| Comment | In the Environmental Analysis section of the documents released last night, CARB staff states, DIRECT QUOTE "Since these values were not used in the evaluation of environmental impacts in the Draft EA, staff has determined that these changes would not require new or modified compliance responses and would not result in any new reasonably foreseeable significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of an already identified environmental impact in he Draft EA." Wow, we are talking about CARB's estimate of ACTUAL emission levels. Not baseline emission levels, not permitted emission levels, we are talking about CARB's estimate of ACTUAL emission levels so keep that in mind and re-read the quote above. CARB is saying that they don't need to change the environmental analysis due to a change in ACTUAL emissions "since these values were not used in the evaluation of environmental impacts in the Draft EA." in the first place! Did you know that the State can ignore actual current environmental conditions when preparing an Environmental Analysis? I didn't. But CARB admits here that they paid no attention to ACTUAL emissions when they prepared the Draft Environmental Analysis so they don't have to react when the estimate of ACTUAL emissions changes (in this case by 50%)! Does CARB think this is legal? Do any other attorneys out there think this is legal? Every day of my life I learn something new. I am learning so much about environmentalism. |
