The Warehouse Indirect Source Rule requires the logistics industry to take steps to cut diesel emissions.
Big rigs drive through an industrial area of Redlands in 2021. A South Coast Air Quality Management District rule to fight air pollution from warehouse-bound trucks has survived a court challenge. A 3-year-old rule targeting air pollution linked to Southern California’s logistics industry won approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, federal officials announced Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Southern California’s sprawling logistics sector, which connects the international ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach with Inland Empire warehouses and points beyond, is viewed as a double-edged sword by many. The rule, which applies to warehouses greater than 100,000 square feet, sets up a system in which warehouses choose from a menu of options — installing rooftop solar panels and using zero-emission or near-zero emission trucks, for example — to score a required number of annual points based on calculations involving the number of truck trips a warehouse generates.
