Los Angeles Times – May 7 Southern California air quality officials have adopted controversial new rules on warehouse distribution centers in an effort to cut truck pollution, increase electrification, and reduce health risks in communities hit hardest by lung-damaging diesel exhaust. The South Coast Air Quality Management District’s governing board approved the rules Friday on a 9-4 vote after a lengthy public hearing featuring sharply contrasting viewpoints. Under the rules, facilities must choose from a menu of pollution reduction and mitigation options, such as using electric or natural-gas-fueled trucks, installing charging stations, erecting rooftop solar panels, putting air filters in neighboring schools and child-care centers, or paying for mitigation the latter payment being a measure that some critics maintain is an unconstitutional tax.
