Cal. Code Regs. tit. 17 § 93130.1
The purpose of this Control Measure is to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx), reactive organic gases (ROG), particulate matter (PM), diesel particulate matter (DPM), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ocean-going vessels while docked at berth at California ports. This Control Measure also ensures that ocean-going vessels do not create excess visible emissions. California's ocean-going vessel operations are largely situated in and around at-risk communities that directly benefit from localized reductions of NOx and PM. This contributes to meeting community health goals set forth in Assembly Bill 617 (Garcia, Stats. 2017, ch. 136). Furthermore, NOx and PM emission reductions contribute to meeting California's State Implementation Plan obligations for attainment, and further California Air Resources Board's (CARB) obligations under sections 39660 et seq. and 43013 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code. Additionally, reductions from shore power have a benefit of reducing GHG emissions. This contributes to meeting California's GHG emission reduction targets established in the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Division 25.5 of the Health and Safety Code) and Senate Bill 32 (Section 38566 of the Health and Safety Code).
The intent of this Control Measure is to ensure that emissions from ocean-going vessels are reduced using a CARB approved emission control strategy to control PM, NOx, and ROG emissions at berth without increasing overall GHG emissions from this Control Measure, and that every ocean-going vessel meets visible emission standards at berth and at anchor. All parties necessary to achieving emission reductions from ocean-going vessels at berth have responsibilities and requirements under this Control Measure, including, but not limited to, vessel operators, terminal operators, ports, and operators of CARB Approved Emission Control Strategy (CAECS).
