| Comment | Re: Public Comments Submission In Opposition To Specific Proposed
Amendments
And Requests To Correct And Include Additional Information
Dear CARB Board Members:
The Coalition For A Safe Environment and et all signatory
organizations submit these joint public comments on the Proposed
Control Measure for Ocean-Going Vessels At Berth Rule Amendments.
We represent a broad base coalition of port community organizations
in California and we object to the significant last minute and
unacceptable changes to the Proposed Control Measure for
Ocean-Going Vessels At Berth Rule. Many of the changes are delays
in implementation or compliance which have significant impacts on
public health, the environment and climate change. Hundreds of
innocent residents and children will die prematurely and
hospitalized with the new delays in implementation and compliance.
This is an act of Environmental Racism.
CARB Staff has continuously failed to include 99% of all EJ
Community recommendations, requests, information omissions, needed
corrections and definitions that have been submitted in writing
during the public comment periods. This is an act of
Environmental Racism.
We request that you not approve the Proposed Control Measure for
Ocean-Going Vessels At Berth Rule as presented by CARB Staff until
the final At Berth Rule includes information corrections,
information omissions, additional assessments information,
recommendations and requests by the organization in these public
comments. CARB Staff ignored 99% of all our concerns, document
errors, information omissions, recommendations and requests.
See attached complete public comments.
Respectfully submitted,
Jesse N Marquez
Executive Director
Coalition For A Safe Environment
