CO2e. The 2017 Scoping Plan proposes various measures to achieve the 2030 target. Most of these are State measures, such as use of the cap-and-trade program, the Short- Lived Climate Pollutant Plan, and achievement of the 50% renewable sources of electricity in the Renewables Portfolio Standard. The updated Scoping Plan continues many existing programs such as low-carbon fuel standards, renewable energy, and methane reduction strategies, along with a proposed 20% reduction in GHG emissions from refineries. It also addresses for the first time GHG emissions from the natural and working lands of California, including the agriculture and forestry sectors (ARB 2017). The 2017 Scoping Plan is in the process of being updated. The County currently does not have a GHG emission reduction plan, also known as a Climate Action Plan. Policy PHS-6.2 of the County General Plan states that the County shall reduce community GHG emissions by 15% below 2005 levels by 2020 and shall strive to reduce GHG emissions by 40% and 80% below reduced 2020 levels by 2035 and 2050, respectively. These goals are consistent with State reduction goals. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures a, b) Project GHG Emissions and Consistency with GHG Reduction Plans. Estimates of GHG emissions of the project were developed using the CaIEEMod program (see Section 3.3, Air Quality). Table 3-4 presents the results of the CaIEEMod run. "Mitigated emissions" are the result of project compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, along with inclusion of project features that reduce GHG emissions. These include the following: • The density of residential development on the project site (4.8 dwelling units per acre). • The project site is approximately 0.25 miles from a transit stop. • The project site is approximately 3.25 miles from downtown Stockton. • The project would add sidewalks to the site. • SB X7-7, enacted in 2009, sets an overall goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20% by December 31, 2020. The California Green Building Code mandates a 20%reduction in indoor water use. • AB 341 establishes the goal of diverting 75% of California's waste stream from landfills by 2020. As shown in Table 3-4, mitigated operational GHG emissions would be approximately 7.1% less than under business-as-usual (unmitigated) conditions. Construction GHG emissions would remain essentially unchanged. Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-36 May 2022
