Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-12 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Revised Project Senate Bill 32 In September of 2016, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB)32 into law, which extended the 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 additional direction for developing the Scoping Plan. In December of 2017, CARB adopted the second update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan, 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 initial Scoping Plan and the first update (the 2013 Update),while identifying new, technologically feasible, and cost-effective strategies to ensure that California meets its GHG reduction targets in a way that promotes and rewards innovation, continues to foster economic growth, and delivers improvements to the environment and public health, including in disadvantaged communities. The 2017 Plan includes policies to require direct GHG reductions at some of the State's largest stationary sources and mobile sources. These policies include the use of lower GHG fuels,efficiency regulations, and the Cap-and-Trade Program, which 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. Senate Bill 1383 In September of 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 1383 into law, establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLOP)in various sectors of California's economy,including solid waste. As it pertains to CalRecycle, SB 1383 establishes targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in the level of the statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction by 2025. The law grants CalRecycle the regulatory authority required to achieve the organic waste disposal reduction targets and establishes an additional target that not less than 20 percent of currently disposed edible food is recovered for human consumption by 2025. Assembly Bill 1826 In October of 2014, Governor Brown signed AB 1826 into law,requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount of waste they generate per week. This law also requires that on and after January 1,2016, local jurisdictions across the state implement an organic waste recycling program to divert organic waste generated by businesses,including multifamily residential dwellings that consist of five or more units (please note,however,that multifamily dwellings are not required to have a food waste diversion program). Organic waste (also referred to as organics throughout this resource)means food waste, green waste,landscape and pruning waste,nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste. This law phases in the mandatory recycling of commercial organics over time,while also offering an exemption process for rural counties. San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan An inventory of countywide GHG emissions (including the solid waste sector), projections, 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
