The Port is positioned to be an innovative leader and good neighbor advancing the next level of clean air investments to benefit everyone who lives, works and plays on and around San Diego Bay. As an environmental champion, the Port is developing a Maritime Clean Air Strategy (MCAS) as part of continued effort to identify projects that will improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while continuing the transition to more efficient, modern, and sustainable maritime operations. The MCAS will help the Port determine which efforts are feasible and how they should be prioritized and/or phased in over time. The MCAS is also intended to help clarify the role the Port may play in supporting our tenants and terminal operators with transitioning to zero and near-zero technologies. The MCAS is an informational document that identifies potential options to improve air quality in and around the Working Waterfront. Public participation has been key to the drafting process, which includes your review of the MCAS Discussion Draft. The MCAS Discussion Draft is available for a four-week public review period beginning on March 23, 2021 and ending on April 20, 2021. During this review period Port staff will facilitate a Community Conversation on April 7, 2021 to answer questions and solicit feedback on the MCAS Discussion Draft, and will also present to several community-based organizations, including but not limited to the following: • AB 617 - Portside Community Steering Committee • Barrio Logan Community Planning Group • Environmental Advisory Committee • Maritime Stakeholder Forum • San Diego Port Tenants Association - Environmental Committee In addition to providing general feedback, once you have completed review of the MCAS Discussion Draft, please feel free to suggest an aspirational vision statement to include in the final document. Please email your comments to [email protected] by Tuesday, April 20, 2021. 1 Executive Summary MCAS Discussion Draft March 2021 Executive Summary Background Context The Port’s Maritime Clean Air Strategy (or MCAS), is intended to serve as a guidance document that will assist the Board of Port Commissioners (Board) with identifying, prioritizing, and implementing emission reduction initiatives in a holistic and comprehensive manner. The MCAS supports emission reduction efforts that are being advanced as part of the Portside Environmental Justice Neighborhoods (Portside Community) Assembly Bill 617 Community Emission Reduction Plan (AB 617 CERP) by focusing on emissions that are associated with the maritime and the goods movement industry. As an update to the Port’s 2007 Clean Air Program, the MCAS identifies goals and objectives to reduce emissions associated with the following seven maritime-related sources: cargo handling equipment, commercial harbor craft, heavy duty trucks, the Port’s fleet, shipyards, ocean-going vessels, and freight rail. These goals and objectives are the result of an extensive stakeholder engagement process that involved representatives from public agencies, non-governmental organizations, businesses, industry, and community residents. The MCAS includes a high-level summary of how emission reduction initiatives can be funded and financed, and it identifies goals to help broaden emission reduction funding opportunities and to promote ongoing collaboration with stakeholders on emission reduction initiatives in an open, transparent and deliberative manner. The goals and objectives for all seven emission sources, as well as funding, are summarized below. The two icons provided below help illustrate which objectives align with State regulatory requirements, and which ones go beyond current State regulatory requirements. Aligns with State requirements Goes beyond State requirements Goals and Objectives Cargo Handling Equipment CHE Goal – Attain substantial reductions for CHE related emissions by facilitating upgrades to ZE/NZE equipment alternatives. CHE Objective 1: Reduce emissions from cargo handling equipment by approximately 90% for NOx, 80% DPM, and 50% for CO2e below 2019 levels by 2026. CHE Objective 2: Continue to stay engaged with CARB Rule-making development. 2 Executive Summary MCAS Discussion Draft March 2021 Commercial Harbor Craft CHC Goal – Reduce emissions from Harbor Craft by advancing emerging zero emission technologies through 2031. CHC Objective 1: Support ZE Tugboats and Ferries in advance of State regulations, as opportunities become available. CHC Objective 2: Advance the State’s goals for commercial harbor craft by supporting short-run ferry-operators with implementing ZE ferries for all new short-runs, and by assisting tug-operators with implementing hybrid/electric technologies for all new excursion vessels. Heavy Duty Trucks TRK GOAL 1 – To improve the air quality of the Portside Community, accelerate the phase-out of diesel trucks that call to the Port’s marine terminals, in alignment with the State’s long-term goal to reach 100% ZE Drayage Trucks by 2035. TRK Objective 1A: Develop a short-haul on-road ZE Truck Shuttle Program comprised of a trucking company and/or independent drivers to displace approximately 20,000 diesel vehicle miles traveled (equal to about 12% of community miles) by 2024 and continuing through 2026. TRK Objective 1B: Reduce 10% of the 2016 Maritime Air Emissions Inventory’s truck emissions (DPM and NOx) by 2023 by working with stakeholders to deploy: a) technologies; or b) fuels; or c) by modifying current business practices and operations. TRK Objective 1C: Use the truck registry system to promote that all fixed, short-haul drayage truck routes are ZE by 2031. TRK Objective 1D: Collaborate with community residents, stakeholders, and agencies to identify up to three locations for ZE truck charging with each site capable to serve ten trucks simultaneously by 2023. TRK Objective 1E: Work with SDG&E and community stakeholders to develop sites identified in Objective 1D to provide the best available charging technology, and to ensure that the sites are accessible to both fleet and independent truckers and that there is a fair and reasonable rate structure for the customers by 2026. 3 Executive Summary MCAS Discussion Draft March 2021 TRK GOAL 2 – Support the designated truck route to avoid truck impacts to the local community. TRK Objective 2A: Work with partners to create a connected and flexible freight and transit haul route that provides more efficient freeway access and encourages truck drivers to avoid residential neighborhoods by leveraging technology to support dedicated lanes, signal prioritization and/or geofencing. Port of San Diego Fleet FLT Short Term Goal 1 – Update Port procurement policies to acquire zero emission vehicles and best available alternative fuels or technologies. FLT Objective 1A: Update the Port’s vehicle procurement policy to identify a hierarchy of procurement considerations which targets zero emission vehicles and then best available alternative fuels to ensure the lowest emitting option available. FLT Objective 1B: Create a zero emission vehicle transition plan in FY 2022 for the Port’s fleet of vehicles and equipment which identifies a long-term acquisition schedule for when current vehicles and equipment will be phased-out and new electric vehicles and equipment is anticipated to be procured. FLT Short Term Goal 2 – Procure zero emission vehicles and necessary electric vehicle service equipment for charging beginning in FY 2022. FLT Objective 2A: Procure at least two battery electric medium- to heavy-duty vehicles in FY 2022. FLT Objective 2B: Apply to SDG&E’s Power Your Drive for Fleets Program in calendar year 2021 which aims to install infrastructure to support power needs and electric vehicle charging located at the General Services facility. FLT Long Term Goal 1 – Shift to battery-electric vehicles with a target of all light-duty vehicles becoming electric by 2030 and all medium- to heavy-duty vehicles becoming electric by 2035. FLT Long Term Goal 2 – Transition emergency vehicles to alternative fuels including hybrid, electric, and/or low carbon fuels. FLT Long Term Goal 3 – Convert equipment such as forklifts, small powered generators, and lawn maintenance equipment to zero emissions, hybrid technologies, and/or low carbon fuels, where feasible and commercially available. FLT Long Term Goal 4 – Seek opportunities to advance lower emitting solutions for marine vessels (few options exist for zero emission vessels). 4 Executive Summary MCAS Discussion Draft March 2021 Shipyards The Ports three major shipyards have committed to the following emission
