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.

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.

$4.5M
in grants to reduce ag equipment pollution
The district is distributing $4.57 million to
help replace diesel tractors, loaders and other

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.
