i i Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-12 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Revised Project • • Senate Bill 32 i In September of 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 32 into law, which extended the i goals of AB32 and set a goal 2030 goal of reducing GHG emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. With SB 32, the Legislature passed companion legislation AB 197, which provided i additional direction for developing the Scoping Plan. i In December of 2017, CARB adopted the second update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan, i the 2017 Scoping Plan. The 2017 Scoping Plan provides a framework for achieving the 2030 target. The 2017 Scoping Plan Update builds upon the successful framework established by the i initial Scoping Plan and the first update(the 2013 Update), while identifying new, i technologically feasible, and cost-effective strategies to ensure that California meets its GHG i reduction targets in a way that promotes and rewards innovation, continues to foster economic i growth, and delivers improvements to the environment and public health, including in disadvantaged communities. The 2017 Plan includes policies to require direct GHG reductions i at some of the State's largest stationary sources and mobile sources. These policies include the i use of lower GHG fuels, efficiency regulations, and the Cap-and-Trade Program, which i constraints and reduces emissions at covered sources. The 2017 Plan also noted that the Recycling and Waste Sector generates two percent of California's total GHG emissions. i San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan • An inventory of countywide GHG emissions (including the solid waste sector), projections, i reduction strategies and policies were reviewed in the San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan (Appendix A: General Plan Sustainability Policies and Programs). The GHG inventory found that the waste emissions sector(including managed landfill and controlled incineration GHG i emissions) generated approximately one percent of 2007 (41,067 metric tons of COze) • countywide emissions and was projected to generate approximately one percent of 2020 • emissions (47,343 metric tons of CQe). i The San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan identified the following policy related to GHG i emissions and landfills: i PHS-6.5: Diversion,Recycling, and Reuse. The County shall achieve a 75 percent • diversion of landfilled waste based on 1990 levels by 2020, and shall achieve a diversion rate of 90 percent by 2035. i The San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan Final EIR included the following mitigation measure i related to landfills: i IS-1.18: Landfill Capacity. The County shall analyze remaining landfill capacity and i continue to implement solid waste diversion programs in order to increase the rate of i diversion across all communities and increase the usable life of existing landfill disposal facilities. i i SJVAPCD Climate Change Action Plan i Recognizing the amount of regulatory guidance, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control i District's Governing Board adopted the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) in August 2008. i The CCAP directed the District's Air Pollution Control Officer to develop guidance to assist District staff,Valley businesses, land—use agencies, and other permitting agencies in addressing i GHG emissions as part of the CEQA process. Regarding CEQA GHG guidance, the goals of the i i • i
