Comment:
The Bay Planning Coalition is a regional, non-profit membership organization of maritime industry and related shoreline business, local governments, residential and commercial builders, labor unions, recreational users and professional service firms in San Francisco Bay. The Coalition and its member businesses are working very diligently to meet the emission reduction goals for diesel particulate emissions adopted in the ARB's 2006 Goods Movement Emission Reduction Plan and its recent regulations. Our members are carrying out efforts to measure emission sources in the marine sector, to develop plans and identify actions to reduce emissions. this is being accomplished through our local Maritime Air Quality Improvement Plan at the Port of Oakland and also through the partnership the Coalition has established via a MOA with the BAAQMD to conduct a (regional) Bay Area Seaport Emissions Inventory. What we are concerned about is the need for coordination between the two emission reduction programs--Goods Movement particulates and AB 32 GHG. It appears that there are synergies between the two programs, for example, where co-criteria pollutants can be identified. It appears likely that contributions to GHG reductions from the transportation sector have already been initiated under the Goods Movement Reduction program. We would like to discuss this with you and identify how this can be documented and considered under AB 32. We request that the ARB address the coordination between the two programs in the AB 32 Scoping Plan. Sincerely yours, Ellen Johnck, Executive Director
