1 CALIFORNIA, YOU STILL LOVE ME RIGHT?
2 In the Beginning AB 32 Global Warming Solutions Act of only mandatory GHG program in nation that requires achieving 1990 emission levels by % of state GHG inventory attributed to ag SB 605: Required ARB to complete a Short-Lived Climate Pollutant strategy by January 1, % of methane attributed to dairy manure management 29% of methane attributed to dairy and livestock enteric fermentation SB 32: Extends the state s GHG emissions reduction target to reducing 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030
3 SB 1383 Directs ARB to develop a strategy to reduce dairy and livestock manure emissions by up to 40% from 2013 levels by 2030 (earlier ARB Scoping Plan proposed a 75 % reduction of dairy manure methane from 2013 levels by 2030 and a 25 % reduction in enteric emissions by 2030 with regulations beginning 2017) Regulations developed in consultation with CDFA to reduce dairy emissions cannot take effect before January 1, Prior to that, determination must be made they are technologically and economically feasible, cost effective, include provisions to minimize and mitigate potential leakage, and evaluate achievements made by incentives Must conduct or consider research on dairy methane reduction projects and consider developing and adopting methane reduction protocols Requires ARB, in consultation with CDFA, to analyze progress by July 1, 2020, toward achieving the methane reduction targets allows ARB to reduce the methane reduction goal if it is determined that progress has not been made in meeting targets due to insufficient funding, or technical or market barriers Requires ARB, in consultation with PUC and CEC, to establish energy infrastructure development and procurement policies to encourage dairy biomethane projects to meet the methane reduction goals and requires PUC and CEC to direct gas corporations to implement at least five dairy biomethane pilot projects Requires ARB to provide guidance on credits generated pursuant to the low carbon fuels standard and cap-and-trade program and ensure that projects developed prior to regulation implementation receive credit for at least 10 years and be eligible for an extension of credits
4 SB 1383 continued Requires ARB to develop a pilot financial mechanism to reduce economic uncertainty associated with the value of environmental credits Specifies enteric emissions reductions may only be achieved through incentive based mechanisms, until ARB, in consultation with CDFA, makes specified findings, but authorizes voluntary enteric emissions reductions to be used toward meeting the methane emission reduction goals Specifies ARB is not limited to acquire planning and baseline information Prohibits ARB from adopting methane emission reduction regulations from dairy and livestock operations to achieve GHG emissions reductions other than those required pursuant to SB 1383 Requires CEC, in consultation with ARB and PUC, to develop recommendations for the development and use of renewable gas as part of the 2017 Integrated Energy Policy Report Requires state agencies to consider, and as appropriate, adopt policies and incentives to significantly increase the sustainable production and use of renewable gas and to consider additional policies to support the development and use of renewable gas in the state to reduce SLPs, based on the above recommendations Requires priority for the consideration and adoption of policies above, be given to fuels with the greatest GHG emissions benefits

6 COMMUNITY IMPACT AND MITIGATION A project shall not receive funding unless the applicant has demonstrated to CDFA that the applicant has done all the following: Conducted outreach in areas that will potentially be adversely impacted by the project: Applicants are encouraged to approach residents, community leaders, elected officials, advocacy organizations, local businesses, and members of vulnerable or underserved populations, departments, agencies, jurisdictions, etc. impacted by the project such as local health department, schools/school districts, emergency services, law enforcement, metropolitan planning organization, etc. Applicants are encouraged to use various methods to notify the community of outreach efforts, such as local newspaper, county website, radio and Television. Describe community needs and how the community was involved in the local planning and environmental review processes for this project, including how neighbors were contacted, public meeting dates, and whether translation was needed and provided. Summarize the results of this outreach; identify community s concerns, questions, or comments and how they will be addressed. Provide up to 3 letters of support from community members demonstrating that outreach was conducted.
7 Determined potential adverse impacts of the project: Topic of discussion during outreach efforts must include potential adverse impacts of digester projects, including a net increase in criteria pollutants, toxic air contaminants, hazardous air pollutants, groundwater and surface water impacts, and truck traffic and odor. Committed to measures to mitigate impacts: Describe what, if any, mitigation measures will be included in the project, including but not limited to: mitigating potential impacts such as toxic air contaminants, hazardous air pollutants, groundwater and surface water impacts, truck traffic, odor. Localized Economic Benefits: Applicants must explain economic benefits that will be provided to the community (or communities) where project is located. If your project will create temporary construction and/or permanent jobs in the community, indicate how many jobs, total project work hours, job classification/trade, approximate salaries and benefits for each job classification and trade, how long these jobs will last, and how they compare to current unemployment rates. Grant awardees will be required to report the economic benefits projected or achieved as a result of the project in their quarterly reports to CDFA.
8 CDFA Dairy Digester Research and Development Program 2017 Community Outreach Resources CDFA is partnering with UC Davis Extension Collaboration Center (the Center) to serve as a resource for potential DDRDP applicants to support community outreach efforts. Consultations and meeting assistance will be available on a first-come-first serve basis and based on schedule and resource availability, for up to 10 meetings. CDFA has limited resources and funds available for community outreach activities through the Center; and funds will be allocated to assist as many applicants/developers as possible. Based on the number of requests received and funding availability, each applicant/developer may be limited to assistance for one community meeting.
