Subject | Zero Waste Measures Must Be Included in Scoping Plan |
Comment | The emissions reductions associated with Measure RW-3 High Recycling/Zero Waste should definitely be counted toward the AB 32 goal in the October 2008 Proposed Scoping Plan (Plan). Specifically, footnote #43 in Table 20 on page 63, Section II.15 Recycling and Waste, states, "Reductions from RW-2 and RW-3 are not counted toward the AB 32 goal." The Scoping Plan must be amended to include Measure RW-3. The goal of Zero Waste is a direct link to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the Plan recommends no specific actions or policies to implement RW-3, again an untenable oversight. We urge CIWMB & CARB to take urgent action to ensure that the Plan is revised to count RW-3 emissions reductions towards the AB 32 goal, and to add specific actions and policies to achieve RW-3 reductions, including: mandatory commercial recycling; phase-out of diversion credit for green waste alternative daily cover; and adoption of Extended Producer Responsibility framework legislation. |
