arbcombo -- Community Meeting to Discuss BNSF's Initial Draft of the Barstow Railyard Diesel PM Mitigation Plan
Posted: 28 Jan 2009 09:45:06
In April, 2008, Air Resources Board (ARB) staff presented to the public the draft railyard health risk assessment (HRA) for the BNSF Railway Barstow Railyard. This HRA was prepared under the 2005 Railroad Agreement between ARB and Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and BNSF Railway (BNSF). ARB staff reviewed public comments and incorporated appropriate changes to finalize the HRA on June 9, 2008. Consistent with the Agreement, BNSF then began the process to develop an initial draft railyard mitigation plan for this facility, with ARB staff providing consultation and technical review on the calculations of emissions and feasibility of control measures. This is BNSF’s initial draft railyard mitigation plan which has not been approved or endorsed by the ARB, but provides a starting point for discussions with community members. BNSF and ARB staff would now like to meet with community members and air district staff to discuss BNSF’s initial draft railyard mitigation plan. This process will allow the public to discuss the control measures in the draft plans, and to identify additional control measures to further reduce the risks identified in the HRAs. The date, time, and location is listed below: February 24, 2009 (Tuesday) 6:30 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. City of Barstow Council Chambers 220 East Mountain View Street Barstow, California, 92311 The public meeting notice is located at the ARB website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/railyard/community/community.htm#mtgs Staff presentations will be posted on the day of the meeting.
