4.5 – Greenhouse Gas Emissions Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.5-38 Table 4.5-5. Applicable Greenhouse Gas–Related Laws and Regulations Project Component Applicable Laws/ Regulations Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Required for Project EO B-37-16 Water use associated with the Project will be subject to Emergency EO B-37-16, issued May 9, 2016, which directed the State Water Resources Control Board to adjust emergency water conservation regulations through the end of January 2017 to reflect differing water supply conditions across the state. The Water Board also developed a proposal to achieve a mandatory reduction of potable urban water usage that builds off the mandatory 25% reduction called for in EO B-29-15. The Water Board and Department of Water Resources will develop new, permanent water use targets to which the Project will be subject. The Water Board will permanently prohibit water-wasting practices, such as hosing off sidewalks, driveways, and other hardscapes; washing automobiles with hoses not equipped with a shut-off nozzle; using non-recirculated water in a fountain or other decorative water feature; watering lawns in a manner that causes runoff, or within 48 hours after measurable precipitation; and irrigating ornamental turf on public street medians. EO B-40-17 EO B-40-17 lifted the drought emergency in all California counties except Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Tuolumne. It also rescinds EO B-29-15, but expressly states that EO B-37-16 remains in effect and directs the State Water Resources Control Board to continue development of permanent prohibitions on wasteful water use to which the Project will be subject. SB X7-7 Water provided to the Project will be affected by SB X7-7’s requirements for water suppliers. SB X7-7, or the Water Conservation Act of 2009, requires all water suppliers to increase water use efficiency. It also requires, among other things, that the Department of Water Resources, in consultation with other state agencies, develop a single standardized water use reporting form, which would be used by both urban and agricultural water agencies. CALGreen Code The Project is subject to CALGreen’s water efficiency standards, including a required 20% mandatory reduction in indoor water use (CALGreen Code, Division 4.3). California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.10, Sections 10910– 10915. Development and approval of the Project requires the development of a Project-specific Water Supply Assessment. Cap-and-Trade Program The Project proposes utilization of a private well for water and an on-site septic system for sewage disposal. Thus, the Cap-and- Trade Program does not apply to the Project. California RPS (SB X1-2, SB 350, SB 100) Electricity usage associated with Project water and wastewater supply, treatment, and distribution will be required to comply with RPS set by SB X1-2, SB 350, and SB 100.
