Comment:
I am writing regarding the Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds, Investments to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities: Interim Guidance to Agencies Administering Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Monies. I would like to register American Rivers' concerns about the use of the CalEnviroScreen 2.0 Tool in assessing Disadvantaged Communities for the purpose of distributing these funds. By using this tool, seriously disadvantaged communities in California's most important sourcewater areas, including the entire Sierra will not be considered as a DAC. This puts these communities at an unfair disadvantage, when applying for funding. We urge instead that you use the income-based DAC status determined based on the DAC definition provided in DWR's Proposition 84 and 1E IRWM Guidelines, dated August, 2010.
