Public
Hearing to Consider the Adoption of a Particulate Matter Emissions
Measurement Allowance For California's Heavy-Duty Diesel In-Use
Compliance Regulation |
|
The Board will consider the adoption of a particulate matter (PM) emissions measurement allowance for California's Heavy-Duty Diesel In-Use Compliance Regulation, adopted in September 2006. The regulation requires testing using portable emissions measurement systems during over-the-road vehicle operation. Emission measurement allowances are needed to account for variability associated with field testing. The Board adopted gaseous measurement allowances in December 2007 following the completion of a gaseous research study. The PM research study was completed in 2010 and the Air Resources Board, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the Engine Manufacturers Association have agreed on a PM measurement allowance value. | ||

The Board will consider a proposal that Lassen, Modoc, and Siskiyou counties be designated as attainment for ozone, based on monitored air quality for 2007-2009. State law requires an annual update to area designations for State ambient air quality standards. | ||

11-4-5 | Public Hearing to Consider Amendments to the Regulations For Fuel Sulfur and Other Operational Requirements For Ocean-Going Vessels Within California Waters and 24 Nautical Miles of the California Baseline | |
Staff will propose amendments to the Ocean-Going Vessel Clean Fuel Regulation for the Board's consideration. The primary purpose of the amendments is to adjust the offshore regulatory boundary in Southern California to lessen the potential for vessels to interfere with operations at the United States Navy's Point Mugu Sea Range and to re-establish the anticipated emission reductions from the regulation. In addition, amendments will be proposed to help facilitate a successful transition to very low sulfur fuels by aligning implementation dates more closely with recently approved federal requirements. Other minor amendments are also proposed. | ||
