Evening Community Meeting: Clean Transportation Incentives for a Cleaner California: Beginning on March 18 via remote access, CARB will be hosting a series of monthly evening community meetings on the third Tuesday of most months. The purpose of these meetings is to host focused discussions on CARB’s Clean Transportation Incentives Funding Plan Development Process, which explains how CARB will spend money on projects related to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) and improving air quality. Although the Funding Plan is generally developed between May and November, CARB staff will continue to hold monthly evening community meetings outside of the Funding Plan development timeline to provide updates on incentive project implementation, other CARB initiatives, as well as to provide a forum for community members to express their thoughts, concerns, suggestions, and to ask relevant questions. For more information, please see the community meeting web page.
SB 1137 - Development of Performance Standards for Emission Detection Systems Workshop: On March 19-20 via remote access, CARB will be hosting two public workshops conducted jointly with the California Department of Conservation Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) to discuss joint rulemaking activities related to California Senate Bill 1137 (SB 1137). CARB’s presentation will focus on the development of performance standards for the emissions detection systems required within the leak detection and response plans (LDRP) that operators of oil and gas production wells and production facilities located within 3,200 feet of certain populated areas (health protection zones) must submit to CalGEM for approval under the new legislation. CalGEM’s presentation will focus on the process of making permanent emergency regulations regarding health protection zones for oil and gas operations.
