sb375 -- Release of ARB Staff’s Technical Evaluations of the Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS) for KCAG and TCAG
Posted: 16 Oct 2015 16:48:56
ARB Staff’s Technical Evaluations of the SCSs for the Kings and Tulare MPO regions are now posted. The staff of the California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has completed its technical reviews of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions quantifications for the SCSs of the Kings County Association of Governments (KCAG) and the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG). Two separate staff reports have been completed to document the staff’s findings that each of these SCSs would, if implemented, achieve the regional GHG emissions targets set by the Board. The staff reports are available from ARB’s SB375 website at http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/sb375/sb375.htm Background: California State law (the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008, Sustainable Communities or SB 375, Statutes of 2008) requires each of the State’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to prepare an SCS to meet the regional GHG emission reduction targets for 2020 and 2035, set by the Board. The statute also requires ARB to review each MPO’s determination that its SCS would, if implemented, achieve the GHG emission reduction targets. On October 22, 2015, the Board will consider whether to accept or reject each of the determinations by KCAG and TCAG that their SCSs would meet the targets for 2020 and 2035. ARB staff is recommending that the Board accept the SCSs as meeting the targets. These items will be on the consent agenda and therefore there will be no staff presentation. The agenda for the October 22, 2015 public meeting is posted at http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/meetings.htm#future.
