CLEAN TRUCKS * USA - Environment Group Wants Review
Natural Resources Defense Council questions Long Beach settlement with ATA
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Nov 18, 2009: -- The Natural Resources Defense Council is asking the Long Beach City Council to review the Oct. 19 settlement reached by the Port of Long Beach and the American Trucking Associations involving the port's clean truck program... David Pettit, the NRDC's lead attorney in Los Angeles, charged that the harbor commission failed to perform a review of the proposed settlement agreement, as it is required to do under city and state law, to determine if it complies with the California Environmental Quality Act... Under terms of the settlement, the port agreed to drop the motor carrier concession requirements from its clean truck program and replace them with a registration agreement... The port can simply prevent non-compliant trucks on an individual basis from entering marine terminals. The burden of compliance is therefore placed on the owner-operator drivers rather than the trucking companies...
