I would like to express gratitude to the CSC members from the
community who have made the commitment to make 617 as strong as
possible. A few things that need to be noted in the adoption of
this plan and implementation are the need to focus on policy versus
incentives. Industries make a lot of money at the cost of community
health and do not need to receive MORE benefits to transition to
zero emissions energy or transition out of our neighborhoods. There
is a gap in this document in which AQMD can site industries for
health violations but if these businesses do not require AQMD
permits, AQMD does not send this information to the city/county for
consideration of continued permitting. AQMD should send all NOV
information to any business so cities can add these to the business
records.  Finally, this process cannot be talked about
independently from Indirect Source Rules, which need to be passes
as soon as possible and need a greater degree of community
engagement-as it will fill a great gap that has been identified
multiple times in the CSC space for 617.
