CEO shall direct Port staff to: Conduct the 2011 Air Emissions Inventory Update throughout 2011, as previously presented to the Commission, to establish the new baseline of air quality in the Puget Sound. Present draft recommendations and associated financial costs to the Commission in public session in December 2011. Present final recommendations and associated schedules and financial costs to the Commission in public session in mid-2012, incorporating the final results of the 2011 Air Emissions Inventory Update. 6 Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Performance Measures 2010 2015 Ocean-Going 0.5% fuels in Meet IMO standards Vessels auxiliary engines while at berth Cargo-Handling Use of ULSD, meet Best available emission Equipment Tier 2 or 3 PM control devices standards Rail Expedite EPA Comply with U.S. EPA 2007 SmartWay standards locomotive rules Trucks 100% trucks must have 80% of trucks must meet 2007 1994 or newer engines U.S. EPA PM emission standards, 100% by 2017 Harbor Vessels Low-sulfur fuels, new Advanced technology pilot technologies projects 7 7 Ocean-Going Vessel 2011 Implementation Success In 2011, 70% of all frequent OGV calls (container and cruise) met or exceeded the 2010 performance measure Cargo: 60% of frequently-calling container vessel calls (367) met goal Cruise: 100% of all frequently-calling cruise vessel calls (195) met goal 8 8 ABC Fuels Provides a per-call incentive for ships to use lower sulfur fuels (0.5% sulfur) in auxiliary engines and boilers 2011 Program Tiered incentive structure 10 participating lines; 375 calls Reduced 261 metric tons of sulfur Program To-Date (2009- Jan 2012) 1023 participating vessel visits 631 MT sulfur emissions reduced 9 9 Cargo-Handling Equipment 2011 Implementation 58% of all CHE at Port of Seattle met the 2010 performance measure 100% of all CHE used ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and/or biodiesel blends In late 2010, 81 diesel multi-stage filters (DMFs) were removed from CHE because the EPA/CARB verification was revoked due to equipment failure 2011 applied for and anticipate receiving Ecology funding for pilot study of idle reduction equipment installation on CHE Exploring opportunities for hybrid rubber tired gantry (RTG) cranes 10 10 Rail and Harbor Vessel Implementation Rail Installed anti-idling equipment on Louis Dreyfus switcher engine, reducing fuel consumption by 50%; switched to ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels BNSF Railway North Seattle International Gateway (SIG) electrification Harbor Vessels Port continues to support PSCAA efforts to reduce emissions from harbor vessels Foss and Crowley voluntary use of low sulfur fuels 11 Trucks Implementation Success 100% of drayage trucks met or exceeded the mandatory 2010 performance measure ScRAPS 280 drayage trucks removed ended January 2011 Drayage Truck Registry www.portseattledtr.org Ready to launch RFID with the MTOs 12 12 Clean Truck Program Request for Information (RFI) Sought information and ideas on alternative ways to upgrade trucks to U.S. EPA particulate matter (PM) emission standards equivalent to a 2007 model year (MY) diesel truck engine Published on April 19th, 2011; responses due on May 20th, 2011 Received one response California Fleet Solutions comprehensive truck grant and lease program 13 13 Puget Sound Maritime Air Emissions 2nd Inventory 2011 Update of 2005 inventory Led by Port of Tacoma; 12 funding partners Activity-based inventory of all maritime emissions in the greater Puget Sound region Data collection: January 1 December 31, 2011 Estimated cost: $230k, not including significant in-kind resources Report complete: Mid-2012 14 14 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay for Drayage SmartWay is a partnership of government, business and consumers to protect the environment, reduce fuel consumption, and improve air quality On June 28, 2011 U.S. EPA announced the addition of drayage operations to the SmartWay program Founding partners U.S. EPA Coalition for Responsible Transportation Environmental Defense Fund Charter shipper partners Best Buy, The Home Depot, Hewlett Packard, JC Penney, Lowe's, Nike, Target, and Walmart Staff working to leverage this to accelerate the Clean Truck Program 15 15 Accelerating Clean Air Goals Draft Recommendations Goal: accelerate clean air program implementation to 2015 standards Ocean-going vessels Cargo-handling equipment Trucks Considerations: Legal Operational Financial 16 16 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Programmatic Option: No change to goals Considerations: Legal: Current lease agreements with MTOs require implementation of Strategy truck goals as currently stated Operational: Administration complexity of 80%/20% split Financial: Allows more time for the trucking industry to finance truck replacements 17 17 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Programmatic Option: Accelerate Long-Term Truck Goal to 2015 Considerations: Legal: Need to amend MTO lease agreements to match with accelerated Strategy goal for trucks Operational: Low administration complexity Financial: Requires investment in MY 2007 or newer trucks sooner 18 18 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Programmatic Option: MY 2007 PM Emission Equivalency Considerations: Legal: Would want agreement from PSCAA regarding whether truck emissions are equivalent to 2007 MY emission. Operational: PSCAA would need to determine if suitable technologies for MY 1994-2006 trucks exist that achieve equivalent PM reductions Financial: Costs of equivalent technologies currently unknown 19 19 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Funding Option: No Port funding Considerations: Operational: Requires private investment, allows Port to invest in other emission reduction programs Truckers: Lack of funding assistance to truckers could cause delay in implementation and challenges for truckers 20 20 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Funding Option: ScRAPS 2.0 Considerations: Operational: Need to determine amount of scrap incentive so that truckers can purchase replacement trucks that meet MY 2007 PM emission standards Truckers: Depending on Port funding commitment, may not be able to address needs of the core fleet 21 21 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Funding Option: Pilot projects Considerations: Operational: Would assist with deployment of new truck technologies, would not address size of core fleet. Possibility that the technology does not work as expected Truckers: Possible inequities on which truckers receive pilot project assistance 22 22 Draft Recommendations Clean Truck Program - Summary Programmatic options: No change to goals Accelerate Long-Term Truck Goal to 2015 MY 2007 PM Emission Equivalency Funding options: No Port funding ScRAPS 2.0 Pilot projects 23 23 Draft Recommendations Ocean-Going Vessels Shorepower installation at P69 or Cargo terminal. Considerations: Operational: If cargo terminal, which terminal and do we have a user? Financial: Greater initial investment. In 2013, align ABC Fuels requirements with 2012 or 2015 ECA standards Consider new incentive program to replace ABC fuels in 2015 (e.g., for fuel efficient vessels) 24 24 Draft Recommendations Cargo-Handling Equipment Hybrid or Electric RTG Hybrid or Electric Yard Trucks Active pursuit of idle reduction retrofits Considerations: Operational: MTO support needed Financial: What achieves greatest emission reduction? 25 25 Stakeholder Communications/Outreach Puget Sound Maritime Air Emissions Inventory open houses Tacoma: April 14th, 2011 Seattle: June 28th, ,2011 2012 Upcoming, as results become available Port of Seattle Clean Air/Truck Programs Outreach Port of Seattle specific outreach around our Clean Truck and Clean Air Program acceleration options Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Industry stakeholder outreach Strategy long-term performance measure implementation plans 26 26 Next Steps Continue to evaluate options to accelerate clean air program, present final recommendations to Commission in mid-2012 Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy update in 2012 2011 Puget Sound Maritime Air Emissions Inventory compete in mid-2012 27 27
Limitations of Translatable Documents
PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
