4.5 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 <br />14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.5-35 <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 />CPUC publicly owned electric utilities and CEC duly established <br />policies and procedures for the purchase of electricity from <br />eligible combined heat and power systems. <br />CEC guidelines require combined heat and power systems to be <br />designed to reduce waste energy; have a minimum efficiency of <br />60%; have NOx emissions of no more than 0.07 pounds per <br />megawatt-hour; be sized to meet eligible customer generation <br />thermal load; operate continuously in a manner that meets <br />expected thermal load and optimizes efficient use of waste heat; <br />and be cost effective, technologically feasible, and <br />environmentally beneficial. <br />Vehicular/Mobile Sources <br />General SB 375 and <br />SJCOG RTP/SCS <br />The Project complies with, and is subject to, the SJCOG adopted <br />RTP/SCS in 2018. <br />Fuel Low Carbon Fuel <br />Standard (LCFS)/ <br />EO S-01-07 <br />Auto trips associated with the Project will be subject to the Low <br />Carbon Fuel Standard (EO S-01-07), which required a 10% or <br />greater reduction in the average fuel carbon intensity by 2020 <br />with a 2010 baseline for transportation fuels in California <br />regulated by CARB. The program establishes a strong framework <br />to promote the low carbon fuel adoption necessary to achieve <br />the Governor’s 2030 and 2050 GHG goals. <br />Cap-and-Trade <br />Program <br />Use of gasoline associated with the Project will be subject to the <br />Cap-and-Trade Program. The rules came into effect on January 1, <br />2013, applying to large electric power plants and large industrial <br />plants. In 2015, importers and distributors of fossil fuels were <br />added to the Cap-and-Trade Program in the second phase. <br />Specifically, on January 1, 2015, cap-and-trade compliance <br />obligations were phased in for suppliers of natural gas, RBOB, <br />distillate fuel oils, and liquefied petroleum gas that meet or <br />exceed specified emissions thresholds. The threshold that <br />triggers a cap-and-trade compliance obligation for a fuel supplier <br />is 25,000 MT or more of CO2e annually from the GHG emissions <br />that would result from full combustion or oxidation of quantities <br />of fuels (including natural gas, RBOB, distillate fuel oil, liquefied <br />petroleum gas, and blended fuels that contain these fuels) <br />imported and/or delivered to California. <br />Automotive <br />Refrigerants <br />CARB Regulation <br />for Small <br />Containers of <br />Automotive <br />Refrigerant <br />Vehicles associated with the Project will be subject to CARB’s <br />Regulation for Small Containers of Automotive Refrigerant (CCR, <br />Title 17, Division 3, Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, Article 4, <br />Subarticle 5, Section 95360 et seq.). The regulation applies to <br />the sale, use, and disposal of small containers of automotive <br />refrigerant with a GWP greater than 150. The regulation achieves <br />emission reductions through implementation of four <br />requirements: use of a self-sealing valve on the container, <br />improved labeling instructions, a deposit and recycling program <br />for small containers, and an education program that emphasizes <br />best practices for vehicle recharging. This regulation went into
