Stockton AB 617: Draft CERP Strategies Survey #2

Regulatory & Enforcement Measures

Hello Stockton CSC members,

Please provide your feedback on the draft list of regulatory and enforcement strategies. This is an initial chance for all CSC members to rank the measures and not the only opportunity. You can find the draft list of regulatory and enforcement strategies here.

In the survey, you will have the option to rank each strategy from 1 to 5, where 1 is "can live without, lowest priority" and 5 is "must have in CERP, highest priority."

This is the second of two surveys. The first survey was focused on strategies that were not regulatory or enforcement-based.

Your input is important to us. We encourage all CSC members to complete the survey by Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2020.


1.Enter your first and last name.
(Required.)
2.What is your role on the CSC?
(Required.)
3.C.1 Work with City of Stockton and other community partners to develop strategies for addressing community concerns about impacts of outdoor commercial cooking emisisons, including siting considerations near sensitive receptors and areas of concern (e.g. El Dorado)
4.HD.3 The issue of exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) from vehicle idling has been raised frequently in communities. Concerns include bus idling near schools, truck idling in or around distribution centers or warehouses, and traffic congestion that can contribute to increased PM burden at sensitive receptors.
5.PO.2 Ocean Going Vessel (OGV) Fuels Regulation. This regulation is intended to reduce particulate matter, diesel particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, and sulfur oxide emissions from ocean-going vessels. Such vessels are required to switch to a low sulfur distillate fuel within 24 nautical miles of the California coast.
6.PO.4 Mobile cargo handling equipment is any motorized vehicle used to handle cargo or perform routine maintenance activities at California’s ports and intermodal rail yards. The type of equipment includes yard trucks (hostlers), rubber-tired gantry cranes, container handlers, forklifts, etc. The Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) Regulation was adopted in 2005 to reduce toxic and criteria emissions to protect public health and was fully implemented by the end of 2017. CARB staff is currently assessing the availability and performance of zero-emission technology to further reduce emissions.
7.PO.5 There are several types of harbor craft in California, including fishing vessels, ferries, excursion vessels, tug boats, tow boats, crew and supply boats, barges, dredges, and other vessel types. The Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) Regulation was adopted in 2007 to reduce toxic and criteria emissions to protect public health. It was then amended in 2010 and will be fully implemented by the end of 2022. CARB is currently developing additional amendments to the CHC regulation. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/commercial-harbor-craft
8.RB.3 Enhanced enforcement to reduce illegal burning of residential waste. Target CSC areas of concern
9.RB.4 Enhanced enforcement of residential wood burning fireplace and outdoor wood burning heater curtailments under Rule 4901
10.SS.2 Regulatory actions: evaluation of rules to determine whether additional reductions are possible for sources of NOx and PM2.5. The District will analyze and amend eight District rules to pursue additional reduction opportunities beyond BARCT.
11.SS.3 Regulatory actions: expedited facility risk assessment and risk reduction under District implementation of the Air Toxics Hot Spots Information and Assessment Act (AB 2588). The District has put into effect a plan to expedite the AB 2588 reassessments for facilities located within the AB617 community
12.SS.4 Increasing inspection frequency to twice per year for any permitted stationary source that has had an emissions violation in the last three years
13.SS.5 Enhanced enforcement of District's Regulation VIII requirements at active construction projects and other sources of fugitive dust within the community
14.SS.6 New pilot training program for conducting self-inspections at gas stations
15.CARB.1 The Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection Program (HDVIP) and the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) are CARB's heavy-duty vehicle inspection programs for in-use trucks and buses. HDVIP consists of roadside testing by CARB enforcement personnel for excessive smoke, tampering, and Emission Control Label compliance, whereas the PSIP requires annual opacity self-testing for California fleets with two or more heavy duty vehicles. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/heavy-duty-diesel-inspection-periodic-smoke-inspection-program
16.CARB.2 The Truck and Bus regulation affects individuals, private companies, and Federal agencies that own diesel vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 lbs. that operate in California. The regulation also applies to publicly and privately owned school buses; however, their compliance requirements are different and reporting is not required. The regulation does not apply to state and local government vehicles and public transit buses because they are already subject to other regulations. Vehicles that are exempt from other heavy duty diesel regulations, such as Cargo Handling Equipment, Drayage Truck, and Solid Waste Collection Vehicle regulations, may be subject to the Truck and Bus Regulation (regulation). Drayage and solid waste collection trucks with 2007 to 2009 model year engines must meet the requirements of the regulation by January 1, 2023. https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/documents/fsregsum.pdf
17.CARB.3 Transport Refrigeration Units (TRUs) are refrigeration systems powered by diesel internal combustion engines designed to refrigerate or heat perishable products that are transported in various containers, including semi-trailers, truck vans, shipping containers, and rail cars. Although TRU engines are relatively small, ranging from 9 to 36 horsepower, significant numbers of these engines congregate at distribution centers, truck stops, and other facilities, resulting in the potential for health risks to those that live and work nearby. https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/trus/trus.htm
18.CARB.4 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets (Off-Road Diesel Regulation) to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from in-use (existing) off-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles in California. These vehicles are used in construction, mining, industrial operations and other industries. https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/offroadzone/offroadzone.htm
19.CARB.5 The Consumer Products Regulatory Program is an important part of the overall effort to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic air contaminants (TACs), and greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are emitted from using chemically formulated consumer products. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/consumer-products-program
