4.5 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.5-37 <br />Table 4.5-5. Applicable Greenhouse Gas–Related Laws and Regulations <br />Project Component <br />Applicable Laws/ <br />Regulations Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Required for Project <br />Medium- and Heavy- <br />Duty Vehicles <br />CARB In-Use On- <br />Road Heavy-Duty <br />Diesel Vehicles <br />Regulation (Truck <br />and Bus <br />Regulation) <br />Any heavy-duty trucks associated with the Project will be subject <br />to CARB standards. The regulation requires diesel trucks and <br />buses that operate in California to be upgraded to reduce <br />emissions. Newer heavier trucks and buses must meet PM filter <br />requirements. Lighter and older heavier trucks must be replaced <br />starting January 1, 2015. By January 1, 2023, nearly all trucks <br />and buses will need to have 2010 model year engines or <br />equivalent. The regulation applies to nearly all privately and <br />federally owned diesel fueled trucks and buses and to privately <br />and publicly owned school buses with a gross vehicle weight <br />rating greater than 14,000 pounds. <br />CARB In-Use Off- <br />Road Diesel <br />Vehicle <br />Regulation <br />Any relevant vehicle or machine use associated with the Project <br />will be subject to CARB standards. <br />The CARB In-Use-Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation applies to <br />certain off-road diesel engines, vehicles, or equipment greater <br />than 25 horsepower. The regulations impose limits on idling, <br />require a written idling policy, and require a disclosure when <br />selling vehicles; require all vehicles to be reported to CARB (using <br />the Diesel Off-Road Online Reporting System) and labeled; <br />restricted the adding of older vehicles into fleets starting on <br />January 1, 2014; and require fleets to reduce their emissions by <br />retiring, replacing, or repowering older engines, or installing <br />Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategies (i.e., exhaust retrofits). <br />The requirements and compliance dates of the Off-Road <br />regulation vary by fleet size, as defined by the regulation. <br />Heavy-Duty <br />Vehicle GHG <br />Emission <br />Reduction <br />Regulation <br />Any relevant vehicle or machine use associated with the Project will <br />be subject to CARB standards. The CARB Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG <br />Emission Reduction Regulation applies to heavy-duty tractors that pull <br />53-foot or longer box-type trailers (CCR, Title 17, Division 3, Chapter 1, <br />Subchapter 10, Article 4, Subarticle 1, Section 95300 et seq.). Fuel <br />efficiency is improved through improvements in tractor and trailer <br />aerodynamics and the use of low rolling resistance tires. <br />EPA and NHTSA <br />GHG and CAFE <br />standards. <br />Mobile sources that travel to and from the Project site would be <br />subject to EPA and NHTSA GHG and CAFE standards for medium- <br />and heavy-duty vehicles (76 FR 57106–57513). <br />Water Use <br />Water Use Efficiency Emergency State <br />Water Board <br />Regulations <br />Water use associated with the Project will be subject to <br />emergency regulations. On May 18, 2016, partially in response <br />to EO B-27-16, the State Water Board adopted emergency water <br />use regulations (CCR, title 23, Section 864.5 and amended and <br />re-adopted Sections 863, 864, 865, and 866). The regulation <br />directs the State Water Board, Department of Water Resources, <br />and CPUC to implement rates and pricing structures to <br />incentivize water conservation, and calls upon water suppliers, <br />homeowner’s associations, California businesses, landlords and <br />tenants, and wholesale water agencies to take stronger <br />conservation measures.
