New EPA rule means cleaner trucks are coming

Will it be enough to help Southwest Detroit?

This story was written by Brian Allnutt and originally published by Planet Detroit

Keith Rodgerson, who lives near the intersection of 25th street and Toledo feels his city is moving in the wrong direction.

He’s watched a steep increase in the number of heavy-duty trucks in his neighborhood after Mayor Mike Duggan’s administration negotiated a land deal with the Moroun family, giving it property near Grand Blvd. and Toledo in exchange for parcels needed for the Stellantis expansion on the east side of Detroit. And those trucks, particularly when they idle in residential neighborhoods like his, bring with them a large amount of pollution.

ADVERTISEMENT

But a new rule put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in December may offer some relief.

The rule change, which is the first to update tailpipe standards for heavy-duty truck emissions in more than 20 years, will cut smog- and soot-forming pollutants by more than 80% over current limits, beginning with the model year 2027.

When Raquel Garcia, executive director for the advocacy group Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision, heard the news, she felt a sense of relief.

“It just feels deeply personal to the work that we’ve been doing,” said Garcia, whose group advocates for residents who deal with poor air quality, noise, and damage to homes caused by the high volume of heavy-duty truck traffic in the area.

Importantly for Southwest Detroit, the new rules will require nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel engine emissions to be reduced to 35 parts per million (ppm), an 83 percent reduction from currently allowed levels.

Nitrogen oxide pollution from diesel vehicles is a major driver of air pollution-related deaths and also contributes to the formation of ozone, which can cause heart disease and trigger asthma attacks and other lung problems. Environmental advocates hope the new rules could benefit a city that was recently listed as the nation’s number one “asthma capital” by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

“The change from 200 to 35 PPM for NOx is historic and brave to environmental communities like Detroit that live in a toxic chemical soup produced by industry and the transportation that moves the products that make this country thrive,” SDEV said in a statement.

But Garcia also voiced concern about how the EPA would go about helping truck owner-operators, many of whom are based in southwest Detroit, transition to cleaner technologies.

“We rely on trucking,” she said. “A lot of people in Detroit rely on it.”

Her takeaway from a recent EPA call is that the agency is serious about working with trucking companies to transition to cleaner vehicles with funding from the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act.

Will it make a difference for southwest?

Some residents question how much impact the new rules will have, with the new Gordie Howe International Bridge set to bring even more truck traffic to a neighborhood that already sees a hefty amount of it from the Ambassador Bridge and the freeways that cut through the area.

They say lax enforcement of traffic routes and idling ordinances have allowed trucks to effectively take over their neighborhood, bringing with them air pollution, noise, and structural damage to homes on account of the constant shaking.

Heavy-duty diesel trucks cause about 50% of the nation’s ozone pollution from vehicles and about a quarter of the transportation sector’s total carbon pollution. These emissions are produced at ground level, next to homes, schools, and businesses, and are often concentrated in marginalized communities, with one study showing that diesel trucks produced half of the nitrogen dioxide pollution in 52 U.S. cities.

Margo T. Oge, a former EPA official and chair of the board of directors for the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), told Planet Detroit that it’s significant that the EPA’s rule change has attracted support from the American Lung Association and that manufacturers like Daimler Truck and diesel engine manufacturer Cummins believe the 83% reduction is an achievable target.

But the new standards have attracted some criticism for not going far enough, falling short of California’s recently passed regulations that would cut NOx emissions by 90 percent.

The EPA says its cuts will decrease NOx pollution from trucks by as much as 60% by 2045, a gradual decrease in air pollution that may seem insignificant for those dealing with asthma and other problems today.

Some in the trucking industry are also skeptical of the new rules, albeit for very different reasons. Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs for the Owner-Operator Independent Driver Association (OOIDA), said independent operators were hit hard by a 2010 change to truck emission and fuel economy standards, leading them to pay more for diagnostics and repair. Southwest Detroit is home to more than a few such businesses, with Garcia from SDEV saying she personally knows 15 owner-operators.

However, Oge cautions that the current rule change shouldn’t be viewed through the lens of the 2010 changes. That’s because the federal Inflation Reduction Act is making billions of dollars in grants available for clean transportation and reducing air pollution in disadvantaged communities. She also suggested that advocates concerned that the EPA’s NOx rule doesn’t go far enough should push for Michigan to copy the regulations adopted by states like California and Washington. The ICCT found that if rules similar to California’s new regulations were adopted nationwide, they could prevent $1.3 trillion in health damages between 2027 and 2050

Garcia says the SDEV plans to help truck owners obtain funding to transition to cleaner vehicles in Southwest Detroit. She would also like to see the city show more leadership on air quality issues in Southwest, particularly at the Port of Detroit, which could involve reducing the use of diesel trucks and relying more on rail transportation. She suggested that the EPA institute a performance plan for Detroit to track how well it’s addressing environmental problems like air pollution.

Such oversight might help address the concerns of Detroiters like Keith Rodgerson, who criticized the Duggan administration for being “friendly to the expansion of noxious uses inside neighborhoods”.

“It just seems like for us here in Mexicantown, things are getting worse and will continue to get worse,” he said, “regardless of any action that the EPA takes.”

La nueva regla de la EPA significa vienen camiones más limpios

¿Será suficiente para ayudar al suroeste de Detroit?

Esta historia fue escrito por Brian Allnutt y publicada originalmente por Planet Detroit

Keith Rodgerson, vive cerca de la intersección de la calle 25 y Toledo y ha sentido que la ciudad está caminando en la dirección equivocada.

Se ha percatado de un gran aumento del tráfico pesado en su comunidad después de que la administración del alcalde Mike Duggan negociara un intercambio de tierras con la familia Moroun, dándoles una propiedad cerca de Grand Blvd. y Toledo, a cambio de unas parcelas que eran necesarias para la expansión de Stellantis en el lado este de Detroit. Los camiones, particularmente cuando están inactivos en vecindarios residenciales como el suyo, traen consigo una gran cantidad de contaminación.

Pero una nueva regla presentada por la Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA) en diciembre puede ofrecer algo de alivio a la comunidad.

Este es el primer cambio en la reglamentación en más de 20 años, que consiste en la actualización de los estándares del tubo de escape para poder controlar las emisiones de los tráileres, lo cual se estima que reducirá los contaminantes que forman smog y hollín en más del 80 % de los límites actuales, a partir del año 2027.

Cuando Raquel García, directora ejecutiva del grupo de defensa Southwest Detroit Environmental Vision, escuchó la noticia, sintió una sensación de alivio.

“Simplemente se siente como un logro personal por todo el trabajo que hemos estado haciendo”, dijo García, cuyo grupo ha abogado por los residentes que lidian con la mala calidad del aire, el ruido y los daños a los hogares causados por el tráfico de vehículos pesados en la zona.

De manera importante para el suroeste de Detroit, la nueva reglamentación requerirá que el óxido de nitrógeno (NOx) de las emisiones de los motores diésel se reduzcan a 35 partes por millón (ppm), una reducción del 83% de los niveles permitidos actualmente.

La contaminación por óxido de nitrógeno de los vehículos diésel es una de las principales causas de muertes relacionadas con la contaminación del aire y también contribuye a la formación de ozono, que puede causar enfermedades cardíacas y desencadenar ataques de asma y otros problemas pulmonares. Los defensores del medio ambiente esperan que las nuevas regulaciones puedan beneficiar a una ciudad que recientemente fue catalogada como la “capital del asma” por ocupar el puesto número uno a nivel nacional por la fundación Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

“El cambio de 200 a 35 PPM de NOx es histórico y valiente para comunidades tan dañadas medioambientalmente como Detroit, que viven en una sopa química tóxica, producida por la industria y el transporte que mueve los productos que hacen que este país prospere”, dijo SDEV en un comunicado.

Pero García también expresó su preocupación sobre cómo la EPA ayudará a los propietarios-operadores de camiones, muchos de los cuales tienen su sede en el suroeste de Detroit, a hacer la transición a tecnologías más limpias.

“Dependemos de los camiones”, dijo. “Mucha gente en Detroit depende de ellos”.

Su conclusión tras una llamada reciente de la EPA es que la agencia se está tomando en serio el trabajo con las empresas camioneras para hacer la transición a vehículos más limpios con los fondos de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación recientemente aprobada.

¿Hará una diferencia para el suroeste de Detroit?

Algunos residentes se preguntan cuánto impacto real tendrán las nuevas regulaciones, con el nuevo Puente Internacional Gordie Howe listo para atraer aún más tráfico de camiones a un vecindario que ya tiene demasiados, con el Puente Ambassador y las autopistas que atraviesan el área.

Dicen que el ordenamiento despreocupado de las rutas de tráfico y las ordenanzas de ralentí han permitido que los camiones se apoderen de su vecindario, trayendo consigo contaminación del aire, ruido y daños estructurales a los hogares debido a los constantes temblores.

Los camiones diésel de tráfico pesado causan alrededor del 50% de la contaminación vehicular por ozono de la nación y alrededor de una cuarta parte de la contaminación total de carbono en el sector transporte. Estas emisiones se producen a nivel del suelo, junto a hogares, escuelas y negocios, y a menudo se concentran en comunidades marginadas, con un estudio que muestra que los camiones diésel producen la mitad de la contaminación por dióxido de nitrógeno en 52 ciudades de EE. UU.

Margo T. Oge, exfuncionaria de la EPA y presidenta de la junta directiva del Consejo Internacional de Transporte Limpio (ICCT, por sus siglas en inglés), dijo a Planet Detroit que es importante que el cambio de la reglamentación de la EPA haya atraído el apoyo de la Asociación Estadounidense del Pulmón y que fabricantes como Cummins, fabricante de camiones y motores diésel de Daimler, creen que la reducción del 83 % es un objetivo alcanzable.

Pero los nuevos estándares han acarreado algunas críticas por no ir lo suficientemente lejos y no cumplir con las regulaciones aprobadas recientemente en California que reducirían las emisiones de NOx en un 90%.
La EPA dice que su reducción reducirá la contaminación por NOx de los camiones hasta en un 60 % para 2045, una disminución gradual de la contaminación del aire que puede parecer insignificante para quienes padecen asma y otros problemas en la actualidad.

Algunos en la industria del transporte por carretera también se muestran escépticos sobre las nuevas regulaciones, aunque por razones muy diferentes. Collin Long, Director de Asuntos Gubernamentales de la Asociación de Conductores Independientes de Propietarios y Operadores (OOIDA, por sus siglas en inglés), dijo que los operadores independientes se vieron muy afectados por un cambio en 2010 en los estándares de emisiones y valor del combustible para los camiones, lo que los llevó a pagar más por el diagnóstico y la reparación. El suroeste de Detroit es el hogar de varias empresas de este tipo, y García de SDEV dice que conoce personalmente a 15 propietarios-operadores.

Sin embargo, Oge advierte que el cambio en las reglamentaciones no debe compararse con los cambios de 2010. Eso se debe a que la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación Federal está poniendo a disposición miles de millones de dólares en subvenciones para el transporte limpio y la reducción de la contaminación del aire en las comunidades desfavorecidas. También sugirió que los defensores preocupados por que la reglamentación de NOx de la EPA no vaya lo suficientemente lejos deberían presionar para que Michigan copie las regulaciones adoptadas por estados como California y Washington. El ICCT descubrió que, si se adoptaran reglamentaciones similares de California en todo el país, se podrían evitar $1.3 billones en daños a la salud entre 2027 y 2050

García dice que SDEV planea ayudar a los propietarios de camiones a obtener fondos para la transición a vehículos más limpios en el suroeste de Detroit. También le gustaría ver que la ciudad muestre más liderazgo en temas de calidad del aire en el suroeste, particularmente en el Puerto de Detroit, lo que podría implicar reducir el uso de camiones diésel y depender más del transporte ferroviario. Ella sugirió que la EPA instituirá un plan de desempeño en Detroit para rastrear qué tan bien está abordando problemas ambientales como la contaminación del aire.

Tal supervisión podría ayudar a abordar las preocupaciones de los habitantes de Detroit como Keith Rodgerson, quien criticó a la administración de Duggan por ser “amigable con la expansión de usos nocivos dentro de los vecindarios”.

“Parece que para nosotros aquí en Mexicantown, las cosas están empeorando y seguirán empeorando”, dijo, “sin importar las acciones que tome la EPA”.
