August 27th DCWOC Meeting Club News Rich Gillock Monday 07 July 2008 - 06:30:00 pm August 27 DCWOC Meeting Sam Hall, District Representative for State Senator Alan Lowenthal  Sam Hall has served as District Representative for Senator Alan Lowenthal since 2006. Sam represents the Senator to the Cities of Long Beach, Signal Hill and Avalon and on policy matters related to Ports, Goods Movement and Environmental issues.Senate Bill 974 will improve air quality and reduce health related problems in port communities by funding pollution relief and other improvements. The bill will place a nominal $30 fee on each shipping container entering the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland—$15 each for pollution mitigation and rail improvements. The minimal added cost is inconsequential and is far outweighed by the undeniable health benefits. It is estimated that there is a 1 in 700 increased cancer risk in port communities. This rate is far above the 1-in-onemillion risk level considered acceptable by the U.S. EPA. Children and the elderly are most at risk. According to a report by the California Air Resources Board (ARB), air pollution from the ports causes 2,400 premature deaths annually. The ARB also estimates that over the next 15 years polluting activity from operations at California's ports will cost the state approximately $200 billion. Moreover, southern California is at risk of losing $12.1 billion in federal highway funds if federal Clean Air Act standards are not met.
