducing GHG emissions. This contributes to meeting California's GHG
						emission reduction targets established in the California Global Warming
						Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 of the Health and Safety Code) and Senate
						Bill 32 (Section
						38566
						of the Health and Safety Code).
The intent of this Control Measure is to ensure that
						emissions from ocean-going vessels are reduced using a CARB approved emission
						control strategy to control PM, NOx, and ROG emissions at berth without
						increasing overall GHG emissions from this Control Measure, and that every
						ocean-going vessel meets visible emission standards at berth and at anchor. All
						parties necessary to achieving emission reductions from ocean-going vessels at
						berth have responsibilities and requirements under this Control Measure,
						including, but not limited to, vessel operators, terminal operators, ports, and
						operators of CARB Approved Emission Control Strategy (CAECS).
