Subject: Coordination between AB 32 and ARB's Goods Movement Reducti
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
