4.5 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.5-36 Table 4.5-5. Applicable Greenhouse Gas–Related Laws and Regulations Project Component Applicable Laws/ Regulations Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Required for Project effect on January 1, 2010, with a 1-year sell-through period for containers manufactured before January 1, 2010. The target recycle rate was initially set at 90%, and rose to 95% beginning January 1, 2012. Light-Duty Vehicles AB 1493 (or the Pavley Standard) Cars that drive to and from the Project will be subject to AB 1493, which directed CARB to adopt a regulation requiring the maximum feasible and cost-effective reduction of GHG emissions from new passenger vehicles. Pursuant to AB 1493, CARB adopted regulations that established a declining fleet average standard for CO2, CH4, N2O, and HFCs (air conditioner refrigerants) in new passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks beginning with the 2009 model year and phased-in through the 2016 model year. These standards were divided into those applicable to lighter and those applicable to heavier portions of the passenger vehicle fleet. The regulations will reduce “upstream” smog-forming emissions from refining, marketing, and distribution of fuel. Advanced Clean Car and ZEV Programs Cars that drive to and from the Project will be subject to the Advanced Clean Car and ZEV Programs. In January 2012, CARB approved a new emissions-control program for model years 2017 through 2025. The program combines the control of smog, soot, and global warming gases and requirements for greater numbers of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) into a single package of standards called Advanced Clean Cars. By 2025, new automobiles will emit 34% less global warming gases and 75% less smog-forming emissions. The ZEV Program will act as the focused technology of the Advanced Clean Cars Program by requiring manufacturers to produce increasing numbers of ZEVs and plug-in hybrid EVs in the 2018–2025 model years. Tire Inflation Regulation Cars that drive to and from the Project will be subject to the CARB Tire Inflation Regulation, which took effect on September 1, 2010, and applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less. Under this regulation, automotive service providers must, inter alia, check and inflate each vehicle’s tires to the recommended tire pressure rating, with air or nitrogen, as appropriate, at the time of performing any automotive maintenance or repair service, to keep a copy of the service invoice for a minimum of 3 years, and to make the vehicle service invoice available to the CARB or its authorized representative upon request. EPA and NHTSA GHG and CAFE standards. Mobile sources that travel to and from the Project site would be subject to EPA and NHTSA GHG and CAFE standards for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles (75 FR 25324–25728 and 77 FR 62624–63200).
