  • Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
    Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg­ est source of smog­causing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J.

  • Neighborhood Truck Traffic Background the Community of Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach Is Home to the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles (Ports)
    Chapter 5: Actions to Reduce Community Air Pollution Neighborhood Truck Traffic Background The community of Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach is home to the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles (Ports). The Ports serve as a gateway for the world’s markets through the movement of goods. These goods are transported to and from the Ports by ships, trains, and heavy-duty trucks. Trucks are not only used to deliver goods directly to and from the Ports, but also to railyards, warehouses, and retail stores. Trucks travel along freeways (e.g., I-710, I-110, I- 405, and I-91) that pass through the Wilmington, Carson and West Long Beach community. Also, trucks often travel near and through local neighborhoods to reach their destinations thus exposing residents to harmful air pollutants. The amount of freeway and neighborhood truck traffic in the Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach community is likely to increase as a result of the expected increase in goods movement activities in Southern California. These activities are largely driven by the anticipated growth in the volume of goods that are imported and exported through the Ports.1 This growth may lead to additional community air quality impacts resulting from increases in traffic volumes through local neighborhoods and freeway corridors. Community Air Quality Priorities – Idling Trucks, Enhanced Enforcement of Existing Regulations, Air Pollution from High Volume of Trucks and Cleaner Technology Options The Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach CSC identified air pollution from heavy-duty diesel trucks and passenger cars traveling on local neighborhood streets and freeways as an air quality priority.

Th ese included review of City General Plan documents, other planning documents, conversation with project team members, and analysis of City GIS data. Using information from these sources, a variety of existing conditions maps were developed and disseminated to project team members. Th ese maps include the following: General Plan Land Use Th e City’s General Plan land use designations, shown in Figure 2-1, date back to 1989, and are in the process of being updated as part of the Long Beach 2030 Plan process. Th e land use makeup within the Community Livability Plan area ranges from single-family residential neighborhoods to downtown mixed-use environ- ments. Th e downtown area is generally a high-density mixed-use zone, with pockets of industrial land near the port. To the north of downtown, the Plan area is generally characterized by large tracts of single-family residential with schools and open space embedded in the neighborhoods and commercial uses along major corridors. Existing Land Uses Existing land uses within the Community Livability Plan area, shown in Figure 2-2, are predominantly single-family residential in the northern, central and western por- tions of the plan. Within these areas there are also linear tracts of retail and commer- cial uses along major corridors, such as Long Beach Boulevard.

  • Action: Mobile Monitoring to Identify Air Pollution Hotspots and Assess
    Community: Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach Air Quality Priority: Truck Traffic August 2020 Action: Mobile monitoring to identify air pollution hotspots and assess the impact of truck emissions on community exposure Background & Objective The Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach (WCWLB) community is intersected by a multitude of public roads and freeways with high traffic volumes and a high fraction of diesel truck traffic due to the presence of the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles and the associated goods movement. The specific concerns related to truck traffic identified by the community steering committee (CSC) include emissions from idling and moving trucks operated on freeways, major roadways, intersections, local neighborhood streets, and their impact on local residents. The monitoring strategy to study and characterize this air quality priority consists of comprehensive mobile measurements and near-road monitoring for black carbon (BC), particulate matter (PM), ultrafine particles (UFP), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Mobile monitoring is first conducted in areas identified by the CSC with high density of moving and idling trucks within the local neighborhood streets and prioritized based on available truck density information. These measurements will extend to other areas within the WCWLB community to support implementation of emission reduction strategies and track their progress; identify air pollution hotspots; and assess the impact of truck emissions on community exposure. These measurements complement the near-road measurements collected by the South Coast AQMD near the I-710 freeway that provide representative pollutant exposure information for people who live, work, or go to school adjacent to freeways or who spend significant time traveling on some of the busiest roadways in Southern California with a high fraction of diesel truck traffic.
