(1) Under existing law, every air pollution control district or air quality management district governing board, except as specified, is required to establish by regulation a system by which all reductions in the emission of air contaminants that are to be used to offset certain future increases in the emission of air contaminants are required to be banked prior to use to offset future increases in emissions, as provided. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report (EIR) on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA exempts certain specified projects from its requirements. This bill would require the executive officer of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, upon making a specified finding, to transfer emission reduction credits for certain pollutants from the south coast district's internal emission credit accounts to eligible electrical generating facilities, as described. By imposing these duties on the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would exempt from CEQA certain actions of the district undertaken pursuant to the bill. These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2012. The bill would require the State Air Resources Board, in consultation with specified agencies, to prepare and submit to the Governor and the Legislature a report that evaluates the electrical system reliability needs of the South Coast Air Basin and recommends the most effective and efficient means of meeting those needs while ensuring compliance with state and federal law. (2) This bill would state the findings and declarations of the Legislature concerning the need for special legislation. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
