4.5 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.5-33 <br />Table 4.5-5. Applicable Greenhouse Gas–Related Laws and Regulations <br />Project Component <br />Applicable Laws/ <br />Regulations Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Required for Project <br />manner. The regulation allows local air districts to voluntarily <br />enter into a memorandum of understanding with CARB to <br />implement and enforce the regulation and to assess fees to <br />cover costs of implementation. <br />Mandatory <br />Commercial <br />Recycling (AB <br />341) <br />AB 341 will require the Project, if it generates 4 cubic yards or <br />more of commercial solid waste per week, to arrange for <br />recycling services using one of the following: self-haul, subscribe <br />to a hauler, arrange for pickup of recyclable materials, or <br />subscribe to a recycling service that may include mixed waste <br />processing that yields diversion results comparable to source <br />separation. <br />The Project will also be subject to local commercial solid waste <br />recycling programs required to be implemented by each <br />jurisdiction under AB 341. <br />CALGreen Code The Project will be subject to CALGreen requirements to provide <br />areas that serve the entire building and are identified for <br />depositing, storing, and collecting nonhazardous materials for <br />recycling (CALGreen Code Section 5.410.1). <br />Energy Use <br />Electricity/Natural Gas <br />Generation <br />Cap-and-Trade <br />Program <br />Electricity and natural gas usage associated with the Project will <br />be subject to the Cap-and-Trade Program. <br />The rules came into effect on January 1, 2013, applying to large <br />electric power plants and large industrial plants. In 2015, <br />importers and distributors of fossil fuels were added to the Cap- <br />and-Trade Program. Specifically, on January 1, 2015, cap-and- <br />trade compliance obligations were phased in for suppliers of <br />natural gas, reformulated gasoline blendstock for oxygenate <br />blending (RBOB), distillate fuel oils, and liquefied petroleum gas <br />that meet or exceed specified emissions thresholds. The <br />threshold that triggers a cap-and-trade compliance obligation for <br />a fuel supplier is 25,000 metric tons (MT) or more of CO2e <br />annually from the GHG emissions that would result from full <br />combustion or oxidation of quantities of fuels (including natural <br />gas, RBOB, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas, and <br />blended fuels that contain these fuels) imported and/or <br />delivered to California.
