| Subject | Comments on the Draft Environmental Analysis for the Proposed Strategy for Achieving Calif |
| Comment | The Environmental Analysis needs to recognize baseline conditions for organic waste management practices such as landfilling when assessing the emissions from composting and anaerobic digestion facilities. Page 62 (copied above) states that compost facilities could potentially increase VOC and PM emissions, but does not discuss the baseline conditions of these materials being landfilled, with methane and other associated landfill operations emissions. Since the SLCP measures are diverting food waste and green waste from landfilling, these baseline conditions need to be recognized where the net benefit of both greenhouse gas reductions and criteria pollutants can be demonstrated when diverting green waste and food waste from landfills to composting and/or anaerobic digestion facilities. |
