arbcombo -- Community Meeting to Discuss UP's Initial Draft of the Oakland Railyard Diesel PM Mitigation Plan
Posted: 17 Nov 2008 16:27:21
On March 19, 2008, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff presented to the public the draft railyard health risk assessment (HRA) for the Union Pacific Railroad Oakland 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 April 22, 2008. Consistent with the Agreement, UP then began the process to develop an initial draft railyard mitigation plan for this facility, with ARB staff providing consultation and technical review on the calculations of emissions and feasibility of control measures. This is UP’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. UP and ARB staff would now like to meet with community members and air district staff to discuss UP’s initial draft railyard mitigation plan. This process will allow the public to discuss the control measures in the draft plans, and to identify additional control measures to further reduce the risks identified in the HRAs. The date, time, and location is listed below: December 9, 2008 (Tuesday) 6:30 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. West Oakland Senior Center 1724 Adeline Street Oakland, CA 94607 The public meeting notice is located at the ARB website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/railyard/community/community.htm#mtgs Staff presentations will be posted on the day of the meeting.
