SUMMARY:Truck Count
DESCRIPTION:Community based truck counting is the on-the-ground assessment of on-road truck and vehicular traffic passing through a neighborhood at a given time. We will also be monitoring the air pollution that’s given off in these locations! \nWhy are we doing this? This type of data is invaluable in showing disparities across and even within communities when it comes to heavily trafficked roads that are located near where people live\, work\, and play. \nYou’ll have several opportunities to join us at either 8am\, 12pm\, or 4pm on both days. We’ll also have a virtual information session on Tuesday\, April 25th at 10am and 6pm for those who’d like more information on the event. Food and refreshments will be provided. \nHere’s a link to sign up. We’ll be offering volunteer hours for high school and college students as well!

SUMMARY:In-Person Public Hearing - Vineland Municipal Electric Utility
DESCRIPTION:Notice is hereby given that the Vineland Municipal Electric Utility (VMEU) submitted an application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for a permit renewal with a significant modification of its Title V Air Permit for the following facility: \nFacility Name: Howard M. Down Generating Station\nFacility Location: 211 N. West Avenue\, Vineland\, NJ\nProgram Interest (PI) No: 75507\nPermit Activity No: BOP190002 \nThis facility’s location has been identified as part of an overburdened community pursuant to the NJ Environmental Justice Law\, NJSA 13:1D-157 et seq. In accordance with NJ Administrative Order No. 2021-25\, VMEU intends to hold a Public Information Session at the following time and location: \nDate: April 20\, 2023\nTime: 6:00 p.m.\nLocation: City Council Chambers Vineland City Hall 640 E. Wood Street\, Vineland\, NJ \nFor additional information regarding the information session\, or to obtain a copy of the pending permit application\, please contact Jeff Davis via e-mail at jdavis@vinelandcity.org. The only significant source of emissions at the Howard M. Down facility is Unit 11. Unit 11 comprises a 64 megawatt electric generator powered by a simple cycle combustion turbine\, and supplies electrical power to the regional electric power grid. Unit 11 has been in operation since 2011\, and is a major source for NOx emissions only. With this permit renewal with significant modification\, VMEU is seeking a slight increase in the maximum hourly heat input limits for Unit 11. The limits have been adjusted to correct a previous error from the prior authorization (August 31\, 2005 – BOP100003) \nVMEU encourages public participation from interested parties either through attendance at the public information session\, or by submitting written comments to Jeff Davis via e-mail at jdavis@vinelandcity.org. VMEU encourages those submitting comments to include information regarding existing environmental and public health stressors that could result in adverse impacts on the affected community. This notice opens the initial minimum 60-day comment period for this permit application. The comment period begins on March 17\, 2023 and concludes on May 20\, 2023. Each written comment must contain the following: \n• Commenter’s name\, address\, telephone number and email address\n• Facility PI No. (75507) or facility name (Howard M. Down Generating Station)

SUMMARY:Webinar: How Clean Shipping Policies Can Improve Air Quality & Save Lives
DESCRIPTION:An overview of opportunities to accelerate a zero-emission maritime future and tools to quantify air quality and health benefits of port electrification\nCalifornia’s Air Resources Board (CARB) recently began implementation of two Ocean Going Vessels and Harbor Craft regulations. The 2020 At Berth Regulation requires certain Ocean Going Vessel types\, including container vessels\, reefer and cruise ships\, to plug into shore power while at berth. The 2022 amendments to CARB’s Commercial Harbor Craft Rule requires certain types of harbor craft to use cleaner upgrades and newer technology\, and for short-run ferries to achieve zero emissions by 2026. CARB reported that the harbor craft amendments alone will yield more than $5 billion in health benefits. \n \nIn February 2023\, the International Council on Clean Transportation released a study highlighting the health and air quality benefits of port electrification in other parts of the country\, including Seattle and New York City. The ICCT study shows that port electrification\, including shore power and electric drayage trucks\, can reduce air pollution\, save lives\, and offer millions in public health benefits each year. The tools ICCT used to estimate air pollution reductions and health benefits are free to use\, meaning ports or other interested stakeholders can perform their own analyses. \nPolicies like CARB’s shore power and harbor craft regulation\, coupled with port-side electrification\, helps to reduce ship and port pollution — improving air quality and public health\, saving lives and advancing industry decarbonization goals. States and port authorities can accelerate a clean shipping future through policy action and port side infrastructure development\, supported by unprecedented levels of federal funding through MARAD and the IRA. \nJoin us to learn more on the policies\, strategies and funding opportunities to decarbonize ships and ports\, as well as the public health and air quality benefits of port electrification and the tools that can be used to quantify these benefits. \n \nWHEN: Tuesday April 18th // 12:00-1:30pm PST \nHOSTS: The International Council on Clean Transportation\, Friends of the Earth and Pacific Environment \nREGISTER: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sTlb-GHCRBaAZ41PikqMcg  \nSPEAKERS:\n \n\nSarah Meginness Froman\, EPA Ports Initiative Team Lead\, Environmental Protection Agency\nBryan Comer\, Marine Program Lead\, The International Council on Clean Transportation\nTerrance L. Bankston\, Senior Ports and Freights Campaigner\, Friends of the Earth (FoE)\nTeresa Bui\, State Climate Policy Director\, Pacific Environment

Sims will respond to all timely-submitted comments. \nSims currently operates “feeder yards” at the Noble Street\, Roanoke and Hawkins Street facilities. The Port Newark facility is a port facility that sends outbound recyclable metals via vessel\, barge or railcar. Each of the abovementioned permit activity numbers (for each of the four facilities) includes all Material Handling operations (related to recyclable metals) performed by mobile equipment at the particular facility. The requested preconstruction air permit applications were submitted in accordance with NJDEP Compliance Advisory #2021-03\, related to material handling activities at scrap metal handling and recycling facilities.

SUMMARY:Addressing Indoor Air Pollution with WE ACT for EJ Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join Just Solutions for a webinar with WE ACT for Environmental Justice to explore their work to address indoor air pollution. Through the Out of Gas\, In with Justice Pilot\, WE ACT for EJ assessed the benefits and feasibility of replacing gas stoves with induction stoves in affordable housing homes in New York. This webinar will explore their work and offer practical examples to replicate lessons learned in your context. \nRegister Here \nAcross the country\, BIPOC-Frontline communities are facing overexposure to indoor air pollution which has led to poor health outcomes\, disproportionate fossil fuel emissions\, and greater inequity gaps. \nThis webinar will examine the process of implementing the study\, the results of the pilot\, and the lessons learned. We will discuss opportunities for policy change and review potential avenues to explore how indoor air pollution impacts your community. Lastly\, we will explore how communities can understand this topic in the context of federal funding opportunities. \nRegister Here
