Subject: Methyl Bromide Emissions in SCAQMD
Comment:
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of methyl bromide are vented in the LA port area and in the surrounding neighborhoods when tractor trailers are fumigated. NONE of these have any type of emissions controls and yet California lists fumigation as a source category in its BACT/RACT/LAER clearinghouse database. Since emissions controls of methyl bromide have been demonstrated for these types of fumigations for over 5 years, and independent source tests have confirmed the efficiency of the emissions controls, why is this allowed to continue. A major portion of this initiative is in air monitoring and yet you have the ability to STOP the emissions of a toxic and hazardous air pollutant and offer no reason why this is allowed to continue.
