No Impact. As described previously, AB 32 identified a 2020 target level for GliG emissions in California of 427 MMT of C02e, which is approximately 28.5% less than the year 2020 BAU emissions estimate of 596 MMT C02e. To achieve these GHG reductions there will have to be widespread reductions of GHG emissions across California. Some of those reductions will need to come in the form of changes in vehicle emissions and mileage standards, changes in the sources of electricity, and increases in energy efficiency by existing facilities. The remainder will need to come from requiring new facility development to have lower carbon intensity than BAU conditions. Therefore, this analysis uses a threshold of significance that is in conformance with the state's goals. On December 12, 2008, ARB adopted the AB 32 Scoping Plan, which details specific GHG emission reduction measures that target specific GHG emissions sources. While none of the Scoping Plan measures are directly applicable to the proposed project, nevertheless, project-related GHG emissions would be reduced as a result of several AB 32 Scoping Plan measures. The Scoping Plan considers a range of actions that include direct regulations, alternative compliance mechanisms, monetary and non-monetary incentives, voluntary actions, and market based mechanisms (e.g., cap- and-trade system. Some examples include the following: • Mobile-source GHG emissions reduction measures o Pavley emissions standards (19.8% reduction) o Low carbon fuel standard (7.2% reduction) o Vehicle efficiency measures (2.8% reduction) Energy production related GHG emissions reduction measures o Natural gas transmission and distribution efficiency measures (7.4% reduction) The Sat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3-43 June 2013 initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration CIF 00215.12 31 C-96
