The emissions reductions associated with Measure RW-3 High
Recycling/Zero Waste should definitely be counted toward the AB 32
goal
in the
October 2008 Proposed Scoping Plan (Plan). Specifically, footnote
#43
in Table 20 on page 63, Section II.15 Recycling and Waste,
states,
"Reductions from RW-2 and RW-3 are not counted toward the AB 32
goal."
The Scoping Plan must be amended to include Measure RW-3. The goal
of
Zero Waste is a direct link to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, the Plan recommends no specific actions or policies
to
implement RW-3, again an untenable oversight. We urge CIWMB & CARB
to
take
urgent action to ensure that the Plan is revised to count RW-3
emissions
reductions towards the AB 32 goal, and to add specific actions
and
policies to achieve RW-3 reductions, including: mandatory
commercial
recycling; phase-out of diversion credit for green waste
alternative
daily cover; and adoption of Extended Producer Responsibility
framework
legislation.
