Posted: 03 Aug 2011 16:03:57
Supporting materials related to air emissions and the economic analysis are now available for the Amendments to the Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) Regulation. The materials can be downloaded from the CHE website at the following link: http://www.arb.ca.gov/ports/cargo/cheamd2011.htm The amendments to CHE Regulation provide additional flexibility to owners/operators in an effort to reduce compliance costs, maintain the anticipated emissions reduction benefits of the regulation, and clarify several provisions in the regulation. The amendments address several areas including: retrofit requirements, operational requirements, emission standards, compliance requirements, definitions, and other clarifying language. Cargo handling equipment is used to transfer goods or perform maintenance and repair activities and includes equipment such as yard trucks (hostlers), rubber-tired gantry cranes, top handlers, side handlers, forklifts, and loaders. The Regulation for Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment at Ports and Intermodal Rail Yards was adopted in December 2005 to reduce diesel particulate matter in communities located near ports and intermodal rail yards. Additional information on the regulation is available at the following link: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cargo If you have any questions, please contact Kirk Rosenkranz at (916) 327-7843 or krosenkr@arb.ca.gov.
