PM-1
Concepts to Minimize the Community Health Impacts from Large Freight Facilities
Long Beach – February 13, 2018Sacramento – February 14, 2018
Fresno – February 15, 2018
Meeting Format
PM-2
• Brief overview of context and evaluation of approaches to reduce emissions from freight facilities
• Description of hybrid approach
• Interactive discussion on potential CARB freight-related actions
Board direction on freight (March 2017)• Resolutions directed that
“…within 12 months, staff shall return to the Board with concepts for an Indirect Source [Review] Rule to control pollution from large freight facilities including ports, rail yards, warehouses and distribution centers, as well as any identified alternatives capable of achieving similar levels of emission reductions…”
• Develop proposals to further reduce pollution from ships and cargo equipment
• Coordinate with South Coast District on related efforts PM-3
SIP commitments for new freight measuresPort Rail

Public Outreach and Community Engagement
Community meeting co‐hosts shown after city
Some considerations• Sector v. facility based approach• Effectiveness in reducing emissions and health risk,
especially in communities with high cumulative exposure burdens for toxic and criteria pollutants
• Opportunities to increase efficiency• Implementation feasibility for equipment operators
and facilities• Minimizing cost and impacts to industry
• Ease of compliance and enforcement• Timing and certainty of implementation
PM-6
Sector and facility-based approaches

Sector-Based Approaches
CARB regulations
Enforceable agreements
National/ international
standardsIncentives
Facility-Based Approaches
Project design &mitigation measures
CARB & district
regulationsIncentivesEnforceable
agreements
CARB staff’s current thinking…• Focus freight resources on amending CARB rules using a
hybrid approach affecting both equipment and facilities-Require equipment to transition to zero emission
operations, supplemented with near-zero emission technology
-Establish facility requirements for fueling/charging infrastructure and compliant equipment
-Prioritize rulemaking based on contribution to health risk and seek fastest transition in most impacted communities
• Target incentives to equipment capable of zero emissions or zero emission operation in sensitive areas, plus supporting infrastructure
PM-8
Hybrid approach: using TRU rule to transition to zero emission (ZE) as example
What: EQUIPMENT to meet emissions standards Who: equipment operators How: mobile source authority
What: FACILITIES to install charging/fueling infrastructure & ensure compliant equipment Who: facility operators How: toxics authority
Amendments to TRU regulation

TRUs:ZE operation

Outcomes
For each potential regulatory action:• By law and practice, regulatory development includes
a) Operations and activityb) Emissions and health impactsc) Options to reduce emissions (technology, practices)d) Costs and savings, including incentive needse) Potential environmental and economic impactsf) Environmental justice considerations
PM-10
Drayage Trucks at Seaports and Rail Yards
Drayage Trucks• Participation in the San Pedro Bay Ports’ determination
of drayage truck rates to incentivize zero- and near-zero emission truck trips
• Drayage truck regulation for transition to zero-emission operation
Q&A Discussion
PM-11
Cargo Handling Equipment at Seaports and Rail Yards and Commercial Harbor Craft at Seaports
Cargo Handling Equipment• Cargo handling equipment regulation amendments for
transition to zero-emission operation
Commercial Harbor Craft• Commercial harbor craft regulation amendments for
transition to cleaner combustion
Q&A Discussion
PM-12
Rail Yards, Rail Stations, Rail Sidings, Seaports, Warehouses, and other Freight Hubs
Rail Yards• Evaluation and potential development of regulation to
reduce idling emissions from all rail yard sources and emissions from other stationary locomotive operations
• Evaluation and potential development of regulation to reduce emissions from locomotives not pre-empted under the Clean Air Act
Q&A Discussion
PM-13
Actions for All Freight Facility Types
PM-14
Freight Handbook• Develop a freight handbook document that identifies
best practices guidance for siting, design, construction, and operation of freight facilities-Module 1 (warehouses and distributions centers)-Module 2+ (seaports, rail yards, and other freight hubs)
Freight Hub Enforcement Team• Expand enforcement at warehouses and distribution
centers and enhance enforcement through agreements with air districts and local entities
Q&A Discussion
Next Steps
PM-15
• Comments on advance materials due February 28, 2018• Release revised description of potential additional CARB
freight-related actions-Comments for Board consideration due
March 20, 2018• Provide report back to Board on March 22
-Analysis of concepts-Potential additional actions and schedule
• Receive public input and Board feedback on actions and sequencing
