arbcombo -- Community Meeting to Discuss BNSF Railway's Initial Draft of the San Diego Railyard Diesel PM Mitigation Plan

Posted: 09 Mar 2009 15:57:56
In May, 2008, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff presented to the
public the draft railyard health risk assessment (HRA) for the
BNSF Railway’s San Diego 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 June 9, 2008.

Consistent with the Agreement, BNSF 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 BNSF’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.

BNSF and ARB staff would now like to meet with community members
and air district staff to discuss BNSF’s initial draft 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.

The date, time, and location are listed below:

March 24, 2009 (Tuesday)
6:30 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.
