Subject: Aliso Canyon Climate Impacts Mitigation Program Comment: On behalf of Sequoia ForestKeeper, I submit the following recommendations concerning the Aliso Canyon Climate Impacts Mitigation Program: 1: SoCalGasCo/Sempra shall be required to heavily subsidize the production and installation of anaerobic dairy manure-related gas biodigesters in California. 2: SCGC/Sempra shall be required to heavily subsidize the widespread construction of freestall dairy barn enclosures with methane captured and vented to biofilters in California. 3: SCGC/Sempra shall be required to heavily subsidize a fund that will finance livestock herd size reduction in California (in order to reduce statewide, cattle-related enteric methane emissions) and enable the meaningful mitigation of environmental justice-related impacts associated with dairies and gas wells throughout California. 4: SCGC/Sempra shall be taxed as a mitigation for the Aliso Canyon natural gas well blowout, with the fine set at the rate of 100% of the value per ton of CH4 released based upon the social and environmental cost of one ton of atmospheric methane emission, as documented in The social cost of atmospheric release, Drew T. Shindell, Climatic Change (2015) 130:313–326, DOI 10.1007/s10584-015-1343-0, page 319, Table 2, Median total; declining rate." That value is 4700 dollars per ton, in 2007 U.S. dollars.
