Mr. Davies provided expert advice on the for South Coast Air Quality Management District in a suit filed by the California Trucking Association related to Indirect Source environmental regulations on truck visits to warehouses. The SCAQMD Rule requires large warehouse operators to earn points from a menu of actions to reduce emissions within the South Coast Air Basin. The scope of the project included assessment of compliance strategies likely to be adopted by the warehouse industry, a review of preliminary compliance data received by SCAQMD from warehouse operators, and evaluation of the claim that the Rule is effectively a mandate that forces warehouse operators to purchase or contract with others to purchase electric trucks. A Summary Judgement was issued in SCAQMD’s favor on December 14, 2023.
