| In June 1999, the South Coast AQMD
amended Rule 1158, which applies to the storage, handling, and shipment of
petroleum coke, coal and sulfur. Amended Rule 1158 further reduced
particulate emissions from these sources. Subsequently, California
State legislation (AB 1775 -- Lowenthal) added a Health and Safety Code
section (Section 40459) which calls for the AQMD to maintain a program of
monitoring particulates within the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long
Beach, and assess prevalent coke particulates and improvements in air
quality. To monitor the efficacy of the Rule and address legislative
requirements, the AQMD initiated a series of "Rule 1158
Follow-Up Studies". This page contains reports of a series of ongoing
studies of the particulate matter and elemental carbon concentrations
measured in the greater Long Beach/Wilmington area. The studies are
each about 20 to 20 pages in length, and they can be
downloaded by clicking on the appropriate title below.
