Figure 2(continued) t) Where applicable,projects should provide information about air quality related programs to schools, including the Environmental Justice Community Partnerships(EJCP),Clean Air Ranger Education(CARE), and Why Air Duality Matters programs. u) Projects should work with local cities and counties to install adequate signage that prohibits truck idling in certain locations(e.g.,near schools and sensitive receptors). v) As applicable for airport projects,the following measures should be considered; - Considering operational improvements to reduce taxi time and auxiliary power unit usage,where feasible.Additionally,consider single engine taxing,if feasible as allowed per Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. - Set goals to achieve a reduction in emissions from aircraft operations over the lifetime of the proposed project - Use ground service equipment(GSE)that can operate on battery-power.If using electric equipment is not feasible,require the use of alternative fuel,the cleanest gasoline equipment,or Tier 4 Final,at a minimum. w) As applicable for port projects,the following measures should be considered: - Develop specifictfinefires fortransihoning to zero-emissions cargo handling equipment(CHE). - Develop Interim performance standards with a minimum amount of CHE replacement each yearto ersure adequate(progress. - Use short side electric power for ships,which may include tugboats and other ocean-going vessels or develop incentives to gradually ramp up the usage of shore power. - Install the appropriate infrastructure to provide shore powerto operate the ships..Electrical hookups should be appropriately sized. - Maximize participation in the Port of Los Angeles'Vessel Speed Reduction Program orthe Port of Long Beach's Green Flag Initiation Program in order to reduce the speed of vessel transiting within 40 nautical miles of Point Fermin. - Encourage the participation in the Green Ship Incentives. - Offer incentives to encourage the use of on-dock rail. x) As applicable for rail projects,the following measures should be considered: - Provide the h'ghest incentives for electric locomotives and then locomotives that meet Tier 5 emission standards with a floor on the incentives for locomotives that meet Tier 4 emission standards. y) Projects that will introduce sensitive receptors within 500 feet of freeways and other sources should consider installing high-efficiency or enhanced filtration units,such as Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)13 or better.Installation of enhanced filtration units can be verified during occupancy inspection prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. z) Develop an ongoing monitoring,inspection,and maintenance program for the MERV filters, aaa - Disclose potential health impacts to prospective sensitive receptors from living in dose proximity to freeways or other sources of air pollution and the reduced effectiveness of airfiRtration systems when windows are open or residents are outside. - Identifythe responsible implementing and enforcement agencyto ensure that enhanced filtration units are installed on-site before a permit of occupancy is issued. - Disclose the potential increase in energy costs for running the HVAC system to prospective residents. - Provide information to residents on where MERV filters can be purchased. - Provide recommended schedule(e.g.,every year or every six months)far replacing the enhanced filtration units. - Identify the responsible entity such as future residents themselves,Homeowners Association,or property managers for ensuring enhanced filtration units are replaced on time. - Identify,provide,and disclose ongoing cost-sharing strategies,if any,forreplacing the enhanced filtration units. - Set criteria for assessing progress in installing and replacing the enhanced filtration units;and - Develop a process for evaluatingthe effectiveness ofthe enhanced filtration units. aa)Consult the SCAG Equity Resources for Action(ERA)Toolbox available on the SCAG's Environmental Justice webpage for potential measures to address impacts to low-income andfor communities of color. bb)The following criteria related to diesel emissions shall be implemented on by Individual project sponsors as appropriate and feasible: - Diesel nonroad vehicles on site for more than 10 total days shall have either Cl)engines that meet EPA on road emissions standards or(2)emission control technology verified by EPA or CARE to reduce PM emissions by a minimum of 85%. - Diesel generators on site for more than 10 total days shall be equipped with emission control technology verified by EPA or CARB to reduce PM emissions by a minimum of 65%. - Nonroad diesel engines on site shall be Tier 2 or higher. - Diesel nonroad construction equipment on site for more than 10 total days shall have either(1)engines meeting EPA Tierd nonroad emissions standards or(2)emission control technology verified by EPA or CARS for use with nonroad engines to reduce PM emissions by a minimum of&5%for engines for 50 hp and greater and by a minimum of 20%for engines less than 50 hp. - The construction contractor shall maintain a fist of all diesel vehicles,construction equipment,and generators to be used on site.The list shall include the following:. I. Contractor and subcontractor name and addresar plus contact person responsible forthe vehicles. or equipment. i. Equipment type,equipment manufacturer,equipment serial number,engine manufacturer,engine model year,engine certification(Tier rating),horsepower,engine sefial number,and expected fuel usage and hours of operation.
