Additional diesel PM reductions in 18 major CA railyards with five new locomotive measures. While we are pleased to have already reduced diesel emissions at the rail yards, it’s not enough. In response to a Board directive in April 2008, ARB staff developed a plan to further reduce emissions from locomotives and railyards.

Ships, especially ocean-going vessels, are powered by very large diesel engines that generate a tremendous amount of pollution impacting air quality onshore. One finding was that container ships encountered off the Port of Houston, where no clean-fuel use is required, emitted four times as much sulfur dioxide.

Approximately 70% of the reductions needed to meet the ozone standard in the South Coast in 2031 would come from existing or proposed regulatory actions. CARB began publicly evaluating controls for SLCPs with the first AB 32 Scoping Plan in 2008 and has held at least 10 workshops and public hearings to gather input.

Based on model year 2008 NMOG certification data for vehicles sold in California, 22% of new vehicles are certified as LEV, 55% as ULEV, and 22% as SULEV. Light-duty passenger cars and trucks are responsible for a major fraction of ozone- forming emissions: NO x (15% of California emissions), CO (42%), and ROG (21%).

In order to achieve the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards set by US EPA, CARB estimates that the South Coast Air Basin alone (including Los Angeles) will need an 80% reduction in NO x emissions by 2031. CARB said it looked forward to continued cooperation with the federal agencies on this long-term effort.

Reducing emissions of black carbon soot and ground-level ozone would quickly make a considerable dent in the climate change problem and would also contribute to public health and protect crop yields, according to an essay in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs. Besides a danger to breathe, ozone lowers crop yields.
