arbcombo -- Community Meeting to Discuss UP's Initial Draft of the Commerce Railyard Diesel PM Mitigation Plan
Posted: 30 Sep 2008 12:27:58
On May 23, 2007, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff presented to the public a draft railyard health risk assessment (HRA) for the Union Pacific Commerce Railyard. This HRA was prepared under the 2005 Railroad Agreement between ARB and Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and BNSF Railway (BNSF). ARB staff reviewed public comments and incorporated appropriate changes to finalize the HRA on November 2, 2007. Consistent with the Agreement, Union Pacific then began the process to develop an initial draft of the Commerce railyard mitigation plan, with ARB staff providing consultation and technical review on the calculations of emissions and feasibility of control measures. This is Union Pacific’s initial draft railyard mitigation plan which has not been approved or endorsed by the ARB, but provides a starting point for discussions with community members. Union Pacific and ARB staff would now like to meet with community members and air district staff to discuss Union Pacific’s initial draft of the Commerce railyard mitigation plan. This process will allow the public to discuss the control measures in the draft plan, and to identify additional control measures to further reduce the risks identified in the HRA.
