IN ORDER TO TRULY LEAD THIS
CHARGE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE
PRIORITIZE ACCESSIBILITY FOR
ALL. UH, THIS INCLUDES MAKING
SURE THAT ALL E VÆ CHARGING
STATIONS ARE A Dð A ACCESSIBLE
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY RESOURCE
CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION. TO INCLUDE IN THEIR
CURRENT STUDIES. A BARRIERS
FACED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES AND ACCESSING
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE CHARGING
STATIONS. REVIEW EXISTING
REGULATIONS AND MAKE LEGISLATIVE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ENHANCE

, UM, FOR THOSE WITH MOBILITY
CHALLENGES IS COMMENDABLE AND AS
THIS BILL THROUGH THE

YOU TO CONTINUE REFINING THE
LANGUAGE, FEDERAL AND STATE
TECHNICAL GUIDANCE IS AVAILABLE
TO ASSIST IN DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF E VÆ CHARGING
STATIONS THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO

ALIGN WITH EXISTING GUIDANCE
THIS BILL ADDS REPORTING
COMPLEXIBILITY COMPLEXITY BY
CREATING A SEPARATE REPORT THAT
MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND ALSO
INCORPORATED INTO THE STATE'S
ASSESSMENT OF E VÆ CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE GOING FORWARD
THIS BE STREAMLINED BY AMENDING
THE BILL TO REQUIRE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON MOBILITY BE
PROVIDED ONLY WITHIN THE

MOVIE.
HERE, MIKE. CAN YOU CAN YOU HEAR
ME? OK? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. I
WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL AND FOR THEIR SUGGESTIONS.
I WAS HAPPY TO ACCEPT THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS. TODAY I AM
PROUD TO PRESENT A B 2002, WHICH
WOULD CREATE A BLUE ENVELOPE
PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA THAT WOULD
HELP INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES QUICKLY SHARE
INFORMATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERSONNEL. UNFORTUNATELY
COMMUNICATION BARRIERS CAN EXIST
BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE DISABLED
COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
DISABILITY ADVOCATES HAVE STATED
THAT DISABILITIES CAN MAKE IT
HARDER TO FOLLOW A POLICE
OFFICER'S ORDERS. FOR EXAMPLE,
PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF
HEARING MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR
WHAT THE OFFICER IS SAYING.
PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL
DISABILITIES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
FOLLOW AN OFFICER'S ORDERS TO
GET ON THE GROUND. OFFICERS MAY
INCORRECTLY INTERPRET STEMMING
SLURRED SPEECH OR SHAKING AS
THREATENING BEHAVIORS. THESE
MISCOMMUNICATIONS HAVE,
UNFORTUNATELY CONTRIBUTED TO
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER INSTANCES
OF USE OF FORCE AGAINST
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.
DATA SHOWS THAT INDIVIDUALS WITH
A DISABILITY WERE NÓ MORE LIKELY
TO BE SEARCHED. WE'RE MORE
LIKELY TO BE SEARCHED, DETAINED
ON THE CURB OR IN A PATROL CAR.
HANDCUFFED OVER INDIVIDUALS
WITHOUT A DISABILITY. THAT'S WHY
I'VE PARTNERED WITH DISABILITY
ADVOCATES, SERVICE CENTERS AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUPS TO EXPAND
ON EXISTING PROGRAMS IN SAN
DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES AND
CREATE A STATEWIDE BLUE ENVELOPE
PROGRAM. A B 2002 WOULD CREATE A
STATEWIDE DISABILITY IDENTIFIER
KNOWN AS THE BLUE ENVELOPE WHERE
PARTICIPANTS COULD VOLUNTARILY
INFORM LAW ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR
COMMUNICATION NEEDS BY
PRESENTING A BLUE ENVELOPE THAT
CONTAIN THEIR I Dð LICENSE AND
REGISTRATION WHILE ALSO
OUTLINING SPECIFIC
ACCOMMODATIONS THEY MAY REQUIRE
DURING AN INTERACTION THE BILL
REQUIRES THE ENVELOPE TO BE
DEVELOPED WITH INPUT FROM
STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING
DISABILITY RIGHTS ADVOCATES AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT. AS A MINIMUM
REQUIREMENT. THE ENVELOPE MUST
INCLUDE BASIC SAFETY REGARDING
SAFETY TIPS REGARDING TRAFFIC
STOPS, RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
RESPONDING LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER AND BLANK AREAS WHERE
THE INDIVIDUAL CAN ADD AN
EMERGENCY CONTACT AND RE
RELEVANT COMMENTS RELATED TO THE
POTENTIAL COMMUNICATION
LIMITATIONS RELATED TO THEIR
DISABILITY. I FEEL IT'S
IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
PARTICIPATION IN THIS PROGRAM
WOULD BE COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY
AND PARTICIPATING. INDIVIDUALS
MAY USE THE ENVELOPE AT THEIR
SOLE DISCRETION. THERE IS NÓ
REGISTRY COMPONENT ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS PROGRAM. A B 200 TWO'S
CREATION OF A STATEWIDE BEP IS
DESIGNED TO HELP MITIGATE THE
POSSIBILITY OF NEGATIVE OUTCOMES
THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF
MISUNDERSTANDINGS DURING
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES. TESTIFYING TO WITH
ME TODAY IS TERRY COACHES WHO IS
A SAN DIEGO, PARENT OF A CHILD
WITH AUTISM. AND NADIA MOSHIN.
BIND HER UP WITH THE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND
ALSO JULIO DE LEÓN WITH THE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT IS AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. HELLO. THANK YOU. UM
MY NAME IS TERRY COACHES. I'M A
RESIDENT AT SAN DIEGO. AND I'M
ALSO UM, ON THE BOARD OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF REGIONAL CENTER
AGENCIES. BUT I'M HERE AS A
PARENT. I HAVE A 25 YEAR OLD UM,
DAUGHTER THAT IS A NONSPEAKING
AUTISTIC WITH SEVERE BEHAVIOR
PROBLEMS, AND OVER THE YEARS
WE'VE RUN INTO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT ISSUES. IT IS
INCREDIBLY HARD TO TRANSPORT HER
AND ANY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF HER
DISABILITY. SHE'LL OFTEN TAKE
OFF HER SEAT BELT. SHE'LL TRY TO
REACH FOR CLOTHES OR HAIR OR
YOUR STEERING WHEEL OR WHATEVER,
AND THERE'S A LOT OF TIMES WHERE
I HAVE TO PULL OFF INTO A
PARKING LOT OR ON THE SIDE OF
THE ROAD. UM UNTIL THINGS
DEESCALATED AND THERE HAVE BEEN
TIMES WHERE THERE'S LAW
ENFORCEMENT, THEY'RE THEY'RE
JUST KIND OF LIKE WHAT'S GOING
ON. UM THE WORST. THE WORST
INCIDENT WAS WHEN WE WERE ON THE
FREEWAY, AND WE WERE GOING OFF.
UM AN OFF RAMP AND THERE IS NÓ
SHOULDER AND SHE WENT TO GRAB MY
HAIR AND PULL ME IN THE BACK
SEAT AND I HAD TO PULL OVER WITH
NÓ SHOULDER AND IT BLOCKED THE
FREEWAY. IT CAUSED ALL THIS
PROBLEM. AND WHEN THE POLICE
OFFICERS FINALLY GOT THERE, THEY
JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. AND
SO THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE HER
INTO CUSTODY BECAUSE THEY HAD NÓ
IDEA WHAT WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND
I FEEL LIKE THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS HAVE THE SAME
PROBLEM BECAUSE OUR KIDS OFTEN
PRESENT AS POORLY BEHAVED MAY BE
COMBATIVE AND I FEEL LIKE FOR ME
AND FOR SO MANY PEOPLE THAT I
KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING LIKE
A BLUE ENVELOPE PROGRAM THAT
COULD REALLY HELP DE ESCALATE
THINGS, BECAUSE, UM, IF LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE, UM,
MORE EDUCATED, FIRST OF ALL, IT
WOULD BE AWESOME FOR BOTH
PARTIES. AND I THINK THAT, UM I
THINK THAT IT WOULD JUST REALLY
HELP TO NOT HAVE TO TALK. UM
ABOUT THE SITUATION, TOO. A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN FRONT OF
THE PERSON WITH A DISABILITY
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THAT
ESCALATES THINGS, TOO. SO I
HIGHLY SUPPORT THIS, AND I HOPE
THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS, TOO
BECAUSE I THINK THAT THERE'S
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA THAT COULD BENEFIT
FROM THIS THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MADAM
CHAIR AND HONORABLE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. MY NAME IS NADIA
MOSHIRI BINDERUP, AND I AM THE
SPECIAL ASSISTANT
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS
DIRECTOR FOR èC N Ó COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ON BEHALF
OF KELLY MARTINEZ, OUR SHERIFF,
WE ARE HONORED TO COSPONSOR A B
2002. OUR BLUE ENVELOPE PROGRAM
HAS GARNERED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
FROM THE SANO COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS AS WELL AS OUR
REGIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES. HOWEVER THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF THIS
PROGRAM FOR US IS THE
PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN IN
PLACE WITH OUR COMMUNITY
PARTNERS. SAN DIEGO SINCE ITS
INCEPTION THIS PAST SEPTEMBER,
UM, MAKING IT REALLY A WELL
RECEIVED REGIONAL BLUE ENVELOPE
PROGRAM. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S
LAUNCH, WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED MORE
THAN 7400 PHYSICAL BLUE
ENVELOPES THROUGHOUT THE REGION,
AND THIS IS IN THE COLLECTIVE
EFFORT WITH OUR COMMUNITY
PARTNERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES. UM OF THOSE PARTNERS,
AND THE NUMBER CONTINUES TO GROW
IS THAT WE'RE AT 35 COMMUNITY
PARTNERS. UM THAT CONTAINS, UM,
THE RANGE FROM THE SAN DIEGO
CENTER FOR THE BLIND. SPECIAL
OLYMPICS. SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO
VETERAN COALITION AS WELL AS THE
AUTISM, AUTISM SOCIETY OF SAN
DIEGO AND THE INTERNATIONAL
BIPOLAR FOUNDATION, JUST TO NAME
A FEW WE MEET REGULARLY WITH OUR
STAKEHOLDERS TO NOT ONLY DISCUSS
PROGRAM DETAILS, BUT TO GLEAN
FROM EACH OTHER'S PERSPECTIVES.
UM AND REALLY LEARN ABOUT WAYS
LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN ENHANCE OUR
SERVICE DELIVERY. WHAT
INTERACTING WITH THIS BROAD
RANGE OF, UM COMMUNITY PARTNERS
AND STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE
IMPACTED BY THIS PROGRAM. IT IS
A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL
RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE LAW
ENFORCEMENT'S COMPETENCY
TRAININGS THAT THEY GET FROM THE
ACADEMY AND CONTINUED
PROFESSIONAL TRAININGS ARE
CONTINUED AND EXPANDED AS HE
DIALOGUES CONTINUE TO PROGRESS,
AND WE LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT
NUANCES ALONG THE WAY. JUST
RECENTLY, WE LEARNED OF A 22
YEAR OLD MALE WITH AUTISM WHO
HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING.
UM HE JUMPED A CURB AND HIT THE
SIDEWALK AND REALLY CAUSED
SEVERE DAMAGE TO HIS VEHICLE.
THE DRIVER PROVIDED HIS BLUE
ENVELOPE TO ONE OF OUR SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY IN A CALM FASHION FROM
THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, AND THE
DEPUTY COMPETED ON HOW THE
DRIVER WAS ORGANIZED WITH ALL
THE ENVELOPE MATERIAL AND
REMAINED CALM AND COMPOSED
DURING THE INTERACTION. UH, WE
LATER LEARNED FROM THAT
INDIVIDUAL'S FATHER THAT WHAT
WOULD OTHERWISE BE A TUMULTUOUS
EXPERIENCE AND EVENT FOR HIS SON
TURN INTO A SUPPORTIVE AND
POSITIVE EXPERIENCE DESPITE THE
CAR ACCIDENT, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS
EXPOSURE TO THE BLUE ENVELOPE
THAT REASSURED HIM AND PROVIDED
A SENSE OF COMFORT AND EASE.
MA'AM, I HAVE TO HAVE YOU WRAP
UP. SURE. UM, IT IS FOR THESE
REASONS THAT THE SAN COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK
YOU. UM IS THERE ANY OTHER
MEMBERS IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS
TIME NAME? POSITION AND
ORGANIZATION. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS, USHA MALER ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SHERIFFS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF A B.
UH, 202. THANK YOU SEEING
ANOTHER. ARE THERE ANY, UH,
PRIMARY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION?
SEEING NONE. IS THERE ANY, UM,
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE IN
OPPOSITION WHO WOULD LIKE TO
PROVIDE A NAME, ORGANIZATION OR
POSITION? SEE NAN MOVING TO
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR
THEIR, UM ANY COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS, ALL RIGHT? UM I'LL
JUST KNOW, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU.
SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH THE
COMMITTEE ON THE MINOR TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS PRIOR TO THIS HEARING
, BRING US HERE TODAY. I
APPRECIATE YOUR ATTEMPT TO
IMPROVE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES, UM REALLY, LAW
ENFORCEMENT, UM, REALLY HAS TO
TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT. AND
THAT TAKES TIME CARE AND
CONSIDERATION. NÓ MATTER YOUR
ABILITY NÓ MATTER YOUR ETHNICITY
NÓ MATTER YOUR SOCIO ECONOMIC
BACKGROUND. UM THE DATA PROVIDED
IN THIS COMMITTEE ANALYSIS SHOWS
THAT DISTURBING TREND OF A
GREATER PROPORTION OF
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
BEING SEARCHED, DETAINED AND
HANDCUFFED COMPARED TO OTHERS.
I'M CONCERNED, THOUGH, THAT THE
BLUE ENVELOPE OR LACK OF ONE
COULD POSSIBLY BE USED AGAINST
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
AND THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE
ON THE TRAINING FRONT TO ENSURE
BETTER OUTCOMES. I'M ALSO
CONCERNED ABOUT THE CURRENT
FISCAL HEALTH OF Dð, M VÆ AND
THE WORKLOAD. UH THIS BILL WOULD
BE PLACED ON THEM. I WILL BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL TODAY, BUT
I URGE YOU TO CONFINE A MORE
APPROPRIATE AGENCY TO LEAD THE
EFFORT OF CREATING AND
DISTRIBUTING THESE BLUE
ENVELOPES. UM THEN Dð MB. WE DID
HAVE A MOTION FROM VICE CHAIR
FONG AND A, UH, SECOND FROM
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO I'LL GIVE YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE BEFORE
THE VOTE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR
. THANK YOU FOR THE
CONSIDERATION OF A B 2002. IT'S
A VITALLY IMPORTANT MEASURE THAT
CAN HELP NOT ONLY IMPROVE
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MEMBERS OF
THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, BUT EVEN
SAVE LIVES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR I VOTE ON THIS MEASURE.
SECRETARY COULD YOU CALL THE
ROLL? WILSON. HØI WILSON. I
FONG. AND WE ARE CURRY. WE ARE
CURRY. I. BERMAN BERMAN. I KO KO
I DAVIES ART. JACKSON JACKSON,
I, LOWENTHAL LOWENTHAL. I PIN UP
AN EYE. SANCHEZ. SANCHEZ, I TA
UH, I THINK WORD W. WELL HOLD
THAT OPEN THE ROLE OPEN FOR
MEMBERS TO ADD ON MOVING TO OUR
FINAL BILL PRESENTATION TODAY.
UM ITEM NUMBER FOUR A B 1798 P.
AT YOUR CONVENIENCE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR WILSON AND
MEMBERS. UM I'M HERE TO PRESENT
A B 1798, WHICH WE CALL THE
SALMON ACT, AND IT WILL REQUIRE
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A
STRATEGY TO ELIMINATE A TOXIC
ADDITIVE FOUND IN VEHICLE TIRES
KNOWN AS SIX PP Dð. FROM STORM
WATER DISCHARGE FLOWING INTO
SALMON BEARING SURFACE WATERS.
SIX PP Dð HAS BEEN MEASURED IN
CALIFORNIA'S STREAMS AT
CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THOSE SHOWN
TO KILL AT LEAST HALF OF SALMON
POPULATIONS IN LABORATORY
EXPERIMENTS. THE LOSS OF COHO
SALMON IN CALIFORNIA HAS MAJOR
ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS
TO THE STATE. NATIVE SALMON
SPECIES REPRESENT THE FOUNDATION
FOR CALIFORNIA'S $500 MILLION
FISHING INDUSTRY, AND THOUSANDS
OF FISHERS RELY ON SALMON FOR
THEIR INCOME AND LIVELIHOODS.
FORTUNATELY BIO BIO FILTRATION
AND BIO RETENTION SYSTEMS, WHICH
ARE READILY AVAILABLE STORM
WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
EFFECTIVELY TREAT THE RUNOFF OF
SIX PB Dð IN TERMS OF BOTH TOXIC
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE AND SALMON
SPRA SPAWN SPAWNER SURVIVAL. UM
A B 1798 WILL DIRECT THE
DEPARTMENT TO IDENTIFY LOCATIONS
WHERE HIGHWAYS ACROSS SALMON AND
STEELHEAD BEARING WATERS. WHERE
I WAS CROSS. UM, EXCUSE ME,
SALMON AND STEEL HAD BEARING
WATERS. ADDITIONALLY THIS
MEASURE WILL DIRECT CRAN TO
STUDY THE FEASIBILITY AND COST
EFFECTIVENESS OF INSTALLING AND
MAINTAINING BIO RETENTION AND
BIO FILTRATION SYSTEMS THROUGH A
PILOT PROGRAM IN FIVE COUNTIES.
TO BUILD A STRONG, SAFE AND
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR
CALIFORNIA. WE MUST TAKE ACTION
AND PRESERVE THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF OUR AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL IS CODY
PHILLIPS WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COAST KEEPERS ALLIANCE. UH,
CHAIR WILSON AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. MY NA ME IS CODY
PHILLIPS WITH CALIFORNIA COAST
KEEPER ALLIANCE. AS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER, PAPA NOTED SIX PP Dð IS
FOUND IN ESSENTIALLY EVERY MOTOR
VEHICLE TIRE ON THE ROAD. UM
THESE CHEMICALS UH SIX PP Dð N
A TRANSFORMATION PRODUCT SIX PP
Dð Q HAVE LETHAL AND SUBLETHAL
EFFECTS ON A VARIETY OF FISH.
THEY WORK BY PENETRATING THE
FISH'S BLOOD BRAIN BARRIERS AND
DISRUPTING IT. AND MICROPLASTIC
TYRO PARTICLES ARE EVERYWHERE.
UM IN FACT, THEY'RE THE MOST
COMMON FORM OF POLLUTION IN THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND RESEARCH
AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF HèA HAS
NOTED, UH, HAS FOUND THAT BIO
FILTRATION IS EXTREMELY
EFFECTIVE. PREVENTING THIS
POLLUTION FROM GETTING INTO OUR
WATERWAYS. IF YOU'RE UNFAMILIAR
BY A FILTRATION IS BASICALLY
JUST AN ENGINEERED SOIL MATRIX,
THEN CLAY SAND AND BIOCHAR. IT
STOPS THE DIRTY WATER FROM
GETTING INTO THE WATERWAYS. SO
THIS BILL ANSWERS THE HOW, WHEN
AND WHERE OF HOW WE DEAL WITH
THIS ISSUE. UM THERE'S THE WHERE
SO WE ASKED, UH, CALTRANS TO MAP
OUT THE INTERSECTIONS OF, UM,
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED SALMON
HABITAT AND STORMWATER DISCHARGE
POINTS. THERE'S THE HOW WE ASK
THEM TO CONDUCT A FEW REGIONAL
PROJECTS TO IDENTIFY THE MOST
COST EFFECTIVE WAY OF DOING THIS
AND THE WHEN WHICH IS TO DEVELOP
A STRATEGY OVER THE LONG TERM TO
IMPLEMENT THESE PROJECTS. THIS
INFORMATION WILL HELP CALTRANS
IMPLEMENT THIS PROJECT BUT ALSO
GIVE THE STATE WATER BOARD THE
VAL. DATA THAT IT NEEDS TO
INCORPORATE SOME OF THIS
RESEARCH INTO CALTRANS. EXISTING
STORMWATER PERMIT. UH, FOR THIS
TYPE OF DISCHARGE, AND BIO
FILTRATION HAS A LOT OF CO
BENEFITS. IT DOESN'T JUST WORK
FOR, UH SIX PP Dð. IT WORKS FOR
OILS, GREASES HEAVY METALS
PRETTY MUCH ALL THE STUFF THAT
COMES OFF OF CARS THAT CALTRANS
IN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYWAY. UM
TO ZOOM OUT ON A LARGER POLICY
ISSUE HERE AS WELL. UH, SIX PP
Dð IS A PRESSING CONCERN, UH,
FOR CALIFORNIA'S ALREADY
IMPAIRED SALMON, BUT FOR THE
MOST PART, IT'S SLIPPED UNDER
THE RADAR. UH, RIGHT NOW THE
STATE IS HEAVILY INVESTED IN
RECOVERING SALMON. UM, THIS IS
EVIDENCE THROUGH GOVERNOR NEWSOM
SALMON STRATEGY AND èC Dð FW
GAVE OUT $50 MILLION IN S¼ A
RECOVERY GRANTS. JUST LAST WEEK.
SIX PP Dð WAS NOT MENTIONED IN
ANY OF THOSE REPORTS OR ACTIONS.
UM AND A FAILURE TO ADDRESS IT
NOW CAN REALLY UNDERCUT THE
STATE'S SALMON RECOVERY EFFORTS.
UM, IN CLOSING. THIS BILL
PROVIDES THE SYSTEMATIC WAY OF
INCORPORATING SIX PP Dð
MITIGATION INTO THE STATE'S
EXISTING CLEAN WATER FRAMEWORK
AND DOES SO IN A WAY THAT
PROVIDES A HOST OF OTHER CLEAN
WATER CO BENEFITS. UM IN
CLOSING, I URGE YOUR I VOTE ON
THE SALMON ACT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ARE THERE OTHER ANY MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE IN SUPPORT
? UM PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR NAME
ORGANIZATION AND POSITION. GOOD

BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD TO
RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS
POLLUTANT COMING FROM VEHICLE
TIRES. THE LEGISLATURE MUST
CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE
STEWARDS OF OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES BY MANAGING WHERE
HARMFUL RUNOFF FROM OUR
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM INTERSECTS
WITH SENSITIVE HABITATS. I'M
GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS BILL HAS
BEEN NARROWED IN SCOPE FROM LAST
