Notice of Public Consultation Meeting
Proposed Rule 4010 – Emissions Inventory and Health Risk Assessment Submittal Requirements for the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach;
Proposed Rule 4020 – Backstop Requirements for Emission Reductions and Health Risks at the San Pedro Bay Ports.

On March 5, 2010, the AQMD released the first public drafts of Proposed Rule 4010 – Emissions Inventory and Health Risk Assessment Submittal Requirements for the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach, and Proposed Rule 4020 – Backstop Requirements for Emission Reductions and Health Risks at the San Pedro Bay Ports.  These proposed rules are designed to ensure that the Ports achieve their fair share of emission reductions that will allow the Basin to meet upcoming PM2.5 and ozone standards.  In addition, the proposed rules will ensure that the Ports achieve health risk reduction targets.

We would like to hear from you to solicit information and your suggestions regarding the proposed rules.  We invite you to attend a meeting on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at the Silverado Park Social Hall in Long Beach.  This meeting will be the first in a series of stakeholder meetings on Proposed Rules 4010 and 4020.

The proposed rule language is available on our website at

We look forward to working with you.  If you have any questions regarding this meeting, please contact:
