Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.D-9 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project amendment schedule for Rule 4905 (Residential Furnaces) to allow more time for technology development. • On December 15, 2011, the EPA approved California's plan to attain the 1997 8- hour ozone NAAQS in the SJVAB. The approved plan consists of the SJVAPCD's 2007 ozone plan and the CARB 2007 State Strategy. The SJVAPCD regulates, permits, and inspects stationary sources of air pollution, while the State is responsible for emission standards and controlling actual tailpipe emissions from motor vehicles. For the Forward Landfill, the relevant rules and regulations include: • Rule 2201 —requires new and modified stationary sources of emissions to mitigate emissions using best available control technology and to offset emissions when above thresholds." • Rule 4102 Odors—establishes odor management practices and requirements to reduce odors from creating a nuisance off site. • Regulation VIII Dust—requires implementation of dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive dust"from creating a nuisance off site. Executive Order S-3-05 In 2005, in recognition of California's vulnerability to the effects of climate change, Governor Schwarzenegger established Executive Order S-3-05, which sets forth a series of target dates by which statewide emissions of GHGs would be progressively reduced, as follows: • By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; • By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels;and, • By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. -" Assembly Bill 32 In 2006, California passed the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 32 [AB 321;California Health and Safety Code Division 25.5, §38500 et seq.), which requires the CARB to design and implement emission limits, regulations, and other measures such that statewide GHG emissions will be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. In December 2007, CARB approved the 2020 emission limit of 427 million metric tons of CO2e of GHGs. The 2020 target of 427 million metric tons of CO2e requires the reduction of 169 million metric tons of CO2e, or approximately 30 percent, from the state's projected 2020 "business-as-usual" emissions of 596 million metric tons of CO2e. Also in December 2007, CARB adopted mandatory reporting and verification regulations pursuant to AB 32. The mandatory reporting regulations require reporting for certain types of facilities that make up the bulk of the stationary source emissions in California. Major facilities were defined as those that generate more than 25,000 metric tons/year of CO2e. Cement plants,oil refineries, electric-generating facilities/providers, cogeneration facilities,hydrogen plants, and other stationary combustion sources that emit more than 25,000 metric tons/year CO2e make up 94 percent of the point source CO2e emissions in California (CARB,2007).In 2011, the mandatory reporting rule was revised to match the "San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, httl2://www.valleyair.org/transi2ortation/`ceqa rules.htm 12 Solid airborne particulate matter emitted from any source other than a stack or chimney.
