Subject: Comments on the health and economic analysis
Comment:
The Center for Biological Diversity provides this input regarding the initial results from the air quality and health impacts and economic analyses, released at the April 20 workshop. The results released so far are general with little detail, providing only a summary of results. It is impossible to evaluate the health and economics modeling results at this point without being provided the underlying methods, model documentation, and detailed results. Our comments here are therefore necessarily general and focus on instances where the modeling assumptions appear to be faulty or unsubstantiated, and we recommend ways to make the modeling analyses as robust, science-based, and transparent as possible. We urge the California Air Resources Board to release the details of the modeling--the data inputs, detailed outputs, and the specific assumptions--in order to receive more detailed comments from the public and to modify the modeling and analysis as necessary, before selecting a preferred alternative.
