ARB released the Proposed Strategy and the Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) for the Proposed Strategy for public review on April 11, 2016. During the workshop, ARB staff will provide a summary of the Proposed Strategy. We welcome and encourage your participation in this effort. The additional workshop will be held on the following date and time: Date: May 3, 2016 Time: 1:30 p.m. Location: San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Southern Region Office 34946 Flyover Court Bakersfield, CA 93308 Directions: http://www.valleyair.org/General_info/Directions_Bakersfield.htm This additional workshop will be webcast for those unable to attend in person. The webcast can be accessed at: http://www.valleyair.org/Workshops/public_workshops_idx.htm. Questions or comments can be submitted during the workshop to webcast@valleyair.org. The public can also attend this workshop by video conference at the air district’s Modesto and Fresno offices: Modesto Office 4800 Enterprise Way Modesto, CA 95356 Fresno Office 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue Fresno, California 93726 Updated Public Meeting Schedule • April 26: First Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Sacramento) • (NEW) May 3: Second Public Workshop on the Proposed Strategy (Bakersfield) • May 19: Board Meeting for Proposed Strategy • Late-Summer/Early-Fall: Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy Background Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than major climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Their relative potency in terms of how they heat the atmosphere can be tens to thousands of times greater than CO2. SLCPs include black carbon, methane, and fluorinated gases, including hydrofluorocarbons. The impacts of SLCPs are especially strong within the near term. Reducing these emissions can have an immediate beneficial impact on climate change. SLCP reductions are important to continuing and maintaining the greenhouse gas reductions called for by AB 32 (Nunez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006) and SB 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014), and to ensuring emissions meet the statewide greenhouse gas emission limit that AB 32 established. The Proposed Strategy is identified in the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan as one of the recommended actions to achieve additional greenhouse gas emission reductions. SB 605 further requires ARB, in coordination with other State agencies and local air districts, to develop a strategy to further reduce SLCP emissions in California. A Draft Strategy was released for public comment on September 30, 2015. After considering comments received, ARB staff released the Proposed Strategy on April 11, 2016, which will be presented to the Board at a public meeting on May 19, 2016. The Board will not vote on the Proposed Strategy at this meeting; a second Board meeting will be scheduled for either late summer or early fall for the Board to consider approving a final SLCP Strategy, along with final environmental documents. Environmental Analysis ARB, as the lead agency for the Proposed Strategy, prepared a Draft Environmental Analysis (EA) in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and ARB’s regulatory program certified by the Secretary of Natural Resources (California Code of Regulation, title 17, sections 60006-60008; California Code of Regulation, title 14, section 15251, subdivision (d)). The resource areas from the CEQA Guidelines Environmental Checklist were used as a framework for a programmatic environmental analysis of the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses resulting from implementation of the proposed measures discussed in the Proposed Strategy. The Draft EA provides an analysis of both the beneficial and adverse impacts and feasible mitigation measures for the reasonably foreseeable compliance responses associated with the proposed measures under each of the 17 environmental resource areas. Collectively, the Draft EA concluded implementation of these actions could result in the following short-term and long-term beneficial and adverse impacts: beneficial long-term impacts in reduced greenhouse gas emissions; less-than-significant impacts to air quality, biological resources, energy demand, geology and soils, greenhouse gases (short-term), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, and recreational services; and potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts to aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, resources related to land use planning, noise, transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems. The potentially significant and unavoidable adverse impacts are primarily related to short-term construction-related activities, which explains why some resource areas are identified above as having both less-than-significant impacts and potentially significant impacts. Please refer to the Draft EA for further details. Public Comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA The Proposed Strategy and its appendices, including the Draft EA (Appendix C), can be obtained from ARB’s short-lived climate pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm. ARB invites comments on the Proposed Strategy and Draft EA during the 45-day public comment period that begins on April 11, 2016, and ends on May 26, 2016. Submittal of comments on both documents should be made to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/lispub/comm/bclist.php.

May 3, 2016 Contact: Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 kcaesar@arb.ca.gov Stanley Young (916) 956-9409 syoung@arb.ca.gov SACRAMENTO – State agency leaders today released the Draft California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, an ambitious document that lays a foundation for modernizing California’s multi-billion dollar freight transportation system. Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Draft Action Plan was drafted by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development with broad stakeholder input. The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Draft Action Plan responds to the Governor’s Executive Order by articulating one shared vision to improve the efficiency of California’s freight system while reducing its pollution, all the while bolstering the competitiveness of California’s goods movement system nationally and internationally. Key components of the Action Plan include: • A long-term 2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system. • Targets for 2030 to guide the State toward meeting its long-term vision: o Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. o Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. o Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. • Identified opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments. • Actions to initiate over the next five years to make progress towards the Draft Action Plan’s vision and target. • Pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near-term. • Additional concepts for further exploration and potential development. "Future investments of public dollars in freight require a smart approach that accounts for both environmental stewardship and the need for new infrastructure to accommodate a growing freight sector,” said CalSTA Secretary, Brian P. Kelly. “While some may see these as competing priorities, this Draft Action Plan suggests we don't have to choose between these important objectives, but can achieve both through more prudent planning and investment. I look forward to perfecting the document with input from our many stakeholders in the days ahead." Achieving the Draft Action Plan’s objectives will require strategic partnerships and well-coordinated investments in new technologies and major infrastructure upgrades. The plan provides an opportunity for leveraging new federal, State, local and private investment for these freight transport system improvements. California’s freight system is the most extensive and interconnected freight system in the United States and is composed of several deep water seaports, cargo airports, border crossings, and a vast warehousing and distribution sector, all connected by a network of over 11,000 miles of railroad track and Interstate and state highways. Each component is critical and the system depends on these interconnected facilities working in concert to move freight in and out of California to the rest of the nation and across the globe. California’s freight-dependent industries account for more than $740 billion in revenue and more than 5 million jobs in 2014. "This is an unprecedented effort to partner with the freight sector to help bolster the competitiveness of California's freight industry," said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. "The freight sector has already invested heavily in modernization and the Action Plan helps advance those efforts while reducing emissions through commercially viable and affordable technologies." While freight transport in California is a major economic engine for the state, emissions from ships, harbor craft, trucks, locomotives, cargo equipment, aircraft and other freight participants account for about half of toxic diesel particulate matter (PM 2.5), 45 percent of the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) that form ozone and fine particulate matter in the atmosphere, and 6 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions in California. Many of these pollutants are emitted in close proximity to communities and pose health risks to nearby residents, highlighting the need for additional steps to protect public health. “The draft we are releasing today represents an unprecedented collaboration among government agencies, in keeping with the importance of the freight sector to our economy and our environment,” said CARB Chair Mary D. Nichols. “The plan commits to include all stakeholders at every step in the process, from refining goals and selecting pilot projects through implementation into the coming decade. Our challenge is to deliver both public health and economic benefits at our ports, on our highways, and in our communities throughout the state.” The Draft Action Plan builds on existing State agency strategies, including the California Freight Mobility Plan, Sustainable Freight Pathways to Zero and Near-Zero Emissions Discussion Document and the Integrated Energy Policy Report. Broad stakeholder input provided over the past several months, including 11 workshops across the state, inform this Draft Action Plan. The Draft Action Plan is available now for stakeholder and public feedback through July 6, 2016.

Background The State SIP Strategy describes the ARB staff’s proposed strategy to attain health based federal air quality standards over the next fifteen years as part of State Implementation Plans (SIPs) due in 2016. Under State law, ARB has the responsibility to develop SIP strategies for cars, trucks and other mobile sources, as well as consumer products. Local air districts are primarily responsible for controlling emissions from stationary sources. The 2016 SIPs consist of a combination of State and local air quality planning documents that must show how California will meet federal air quality standards for both ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Two areas of the State have the most critical air quality challenges – the South Coast and the San Joaquin Valley. Given recent revisions to air quality standards which have established lower, more health protective levels, substantial reductions from both mobile and stationary sources will be necessary to reach attainment. This will require comprehensive actions to transform the technologies and fuels we use, the design of our communities, and the way we move people and freight throughout the State. The actions in the State SIP Strategy establish regulatory requirements for cleaner technologies, require cleaner fuels, and ensure in-use performance. Approximately 80 percent of the reductions needed to meet the ozone standard in 2031 in the South Coast will come from regulatory actions associated with ongoing implementation of the existing control program, combined with new regulatory measures identified in the State SIP Strategy. The remaining 20 percent will come from additional efforts to enhance the deployment of these cleaner technologies through new incentive funding, efficiency improvements in moving people and freight, and support for the use of advanced transportation technologies, such as intelligent transportation systems and autonomous vehicles. Together, these efforts will provide ARB’s commitment to achieve all of the reductions necessary from the mobile sector. In addition, the State SIP Strategy contains a measure to address Reactive Organic Gas (ROG) emissions from consumer products, the largest source of ROG emissions in the State. As part of this measure staff will explore mechanisms to continue to reduce the reactivity of these products and market mechanisms to encourage the development of cleaner products. The proposed measures, in combination with ongoing implementation of the current control program, will reduce mobile source NOx emissions 80 percent from today’s levels in the South Coast by 2031, as well as reduce ROG emissions by 55 percent, and PM2.5 emissions by 25 percent. The SIP Strategy will also provide significant benefits in the San Joaquin Valley. The measures included in the State SIP Strategy will provide the basis for specific legal commitments in SIPs for individual air districts that will first be considered at the regional level. ARB will continue to work with local air districts on development of the 2016 SIPs and solicit stakeholder input on the proposed measures in the State SIP Strategy. This will include workshops and participation in district outreach efforts. ARB will present the State SIP Strategy for Board consideration at the September 2016 Board meeting. ARB will then consider approval of the regional SIPs and individual SIP commitments prior to submitting the plans to U.S. EPA. California is in a drought emergency.

Brown Jr., state agency leaders today released the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, a comprehensive document that serves as a blueprint for transforming the state’s multi-billion dollar freight transport system into one that is environmentally cleaner, more efficient, and more economically competitive than it is today. The revised document is similar to the draft version issued in May 2016, but reflects new input provided by industry, labor, regional and local government, and community and environmental group stakeholders, who submitted more than 85 comments on the draft plan. “We listened to stakeholders, incorporated changes, and we will continue to consult with them as we put the Plan into action” said California Air Resources Board Chair Mary D. Nichols. “This dialogue -- and a commitment to shared responsibility for and ownership of this plan-- is the underpinning for the successful transformation of our freight transport system and the multiple benefits it will bring to our environment, communities and our economy.” Developed in response to Governor Brown’s Executive Order B-32-15, which calls for a single integrated action plan for California, the Action Plan was prepared by the California State Transportation Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency, California Natural Resources Agency, California Air Resources Board, California Department of Transportation, California Energy Commission and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, with broad stakeholder input. "The Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects the hard work done by the partners to address the needs of the freight industry,” said Governor Brown’s senior jobs adviser Mike Rossi. “GO-Biz will continue working with our stakeholders in the business community to see that the Action Plan builds upon ongoing efforts to modernize the freight industry while reducing emissions and keeping it competitive through commercially viable and affordable technologies." The Executive Order directs the state agencies to pursue a shared vision to “improve freight efficiency, transition to zero-emission technologies and increase the competitiveness of California’s freight system.” Benefits include meeting the state’s freight infrastructure, public health, air quality and climate goals. The Action Plan includes a long term-2050 vision and guiding principles for California’s future freight transport system along with these targets for 2030: •Improve freight system efficiency 25 percent by 2030. •Deploy over 100,000 zero-emission vehicles/equipment and maximize near-zero by 2020. •Foster future economic growth within the freight and goods movement industry. The plan also identifies opportunities to leverage State freight transport system investments, pinpoints actions to initiate over the next five years to meet goals, and lists possible pilot projects to achieve concrete progress in the near term. "This Sustainable Freight Action Plan reflects an investment strategy that’s right for California: expand economic development, create jobs and protect our environment. The plan doesn't choose between these objectives, but proposes strategies to achieve them all. I look forward to turning this plan into action,” said California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian P. Kelly. Among the new additions to the final plan are placing more focus on key partnerships and a discussion of toxic hot spots. Changes have also been made throughout the document to clarify and emphasize the collaboration between the responsible agencies and other regional planning efforts, including funding. “The Energy Commission appreciates the collaboration amongst our sister agencies and engaged stakeholders across the state to develop an action plan to address Governor Brown's call to action on sustainable freight,” said Energy Commissioner Janea A. Scott. “We look forward to working with our partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions identified in the Action Plan and to carrying out actions that will help California to meet its clean air standards and climate goals.” Next steps for state agencies will include continued work with federal, state, industry, labor, regional, local and environmental and community-based partners to refine and prioritize the strategies and actions outlined in the Action Plan. The state agencies will also create collaborative stakeholder working groups on competitiveness, system efficiency, workforce developments, and regulatory and permitting process improvements. Regular California Freight Advisory Committee meetings will continue, and by July 2017, the state agencies will establish work plans for chosen pilot projects. Currently, California is the nation’s largest gateway for international trade and domestic commerce, with an interconnected system of ports, railroads, highways and roads that allow freight from around the world to move throughout the state and nation. This system is responsible for one-third of the state’s economic product and jobs, with freight dependent industries accounting for over $740 billion in gross domestic product and over five million jobs in 2014.

At this workshop, staff will be soliciting input on proposals to revise: • The heavy-duty engine NOx standards including a low load certification cycle; • The Not-to-Exceed in-use compliance program; • The useful life and durability requirements in certification; • Not to Exceed (NTE) In-Use Compliance Program; • Warranty period requirement; and • Emission Warranty Information Reporting The workshop is described further in the workshop notice at https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1610/msc1610.pdf and will be held at the following time and location: Date: Thursday, November 3, 2016 Time: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Location:South Coast Air Quality Management District, Auditorium 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 Directions are at http://tinyurl.com/ja4mxgk Background: A key measure described in ARB’s Mobile Source Strategy document is the establishment of national low-NOx emission standards that reflect up to a 90 percent reduction in NOx emissions compared to the current emission standards. This measure is critical for attaining federal health-based air quality standards for ozone in 2023 and 2031 in the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley air basins, as well as fine particulate matter standards in the next decade. A proposal for new low- NOx emission standards, associated revisions to the certification test cycle to account for low load urban driving conditions, and other potential revisions to account for real world emissions, is tentatively scheduled for Board consideration in 2019. In addition to lower NOx standards, other elements are being considered in an effort to improve the in-use performance of heavy-duty vehicles. Specifically, these elements are listed below followed by a more detailed discussion of each: • Amendments to warranty provisions. • Amendments to the NTE supplemental test procedures. • Amendments to the certification durability demonstration and useful life provisions. ARB is considering lengthening the required warranty period for heavy-duty vehicle emission control systems primarily because the warranty period does not reflect the real world longevity of heavy-duty vehicles. Class 8 vehicles frequently operate upwards of a million miles before major overhaul is needed, but they are required to be warranted for only 100,000 miles under ARB and U.S. EPA regulations. Classes 4 through 7 vehicles also have relatively short warranty periods. With longer required warranty periods, manufacturers would need to design more durable emission control systems and components. In addition to lengthening the warranty period, ARB also intends to strengthen and enhance the current Emission Warranty and Information Reporting requirements to more readily enact corrective action on the part of the manufacturer, based upon warranty rates. A proposal to revise both the warranty period and the warranty rates/corrective action requirements for heavy-duty vehicles is scheduled to be heard by the Board in December 2017. The NTE in-use compliance program is currently the primary method used for ensuring in-use compliance with the heavy-duty engine emission standards. The NTE testing requirements were first introduced as part of the 1998 Consent Decrees with U.S. EPA, ARB, and heavy-duty engine manufacturers. Manufacturers have to demonstrate compliance within the NTE control area of the engine map by measuring emissions using Portable Emissions Measurement Systems. However, the NTE control area includes a number of conditions that exclude regions in the engine map associated with low load operation, including the region below 30 percent maximum torque and/or 30 percent maximum power. Engine operations within the NTE control area for fewer than 30 consecutive seconds and engine operations that result in exhaust aftertreatment temperatures below 250 degrees Celsius are also excluded from the NTE analysis. Because of these current limitations, the current in-use compliance program is not adequate for ensuring that emissions are controlled during the majority of in-use operations, including low load conditions. ARB is currently considering modifying the testing protocol in order to effectively assess in-use compliance under essentially all driving conditions. ARB is also considering revising the durability demonstration provisions within the certification requirements for heavy-duty engines. The durability demonstration program requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with emission standards over the useful life of the engine. ARB staff are concerned that the current durability demonstration program does not accurately represent the in-use deterioration of aftertreatment emission control systems. Furthermore, the useful life over which compliance with the durability provisions is demonstrated is significantly lower than the full life or mileage before first rebuild, resulting in excess emissions due to deteriorated engines and components. Therefore, ARB is considering revising the useful life period as well, resulting in the need to revise the durability demonstration process to account for a longer useful life. Revisions to the NTE in-use compliance program, durability demonstration provisions, and the useful life period are all scheduled to be heard by the Board at the same time as the proposal for new low-NOx emission standards (i.e., 2019).

Frank Mitloehner, Ph.D. University of California, Davis Thursday, December 1, 2016 1:30 p.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Dairy silage (the preserved dairy feed through fermentation) has been identified as a significant source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both of which are ozone precursors, and thus may contribute to the extreme ozone nonattainment of the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) where 80% of California's 1300 dairy farms are located. This project monitored VOCs and NOx emissions throughout different phases of silage management at dairies, evaluated the mitigation potential of several silage management practices on VOCs recommended by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), and developed and validated a new VOC model simulating silage emissions from California dairies.

The ZEV Investment Commitment is a component of California’s partial settlement with VW resulting from VW’s use of illegal defeat devices in 2.0 liter (2.0L) diesel cars that were sold into the State from model years 2009 to 2015. During the workshop, staff will discuss: (1) four areas of qualified investments: ZEV infrastructure, public awareness, increasing ZEV access, and green city projects; (2) ARB’s draft guiding principles and recommended priorities for the first ZEV Investment Plan; and (3) the process and timeline associated with development, review, and approval of the first investment plan. After that discussion, members of the public will be invited to provide comments related to the ZEV Investment. These comments will inform ARB’s development of a guidance document communicating California’s priorities and guiding principles for ZEV investments to VW to aid them in drafting their ZEV Investment Plan. The workshop will be held at the following date, time, and location: Date: Friday, December 2, 2016 Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Location: Cal/EPA Headquarters Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 For more information on this workshop, see the detailed workshop notice, available from ARB’s ZEV Investment Commitment Meetings webpage at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/vw_info/vsi/vw-zevinvest/meetings/120216_wkshp.pdf California is in a drought emergency.

Frank Mitloehner, Ph.D. University of California, Davis Thursday, December 1, 2016 1:30 p.m., PST (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Dairy silage (the preserved dairy feed through fermentation) has been identified as a significant source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both of which are ozone precursors, and thus may contribute to the extreme ozone nonattainment of the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) where 80% of California's 1300 dairy farms are located. This project monitored VOCs and NOx emissions throughout different phases of silage management at dairies, evaluated the mitigation potential of several silage management practices on VOCs recommended by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), and developed and validated a new VOC model simulating silage emissions from California dairies.
