Comment:
I am writing regarding the Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds, Investments to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities: Interim Guidance to Agencies Administering Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Monies. I would like to register my organization’s concerns about the use of the CalEnviroScreen 2.0 Tool in assessing Disadvantaged Communities for the purpose of the distributing these funds. By using this tool, seriously disadvantaged communities in our region and the whole Sierra will not, and cannot, be considered as a DAC. This puts our region at an unfair disadvantage when applying for funding. We urge instead that you use the DAC status determined based on the DAC definition provided in DWR's Proposition 84 and 1E IRWM Guidelines, dated August, 2010.
