Environmental gains
 

Blue WhalesShip speed reduction lowered coastal air pollution

 

Results from the 2023 Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies vessel speed reduction program show it reduced coastal California air pollution, risk to whales and ocean noise. Participating companies reduced ship speeds off California, transiting at 10 knots or less in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay region and the Southern California region, including Ventura County.

 

Public comment period
 

Preliminary decision to certify emission reduction credit

 

The public can submit written comments on the preliminary decision to certify an emission reduction credit (ERC) to Performance Materials Corp. in Camarillo through Thursday, May 9.

 

ERCs are created when permitted facilities permanently reduce air emissions beyond what is required. The banked emission reductions are available for use as an offset for emission increases from new, replacement, modified or relocated emission units.

The district is distributing $4.57 million to help replace diesel tractors, loaders and other equipment on farms, ranches and wholesale nurseries with lower-emission versions. Replacement of the 59 pieces of equipment is projected to reduce emissions annually by 713 metric tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, 34 tons of ozone precursors and 2.4 tons of diesel particulate matter.
