MADAM CHAIR- FOR LETTING ME
GIVE ME THE COURTESY TO GO
FIRST I APPRECIATE IT A GREAT
DEAL SO MADAM CHAIR COLLEAGUES
I RISE TO PRESENT SB NINE NINE
FIVE WHICH EXTENDS THE SUNSET
OF EXISTING CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT OR
SEQUESTERING MINING PROVISIONS
AND ENABLE SMALL SCALE HOUSING
PROJECTS TO BENEFIT FROM THE
STREAMLINING AS WE- THAT'S BEEN.
NINE FIVE AS PART THE WORK DONE
ON A HOUSING PRODUCTION PACKAGE
OF BILLS TO ADDRESS THE
CRITICAL NEED FOR HOUSING
SUPPLY. AND PRODUCTION IN OUR
STATE. I WANT TO THANK THE
GROUP OF LEAD SENATORS ARE
SENATORS MCGUIRE WHO IS. WITH
ME TODAY AND WILL BE COMMENTING
AND- HERE FOR QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS AS THE LEADER OF THE
GROUP. ALONG WITH SENATORS
CABALLERO DIRECTED TO SORROW.
TO ROSS SO- GONZALEZ HILL ROTH
AND RUBIO THEY STEPPED UP TO
LEAD THE DISCUSSION ON THE
ISSUE AND I APPRECIATE THAT. I
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE WORK OF YOU MADAM CHAIR-
YOUR ASSEMBLY COLLEAGUES
INCLUDING MR CHIU ASSEMBLY
HOUSING CHAIR REGARDING THE
LEGISLATION THE ASSEMBLY HAS
PUT FORWARD TO ADDRESS OUR
HOUSING SHORTAGE. SB NINE NINE
FIVE IS A KEY PART OF THIS
PACKAGE OF BILLS. IN THAT IT
ENSURE SMALL SCALE HOUSING
PROJECTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AB
NINE HUNDRED PROGRAM RELIEF.
AND IT PUTS IN PLACE TOOLS FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONDUCT-MORE EFFICIENT SEQUEL REVIEWS.
BY UTILIZING THE MASTER AND
FOCUSED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT. FOR THE POLICY WALKS IN
THE ROOM TO ME I ARE IN THE FEI
ARE PROCESS. FIRST I WANT TO.
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS THAT DO THE
FOLLOWING. INCORPORATE A
STATUTORY DEFINITION OF HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR THE
PURPOSES OF THE NEW
STREAMLINING PROVISIONS FOR
HOUSING PROJECTS BETWEEN
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARSAND A
HUNDRED MILLION. IT CLAY IF.
LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THE NEW
STANDARDS IN THE BILL WILL
APPLY PROSPECTIVELY TO NEW
PROJECTS AT OR ABOVE THE ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
THRESHOLD. BUT RETAIN THE
CURRENT BILL PROVISIONS FOR THE
HOUSING PROJECTS BELOW THE
THRESHOLD. AND ABOVE FIFTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS. FURTHER TO
ADDRESS GREENHOUSE GAS
MITIGATION ISSUES THE FIRST
PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO MITIGATION
THAT PROVIDES DIRECT ONSITE
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS. IF THAT
IS NOT FEASIBLE MITIGATION MUST
PROVIDE LOCALIZED ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS IN CALIFORNIA. IT ALL
IF OFFSETS ARE USE THE FIRST
PRIORITY FOR OFFSETS WOULD BE
ONES THAT AR ON SITE. OR IN
THE SAME COMMUNITY AS THE
PROPOSED PROJECT IF THAT IS NOT
FEASIBLE OFFSETS MUST BE IN
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES OR THE
OFFSETS MUST PROVIDE LOCALIZED
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS IN
CALIFORNIA. FURTHER AMENDMENTS
CLARIFY THAT IF THE COMMUNITY
IN WHICH THE PROJECT IS LOCATED
HAS AN INCLUSIONARY ZONING
ORDINANCE. THAT ORDINANCE WOULD
PREVAIL AND GOVERN THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING STANDARD
REQUIRED IN THE BILL. FURTHER
pEXPRESSLY STATING THE SEQUEL
ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE FOR
PROJECTS WILL BE THE SAME AS
UNDER SEQUEL GUIDELINES AS THEY
EXIST TODAY. FURTHER ADDS
LANGUAGE TO CLARIFY THAT BOTH
SUPERIOR AND APPELLATE COURT
COSTS WILL BE PAID BY THE
APPLICANT. AND I WANT TO THANK
THE CHAIR IN HER INCREDIBLE
COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING WITH
MY OFFICE TO STRENGTHEN THE
BILL WHILE AT THE SAME TIME
PRESERVING. THE AB NINE HUNDRED
PROGRAM. AS A MANY- RECALL IN
TWENTY ELEVEN THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED IN THE GOVERNOR SIGNED
AB NINE HUNDRED THAT
ESTABLISHED. A NEW PROCESS
UNDER SEQUEL TO STREAMLINE
COULD MEAN RECORD PAPERWORK. AN
EXPEDITED LEGAL CHALLENGES FOR
LARGE MULTI BENEFIT HOUSING
CLEAN ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING
PROJECTS THAT HAVE A CAPITAL
INVESTMENT OF OVER A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. AB NINE
HUNDRED SUNSETS ON JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY ONE SO THIS
BILL EXTENDS AB NINE HUNDRED
UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY FIVE AND IT
EXPERIENCE IT SO THAT IT WOULD
APPLY TO MUCH SMALLER HOUSING
PROJECTS. AND THIS IS REALLY SO
THAT ALL PARTS OF CALIFORNIA
HAVE ACCESS TO THE BENEFITS OF
THIS TOOL NOT JUST THE LARGER
CITIES BUT RURAL COMMUNITIES AS
WELL. FOR CURRENT AB NINE
HUNDRED LAW NOW SAYS ONLY
PROJECTS OF A HUNDRED MILLION
AS I SAID. SB NINE NINE FIVE
LOWERED THAT THRESHOLD TO
FIFTEEN MILLION SO THAT THOSE
SMALLER HOUSING PROJECTS
QUALIFY. LIKEWISE THE BILL
REQUIRES. THAT HOUSING PROJECTS
HAVE AT LEAST 15% AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. THAT'S THE HIGHEST
PERCENTAGE REQUIRED IN STATE
LAW TODAY. AND TODAY AB NINE
HUNDRED HAS RESULTED IN AT
LEAST FOURTEEN SEPARATE MEGA
PROJECTS REPRESENTING ABOUT TWO
BILLION DOLLARS IN INVESTMENT
OUR STATE. ACCORDING TO THE
INFORMATION FROM THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE OF PLANNING RESEARCH AND
THE SENATE OFFICE OF RESEARCH.
THESE PROJECTS ARE PROVIDED
OVER TEN THOUSAND NEW HOUSING
UNITS. CREATED THOUSANDS OF NEW
HIGH WAGE CONSTRUCTION AND
PERMANENT JOBS. I UNDERSTAND
THAT STAKEHOLDERS WOULD LIKE TO
MODIFY THIS PROGRAM TO ENACT
WHAT THEY ARGUE ARE NECESSARY
ENVIRONMENTAL UPDATES I BELIEVE
AMENDMENTS WERE. DAY ARE STEP
IN THAT DIRECTION WHILE
PRESERVING THE IMPORTANT
BENEFITS OF THE EXISTING AB
NINE HUNDRED PROGRAM. I THINK
MOST OF YOU KNOW- BALANCING THE
INTERESTS OF DEVELOPERS THE
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY THE
LABOR COMMUNITY AND OTHERS.
ISN'T EASY BUT AB NINE HUNDRED
AND THE PROGRAM HAS PROVEN TO
BE SUCCESSFUL WHILE STILL
PROVERBIAL. REVIEW I MEAN IN
FACT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT-
MOST OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE HAD
TO CLEAR THE HURDLE OF THE
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD
WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE THE
OFFICE OF PLANNING RESEARCH. SO
CAN BE LOOKED AT THAT THERE IS
A HIGH HURDLE AS IT SHOULD BE
THAT THESE PROJECTS HAVE TO
MEET IN ORDER TO BE SUPPORTED I
TAKE IT IN ADDITION ADDING TO
HOUSING PROJECTS TO THIS
PROGRAM WILL GIVE US ANOTHER
TOOL TO TACKLE OUR STATES LONG
STANDING HOUSING PRODUCTION
DEFICIT. EARLIER THIS YEAR AS I
CLOSE. I WOULD DIE. POINT OUT
THAT I MADE A PLEDGE THAT THERE
WOULD BE HOUSING PRODUCTION
COMING OUT OF OUR HOUSE I KNOW
IT'S A HUGE CONCERN IN THIS
HOUSE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN OUR
STATE PRIOR TO CODED AND SO
REMAINS. IS THE HOUSING ISSUE.
WE HAVE LESS MONEY TO PUT
FORWARD WHICH ALL OF US WERE
CONSIDERING PRE MARCH AND KOBE
ED IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO PUT FORWARD. TO HELP ON
THE HOUSING PRODUCTION AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SIDE. THIS
WILL BE A TOOL. SB NINE NINE
FIVE IS A KEY PART IN
FULFILLING THIS PLEDGE TO
SPURRING PRODUCTION IN
CALIFORNIA. SO I LOOK FORWARD
MISTER REQUIRE. CLOSE FOR TO

QUESTIONS FOR THE BILL. SO
WITHOUT ANY COMMITTEE MEMBER
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FOR SENATOR MCGUIRE OR ANY OF
THE WITNESSES. YES MISTER
MURATSUCHI. THANK YOU CENTER
REQUIRE FOR US BEING HERE TO.
ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
THIS BILL FIRST OF ALL- WAS IT
WAS AN AMENDMENT TAKEN TO
DEFINE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE
PROJECT THAT HAS TO BE DEVOTED
TO HOUSING. WE DON'T HAVE A
SPECIFIC AMENDMENT REGARDING
THE ISSUE OF HOUSING WE'RE
SAYING THAT ANY HOUSING IS
BUILT AT LEAST WITHIN THE-
UNDER- 99515% WOULD BE
AFFORDABLE BUT WE DON'T HAVE A
SPECIFIC. IF SB THIRTY FIVE X.
IN- IT'S A TWO THIRDS ONE THIRD
MIX- IN THAT IS TWO THIRDS-
HOUSING WINTER COMMERCIL BUT
IF THERE IS ANY SB THIRTY FIVE
PROVISION THAT WOULD KICK IN
REGARDS TO MONEY. AND COULD YOU
REMIND ME. SO THE SB THIRTY
FIVE PROVISION THAT WAS THE-
THE SCOTT WINNER BILL FROM A
COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT. IT'S SO
RIGHT NOW IT IT IS JUST THE
FIFTEEN FOR. 15% AFFORDABLE I'M
IN SO WILL TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF
LIKE A AND IF WE'RE LOOKING AT
A LARGE ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR PROJECT ULTIMATELY IT'S
GOING TO BE UP TO THAT- WHETHER
TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OR CITY
COUNCIL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE
WHAT THE MIX OF COMMERCIAL
HOUSING MAY BE. ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHANGES IN REGARDS TO
THE HOUSING COMPONENT THIS
ISSUE IS THAT WE'RE NOW GOING
TO SAY THAT THERE'S GONNA BE
15% AFFORDABLE COMPONENT. NOW I
WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE
CHAIRWOMAN BECAUSE THE
CHAIRWOMAN IS SAYING- ON HE
HOUSING PIECE. IS THAT- THE
INCLUSIONARY ZONING ORDINANCE
WOULD- TRUMP THE 15% AFFORDABLE
SO WE ALSO RESPECT THE
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT THAT WAS PROVIDED BY
GERMAN FRIEDMAN IN INDIA IT
REALLY MAKES SENSE TO ALLOW
THAT FOR THAT LOCAL CONTROL
ESPECIALLY. IF IT'S A STRONGER
PROVISION- ABOVE AND BEYOND THE
15% BUT WHAT WOULD TO. PREVENT
LIKE SAY A PROJECT THAT THE
PROPOSES TO YOU KNOW WHAT 95%
COMMERCIAL AND 5% HOUSING- TO
QUALIFY A 5% OF THE HOUSING IS
DEVOTED TO IT MEETS THE
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
REQUIREMENT. WELL NO THAT THE
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
REQUIREMENT WOULD BE THAT
THAT'S JUST GONNA BE BASED ON
WHATEVER THE LOCAL HATS- SO
THAT'S THAT'S STRICTLY BASED
OFF OF LOCAL SO IF THERE IS IN
PLEASE SHERMAN PUSH BACK ON IF
YOU THINK COMING CORRECT ON
THIS. SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING
WITHIN THIS BILL NOW. WE'VE
CREATED A SECOND CATEGORY SO
FIRST AND FOREMOST WE HAVE THE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR CATEGORY
FOR THOSE LARGE- PROJECTS LIKE
WE SEEN WITH. STADIUMS SO-
UNDER THESE PROJECTS WHAT WE'VE
SEEN IS THAT THERE BEEN TEN
THOUSAND HOUSING UNITS SINCE AB
NINE HUNDRED IS ADOPTED TEN
THOUSAND HOUSING UNITS HAVE
EITHER BEEN BUILT. INDOOR
APPROVED OR GETTING BUILT NOW
IN THOSE THREE CATEGORIES
NUMBER ONE- THE SECOND A NEW
CATEGORY THAT WE'RE ADDING IS
WE'RE ACTUALLY ADDING THE SAME
JUDICIAL REVIEW SHOT CLOCK OF
THAT TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY DAYS.
FOR HOUSING PRICE. AT MILLION
DOLLARS GROSS COSTS OR MORE. IN
WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE 15%
OF THE ENTIRE STOCK. AS
AFFORDABLE- AND- IF THERE'S
INCLUDE YOUR HOUSING- ZONING
ORDINANCE. WHETHER IT'S LA OR
SMALL COMMUNITIES WELL. THAT
WOULD BUT IF IT'S- MORE
AGGRESSIVE NOW I DON'T
UNDERSTAND ALL THAT BUT THAT
MIGHT. MY CONCERN IS THAT- THIS
CAN BE- AMENDED TOUTED AS A
HOUSING PRODUCTION BILL YEAH
BUT IF THIS IS. YOU KNOW ONE
GIANT LOOPHOLE TO. TO GET- 95%
COMMERCIAL PROJECT WITH A- VERY
SMALL PERCENTAGE SHOULD DEVOTE
THE HOUSING- THAT'S THE THAT'S
THE SB THIRTY FIVE. WILL
MEETING S. B. FIVE HUNDRED
THIRTY THIRTY FIVE THE
PROVISION THERE IS IF YOU HAVE
TO RESEARCH HOW. DOES TO THIRTY
HOUSING ONE. AT COMMERCIAL AND-
WILL BE ALLOWED TO. I THANK YOU
FOR THE CLARIFICATION. THE
SECOND IS HOW. A IN TERMS OF
THE 15% INCLUSIONARY- HOUSE
HAVE FORMAL TO FIND. WE JUST
SAY FOR HOUSING SO THAT WOULD
BE WITHIN OUR THREE CATEGORIES
OF MIND A MODERATE LOW AND VERY
LOW. BUT WE DO NOT DISTINGUISH-
WHICH CATEGORY WOULD BE THAT
WOULD RECEIVE PREFERENCE WITHIN
NINE NINE FIVE. SO. THE
MODERATE. YEAH THE MODERATE TO
INCOME- WOULD QUALIFY FOR YEAH
MADRE YEAH WITHIN THOSE THREE
CATEGORIES AND I THINK THAT'S
THE OTHER IMPORTANT PIECE ABOUT
THIS IT WOULD ALLOW SOME
FLEXIBILITY FOR THOSE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS RIGHT- DEALING WITH
THAT 15% TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A
LOOK AT WHATEVER THEIR NUMBERS
MAY BE WHERE THEY NEED SHORT
AND ALLOW THEM TO BE ABLE TO-
WORK THAT 15% DEPENDING ON
WHERE THE GREATEST NEED IS.
RELATED TO AFFORDABLE OKAY I
MEAN I CAN APPRECIATE THAT BUT
I THINK A- CENTER YOU YOU HAVE
A- COMMUNITIES ARE SIMILAR TO
MY COMMUNITIES WHERE. MY
COMMUNITIES THEY'RE THEY'RE
COMPLAINING THAT THE- THAT THE
THAT THE STATE IS TALKING ABOUT
THE- BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND ALL THEY SEE IS- A
LUXURY HOUSING BEING BUILT. ON
AND- YOU KNOW WHY MODERATE TO
MODERATELY AFFORDABLE IS BETTER
THAN LUXURY. THE CONCERN IS
THAT. YOU KNOW THESE BILLS THAT
ARE BEING TOUTED AS AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SOLUTIONS ARE NOT. MORE
DIRECTLY- AND TO A GREATER
EXTENT- FOCUSING ON THE LOW AND
VERY LOW INCOME- SITES I JUST
WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT
THINKING WHO DOES HAVE A VERY I
THINK YOU'RE YOU'RE CORRECT
WITH THAT IN REGARDS TO THIS
POINT IS THAT. WHEN WE TAKE A
LOOK AT- ARE INCREDIBLE
CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE ACROSS
THE STATE- EIGHT EXISTED PRIOR
TO THE CALL THE CRISIS IN IT IS
MORE EXASPERATED NOW IS IN
REGARDS TO THE ARE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING STOCK. WHAT I'LL SAY
IS- THAT THERE'S A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN REGARD TO
ADDING THAT 50% AFFORDABLE INTO
THIS MIX- THIS- WE HAVE NEVER
TOUTED THIS IS A 1100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BILL BUT-
THIS YOU WILL SEE HOUSING
PRODUCTION AS PART OF THIS BILL
I DIDN'T SEE NINE. WAS FOR.
PASS IT WAS PASS BY THE STATE.
APPROXIMATELY TEN TO TWO
HUNDRED UNITS HAVE EITHER BEEN
BUILT. PERMITTED AND OR UNDER
CONSTRUCTION- AND NOW WHAT
WE'RE SAYING IS WE NEED TO BE A
STRENGTH IN THIS- BY ADDING IT
CAN PERCENT OF- AFFORDABLE
COMPONENT. BUT I DO HEAR YOU
CENTER MURATSUCHI YOU'RE
ACTUALLY RIGHT IN REGARDS TO
THE CRISIS. THANK YOU THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR YOUR ACCOUNT. LAST
QUESTION IS- IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT. THAT THE
PRO TEM IS NOT ACCEPTING THE
PROPOSED COMMITTEE AMENDMENT AS
IT RELATES TO THE VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED REDUCTION- IF THAT IS
CORRECT YOU WILL. EXPLAIN WHY.
LOOK I THINK THAT HERE'S WHERE
WE ENDED UP I THINK WE THROUGH
THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE
CHAIRWOMAN- COMMITTEE STAFF
INTO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PRO
TEAM I THINK THAT- WE HAVE- A
BILL THAT IS MUCH MORE FOCUS ON
METRICS RELATED TO I. GHG.
REDUCTIONS AND- MISTER SOLOMON
YOU ARE CORRECT THAT WOULD AT
THIS POINT IN TIME THAT WE ARE
NOT. MOVING FORWARD ON THAT AND
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WE
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT I THINK ON
AB EIGHT NINE HUNDRED AND NOW
SB NINE NINE FIVE. WE NEED TO
BE ABLE TO ADVANCE BALANCING
ACT- AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN
FRONT OF YOU TODAY THANKS TO
THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN-
PROTEIN MACHEN'S AS WELL AS THE
CHAIRWOMAN. IS A BILL THAT-
BRINGS FORWARD A MORE
AGGRESSIVE. A MORE AGGRESSIVE
APPROACH WHEN IT COMES TO-
WAYNE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
OF THESE POTENTIAL PROJECTS.
AND LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL
ECONOMIC REALITY THAT WE'RE IN
NOW OF TRYING TO BE ABLE TO
GET- BOTH COMMERCIAL. RETAIL AS
WELL AS HOUSING BILLS- IN FOLKS
HIRED- AND THAT'S THE OTHER
REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS
BILL. IS THAT- IT IS FOCUSING
ON GETTING FOLKS CONNECTED TO
FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES- IN
WHAT WE KNOW IS SINCE THIS AB
NINE HUNDRED. APPROXIMATELY TEN
THOUSAND JOBS BEEN CREATED ON
THESE PROJECTS- BUT- AND THE
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE. WHEN IT
COMES TO THE ISSUE OF. F. A
STRIP SEAT BASED IN. THANKS TO
AGREEMENT I'D IS STRUCK TODAY
WE ENHANCED WHEN IT COMESTO
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
MITIGATION SO FOR EXAMPLE THE
TOP PRIORITY WHEN IT COMES TO
MITIGATION WILL THOSE
MEDICATIONS. SIDE THEN A FEW.
OF THE MANY CONTENT SITE WILL
BE NEXT YEAR AND COMMUNITIES
AND IF YOU CAN DO THAT IT WOULD
BE WITH THE STATE OKAY IN THE
OTHER SICKENING. PIECES ON THE
HOUSING. WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW.
STANDARDS AGAIN. MUCH IMPROVED
FROM THE ORIGINAL AB NINE
HUNDRED- YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE
GONNA CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS AND OTHER ISSUES.
CERTAINLY I MEAN I APPRECIATE
TO. YOU KNOW THAT THAT- WE HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO RAISE THE
STANDARDS ON- IN THE
ENVIRONMENTAL. CONSIDERATIONS
SINCE AB NINE HUNDRED WAS WAS
ORIGINALLY PASSED HI I JUST
WANTED TO ASK ONE LAST. THE
QUESTION WHICH IS SAID TO BE
ON. THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
CITES A TWENTY NINETEENTH
SENATE OFFICE OF RESEARCH
REPORT- THAT. THAT TALKS ABOUT
THE PROBLEMS OF REVIEWS OF PAST
AB NINE HUNDRED PROJECTS-
DISCUSSES DISCUSSES THE OF A
PROBLEMS IN TERMS OF HOW IT
LOOKS LIKE. THE GHG EMISSION
REDUCTIONS HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO
MANIPULATE MANIPULATION- AND
THAT- YOU KNOW YOUR OWN SENATE
ALSO RESEARCH ACTUALLY
RECOMMENDS THE ELIMINATION OF
THE USE OF GAC BASELINES AT TO
PROVIDE MORE ROBUST- LOCAL
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS WITH ONE
OF THE OPTIONS BEING
RECOMMENDED THE VEHICLE VEHICLE
MILES TRAVELED TO THAT
THRESHOLD- COULD YOU COULD YOU-
RESPOND TO WHY THIS THIS BILL
IS NOT. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT- THE
SENATE OFFICE OF RESEARCH-
RECOMMENDED 100% SO I THINK ON
THE ISSUE OF VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED- I THINK THAT WE
ACTUALLY ARE SEEN- IMPROVEMENTS
AND ENHANCEMENTS UNDER SENATE
BILL SEVEN FORTY THREE- IN AS
YOU ALL KNOW THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING RESEARCH. HAS ALSO
BEEN FOCUS ON THE VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED ON THE ISSUE OF THE
STUDY- I WILL GO BACK TO MR
SOMEONE IN IN READ- THE STUDY I
HAVE NOT READ JUST BE VERY
CANDID WITH YOU THE ENTIRE
STUDY. I THINK THAT IS CRITICAL.
WHAT IS IN FRONT OF TODAY IS
MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT AB
NINE HUNDRED WAS- A FEW YEARS
AGO. AND IT'S THANKS TO THE
HARD WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE- IS
WELL AS THE COMMITMENT AND
LEADERSHIP APPROACH. AMERICANS
AGAIN WERE MOVING NEEDLE SO. ON
CREATING A NEW BASELINE WHEN IT
COMES TO THOSE SECRET STANDARDS
TO THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED
ENHANCED- ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS
WHEN IT COMES TO GHG MITIGATION
WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL-
AND WE ARE SUBJECTING HIGHER
SECRET STANDARDS TO HOUSING
PROJECTS AS WELL. BUT THIS IS
AN ISSUE THAT- WE'RE GONNA NEED
TO CONTINUE TO TACKLE- YOU KNOW
THAT THE PROTEIN IS ONE OF THE
LEADING VIRAL VOICES- AS WELL
AS VOICES FOR. HOUSING IN THIS
LEGISLATURE- AND THIS MOVES US
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION KNOWING
THAT WE NEED TO DO MUCH MORE
WORK WHEN IT COMES TO-
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BOTH
THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY AS WELL
AS THE GOVERNOR TO CONTINUE.
ACCENT NO THANK YOU SO MUCH
CENTER AND REALLY GRATEFUL FOR
YOUR COMMENTS. IN LEADERSHIP
ARE TRULY. OTHER COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. NO ONE ELSE- SO I WILL
I CLOSE BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE I
DO APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS
TO MEET WITH ME YESTERDAY AND
THE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU AND
THE PRO TEM- AND THE HARD WORK
OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF ON THIS
BILL IT'S A COMPLICATED POLICY-
AND I THINK THAT THE BILL DOES
GO A LONG WAY ADDRESSING SOME
OF THE LOOPHOLES AND FIXES AN
OLD AB NINE HUNDRED. AND TO TRY
TO STRIKE THE BALANCE OF MAKING
SURE THAT THERE IS A- BENEFIT
FOR PROJECTS THAT DEMONSTRATE
REAL ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
AND WELL I THINK THAT THE-
MEMONS. GOAL OF A LONG WAY AND
I KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY ALIGNED
IN TERMS OF THE GOALS THAT WE
HAVE I DO THINK THAT THERE'S
MORE WORK TO BE DONE WITH THE
DRAFTING AND- MAKING SURE THAT.
THE DETAILS ARE ARE REALLY IN
THE BILL SO THAT. THEY GIVE THE
OF CERTAINTY TO COMMUNITIES
THAT. DEVELOPERS CAN TAKE
ADVANTAGE. OF THE TRUNCATED
PROCESS. TO SHORT CHANGE- WITH
THE VERY LARGE PROJECTS- I
REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT. WHAT I
SEE IS A LITTLE BIT OF
VAGUENESS WITH THE WORDS LIKE
USABLE BEST EFFORTS AND I WANT
TO MAKE SURE AS WE GO FORWARD.
THAT THERE'S REALLY A WAY TO
MAKE SURE THAT DEVELOPERS
CHOOSE THAT MITIGATION FOR
INSTANCE ONSITE REAL WHEN
FEASIBLE. AND CONCERNED ABOUT
WHO DECIDES WHAT'S FEASIBLE

PUBLIC REVIEW AND FEEDBACK
PROPERTIES REQUIRED FOR THE
ADOPTION. OF NEW OR MODIFIED
RULES. AND IN THE CASE OF SB
SEVEN FIVE SEVEN THE PROPOSAL I
WON TWENTY TWENTY ONE DEADLINE
FOR ENACTING RULES SIMPLY IS
NOT ACHIEVABLE THE IMPOSITION
OF A TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
DAY TIMELINE FOR REVIEW OF THE
TWENTY EIGHT BY TWENTY EIGHT
HELLER PROJECT. ON TOP OF
EXISTING CALENDAR PREFERENCES
THAT EXISTENCE EQUAL CASES IS
UNREALISTICALLY SHORT- FOR THAT
TRIAL COURT IN LOS ANGELES TO
ADDRESS ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT
EACH OF THE CASES IS LIKELY TO
PREVENT. ESPECIALLY RELATED TO
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS. EVEN WITH THE
LANGUAGE THAT REFERENCES TO THE
EXTENT FEASIBLE. AND IN FACT-THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY
THE TIME FRAME IS FROM THE VERY
OUTSET NOT YOU THE BALL. THE
FIRST IS THAT HE COULD CASES
ARE INHERENTLY TIME CONSUMING
IN MOST CASES THERE ARE PARTIES
ON EITHER SIDE MANY. ARE FOR
DELAY OR CAN YOU IN THIS EVEN
IN THOSE. WHERE THAT AND- TO

AND NON D. COULD YOU DO REVIEW
OR APPEALED THE MIDST OF THE
CASES BOTH CASES WILL REQUIRE A
STAY AT THE INITIAL. AND THEN
TO MAKE THE TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY
DATE TIMELINE ON FEASIBLE. AND
THEN FINALLY GIVEN THE CURRENT
CIRCUMSTANCE THE PANDEMIC THE

LEGISLATURE TO ANTICIPATED A
SIGNIFICANT PANDEMIC WITH MEDIC
GEN. RELATED TO UNLAWFUL.

THERE WAS A CONCERN THAT'S
THERE WAS PROP IN THE LAST BILL

SUPPOSE THE BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE LAST ON THIS ONE IS
THAT. WERE REALLY THERE ARE
VRY FEW PROJECTS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS
BILL IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF
THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS-
THEY'RE BEING YOU KNOW CARRIED
OUT BY PUBLIC AGENCIES THAT
HAVE YEAH THAT IS WHOSE
PROCESSES ARE FULLY. BEEN TO
THE PUBLIC INVENTED AND YOU
KNOW IT AND THEY HAVE TO GO

ENGAGEMENT ROCESS- SO YOU KNOW
THESE ARE NOT PROJECTS THAT ARE
ARE. THEY STILL TO GO THROUGH A
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AS
PART OF THIS BILL BUT BUT WE'RE
NOT TAUGHT THIS BILL IS NOT
GOING TO. CREATE A WHOLE NEW
SLEW OF EXPEDITED REVIEW
PROJECTS AND WE'RE WE'RE- WE'RE

FIFTEEN THAT WILL BE COVERED
UNDER THE PARAMETERS OF THIS
BILL. SO I APPRECIATE THE

CHAIR MEMBERS MY. MY
TRANSMITTING HERE YES YOU ARE
COULD VERY WELL GOOD MORNING
EVERYBODY THANK YOU FOR LETTING
ME PRESENTES BE THIRTEEN OH
ONE. I'D LIKE TO GIVE SPECIAL
THANKS TO YOU MISTER WOMAN FOR
AND OF COURSE YOUR STAFF FOR
THE NORMANS HELP IN HELPING US
TO IRON OUT. OF THIS BILL TO A
VERY IMPORTANT BILL FOR THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA- FIRST OF
ALL I'D LIKE TO STATE THAT I
WILL BE ACCEPTING.THE
AMENDMENTS OUTLINED IN THE
COMMITTEE'S ANALYSIS THIS BILL
WILL PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED RELIEF.
A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN
PLAGUED BY. POLLUTION AND OF
RAW SEWAGE FLOWS THAT COME INTO
NOT ONLY IS COMMUNITY SUPPORTED
TO THE OCEAN OF COURSE AFFECT
SO MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES AND
CITIES AROUND THE COAST OF SAN
DIEGO ON AN AVERAGE ABOUT FIVE
HUNDRED GALLONS OF SEWAGE FLOW
FROM MEXICO INTO THE QUAN A
RIVER VALLEY TO INACTION AND
RAM PROBLEMS AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL HERE IN THE US AND THE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN I OFFERED SB FIVE OH
SEVEN WHICH AUTHORIZES ANNUAL
COUNTY TO CONDUCT A NEEDS
ASSESSMENT- ON ON THE CUENTA
RIVER VALLEY THAT REPORT WAS
RECENTLY RELEASED AND INCLUDES
A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
IDENTIFYING TWENTY SEVEN
PROJECTS WHICH WILL GREATLY
REDUCE IMPACTS- TO THE RIVER
VALLEY. FROM TRANS BOUNDARY
FLOWS BASED ON STUDY- BASED ON
THIS STUDY USMC RECENTLY
ALLOCATED THREE HUNDRED
MILLION. THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE TIJUANA RIVER
VALLEY- THE PROJECT HOWEVER I
HAS IDENTIFIED THAT IN ORDER TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEMS WE NEED. A
FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION
DOLLARS DIVERTER THAT WILL
CAPTURE HUNDRED SIXTY THREE
MILLION GALLONS OF RAW SEWAGE
PER DAY. THIS WILL ESSENTIALLY
STOP POLLUTION AFTER AFTER
ALMOST FORTY YEARS BUT-
UNFORTUNATELY ONLY PARTIALLY.
SO WHILE WE HAVE SOME RESOURCES
IT'S NOT ENOUGH AND IN ORDER
FOR US TO. DO THIS SUCCESSFULLY
WE REALLY HAVE TO GO BEYOND
WHAT A ONE SINGLE PROJECT CAN
ACCOMPLISH AND I'M WORKING VERY
HARD TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
COUNTRY OF MEXICO AND WITH THE
STATE ABOUT CALIFORNIA. AND ALL
THE OFFICIAL BUT HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THE SEWAGE TREATMENT. OUR
SYSTEM AT THE QUANAH TO SEE
WHAT ELSE THAT WE CAN DO THAT-
IS MORE FEASIBLE. WELL WE CAN
WORK TOGETHER TO RESOLVE THE
MAJORITY OF THIS THESE
PROBLEMS. THE CITY OF TIJUANA
WE EXPECT WILL CONTINUE TO GROW.
AND OFTENTIMES THAT GROWTH
COMES WITH DISCONNECTION TO THE
SEWER SYSTEM. AND WE COULD
EXPECT THAT WE WILL CONTINUE AS
THE CITY GROWS THIS PROBLEM
CONTINUE TO GROW LYSIS
ADDRESSED. SO WE HAVE
INTRODUCED THIS BILL. WHICH
WOULD CREATE A- A MITIGATION
PROGRAM- ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER. THAT WOULD OF AN
ESSENCE CREATE A WATERSHED STE.
MANAGEMENT STRATEGY TO ENSURE
THAT AS OF THE CITY OF TIJUANA
CONTINUES TO GROW. THAT. THEY
TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT RUN
OFF AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ASK
WELL HOW COULD WE WRITE A BILL
THAT WILL COMPEL MEXICO TO DO
ANYTHING WE REALLY CAT BUT WHAT
WE CAN. DO IS PUT UP CALIFORNIA
AND IN A POSITION. TO ADVOCATE
FOR THIS PROBLEM. AND AS WE
ALLOCATE THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS SOME OF THAT MONEY MAY
GO. TO BE SPENT ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE BORDER. THAT'S WHY THE
TIME THE BILL IS ESSENTIAL TO
GETTING THIS BILL OUT. IN THE
NEXT A FEW MONTHS. IS GOING TO
BE ESSENTIAL TO MAKE
MAINTAINING. SUIT TO GIVING
CALIFORNIA LEVERAGE ON HOW
THOSE FUNDS FUNDS ARE SPENT.
AND ADDING THIS TO ANY WORK
PLAN THAT WE CAN AGREE TO WITH
MEXICO WITH THROUGH THE
ALLOCATION OF THOSE FUNDS. SO
IF I CAN IT RE EXPLAIN THAT. IN
BEFORE WE INVEST A PENNY I'D
LIKE THERE TO BE A COMMITMENT
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER
TO RESOLVE THISPROBLEM ONCE
AND FOR ALL TO A LONG TERM
STRATEGY AND THIS BILL
ESSENTIAL IT WILL GIVE
CALIFORNIA THEM GOSHI EIGHTY
POWER JUST DOWN WITH WHAT THE-
REPRESENTATIVES MEXICO AND EAT
AND INCLUDE THIS IN A PACKAGE
OF A- OF RELIEF TO FIX THIS
PROBLEM. AND RIGHT NOW IF WE
WAIT ANOTHER YEAR WE'RE GONNA
LOSE THIS OPPORTUNITY. AND
POSSIBLY NOW REALLY DEVELOP A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVER TO
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THREE
HUNDRED MILLION IS A LOT OF
MONEY. AND AT ANY COULD GO
ENORMOUS OF WAY TO SOLVING THIS
PROBLEM AND I THINK THAT IF WE
DO IT RIGHT WE CAN SOLVE THE
ENTIRE PROBLEM WITH THESE FUNDS
AND ADDING THIS. ADDING THIS
BILL TO THAT NEGOTIATION WILL
REALLY HELP US SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL SO I
WE DIDN'T WE HAVE A SUPPORTERS
BUT BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS
WE'VE WE'VE- WE HAVE TO.
DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THEM-
PRESENT. AND I'D LOVE TO HAVE
YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS REPORT
LEGISLATION THAT WILL HELP NOT
ONLY ONE OF THE MOST TREASURED.
ECOLOGICAL AREAS IN OUR COUNTRY
TO DECLARE VALLEY A RAMSAR SITE.

MEMBERS BILL MAKES MULTIPLE
CHANGE IN STATE LAW TO AN THE
BILL THE STATE FIRE PREVENTION
EFFORTS THE BILL EXPANDS THE
AREA WHERE FIRE SAFETY BUILDING
STANDARDS APPLY BEYOND THE VERY
HIGH FIRE HAZARD ZONES IN THE
LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY AREA.
MAJOR FIRES HAVE OCCURRED IN
THE HIGH FIRE HAZARD ZONES SUCH
AS THE TUBBS FIRE THAT
DEVASTATED FOLKY PARKINSON ON
THE COUNTY. CURRENTLY BUILDING
STANDARDS ARE NOT REQUIRED IN
THOSE AREAS. EIGHT TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN HEADWATERS ECONOMICS
REPORT FOUND NEGLIGIBLE COST
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A TYPICAL
HOME AND HOME CONSTRUCTED USING
WILD FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS
AND DESIGN FEATURES. DECADES OF
RESEARCH AND POST FIRE
ASSESSMENT TO PROVIDE A CLEAR
EVIDENCE OF BUILDING MATERIALS
AND DESIGN. COUPLED WITH
LANDSCAPING ON THE PROPERTY ARE
THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS
INFLUENCING OUR HOMES ABILITY
TO SURVIVE A WILDFIRE. STAFF IS
WORKING ON AMENDMENTS TO ALLOW
THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL
DISCRETION ON WHAT PARTS OF THE
MODERATE FIRE HAZARDS ON TO
EXPAND THE STANDARDS TO. THE
UILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
SUPPORTS THE BILL AND THESE
CHANGES. THIS BILL MAKES IT
EASIER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
DO LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT
INCLUDE PROVISIONS COVERING
ADJACENT PROPERTIES REMOVING
RESTRICTIONS ON THOSE
ORDINANCES AND INCLUDING
PROVISIONS ON ADJACENT PROPERTY
FUEL MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE
FIRE MARSHAL'S MODEL ORDINANCE.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN
THAT THE ONE HUNDRED FEET OF
DEFENSIBLE SPACE FROM A
STRUCTURE WHEN THE PARCEL LINE
IS LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED FEET
AWAY. THIS BILL CREATES A
TRAINING PROGRAM TO UTILIZE
VOLUNTEERS TO DO DEFENSIBLE
SPACE AND HOME HARDENING
ASSESSMENTS. WHICH WILL HELP
UTILIZED HELLFIRE DEFENSIBLE
SPACE RESOURCES MORE
EFFICIENTLY. AND TUITION ENSURE
VOLUNTEERS AND HOW FAR ARE
SHARING A CONSISTENT MESSAGE ON
DEFENSIBLE SPACE AND HOME
HARDENING. THE BILL ALSO
REQUIRES A REPORT FROM CAL FIRE
ON THE STATUS BENEFITS AND
SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE
ONE BILLION DOLLARS COMMITTED
BY SB NINE OH ONE. WHICH
APPROXIMATELY HALF IS ALREADY
BEEN SPENT. ON THE PHONE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS LOSE

CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO BAKE
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS THE STATE HAS
MADE SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS TO
MITIGATE WILDFIRE RISK.
INCLUDING A ONE BILLION DOLLAR
COMMITMENT TO FOUR TOP AND FUEL
REDUCTION PROJECTS. HOWEVER WE
CAN DO MORE TO PROTECT PEOPLE
AND NATURE IN THE FACE OF
QUALIFIERS BY TOLERATING FOREST
RESTORATION IN CREATING FIRE
RESILIENT COMMUNITY. IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE AKE
CALIFORNIA'S FIRE PRONE REGIONS
MORE RESILIENT BY CREATING AND
MAINTAINING DEFENSIBLE SPACE
AROUND HELP. SB THIRTEEN FORTY
EIGHT MAKES IMPORTANT CHANGES
TO IMPROVE DEFENSIBLE SPACE
INSPECTIONS AND HIGH FIRE RISK
AREA WE CREATING A TRAINING
PROGRAM FOR VOLUNTEER. HELP
SUPPORT CALIFORNIA'S BUDGET
WILL BE THE FACT THAT AND
PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORT. WE
MUST ALSO IMPROVE CALIFORNIA'S
FOURTH. SB THIRTEEN FORTY EIGHT
WOULD FURTHER FORCE RESTORATION
THE STATE BY ADOPTING A PROGRAM
THAT ALLOWS LANDSCAPE SCALE
PROJECTS TO HAPPEN ON NATIONAL
FOREST LAND. IN FACT IN OUR
FEDERAL COURTS TO RESTORATION
WILL NOT ONLY REDUCE FIRE RISK
BUT ALSO INCREASE THE ABILITY
OF OUR COURTS PROVIDE VALUABLE
PUBLIC BENEFITS. INCLUDING
WATER SUPPLY CARBON RICH

MARCUSSEN FOR THE WESTERN
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
ASSOCIATION. WE CERTAINLY DON'T
OPPOSE CENTER HER TODDLER'S
EFFORTS TO PROVIDE A CLEAN
WATER OR THE STATUTORY
EXEMPTION UNDER CYCLIC. OF FOR
THESE PROJECTS HOWEVER. THE
LANGUAGE THAT QUITE FRANKLY WAS
IMPOSED UPON HER- WHICH IS
REPRESENTED BY THE THIS THE
STRONG SUPPORT THAT THE BILL
HAS RECEIVED FROM ORGANIZED
LABOR WILL MAKE IT. VERY
DIFFICULT WE BELIEVE OF FOR THE
WATER DISTRICTS BUT TO COMPLY.
WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IT'S
SOMEWHAT SIMPLISTIC TO SAY THAT
THE BILL SIMPLY REQUIRES A
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE.
HOWEVER THAT IS DEFINED IN THE
PUBLIC CONTRACTS CODE. AS
REQUIRING THAT 60% OF THE
JOURNEY WORKERS WHO WERE
EMPLOYED ON THESE PROJECTSMUST
HAVE GRADUATED FROM AN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM- WE
THINK THAT THIS PROVISION IN
ITSELF IS GOING TO RESULT IN.
THE LOSS OF A JOB SUPPORT
DURING WORKERS- THE LOSS OF
CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES OF
FOR LOCAL CONTRACTORS AND THAT
ALL THE WORK FOR DOING THESE
PROJECTS IS GOING TO GO TO BAY
AREA AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
CONTRACTORS. WHO CAN COMPLY
WITH THE 60% GRADUATION RATE-
AS MR OWN POINTED OUT THERE IS
ALSO- PILLAY LANGUAGE IN THE
BILL THAT WE OPPOSED TO WE'VE
ACTUALLY SPOKEN TO SEVERAL
WATER OF PROVIDERS- IT IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY WHO ARE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS AND SAID THAT- THE
ADVANTAGES FROM HAVING THE
STATUTORY EXEMPTION FROM SEEK
WORK. WILL BE LARGELY OFFSET BY
THE WORK FOR REQUIRE. AND FOR
THAT REASON. WE COULD IS A TO
THE MEASURE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. AND IF ANYONE ELSE
THE POTUS AT ONE AND THEN ZERO
FOR SB. NINE SEVEN FOUR ONE AND
THEN ZERO. WE DO NOT SHOW
ANYONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WITHOUT OFFERING

ABANDONING OF HAZARDOUS OR IDLE
DESERTED WELLS THE COMMISSION

SOUTHERN CENTRAL VALLEY- THIS
YEAR I SAT WITH CONSTITUENTS
DOWN AND KERN COUNTY RAISE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE LACK OF
RESOURCES IN OUR REGION. AND
YOU KNOW LOCAL LEADERS AND
ADVOCATES SHARED THEIR STORIES
ABOUT HOW UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO BE
NEGLECTED WHEN IT COMES TO
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION JOBS
AND MOST OF ALL PUBLIC HEALTH
WITH YOU KNOW UNEMPLOYMENT AS
HIGH AS SIX POINT FOR WHEN THE
REST OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
THREE PERCENT- THIS IS THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT- THAT THE
RESIDENTS OF KERN COUNTY FEEL
REALLY STRONGLY ABOUT. I'VE HAD
HONEST CONVERSATION WITH
STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT HOW TO
TACKLE ONE THINK A PUBLIC
HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES. AND
IN ADDITION TO OUR
CONVERSATIONS THE CALIFORNIA
COUNCIL ON SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY REPORTED THAT THERE
ARE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND
ACTIVE AND IDLE OIL AND GAS
WELLS IN CALIFORNIA AND THIS
INCLUDES FIVE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED FORTY WALLS IT MAY HAVE
NO VIABLE OPERATOR. OR AT HIGH
RISK OF BECOMING ORPHANED IN
THE NEAR FUTURE. ARE THESE IDLE
AN ORPHAN WELLS CAN RELEASE
TOXIC EMISSIONS TO THE
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
CREATING HEALTH CONCERNS FOR
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WITHIN
THAT AREA. TODAY AS WE ARE
FACING A WORLD HEALTH CRISIS
TOGETHER DUE TO COVER NINETY.
THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS OVER
COMMUNITIES OF KERN COUNTY AND
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. SB TEN
TWELVE REQUIRES CALCIUM TO
PARTICIPATIF OF OUR COMMUNITIES
WILL TAKING REASONABLE STEPS TO
RECOVER PLUGGING AND
ABANDONMENT COST ASSOCIATED
WITH DECOMMISSIONING ATTENDED
FACILITIES. FROM OPERATORS WHO
HAVE. NOT REPORTED. ACTIVE
OPERATIONS IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS. SB TEN TWELVE ALL
REQUIRES CALCIUM INCLUDE IN
THEIR ANGER REPORT AN UPDATE TO
THE LEGISLATURE WHICH INCLUDE
SPECIFIC LOCATIONS OF CAPITAL
WEALTH AND FACILITIES THE
REGISTERED OPERATOR AND WHETHER
THE OPERATORS ARE COMPLYING.
WITH THE CALIFORNIA LAW. AND
TODAY I HAVE DOCTOR DEBTS IN
OUR END- THE MAYOR OF OUR BEEN
WHO SIT JOSE COROLLA AT THAT
ARE HERE TO TESTIFY. THANK YOU
OPERATOR CAN YOU PLEASE QUEUE
UP THE WITNESSES IN SUPPORT AND
BRING THE ARE AT THE A DR. BOOM
HOWEVER- ON TO THE LINE. YEAH
AND DOCTOR DOOM HOLLERED AT
MINUS OPEN. WONDERFUL ABOUT
THAT THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
HONORING ME WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR TODAY. MY
NAME IS JORDAN HOW ARE AND I'M
AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN THE
ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN
DIEGO. I'VE BEEN STUDYING ORGAN
AND I DON'T WELL IT'S USED IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN AS A GRADUATE
STUDENT AT UC BERKELEY A POST
DOCTORAL SCHOLAR CANTERED. AND
NOW A MEMBER OF THE UCSD
FACULTY. I WAS THE LEAD AUTHOR
FOR THE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL ON
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY REPORT
WORKING WELDING. AN INITIAL OF
THE STATE'S POTENTIAL. TO PLUG
COMMISSION WORKS IN OIL AND GAS
WELLS I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE TODAY. I WANT
TO CLARIFY THAT I'M NOT HERE TO
ADVOCATE FOR OR AGAINST THIS
PARTICULAR BILL- BUT I WAS
INVITED TO PROVIDE EXPERT INPUT
I'M VERY HAPPY TO DO THAT- AND
TO ANSWER. QUESTIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE IF I CAN IF I CAN BE
HELPFUL. SO ROUGHLY SPEAKING
THERE ARE ABOUT A HUNDRED
THOUSAND ACTIVE AND IDLE OIL
AND NATURAL GAS WELLS IN
CALIFORNIA. EACH OF THESE WELLS
WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE
PLUGGED WITH CEMENT ANY
ASSOCIATED SIR. MEDIATED
ACTIVITIES PERFORMED ONE WELL
THE NO LONGER BE USED IN ORDER
TO ALLOW THE RISK OF GROUND AND-
METHANE WE AND OTHER IN AND
HEALTH COSTS. THESE ARE CALLED
PLUGGING AND STEPS REQUIRED BY
LAW. HOWEVER IN CASES WHERE THE
RESPONSIBLE OPERATORS HAVE
BECOME FINANCIALLY INSOLVENT OR
SIMPLY CAN NO LONGER BE
LOCATED. IDYLLWILD MAY BECOME
ORPHANED WELLS OR WELLS WITH NO
RESPONSIBLE OPERATOR TO HOLD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR PLUGGING AND
DECOMMISSIONING. CALIFORNIA
REQUIRES OPERATORS TO POST
BONDS THAT CAN BE USED TOWARDS
CLOSING COSTS WHEN WELL THEY'RE
OPEN. IN GENERAL THE AMOUNTS OF
THESE BONDS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY
SMALLER THAN PLUGGING AND
DECOMMISSIONING COSTS. THE RISK
OF BECOMING AN ORPHAN WELL AS
HISTORICALLY THE HIGHEST FOR
WELLS OPERATED BY SMALL
FINANCIALLY WEAK COMPANIES. AT
THE SAME TIME TO RETHINK
COLLAPSE IN CRUDE OIL PRICES TO
COVER NINETEEN AT ILLUSTRATED
HOW INDUSTRYWIDE SHOCKS CAN
THREATEN THE FINANCIAL HELP
WITH EVEN VERY LARGE OPERATORS.
IN OUR REPORT MY CCSD CO
AUTHORS AND I PERFORMED AN
INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF WATER
WELL IN CHOOSING CALIFORNIA.
BASED ON READILY AVAILABLE DATA
FROM THE DIVISION OF OIL GAS
AND GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES. WHICH
OF COURSE IS NOT OURS CAL JAM.
THIS ANALYSIS WOULD BE
COMPLETED IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
TO GET THAT THE THERE WERE FIVE
FIVE HUNDRED WELL THE CHILD HAS
LIKELY ALREADY BEEN ORPHANED OR
THE DATE HIGH RISK OF BECOMING
ORSON WELLES. YEAH THE STATE
LIABILITY ALSO THE COM MILLION.
WILL CALCULATED NUMBER OF
OTHERS TO WHICH AE IN THE
REPORT. ARE REPORTED AND
ATTACHMENT MORE. STUDIES
REQUIRED TO MAKE DEFINITIVE
STATEMENTS ABOUT ANY INDIVIDUAL
WELL OR OPERATOR. WE ARE

FEW OF THOSE THAT ARE
PARTICULAR TO QUESTION A

SENATOR ANDREAS. INTERESTED
BECAUSE I MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THAT THE SPONSORS OF THIS BILL
HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT SOME OF THE
AMENDMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE
CAN YOU CLARIFY WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH ALL OF THE INMATES THAT
ARE BEING TAKEN AND WHY THEY
NOW HAVE CONCERNS. WELL FIRST
OF ALL SAID WHAT. RUSSIAN OF
THE CHAIR. FIRST AND FOREMOST
I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT THIS
BILL IS NOT SPONSORED BY ANY
PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION AT THIS
IS. A BILL THAT IS SPONSORED
BY- BY ME AT RIGHT AND- IT WITH
THE SUPPORT OF THE YOU KNOW THE
SENATE NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMITTEE. AND SO- THAT'S
THAT'S ONE THING I WANTED TO
CLARIFY THE OTHER THING IS THAT
THE COMMITTEE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
ARE PROVIDED AMENDMENTS- THAT
THEY FELT THEY WERE DEFEATED
AND SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF
WHAT I'M ABOUT IN TERMS OF. WHY
DOES IT WORK IN SUPPORT NOW IN
THIS THEY DON'T FIT WITH THE
AMENDMENT I'M TAKING HERE TODAY.
OKAY. YES CENTER- I SHADOWS
BILLS BEEN INTERESTING FOR YOU
BUT IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THIS
BILL DID A ONE EIGHTY. PRETTY
MUCH EVERYBODY THAT WAS IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL ARE NOW
COMING OFF ORIGINALLY RIGHT
BECAUSE OF THESE AMENDMENTS
GOING TO POSE IT EVERYBODY WAS
OPPOSED BECAUSE THE MINISTER
NOW SUPPORT. SO FEELS LIKE.
WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO WHAT YOU
WANTED TO DO IS NOT GETTING
WHEN I GET IN THERE. IS THAT
CORRECT. WELL I MEAN THE
VERSION THAT I MOVED FORWARD IS
NOT MOVING FORWARD BUT YOU KNOW
AT THE END OF THE DAY TO ME
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THE
PEOPLE I REPRESENT AND ALTHOUGH
IT'S THAT. THAT WE REPRESENT
TRAIT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
THAT REPRESENTS AT PEOPLE THAT
ARE NEAR IDLE BALLS AND SO. I
THINK- THAT THAT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT TAKEN AND THEN TRYING
TO MOVE. THE CONVERSATION
FORWARD AND SO HAVING THAT IN
MIND. I JUST. OKAY THANK YOU
QUITE FRANKLY I DON'T KNOW IF I
HAD THE SUPPORT TO MOVE THIS
BILL FORWARD. AND I THINK THAT
GIVEN EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING
ON WITH COBIT AND- AND WITH
VALLEY FEVER JUST RIGHT AROUND
THE CORNER AND THESE THINGS
THAT ARE JUST COMING TOGETHER I
MEAN. TO DO I MEAN I WANTED TRY
TO MAKE IT TO IN ANY POSSIBLE
AND SO WANTED TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATION- EVEN THOUGH THEY
WERE NOT THE MOMENTS THAT I
BROUGHT FORTH. OUT OF. MAKE
YOUR HEART WAS IN THE RIGHT
SPOT WITH TWENTY TO HELP. TODAY
I THINK IT'S JUST A BIT THIS.
THAT IT JUST FEELS KIND OF
HAVING TO LOOK MEMBERS DISPLAY
THE GAME AT THIS BILL GOT
FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD. SO I
APPRECIATE YOU AND I WAS HAPPY
TO SUPPORT IT EARLIER AND I'M
JUST NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO.
CHECK THAT. ANYONE ELSE
COMMITTEE. I'LL JUST SAY I WANT
TO FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU ALL
VERY MUCH ON THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT AREA TO TRY TO
LEGISLATE IN AND CERTAINLY HAVE
A COMMUNITY THAT HAS A LOT OF
IMPACTS. A FROM IDLE WELLS. AND
WE HAVE IMPACTS MODEL ROLLS
AROUND THE STATE THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT TAXPAYERS
ARE IN ON THE LINE OVER AND
OVER AGAIN WHEN I DON'T WELL.
CREATES AN ISSUE OR EVEN WHEN I
TO WELCH'S LEFT BEHIND IS
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN OF.
GROWING IMPORTANCE OF THE
LEGISLATURE. AND I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR BEING WILLING
TO WORK WITH US I KNOW IT'S A
DIFFICULT PLACE TO BE WHEN YOU
HAVE A BILL THAT HAS
OPPOSITION. AND THE POSITION.
PLACE BUT AT THE SAME TIME-
THIS COMMITTEE FELT THAT IT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A BILL
THAT DIDN'T INCREASE THE
POTENTIAL FOR LIABILITY
SHIFTING. FROM OIL PRODUCERS TO
TAXPAYERS AND THAT'S WHY THE
AMENDMENTS WERE PUT INTO PLACE
AND THAT'S WHY THE BILL
INDUSTRY. IS HAVING CONCERNS
WITH THIS BILL AS WRITTEN. THIS
COMMITTEE'S JOB THOUGH IS TO
PROTECT THE TAXPAYERS. AND THE
FOR THE RESIDENTS- AND SO THAT
WILL ALWAYS BE THE- POSITION
THAT WETAKE AND KIND OF THE
SIDE THAT WE TAKE. AND THAT'S
WHY THE AMENDMENTS ARE THERE
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR-
BEING WILLING TO. I TAKE THESE
AMENDMENTS. AND I APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO FOR
YOUR COMMUNITY I THINK IT'S
VERY VERY IMPORTANT AND- YOU
KNOW THEY HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S
DEFINITELY LOOKING OUT FOR
THEM. SO WITH THAT DO WE HAVE A
MOTION. HEY WE HAVE A MOTOR AND
WE HAVE A SECOND. WE HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND AND WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK YOU

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR
THAT PROCEED WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU MEMBERS AS CALIFORNIA
SEEKS TO NAVIGATE ITS PRESENT
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY WERE
ALSO STARING DOWN ANOTHER
CRISIS. THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
THAT THREATENS VIRTUALLY A
CORNER OF OUR LIVES. THE
EFFECTS HAVEBEEN WILL COME IN
EVERY. LEVEL WE SEE THEM
INTERNATIONALLY WERE RECENT
RESEARCH RECENTLY RESEARCHERS
FOUND OUT THAT ONE BILLION
PEOPLE WILL BE DISPLACED OR
FORCED TO INDOOR INSEPARABLE HE
FOR EVERY ADDITIONAL 1 DEGREES
CELSIUS TEMPERATURE RISE. WE
SEE THAT AT THE STATE LEVEL
WHERE RISKY BUSINESS PROJECT
ESTIMATES EIGHT TO TEN BILLION
DOLLARS OF EXISTING PROPERTY
WILL BE UNDER WATER. BY TWENTY
FIFTY WITH AN ADDITIONAL SIX
BILLION TO TEN BILLION DOLLARS
AT RISK DURING HIGH TIDE. AND
WE SEE THEM AT THE REGIONAL AND
LOCAL LEVELS WHERE FOR EXAMPLE
RISKY BUSINESS ESTIMATES THE
INLAND EMPIRE WILL LOSE UP TO
THIRTY EIGHT MILLION PER YEAR.
AND ON DECLINES IN COTTON
YIELDS. WHAT THE AVAIL RESEARCH
THROUGH PROJECTS LIKE RISKY
BUSINESS CLEAR IS THAT
VIRTUALLY EVERY CORNER OF OUR
LIVES WILL BE UPENDED BY THE
CLIMATE CRISIS. BUT DESPITE THE
VALUE RESEARCH CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE CALIFORNIA DOES NOT
REQUIRE A SYSTEMIC REVIEW OF
OUR CLIMATE LIABILITIES. THESE
OUT ANALYSES ARE NOT ONLY
POSSIBLE BUT CRITICAL SO THAT
WE CAN PINPOINT PRECISELY WHERE
WE HAD MOST VULNERABLE ACT
AGGRESSIVELY TO REDUCE RISK. SB
THIRTEEN TWENTY WILL FILL THIS
GAP BY PROVIDING FOR THE
REGULAR PRODUCTION OF OUR
CLIMATE ASSESSMENT. REQUIRING
THAT THE ASSESSMENT STUDIES
IMPACT ECONOMIC IMPACTS
ALONGSIDE THE RISK OF CLIMATE
CHANGE. TO OUR STATE'S BUILT
NATURAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS.
RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL
REQUIRE OPR TO ASSESS POTENTIAL
ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
RESPONSES AND THE FINANCIAL
COSTS AND BENEFITS OF ACTION
READ REPORT. EXAMINATIONS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES
AND THE UNIQUE RISK POSED TO
TRAVEL COMMUNITIES AND DECISION
SUPPORT TOOLS AND BEST
PRACTICES FOR PLANNERS AND
DECISION MAKERS. ENSURE THAT
WE'RE NOT DROPPING THE REPORTS
ON THEIR DESK WITHOUT
GUIDELINES OF HOW TO TAKE
SUBSTANTIVE ACTION. THE BILL
ALSO ENSURE OPR WILL COORDINATE
WITH REGIONAL AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TRIBES AND MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC. THIS YEAR WE'RE
EXPERIENCING A FISCAL SHOCK
THAT REQUIRES US TO SPEND MORE
AS WE TAKE IN LESS REVENUE.
THAT CHALLENGE OF A CONTRACTING
ECONOMY AND EXPANDING NEED FOR
COLLECTIVE IN STATE ACTION IS
ALSO CENTRAL TO THE CLIMATE
CRISIS THE BY UNDERSTANDING
WHERE RISK LIES WE HAVE THE
CHANCE TO INVEST BOLDLY TO
AVOID THAT HAUNTED FUTURE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NOT. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. ANY WITNESSES TO
SUPPORT ON THE PHONE. NOT A
MODERATOR I BELIEVE WE HAVE A
MISTER PARKER FREE ON THE PHONE.

COW ADAPT. I HOPE YOU'RE FROM
WITH THE HAS THE VERY DATA FROM
BEFORE ASSESSMENT THAT GETS
USED BY BUT SAY THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION IN THE
RECENT PROCEEDING RELATED TO
INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES-
RANKING CLIMB AT RISK AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS USE THIS DATA FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR
CLIMATE ASSESSMENTS AND PLANS-
FOR EXAMPLE OUR ORGANIZATION.
IF YOU THINK THIS DATA IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE L. A. COUNTY
ACCOUNTABLE IF DOCUMENT AND BY
STATUTE WHAT EVER MANAGE TO
UPDATE THEIR LOCAL HAZARD
MITIGATION PLANS AND THEIR NO
PLANS. AND STATED. NOW I WANT
TO CALL TO SECTION FOUR. ****
THEN APPLY PERCENT YEARS UP FOR
THE CLIMATE IS TOUGH TWENTY TWO
FIFTY TWENTY HUNDRED. AND FRANK
HAD WE TRIED TO CHECK CERTAIN
PATH AND PRIOR VERSIONS AND
THIS IS THE FAULT CLIMATE IS
THE AVERAGE OF WEATHER-
EXPRESSED IN A POX NOT IN
SPECIFIC YEARS. AND WE WERE
HOPING THAT THE LINK WHICH
WOULD BE CHANGED EVERY FOR.
THIRTY YEAR TIME PLACES RATHER
THAN SPECIFIC YEARS BECAUSE IT
ACTUALLY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
PREDICT WHAT THE. WEATHER WOULD
BE LIKE. AFTER YEARS BUT YOU.

CALIFORNIANS TO MAINTAIN
OCCLUSION AND MOST AMERICANS
BUT- EVEN HERE MOST DON'T
APPRECIATE AND HAVE NOT
PREPARED FOR. EVEN THE
TRANSFORMATIONS ALREADY
UNFOLDING BEFORE THEIR EYES.

IT WAS ONE POINT TWO MILLION
AND YOUR BEFORE WE SPOKE TWENTY

OVER YEAR RELEASING ENOUGH
CARBON FREE ATMOSPHERE ENTIRELY
WIPED OUT THE PROGRESS THE
STATE HAD MADE WITH ALL ITS
GREEN ENERGY AND FUEL
EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS AND TODAY
BILLIONS OF POINTS ARE ALREADY
LIVING IN BUILDING HOUSING IN
VERY HIGH. WHAT PART AREAS. THE
LONGTIME ADVOCATE OF CONNECTION
SPOKE ABOUT IT IS A MORAL ISSUE
NOT A MATERIAL ONE AN OPPONENT
SPOKE ONLY ABOUT THE COST OF
ACTION NOT ITS BENEFITS THAT
MEANT ALMOST NO ONE IN THE
PUBLIC. APPRECIATED JUST HOW
ENORMOUS THE BENEFITS THE END
ARE ENORMOUS. SOMETIMES
THANKLESS BELIEVE WARMING COULD
REDUCE GLOBAL DP BY AS MUCH AS
2230% BY THE END OF THE
CENTURY. AND DECARBONIZING THE
ECONOMY COULD ADD AS MUCH AS
TWENTY TRILLION TRIPLE GDP BY
THE TWENTY THIRD INTO ANOTHER
START THE CAR. JUST PMR
ELECTRIC JUST COULD ADD FIFTEEN
TO TWENTY MILLION JOBS OVER THE
NEXT. DECADE VERY LONG TIME WE
HAVE RALLIED TO TRY TO AVID
WARMING TO LIMIT EMISSIONS OF
THE DAMAGES THAT INEVITABLY
COME FROM CLIMATE CHANGE. BUT%
DRAMATIC CHANGE IS ALREADY HERE
AND THERE'S MORE WARMING COMING
WE CAN'T CONTINUE LIVING IN
IGNORANCE. AND HOPING FOR THE
BEST AND WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO
BELIEVE. THAT CLIMATE CHANGE
WILL BE AVOIDED WE HAVE TO
BEGIN TO ADAPT AND THAT
REQUIRES SEEING THE PROBLEM
UNDERSTANDING THE THREAT AND
RESPONDING WITH KNOWLEDGE. THAT
KNOWLEDGE ON THE FORECHECK THE
COMES WITH IT IS WHAT THIS BILL
PROMISES WHICH IS WHY I SUPPORT
IT ENTHUSIASTICALLY. THANK YOU.

GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THIS
BILL TODAY I THINK. HAVING AN
ASSESSMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS
IS A GOOD IDEA BUT I DO WANT TO
URGE THE DOCTOR. I TO THINK
ABOUT BEING MORE INTENTIONAL OR
TALKING ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE COMMUNITIES ARE MORE
AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES ARE
GOING TO BE IMPACTED WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE- WE BEAR THE
BURDEN ON POLLUTION ALREADY AND
WE KNOW THAT AS TIME MACHINE
HAVE BEEN WE HAVE. THESE P.
ALLEN'S GOING TO WORST IN THESE
COMMUNITY I THINK IS THE EASY
THING TO. ARE EIGHT ARE GOING
LEAD ON THE- I WITHOUT A BEING
EXPLICIT ABOUT IT TYPE THAT'S
WHAT. ON THESE PA HAVE WE HAVE.
A RESPONSIBILITY TO LAY IT OUT
THERE MAKE IT CLEAR TO THE
DEPARTMENT THAT THEY SHOULD BE
PRIORITIZED SEEN. THESE
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AND
HAVING ASSESSMENTS- THAT
SUFFICE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO
BE. EVEN MORE BURDEN THAT I
THINK IS OUT THERE IN SUCH AS
LANKFORD. WORK WILL FIND THAT
THIS BILL WHICH IS BUILT IN
GENERAL AS WE TALK ABOUT. AS WE
TALK ABOUT PRETTY MORE EQUITY
IN OUR POLICIES AND OUR
INSTITUTIONS OUT THERE BEING
INTENTIONAL AND SO THE CURRENT
CULTURE- IF WE LOOK AT THE
PATTERN. WE ARE OFTEN AFTER
THOUGHTS IN THESE COMMUNITIES
AND WE DO THE MINIMUM- UNTIL.
JUSTICE WANTED TO MAKE THAT
COMMUNIST AS YOU MOVE FORWARD
WITH THIS BILL BUT- I THANK YOU
FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING
AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT. TIME
BEFORE THE DISCUSS THE FLORAL
HAS. NOT TOO LITTLE BY SPECIFIC
FOR. ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITIES
AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO ENGAGE
WITH THEM AS WELL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SO MEMBER STONE.
THANK YOU SENATOR SINCE YOU'RE
ON THE PHONE THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF OTHER AGENCIES ALSO DOING
ASSESSMENTS. HOW DOES THIS ASK
FIT IN WITH ALL THOSE. THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION ASSEMBLY
MEMBER- THE GOAL HERE IS TO TRY
TO DECIDE LOW A LOT OF THE
ANALYSES THAT ARE CURRENTLY
GOING ON SAY WITHIN AN AGENCY
LIKE CALTRANS OR THE PUBLIC
UTILITY COMMISSION ABOUT THE
VULNERABILITY OF OUR ENERGY
GRID OR OUR TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM OR IT CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT- NAGRA CULTURE
IMPACT ON OUR CROSSES TO. OR W.
THE RISKS TO OUR STATE. I THINK
IT'S SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY BILL
DOLLAR ARCS TO PASTA IN ONE
YEAR SUPER DISASTER
POSSIBILITY- ALL THE ALL THE
MASSES THAT EACH OF THOSE%
AGENCIES DO DON'T END UP IN ONE
INTEGRATED FORMAT AND REALLY
DON'T APPEAR ON OUR BOOKS IN
THE BUDGET. SO THESE ARE
UNFORESEEN OFTEN LIABILITIES
THAT WITHIN THEIR SILOS THEY
ARE FORESEEN SOMEWHAT BUT I'M
REALLY HOPING THAT INTEGRATED
ASSESSMENT- PUTS THAT MATH
TOGETHER SO WE DON'T GET
BLINDSIDED IN A IN A BUDGET
WHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN IT TWENTY
FIVE BILLION DOLLAR HIT COMES
THAT WE DIDN'T SEE COMING IN
WE'VE GOT TO CUT. OUTPUT AND
MEDICARE AL BECAUSE THAT WE GOT
IT WITH A FIRE IN A FLOOD THE
SENIOR. BUT THE GOAL HERE IS
TO. TRY TO GO LEVEL TO REALLY
FOR SOME OF THAT MATH IN YOUR
DECISION MAKING IT INTEGRATED
BASIS. OKAY SO THIS DOES SOUND
LIKE A GOOD PLACE THEN TO
INJECT ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
CONCERNS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEIR ADDRESS IN AN OVER
ARCHING WHY WITH ALL OF THE-
OTHER AGENCIES BECAUSE THE
AGENCIES HAVEN'T REALLY. BEEN
WILLING ALWAYS TO SPECIFICALLY
LOOK AT IMPACTED COMMUNITIES
AND IN THE SAME WAY SO THAT
WOULD BE I THINK A VERY GOOD
CONCEPT TO AND INCLUDING.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THAT AND
WELCOME THIS COMMITTEE OR
SIMILAR IN REGARDS TO YOUR OR
YOUR- SUGGESTIONS OR THE
COMMUNITY ITSELF- I KNOW
THERE'S A LINE IN THERE. THE
EMIGRATE VIEWS RIGHT IT JUST
SAYS REPORT ON ISSUES OF
STATEWIDE SIGNIFICANCE
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
CONSIDERATIONS BUT- I THINK WE
COULD BE MORE POINTED AND MAKE
CLEAR TO THE- THE VULNERABLE
WHO ARE GOING TO BE HIT SO. I
WOULD WELCOME THE SUGGESTION
EVEN BEFORE THE FLOOR OKAY I
THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY
IMPORTANT TO THIS COMMITTEE TO.
TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN. THANK YOU
SO THE RESURGENT. THANK YOU
SENATOR STERN THANK YOU FOR A-
JOINING US TELEPHONICALLY I
KNOW YOU HAVE A SOME PERSONAL
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENT YOU
FROM BEING A BOTH HERE
YESTERDAY AS WELL AS TODAY- YOU
KNOW I WAS. IN MY OFFICE EATING
MY LUNCH AND I WAS INSPIRED TO
ASK THIS QUESTION THAT- YOU
KNOW JUST CAME OUT OF THE BLUE
BUT- YOU KNOW DOES YOUR BILL
WELL WILL IT. THE SECTOR TO DO.
ENOUGH DETAILED INFORMATION SO
THAT WE GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING. OF THE STAKE IN
OF OUR CLIMATE CHALLENGES I
MEAN I AM THINKING IN
PARTICULAR ABOUT YOU KNOW OUR
INVESTMENTS. AND CALPERS AND
CAL. AND HOW WE NEED TO HAVE. A
MORE CLEAR UNDERSTANDING IN
TERMS OF- PRIVATE EQUITY-
EXPOSURE TO THE RISKS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE CAN YOU TALK
ABOUT HOW YOUR BILL WILL BE
PART OF THE SOLUTION TO GET US
BETTER INFORMATION. THANKS FOR
THE QUESTION ASSEMBLY MEMBER
AND THANKS FOR. TAKING TO COME
BACK TO COMEDIAN DIGGIN ON
THIS- I THINK THE BILL COULD BE.
MAYBE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC IN
THAT REGARD- SO I'M OPENING I'M
OPEN TO YOU TO MAKING THE BILL
A LITTLE MORE GRANULAR ABOUT
TRYING TO. ACCESS THAT KIND OF
DATA WE KNOW THAT FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER LAST
YEAR CALPERS AND CAL STIRS ARE
STARTING TO DO SOME OF THEIR
WORK AS SHAREHOLDERS IN
CORPORATIONS AND TRYING TO PUSH
FOR MORE DISCLOSURE OF CLIMATE
RISK IN A NUMBER OF. LARGE
MULTINATIONALS NOT JUST THOSE
BASED IN CALIFORNIA BUT I
APPRECIATE THAT YOU KNOW IT'S
NOT JUST THOSE PENSION FUNDS
THAT ARE AT RISK BUT IT'S YOU
KNOW ANYONE WHO HAD A FIRE
INSURANCE POLICY WE WANT TO
BETTER RIGHT. AND OUTSIDE. INCH
MORE WE WANT TO KNOW. HE KNOW
WHAT KIND OF A- SOME OF OUR
LARGEST CORPORATIONS HAVE AND
WHETHER THERE WE CAN KEEP
LEANING ON THEM OR WHETHER THEY
HAVE UNFORESEEN RISKS SO I
THINK. I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY
MORE WE CAN DO- TO INSURE THAT
WE GET NOT JUST THE PUBLIC
SECTOR DATA FROM THE AGENCIES
BUT ALSO- MAKING SURE GETTING
THAT FULL SORT OF PICTURE
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH CENTER ANY
OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO SPEAK.

PROJECTS ARE OFTEN DELAYED
EXACTLY WHEN WE NEED THEM MOST.
FOR EXAMPLE PEOPLE LITIGATION
I'M TEMPTED TO CUT BY CLAN HELD
UP THIRTY FOUR MILES OF BIKE
LANES OVER FOUR YEARS. DURING
THAT TIME NINE PEOPLE DIED AND
OVER TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE
INJURED WHILE RIDING THEIR
BIKES IN THE CITY. TODAY THE
CITY FLOW AND PASTRY PROGRAM IS
APPEALED EVEN THOUGH IT IS A
CORNERSTONE IN THE CITY'S
COVERT NINETEEN RECOVERY PLAN.
BOTH OF THESE ARE NOT BASED ON
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT BUT ON
PARKING AND TRAFFIC IMPACTS.
SORRY LIKE THESE ALL OVER CAL.
MORE THAN TWENTY ORGANIZATIONS
ACROSS THE STATE I UNDERSTAND
THE URGENCY AND THE COR AT B.
TWO EIGHTY EIGHT. I THINK IT'S
VERY OPEN WE ARE THINKING A
MAJOR UPTICK IN DRIVING AND
CONGESTION NOW IS THE TIME TO
REALLY DOUBLE DOWN AND BUILD
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAKES IT
SAFE AND CONVENIENT FOR PEOPLE
TO WALK BIKE AND TAKE A BATH IN
THE BIKE ROUTE. OUR ENVIRONMENT
OUR HEALTH AND OUR ECONOMY
DEPEND ON IT. IF WE DON'T IT
WILL CONTINUE TO HUNT STATES
BLACK AND LATINO POPULATION-
ALREADY SHOULDER
DISPROPORTIONATE BURDEN OF THE
STATE AIR POLLUTION FROM
VEHICLES. AND HAVE HIGHER RATES
OF THE CONDITIONS THAT MAKE.
COVERT NINETEEN ACTUALLY
DANGEROUS. IN AREAS WHERE
TRAFFIC CONGESTION IS RAPIDLY
RETURNING BUT THEY'RE STUCK IN
TRAFFIC OR PACKING PEOPLE UP T
THE SOCIAL DISTANCING. THIS
UNFAIRLY IMPACT ESSENTIAL
WORKERS ON WHOM WE DEPEND. IN
CALIFORNIA THIRD OF ALL
POTENTIAL WORKERS RELY ON
TRANSIT TO GET WHERE THEY NEED
TO GO. SB TWO EIGHTY EIGHT THE
COURT CALIFORNIA'S RECOVERY BY
PROVIDING TARGETED EXEMPTIONS
ARE TO GO UP TO COMMONSENSE
PROJECT. I THINK YOU EIGHTY
EIGHT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
PROJECT THAT TRULY BENEFIT
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE
ENVIRONMENT IT INCLUDES
IMPORTANT NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR
COMMUNITY LED DECISION MAKING
ON LARGER PROJECTS. LIKE
ENSURING THAT PRODUCT BY THIRTY
EIGHT COMMUNITY EARLY AND
ANALYZE DISPROPORTIONATE
BENEFITS AND BURDENS OF THE
PROJECT THROUGH RACIAL EQUITY
ANALYSIS. INCLUDE HIGH
STANDARDS FOR LABOR AND THE
ENVIRONMENT. SB TWO EDA AND NO
COCKTAIL LED TO THE STATE SB

FIVE TO AN ECONOMIC RETURN AND
DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPENDING.

CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS TIFFANY AND I'M WITH
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ALLIANCE OKAY HOUSE.
THE HOBBIT OPPOSED TO SB TWO
WOULD BE A ELECTED AS AMENDED
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW LARGE
SCALE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.
TO BUS RAPID TRANSIT OTHERS YOU
BY PATCH CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW AND ACCOUNTABILITY
PROPERTIES WHICH COULD RESULT
IN SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE HEALTH
IMPACT AND OTHER IMPACTS SUCH
AS- THE DISPLACEMENT OF LOW
INCOME COMMUTING TO ME THE
COLOR. WE REALLY APPRECIATE OUR
CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHOR'S
OFFICE AND THE BILL'S SPONSORS.
YOU FIND WAYS TO MINIMIZE SB
JUDY IT HARMS HOWEVER THINK I
WILL JUST BE THE TRANSPORTATION
JUST ADVOCATE. WE KNOW THAT
BECAUSE ONE OF THE FEW LEGAL
TOOL THAT LOW INCOME FAMILIES
AND COMMUTER CALLER HAVE TO
ENSURE THAT THE PROJECT WILL
NOT BRING ABOUT SIGNIFICANT
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ANOTHER
IMPACT. WE'RE CONCERNED. IT
WOULD CREATE A TROUBLING
PRECEDENT FOR ADDITIONAL BILLS
THAT WE KEEP THAT PROJECT THAT
SHOULD IN FACT UNDERGO FULL AND
ROBUST PEOPLE PROCESS. THE
POLITICAL PROPAGANDA THERE
BECAUSE ALLOWED AJ COMMUNITY TO
LEARN ABOUT. PARTICIPATE IN AND
IMPROVE THIS PROJECT THAT WILL
LIKELY IMPACT THEIR FAMILY
HEALTH. AND THEIR ABILITY TO
STAY IN THEIR HOMES AND
NEIGHBORHOODS. THE CALL READY.
A PUBLIC. AND VETTING PROCESS.
WE DO NOT SEE THE NEED TO
CREATE A SEPARATE PUBLIC
PROCESS. MOREOVER A PUBLIC
PROPERTY FORTY CENTER PROJECT
ALMOST MEANINGLESS SENATE THE
COMMITTEE WILL NOT HAVE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS. AND
OTHER INFORMATION THAT THEY
NEED. IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE
PROS AND CONS OF THE PROJECT.
SIMILARLY ALL THE PREVIOUS
AUTHORED ADDITION OF A RACIAL
EQUITY ANALYSIS. WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT THE CHANNEL
COULD NOT BE ENFORCEABLE BY LAW
IT CANNOT REPLACE. A PROCESS.
OR STOP POTENTIAL DISPLACEMENT
OF LOW INCOME CREATING COMMIT
THE COLOR. WE APPRECIATE
AUTHORS WITH AMENDMENT TO LIMIT
THE PROJECT THAT COULD LEAD TO
SOME OF THE GREATEST HARM. WE
DO BELIEVE THAT IN ORDER FOR SB
THREE. STATUS AND CAN YOU
RECOMMEND OF THE BILL BE
NARROWLY TAILORED TO ONLY APPLY
TO PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE
FACILITIES. AND BICYCLE
TRANSPORTATION PLAN. FOR THESE
REASONS THAT WE RESPECTFULLY

THE COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. MISTER SAID THANK YOU.
THANK CENTER WIENER FOR NOT
ONLY. PRESENTING YOUR BILL BUT-
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
WITH YOU BRIEFLY LAST NIGHT I
RAISE MY CONCERN- SPECIFICALLY
ON THE PROVISION OF THE BILL
THAT NOT ONLY. FOR POSES
EXEMPTIONS FROM SEQUEL FOR
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PLANS.
BUT FOR POTENTIALLY MORE
SIGNIFICANT PLANS. THAT SAY HA-
ALSO HIGHLIGHTED- PROJECTS FOR
THE INSTITUTION OR INCREASE OF.
A NEW BUS TRENT TRANSIT. OR
LIGHT RAIL SERVICE INCLUDING
THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATIONS
WHICH I BELIEVE WOULD BE RAIL
STATIONS. IF THEY'RE ON
EXISTING PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY-
SO FIRST I WANT TO ASK. LIKE
FOR EXAMPLE IN IN MY DISTRICT I
I'VE BEEN A BIG SUPPORTER OF
EXTENDING THE L. A. METRO TO
THE CITY OF TORRANCE ONE OF
THE- UP POSIBLES AND PERHAPS A
MISTER TURNER WITH L. A. METRO
IF HE'S STILL. AVAILABLE YOU
CAN CONFIRM THIS BUT THAT ONE
OF THE PROPOSALS IS TO EXTEND
THE METRO LIGHT RAIL ON THE
EXISTING. ARE RIGHT AWAY- TO
GOING TO TORRANCE BUT OF COURSE.
THAT WOULD RAISE SIGNIFICANT.
CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY NOT
ONLY IN TERMS OF. THE EXTENSION
THE LIGHT RAIL BUT ALSO THE
CONSTRUCTION OF STATIONS WHICH
I WOULD ASSUME WOULD BE A- HUGE
PROJECT- IN IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND TO HAVE A WHOLESALE. SEQUEL
EXEMPTION FOR- THESE
POTENTIALLY LARGE PROJECT. ON
HI I'M- ACTUALLY SURPRISED THAT
IT INTO EITHER I'M
MISUNDERSTANDING AND OR- OR I'M
SURPRISED THAT IT IT. WASN'T
RAISED AS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE-
BY THIS COMMITTEE OR BY THE
SENATE SO I WANT TO ASK THEM.
IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT
CORRECTLY AND- AND- SO- TO THE
CHAIR YES PLEASE YOU CAN THANK
YOU I THANK YOU- SOME REMEMBER
AFTER THE QUESTION OF F. SHOT.
LAST NIGHT SO COUPLE THINGS ARE
FIRST OF ALL THE BILL DOES NOT
APPLY TO HEAVY RAIL JUST TO BE
CLEAR- AND THEN IN TERMS OF
LIGHT RAIL IT HAS TO BE AN
EXISTING RIGHT AWAY. SO THIS IS
NOT LIGHT RAIL WHERE YOU'RE YOU
KNOW CREATING A NEW RIGHT OF
WAY HICH YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY
BACK CAN CREATE CONCERNS WOULD
BE MUCH MORE DESTRUCTIVE IN
TERMS OF OTHERS EXISTING USES.
EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY ALL BY.
AND IF THE PROJECT IS AT A
HUNDRED MILLION OR MORE AND
FRANKLY HAVING BEEN AROUND
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
FOR A LONG TIME. ANY DIFFERENT
THAN LIGHT RAIL PROJECT YEAH
AND YOU. YOU KNOW IS.
TRAGICALLY GOING TO PAST
SEVERAL AND SO IF SO THEN IT
HAS TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN
ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEARED WITH A
E. I. R. AS PART OF A REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION PLAN OAKLAND
DOCUMENT WHICH WOULD HAVE HAD
PUBLIC PUBLIC PARTICIPATION THE
I. R. AND POTENTIALLY LAWSUITS
IN ADDITION THIS IS NOT IN ANY
WAY CHANGE THE NEED FOR FORMAL
APPROVAL SO L. A. METRO WHICH
OF COURSE IS A PUBLIC BODY
COMPRISES I UNDERSTAND THAT OF.
A LOT LARGE ELECTED OFFICIALS
WORSE IT WILL STILL HAVE TO
APPROVE THE PROJECT THEY'RE
GONNA HAVE TO DO MULTIPLE
PUBLIC MEETINGS AT A TIME
THIRTY ONE FOCUSED ON A RACIAL
EQUITY AND THEN TO PUBLIC MEDIA
PER YEAR FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF
GUARDRAILS AROUND US AT IT I
JUST A LITTLE IT WAS KIND OF
SITUATION- AND I ALSO
PURCHASED- PENSION I'VE WE'VE
WE'VE SPENT ALL TOP SE HAN I
RESPECT THE ORGANS AND TAKING
THEIR BACK AND TRYING TO. MEET
THEIR CONCERNS THE BILL HAS
STRAINED WRIST I'M CANNOT TEAR
DOWN WERE FROM PORTABLE HOUSING
RENT CONTROLLED HOUSING-
HOUSING- THAT IS RENTAL WERE
YOU HAVE OF WORDS OCTOBER THERE
ARE RESTRICTIONS WE DON'T BE A
DISPLACING OUR PEOPLE OUR
SERVER WHICH OF THOSE ARE
CONCERNS VERY SERIOUSLY WILL
CONTINUE OF COURSE TO LOG. SO
THE- YOU CAN FOLLOW UP ON SO.
THE PROCESS THAT YOU DESCRIBE
HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE IN A
MIGHT OKAY SENT INTO IN REDONDO
BEACH- MULTIPLE HEARINGS ARE
BEING HELD BY L. A. METRO BUT-
MY UNDERSTANDING AGAIN OF YOUR
BILL HERE IS SET UP. IS THAT
WHILE THE PUBLIC HAS HAD
OPPORTUNITIES TO- TO HEAR
PRESENTATIONS AND TO COMMENT ON
THE PRESENTATIONS THAT YOUR
YOUR BILL WOULD WOULD TAKE AWAY
THEIR LEGAL RIGHT TO CHALLENGE.
THE PROJECT- BY EXEMPTING ARMED
IF V. HELP METRO EXTENSION GOES
ALONG THE EXISTING RIGHT AWAY
YOU KNOW EVEN EVEN FOR ANY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF
CONSTRUCTING- LIGHT RAIL
STATION IN. LIGHT RAIL STATIONS
ACTUALLY THE TWO THAT ARE BEING
PROPOSED IN AND IN MY EXAMPLE
IN REDONDO BEACH AND IN
TORRANCE- DONE THAT AGAIN IT IT
SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT- TAKE
AWAY OF A LEGAL RIGHTS THAT.
THAT THAT MY CONSTITUENTS
CURRENTLY HAVE. TO BE A
CHALLENGE- THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS OF THESE PROPOSED
PRICES. YEAH TO THE CHAIR- A
COUPLE THINGS- THE GREEN LINE
PROJECT- SOMEONE JUST EMIND ME
AS A TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
PROJECT THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY
EASILY GOING TO CATEGORY WHERE
IT NEEDS TO OPEN A VIRAL CLEAR-
AS PART OF A REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION PLAN WITH FULL
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND
ANALYSIS. AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
A LAWSUIT IN ADDITION THIS IS A
COURTESY CALL EXEMPTION IT
DOESN'T BUY IT'S NOT A NEW
PROJECT SEACOR CHANGE AND SO
YOU CAN STILL APPEAL A SIMPLE
EXEMPTION. YOU CAN ALSO FILE A
LAWSUIT WANT TO SEE WHAT
EXEMPTION AND THIS ALSO DOES
NOT CHANGE ANY EXISTING
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS AIR
QUALITY STANDARDS- ANY OTHER
EXISTING REGULATORY OR
STATUTORY ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS AND IF THOSE ARE
BEING VIOLATED YOU CAN SUE ON
THOSE- SO THERE ARE STILL
PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE TO CHALLENGE PROJECTS
WOULD THINK THAT THERE ARE
ISSUES- AND BUT IT DOES MAKE
THAT CHANGE- IN TERMS OF THE-
THE WAY THE SICKLE PROCESS
WORKS. I THOUGHT AN EXEMPTION
TO SEQUEL. MEANS THAT IT'S NOT
COVERED BY SEQUEL SEQUEL
EXEMPTION AND I AND I- UGH
GOING BACK TO MY DAYS ON THE
SAN FRANCISCO WERE SUPERVISORS
WE HEARD. PLENTY OF SYKORA
APPEALS BASED ON EXEMPTIONS YOU
CAN APPEAL TO YOUR ELECTED BODY
BASED ON EXEMPTION BASED MEGA
DOGLE CENTER BASED ON A FULL
YEAR BY ALL AND THEN YOU IF YOU
THINK THAT THE LAW WAS VIOLATED
YOU CAN FILE. A LAWSUIT AND
COURSE. PROJECT IF YOU BELIEVE
INVITE VIOLATES SUBSTANTIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL. STANDARDS IN OUR
WATER. YOU CAN OF COURSE ALWAYS
TO ON THAT SO. THEY BILL EVEN
THOUGH IT'S A- ITS STILL
PRESERVES A LOT OF THE POCKETS
OF RESERVE POWER PROCESS- AND
IT STILL GIVES PEOPLE- THEIR
DAY AND THEIR ABILITY TO
PROVIDE. INPUT OR TO CHALLENGE
THE DECISION IF THEY THINK THAT
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH IT.
