1 AB 617: Community Health Protection Program Bay Area Air Quality Management District Barry Young CAPCOA Engineering & Toxics Symposium October 31, 2018

2 Presentation Topics Community Selection West Oakland Action Plan Richmond Monitoring Plan Expedited BARCT Schedule Other 2

3 Community Selection State requires districts to work with communities to select all areas in the region that have a high cumulative exposure burden and then prioritize areas for community monitoring and/or actions plans over the next 6 years.? 3

4 Spring Workshops 11 Workshops held from Jan 31 through June 20 th Discussed how to select ALL AB 617 Communities Local sources of pollution and impacts on community Criteria for prioritizing communities Incentives for mobile sources of pollution 4

5 All Areas Recommended CARE Areas Areas with large sources Areas with health vulnerability and pollution impacts Areas with low life expectancy 5

6 Spring Workshops Consider communities with: Refineries and other large facilities Woodsmoke Odors Multiple transportation sources History of contamination, violations, or environmental injustice 6

7 Spring Workshops Community Priorities: Marin, due to concerns over woodsmoke West Oakland Richmond Pittsburg-Bay Point area Vallejo East San Francisco 7

8 Criteria to Prioritize Communities for Action Air Quality Health Other Resources Fine particles Toxics Life expectancy Lung disease Heart disease Data Planning Collaboration Capacity 8

9 Community Identification and Prioritization Vallejo Richmond Pittsburg - Bay Point Area Year 1 West Oakland action plan Richmond - monitoring Year 1 Years 2-5 Eastern SF West Oakland East Oakland Tri-Valley San Jose 9

10 West Oakland Action Plan Very high mobile source emissions o Port of Oakland largest single source of diesel particulate matter (DPM) o Roadways contribute significantly to PM 2.5 High health burden High socio-economic vulnerability Concerns about new development at Port of Oakland and Oakland Army Base Goal of zero emissions environment Leverage previous and ongoing collaboration and research 10

11 Building Capacity in West Oakland Relationship building with community, local governments, regional agencies West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project (Co-Lead) Community Action Plan Steering Committee West Oakland Community Stakeholders 11

12 West Oakland Action Plan Track Progress Metrics Enforcement Plan Sources Emissions/ Impact of Sources Strategies Authority Outcomes (final plan) Stationary Mobile Other known Unknown Total emissions Land use/proximity Community input Action Plan Components Regulations Filters (DPFs) Permits Land Use Traffic enforcement Incentives Other BAAQMD CARB Port of Oakland City of Oakland MTC/ACTC (grants, funding capital projects) 12

13 Richmond Monitoring Plan High emissions from stationary and mobile sources: o Refinery, chemical plant, landfills, water treatment facility, metal scrapping, marine terminals, freeways, port High health burden High socio-economic vulnerability Regional monitoring data are not consistent with observed health issues Targeted monitoring may identify issues and their contributing sources Leverage ongoing data analysis and monitoring work 13

14 Richmond Monitoring Plan Significant Issue: Capacity building. Community capacity not as mature or developed as West Oakland. Difficult time engaging local community. With community, develop shared air quality concerns and monitoring objectives. Identify local areas with elevated levels of specific pollutants Better understand what sources contribute to community air quality issues 14

15 AB617 BARCT Schedule Requirements Schedule must be implemented by December 31, 2023 Schedule applies to industrial Cap-and-Trade sources Priority for sources that have not modified emissions limits for longest period of time 15

16 BARCT Schedule Development Focus on non-attainment pollutants Ozone (precursors NOx and Reactive Organic Gases [ROG]) Particulate matter (and SO 2 as a PM component) 19 Industrial Cap-and-Trade facilities in Bay Area 1,899 sources in 50 source categories Screening for small sources Potential emission reductions small Retrofit controls not likely to be cost effective Screening for sources with BARCT already achieved Air District rules and regulations updated since

17 BARCT Schedule Development Reviewed achievable emission limits and potential controls Reviewed current source emissions, controls, performance, and emission limits Estimated potential emission reductions and control costs Identified potentially achievable and cost effective controls and emission limits for rule development 17

18 Prioritization of Projects Local clean air and public health benefits, including toxic emission reduction co-benefits Substantial emission reductions, particularly PM emissions Source categories where BARCT controls have not been recently addressed Cost effectiveness of potential controls 18
