South Coast Air Quality Management District Community Workshop

Warehouses are a key destination for heavy-duty trucks and have other sources of emissions like cargo handling equipment, all of which contribute to local pollution, including toxic emissions, to the communities that live near them. Emissions from sources associated with warehouses account for almost as much NOx emissions as all the refineries, power plants and other stationary sources in the South Coast air basin combined. The recently adopted warehouse indirect source rule, to reduce emissions for warehouses greater than 100,000 sq. ft. is expected to reduce smog-forming emissions by 10-15% from warehouse-related sources.

South Coast AQMD will hold one in-person and one virtual community workshops to discuss upcoming proposed indirect source rules covering new and existing rail yards, and marine ports. The primary focus of the meetings will be on the proposed rule for new rail yards – Rule 2306. 

Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., April 11

Venue: Wilmington Senior Citizen Center, 1371 Eubank  Ave. Wilmington

Time: 6 to 8 p.m., April 12
