3.7 Less Than Significant n/a
ES.2 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
The Project would be required to comply with regulations imposed by the State of California and
the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) aimed at the reduction of air
pollutant emissions. Those that are directly and indirectly applicable to the Project and that
would assist in the reduction of GHG emissions include:
• Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill (AB) 32) (2).
• Regional GHG Emissions Reduction Targets/Sustainable Communities Strategies (Senate Bill (SB)
375) (3).
• Pavley Fuel Efficiency Standards (AB 1493). Establishes fuel efficiency ratings for new vehicles (4).
• California Building Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations (CCR)) and CALGreen standards.
Establishes energy efficiency requirements for new construction (5).
• Appliance Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 20 CCR). Establishes energy efficiency requirements
for appliances (6).
• Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Requires carbon content of fuel sold in California to be 10
percent (%) less by 2020 (7).
• California Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006 (AB 1881). Requires local agencies to
adopt the Department of Water Resources updated Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance or
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
10
equivalent by January 1, 2010, to ensure efficient landscapes in new development and reduced
water waste in existing landscapes (8).
• Statewide Retail Provider Emissions Performance Standards (SB 1368). Requires energy
generators to achieve performance standards for GHG emissions (9).
• Renewable Portfolio Standards (SB 1078 – also referred to as RPS). Requires electric corporations
to increase the amount of energy obtained from eligible renewable energy resources to 20% by
2010 and 33% by 2020 (10).
• California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (SB 32). Requires the state to reduce statewide
GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, a reduction target that was first introduced in
Executive Order B-30-15 (11).
Promulgated regulations that will affect the Project’s emissions are accounted for in the Project’s
GHG calculations provided in this report. In particular, AB 1493, LCFS, and RPS, and therefore are
accounted for in the Project’s emission calculations.
ES.3 SWIP EIR MITIGATION MEASURES
The Project site is located within the SWIP Specific Plan (SP) area. As such, the Project is required
to incorporate applicable mitigation measures from the SWIP EIR. Because these measures are a
requirement for implementing projects within the SWIP SP, they are not considered to be project-
specific mitigation measures. The SWIP EIR mitigation measures for greenhouse gases are shown
below. However, as a conservative measure, to provide a worst-case disclosure of the Project's
impacts, no reduction in emissions has been assumed from the following measures.
MM 4.2-5a from SWIP EIR
Prior to the issuance of building permits, future development projects shall demonstrate the
incorporation of project design features that achieve a minimum of 28.5 percent reduction in
GHG emissions from business as usual conditions. Future projects shall include, but not be limited
to, the following list of potential design features.
Energy Efficiency
• Design buildings to be energy efficient and exceed Title 24 requirements by at least 5 percent.
• Install efficient lighting and lighting control systems. Site and design building to take advantage of
daylight.
• Use trees, landscaping and sun screens on west and south exterior building walls to reduce energy
use.
• Install light colored “cool” roofs and cool pavements.
• Provide information on energy management services for large energy users.
• Install energy efficient heating and cooling systems, appliances and equipment, and control
systems (e.g., minimum of Energy Star rated equipment).
• Implement design features to increase the efficiency of the building envelope (i.e., the barrier
between conditioned and unconditioned spaces).
• Install light emitting diodes (LEDs) for traffic, street and other outdoor lighting.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
11
• Limit the hours of operation of outdoor lighting.
Renewable Energy
• Install solar panels on carports and over parking areas. Ensure buildings are designed to have
“solar ready” roofs.
• Use combined heat and power in appropriate applications.
Water Conservation and Efficiency
• Create water-efficient landscapes with a preference for a xeriscape landscape palette.
• Install water-efficient irrigation systems and devices, such as soil moisture-based irrigation
controls.
• Design buildings to be water efficient. Install water-efficient fixtures and appliances (e.g., EPA
WaterSense labeled products).
• Restrict watering methods (e.g., prohibit systems that apply water to non-vegetated surfaces) and
control runoff.
• Restrict the use of water for cleaning outdoor surfaces and vehicles.
• Implement low-impact development practices that maintain the existing hydrologic character of
the site to manage storm water and protect the environment. (Retaining storm water runoff on-
site can drastically reduce the need for energy-intensive imported water at the site).
• Devise a comprehensive water conservation strategy appropriate for the project and location. The
strategy may include many of the specific items listed above, plus other innovative measures that
are appropriate to the specific project.
• Provide education about water conservation and available programs and incentives.
Solid Waste Measures
• Reuse and recycle construction and demolition waste (including, but not limited to, soil,
vegetation, concrete, lumber, metal, and cardboard).
• Provide interior and exterior storage areas for recyclables and green waste and adequate
recycling containers located in public areas.
• Provide education and publicity about reducing waste and available recycling services.
Transportation and Motor Vehicles
• Limit idling time for commercial vehicles, including delivery and construction vehicles.
• Promote ride sharing programs (e.g., by designating a certain percentage of parking spaces for
ride sharing vehicles, designating adequate passenger loading and unloading and waiting areas
for ride sharing vehicles, and providing a web site or message board for coordinating rides).
• Create local “light vehicle” networks, such as neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) systems.
• Provide the necessary facilities and infrastructure to encourage the use of low or zero-emission
vehicles (e.g., electric vehicle charging facilities and conveniently located alternative fueling
stations).
• Promote “least polluting” ways to connect people and goods to their destinations.
• Incorporate bicycle lanes and routes into street systems, new subdivisions, and large
developments.

• Incorporate bicycle-friendly intersections into street design.
• For commercial projects, provide adequate bicycle parking near building entrances to promote
cyclist safety, security, and convenience. For large employers, provide facilities that encourage
bicycle commuting (e.g., locked bicycle storage or covered or indoor bicycle parking).
• Create bicycle lanes and walking paths directed to the location of schools, parks and other
destination points.

1 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of the GHGA prepared by Urban Crossroads, Inc., for the
proposed Birtcher Logistics Center (Project). The purpose of this GHGA is to evaluate Project-
related construction and operational emissions and determine the level of GHG impacts as a
result of constructing and operating the Project.
1.1 SITE LOCATION
The proposed project is located on the southwest corner of Santa Ana Avenue and Banana
Avenue in the City of Fontana. The Project location is shown on Exhibit 1-A. The Project Site is
generally located south of the I-10 Freeway with the nearest residential uses located south of the
Project site.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project includes the development of a total of 341,838 square feet (sf) of
warehouse use. For the purposes of this analysis, 20% of the total square footage (68,370 sf) will
be evaluated as high-cube cold storage use and 80% (273,470 sf) will be evaluated as
unrefrigerated warehouse use. The Project site plan is shown on Exhibit 1-B. The Project is
anticipated to be developed within a single phase with an Opening Year of 2023.
It is expected that the Project business operations would primarily be conducted within the
enclosed buildings, except for traffic movement, parking, as well as loading and unloading of
trucks at designated loading bays. This analysis includes a conservative assumption of on-site
Project-related emission sources for potential future tenants, including architectural coatings,
consumer products, landscape maintenance equipment, natural gas, electricity, mobile
operations, and on-site cargo handling equipment. This analysis is intended to describe air quality
impacts associated with the expected typical operational activities at the Project site. To present
a conservative approach, this report assumes the Project would operate 24-hours daily for seven
days per week.
Per the Birtcher Logistics Center Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Screening Evaluation prepared by
Urban Crossroads, Inc., the Project is expected to generate a total of approximately 584 vehicular
trips per day, which includes 204 truck trips per day (5).

2 CLIMATE CHANGE SETTING
2.1 INTRODUCTION TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE (GCC)
GCC is defined as the change in average meteorological conditions on the earth with respect to
temperature, precipitation, and storms. The majority of scientists believe that the climate shift
taking place since the Industrial Revolution is occurring at a quicker rate and magnitude than in
the past. Scientific evidence suggests that GCC is the result of increased concentrations of GHGs
in the earth’s atmosphere, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
and fluorinated gases. The majority of scientists believe that this increased rate of climate change
is the result of GHGs resulting from human activity and industrialization over the past 200 years.
An individual project like the proposed Project evaluated in this GHGA cannot generate enough
GHG emissions to affect a discernible change in global climate. However, the proposed Project
may participate in the potential for GCC by its incremental contribution of GHGs combined with
the cumulative increase of all other sources of GHGs, which when taken together constitute
potential influences on GCC. Because these changes may have serious environmental
consequences, Section 3.0 will evaluate the potential for the proposed Project to have a
significant effect upon the environment as a result of its potential contribution to the greenhouse
effect.
2.2 GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE DEFINED
GCC refers to the change in average meteorological conditions on the earth with respect to
temperature, wind patterns, precipitation, and storms. Global temperatures are regulated by
naturally occurring atmospheric gases such as water vapor, CO2, N2O, CH4, hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). These particular gases are
important due to their residence time (duration they stay) in the atmosphere, which ranges from
10 years to more than 100 years. These gases allow solar radiation into the earth’s atmosphere,
but prevent radioactive heat from escaping, thus warming the earth’s atmosphere. GCC can occur
naturally as it has in the past with the previous ice ages.
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are often referred to as GHGs. GHGs are released into
the atmosphere by both natural and anthropogenic activity. Without the natural GHG effect, the
earth’s average temperature would be approximately 61 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) cooler than it is
currently. The cumulative accumulation of these gases in the earth’s atmosphere is considered
to be the cause for the observed increase in the earth’s temperature.
2.3 GHGS
2.3.1 GHGS AND HEALTH EFFECTS
GHGs trap heat in the atmosphere, creating a GHG effect that results in global warming and
climate change. Many gases demonstrate these properties and as discussed in Table 2-1. For the
purposes of this analysis, emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O were evaluated (see Table 3-1 later in
this report) because these gases are the primary contributors to GCC from development projects.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
19
Although there are other substances such as fluorinated gases that also contribute to GCC, these
fluorinated gases were not evaluated as their sources are not well-defined and do not contain
accepted emissions factors or methodology to accurately calculate these gases.
TABLE 2-1: GHGS
GHGs Description Sources Health Effects
Water Water is the most abundant,
important, and variable GHG in
the atmosphere. Water vapor is
not considered a pollutant; in
the atmosphere it maintains a
climate necessary for life.
Changes in its concentration are
primarily considered to be a
result of climate feedbacks
related to the warming of the
atmosphere rather than a direct
result of industrialization.
Climate feedback is an indirect,
or secondary, change, either
positive or negative, that occurs within the climate system in
response to a forcing
mechanism. The feedback loop
in which water is involved is
critically important to projecting future climate change.
As the temperature of the
atmosphere rises, more water is
evaporated from ground storage
(rivers, oceans, reservoirs, soil).
Because the air is warmer, the
relative humidity can be higher
(in essence, the air is able to
‘hold’ more water when it is warmer), leading to more water
vapor in the atmosphere. As a
GHG, the higher concentration of
water vapor is then able to
absorb more thermal indirect
energy radiated from the Earth,
thus further warming the
atmosphere. The warmer
atmosphere can then hold more
water vapor and so on and so
on. This is referred to as a
“positive feedback loop.” The
extent to which this positive
feedback loop would continue is
The main source of
water vapor is
evaporation from
the oceans
(approximately
85%). Other sources
include evaporation
from other water
bodies, sublimation
(change from solid to
gas) from sea ice and
snow, and
transpiration from
plant leaves.
There are no known direct
health effects related to
water vapor at this time. It
should be noted however
that when some pollutants
react with water vapor, the
reaction forms a transport
mechanism for some of
these pollutants to enter the
human body through water vapor.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report

GHGs Description Sources Health Effects
unknown as there are also
dynamics that hold the positive feedback loop in check. As an
example, when water vapor
increases in the atmosphere,
more of it would eventually
condense into clouds, which are
more able to reflect incoming
solar radiation (thus allowing
less energy to reach the earth’s
surface and heat it up) (13).
CO2 CO2 is an odorless and colorless
GHG. Since the industrial
revolution began in the mid-
1700s, the sort of human activity
that increases GHG emissions
has increased dramatically in
scale and distribution. Data from
the past 50 years suggests a
corollary increase in levels and
concentrations. As an example,
prior to the industrial revolution,
CO2 concentrations were fairly
stable at 280 parts per million
(ppm). Today, they are around
370 ppm, an increase of more
than 30%. Left unchecked, the
concentration of CO2 in the
atmosphere is projected to
increase to a minimum of 540
ppm by 2100 as a direct result of
anthropogenic sources (14).
CO2 is emitted from
natural and
manmade sources.
Natural sources
include: the
decomposition of
dead organic matter;
respiration of
bacteria, plants,
animals, and fungus;
evaporation from
oceans; and volcanic
outgassing.
Anthropogenic
sources include: the
burning of coal, oil,
natural gas, and
wood. CO2 is
naturally removed
from the air by
photosynthesis,
dissolution into
ocean water,
transfer to soils and
ice caps, and
chemical weathering
of carbonate rocks
(15).
Outdoor levels of CO2 are not
high enough to result in
negative health effects.
According to the National
Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH)
high concentrations of CO2
can result in health effects
such as: headaches,
dizziness, restlessness,
difficulty breathing,
sweating, increased heart
rate, increased cardiac
output, increased blood
pressure, coma, asphyxia,
and/or convulsions. It should
be noted that current
concentrations of CO2 in the
earth’s atmosphere are
estimated to be
approximately 370 ppm, the
actual reference exposure
level (level at which adverse
health effects typically
occur) is at exposure levels
of 5,000 ppm averaged over
10 hours in a 40-hour
workweek and short-term
reference exposure levels of
30,000 ppm averaged over a
15 minute period (16).

GHGs Description Sources Health Effects
CH4 CH4 is an extremely effective
absorber of radiation, although
its atmospheric concentration is
less than CO2 and its lifetime in
the atmosphere is brief (10-12
years), compared to other GHGs.
CH4 has both natural
and anthropogenic
sources. It is
released as part of
the biological
processes in low
oxygen
environments, such
as in swamplands or
in rice production (at
the roots of the
plants). Over the last
50 years, human
activities such as
growing rice, raising
cattle, using natural
gas, and mining coal
have added to the
atmospheric
concentration of
CH4. Other
anthropocentric
sources include
fossil-fuel
combustion and
biomass burning (17).
CH4 is extremely reactive
with oxidizers, halogens, and
other halogen-containing
compounds. Exposure to
elevated levels of CH4 can
cause asphyxiation, loss of
consciousness, headache
and dizziness, nausea and
vomiting, weakness, loss of
coordination, and an
increased breathing rate.
N2O N2O, also known as laughing gas,
is a colorless GHG.
Concentrations of N2O also
began to rise at the beginning of
the industrial revolution. In
1998, the global concentration
was 314 parts per billion (ppb).
N2O is produced by
microbial processes
in soil and water,
including those
reactions which
occur in fertilizer
containing nitrogen.
In addition to
agricultural sources, some industrial
processes (fossil
fuel-fired power
plants, nylon
production, nitric
acid production, and
vehicle emissions)
also contribute to its
atmospheric load. It
is used as an aerosol
spray propellant, i.e.,
in whipped cream
N2O can cause dizziness,
euphoria, and sometimes
slight hallucinations. In small
doses, it is considered
harmless. However, in some
cases, heavy and extended
use can cause Olney’s
Lesions (brain damage) (18).

bottles. It is also
used in potato chip bags to keep chips
fresh. It is used in
rocket engines and
in race cars. N2O can
be transported into
the stratosphere, be
deposited on the
earth’s surface, and
be converted to
other compounds by chemical reaction
(18).
Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs)
CFCs are gases formed
synthetically by replacing all
hydrogen atoms in CH4 or ethane
(C2H6) with chlorine and/or
fluorine atoms. CFCs are
nontoxic, nonflammable,
insoluble and chemically
unreactive in the troposphere
(the level of air at the earth’s
surface).
CFCs have no natural
source but were first
synthesized in 1928.
They were used for
refrigerants, aerosol
propellants and
cleaning solvents.
Due to the discovery
that they are able to
destroy
stratospheric ozone,
a global effort to halt
their production was
undertaken and was
extremely
successful, so much
so that levels of the
major CFCs are now
remaining steady or
declining. However,
their long
atmospheric

GHGs Description Sources Health Effects
HFCs HFCs are synthetic, man-made
chemicals that are used as a
substitute for CFCs. Out of all the
GHGs, they are one of three
groups with the highest global
warming potential (GWP). The
HFCs with the largest measured
atmospheric abundances are (in
order), Fluoroform (HFC-23),
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-
134a), and 1,1-difluoroethane
(HFC-152a). Prior to 1990, the
only significant emissions were
of HFC-23. HCF-134a emissions
are increasing due to its use as a
refrigerant.
HFCs are manmade
for applications such
as automobile air
conditioners and
refrigerants.
No health effects are known
to result from exposure to
HFCs.
PFCs PFCs have stable molecular
structures and do not break
down through chemical
processes in the lower
atmosphere. High-energy
ultraviolet rays, which occur
about 60 kilometers above
earth’s surface, are able to
destroy the compounds. Because
of this, PFCs have exceptionally
long lifetimes, between 10,000
and 50,000 years. Two common
PFCs are tetrafluoromethane
(CF4) and hexafluoroethane
(C2F6). The EPA estimates that
concentrations of CF4 in the
atmosphere are over 70 parts
per trillion (ppt).
The two main
sources of PFCs are
primary aluminum
production and
semiconductor
manufacture.
No health effects are known
to result from exposure to
PFCs.
SF6 SF6 is an inorganic, odorless,
colorless, nontoxic,
nonflammable gas. It also has
the highest GWP of any gas
evaluated (23,900) (20). The EPA
indicates that concentrations in
the 1990s were about 4 ppt.
SF6 is used for
insulation in electric
power transmission
and distribution
equipment, in the
magnesium industry,
in semiconductor
manufacturing, and
as a tracer gas for
leak detection.
In high concentrations in
confined areas, the gas
presents the hazard of
suffocation because it
displaces the oxygen needed
for breathing.

Nitrogen Trifluoride
(NF3)
NF3 is a colorless gas with a
distinctly moldy odor. The World
Resources Institute (WRI)
indicates that NF3 has a 100-year
GWP of 17,200 (21).
NF3 is used in
industrial processes
and is produced in
the manufacturing of
semiconductors,
Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) panels, types
of solar panels, and
chemical lasers.
Long-term or repeated
exposure may affect the liver
and kidneys and may cause
fluorosis (22).
The potential health effects related directly to the emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O as they relate
to development projects such as the proposed Project are still being debated in the scientific
community. Their cumulative effects to GCC have the potential to cause adverse effects to human
health. Increases in Earth’s ambient temperatures would result in more intense heat waves,
causing more heat-related deaths. Scientists also purport those higher ambient temperatures
would increase disease survival rates and result in more widespread disease. Climate change
would likely cause shifts in weather patterns, potentially resulting in devastating droughts and
food shortages in some areas (23). Exhibit 2-A presents the potential impacts of global warming
(24).

2.4 GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL
GHGs have varying GWP values. GWP of a GHG indicates the amount of warming a gas cause over
a given period of time and represents the potential of a gas to trap heat in the atmosphere. CO2
is utilized as the reference gas for GWP, and thus has a GWP of 1. CO2 equivalent (CO2e) is a term
used for describing the difference GHGs in a common unit. CO2e signifies the amount of CO2
which would have the equivalent GWP.
The atmospheric lifetime and GWP of selected GHGs are summarized at Table 2-2. As shown in
the table below, GWP for the 2nd Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC)’s scientific and socio-economic assessment on climate change, range from 1 for
CO2 to 23,900 for SF6 and GWP for the IPCC’s 5th Assessment Report range from 1 for CO2 to
23,500 for SF6 (25).

2.5 GHG EMISSIONS INVENTORIES
2.5.1 GLOBAL
Worldwide anthropogenic GHG emissions are tracked by the IPCC for industrialized nations
(referred to as Annex I) and developing nations (referred to as Non-Annex I). Human GHG
emissions data for Annex I nations are available through 2018. Based on the latest available data,
the sum of these emissions totaled approximately 28,768,440 gigagram (Gg) CO2e1 (26) (27) as
summarized on Table 2-3.
1 The global emissions are the sum of Annex I and non-Annex I countries, without counting Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF).
For countries without 2018 data, the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) data for the most recent year were used U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, “Annex I Parties – GHG total without LULUCF,” The most recent GHG emissions for China and India are from 2014 and 2010, respectively.

2.5.2 UNITED STATES
As noted in Table 2-3, the United States, as a single country, was the number two producer of
GHG emissions in 2018.
TABLE 2-3: TOP GHG PRODUCING COUNTRIES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION 2
Emitting Countries GHG Emissions (Gg CO2e)
China 12,300,200
United States 6,676,650
European Union (28-member countries) 4,232,274
Russian Federation 2,220,123
India 2,100,850
Japan 1,238,343
Total 28,768,440
2.5.3 STATE OF CALIFORNIA
California has significantly slowed the rate of growth of GHG emissions due to the
implementation of energy efficiency programs as well as adoption of strict emission controls but
is still a substantial contributor to the United States (U.S.) emissions inventory total (28). The
California Air Resource Board (CARB) compiles GHG inventories for the State of California. Based
upon the 2020 GHG inventory data (i.e., the latest year for which data are available) for the 2000-
2019 GHG emissions period, California emitted an average 418.1 million metric tons of CO2e per
year (MMTCO2e/yr) or 418,100 Gg CO2e (6.26% of the total United States GHG emissions) (29).
2.6 EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA
2.6.1 PUBLIC HEALTH
Higher temperatures may increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of conditions conducive
to air pollution formation. For example, days with weather conducive to ozone formation could
increase from 25 to 35% under the lower warming range to 75 to 85% under the medium
warming range. In addition, if global background ozone levels increase as predicted in some
scenarios, it may become impossible to meet local air quality standards. Air quality could be
further compromised by increases in wildfires, which emit fine particulate matter that can travel
long distances, depending on wind conditions. Based on Our Changing Climate Assessing the
Risks to California by the California Climate Change Center, large wildfires could become up to
55% more frequent if GHG emissions are not significantly reduced (30).
In addition, under the higher warming range scenario, there could be up to 100 more days per
year with temperatures above 90°F in Los Angeles and 95°F in Sacramento by 2100. This is a

27
significant increase over historical patterns and approximately twice the increase projected if
temperatures remain within or below the lower warming range. Rising temperatures could
increase the risk of death from dehydration, heat stroke/exhaustion, heart attack, stroke, and
respiratory distress caused by extreme heat.
2.6.2 WATER RESOURCES
A vast network of man-made reservoirs and aqueducts captures and transports water throughout
the state from northern California rivers and the Colorado River. The current distribution system
relies on Sierra Nevada snowpack to supply water during the dry spring and summer months.
Rising temperatures, potentially compounded by decreases in precipitation, could severely
reduce spring snowpack, increasing the risk of summer water shortages.
If temperatures continue to increase, more precipitation could fall as rain instead of snow, and
the snow that does fall could melt earlier, reducing the Sierra Nevada spring snowpack by as
much as 70 to 90%. Under the lower warming range scenario, snowpack losses could be only half
as large as those possible if temperatures were to rise to the higher warming range. How much
snowpack could be lost depends in part on future precipitation patterns, the projections for
which remain uncertain. However, even under the wetter climate projections, the loss of
snowpack could pose challenges to water managers and hamper hydropower generation. It could
also adversely affect winter tourism. Under the lower warming range, the ski season at lower
elevations could be reduced by as much as a month. If temperatures reach the higher warming
range and precipitation declines, there might be many years with insufficient snow for skiing and
snowboarding.
The State’s water supplies are also at risk from rising sea levels. An influx of saltwater could
degrade California’s estuaries, wetlands, and groundwater aquifers. Saltwater intrusion caused
by rising sea levels is a major threat to the quality and reliability of water within the southern
edge of the Sacramento/San Joaquin River Delta – a major fresh water supply.
2.6.3 AGRICULTURE
Increased temperatures could cause widespread changes to the agriculture industry reducing the
quantity and quality of agricultural products statewide. First, California farmers could possibly
lose as much as 25% of the water supply needed. Although higher CO2 levels can stimulate plant
production and increase plant water-use efficiency, California’s farmers could face greater water
demand for crops and a less reliable water supply as temperatures rise. Crop growth and
development could change, as could the intensity and frequency of pest and disease outbreaks.
Rising temperatures could aggravate ozone pollution, which makes plants more susceptible to
disease and pests and interferes with plant growth.
Plant growth tends to be slow at low temperatures, increasing with rising temperatures up to a
threshold. However, faster growth can result in less-than-optimal development for many crops,
so rising temperatures could worsen the quantity and quality of yield for a number of California’s
agricultural products. Products likely to be most affected include wine grapes, fruits, and nuts.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
28
In addition, continued GCC could shift the ranges of existing invasive plants and weeds and alter
competition patterns with native plants. Range expansion could occur in many species while
range contractions may be less likely in rapidly evolving species with significant populations
already established. Should range contractions occur, new or different weed species could fill the
emerging gaps. Continued GCC could alter the abundance and types of many pests, lengthen
pests’ breeding season, and increase pathogen growth rates.
2.6.4 FORESTS AND LANDSCAPES
GCC has the potential to intensify the current threat to forests and landscapes by increasing the
risk of wildfire and altering the distribution and character of natural vegetation. If temperatures
rise into the medium warming range, the risk of large wildfires in California could increase by as
much as 55%, which is almost twice the increase expected if temperatures stay in the lower
warming range. However, since wildfire risk is determined by a combination of factors, including
precipitation, winds, temperature, and landscape and vegetation conditions, future risks would
not be uniform throughout the state. In contrast, wildfires in northern California could increase
by up to 90% due to decreased precipitation.
Moreover, continued GCC has the potential to alter natural ecosystems and biological diversity
within the state. For example, alpine and subalpine ecosystems could decline by as much as 60
to 80% by the end of the century as a result of increasing temperatures. The productivity of the
state’s forests has the potential to decrease as a result of GCC.
2.6.5 RISING SEA LEVELS
Rising sea levels, more intense coastal storms, and warmer water temperatures could
increasingly threaten the state’s coastal regions. Under the higher warming range scenario, sea
level is anticipated to rise 22 to 35 inches by 2100. Elevations of this magnitude would inundate
low-lying coastal areas with saltwater, accelerate coastal erosion, threaten vital levees and inland
water systems, and disrupt wetlands and natural habitats. Under the lower warming range
scenario, sea level could rise 12-14 inches.
2.7 REGULATORY SETTING
2.7.1 INTERNATIONAL
Climate change is a global issue involving GHG emissions from all around the world; therefore,
countries such as the ones discussed below have made an effort to reduce GHGs.
IPCC
In 1988, the United Nations (U.N.) and the World Meteorological Organization established the IPCC
to assess the scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information relevant to understanding the
scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts, and options for
adaptation and mitigation.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
29
UNITED NATION’S FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE (UNFCCC)
On March 21, 1994, the U.S. joined a number of countries around the world in signing the
Convention. Under the UNFCCC, governments gather and share information on GHG emissions,
national policies, and best practices; launch national strategies for addressing GHG emissions and
adapting to expected impacts, including the provision of financial and technological support to
developing countries; and cooperate in preparing for adaptation to the impacts of climate
change.
INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE TREATIES
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC. The major feature of the
Kyoto Protocol is that it sets binding targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European
community for reducing GHG emissions at an average of 5% against 1990 levels over the five-
year period 2008–2012. The Convention (as discussed above) encouraged industrialized
countries to stabilize emissions; however, the Protocol commits them to do so. Developed
countries have contributed more emissions over the last 150 years; therefore, the Protocol places
a heavier burden on developed nations under the principle of “common but differentiated
responsibilities.”
In 2001, President George W. Bush indicated that he would not submit the treaty to the U.S.
Senate for ratification, which effectively ended American involvement in the Kyoto Protocol. In
December 2009, international leaders met in Copenhagen to address the future of international
climate change commitments post-Kyoto. No binding agreement was reached in Copenhagen;
however, the UN Climate Change Committee identified the long-term goal of limiting the
maximum global average temperature increase to no more than 2 degrees Celsius (°C) above pre-
industrial levels, subject to a review in 2015. The Committee held additional meetings in Durban,
South Africa in November 2011; Doha, Qatar in November 2012; and Warsaw, Poland in
November 2013. The meetings gradually gained consensus among participants on individual
climate change issues.
On September 23, 2014, more than 100 Heads of State and Government and leaders from the
private sector and civil society met at the Climate Summit in New York hosted by the U.N. At the
Summit, heads of government, business and civil society announced actions in areas that would
have the greatest impact on reducing emissions, including climate finance, energy, transport,
industry, agriculture, cities, forests, and building resilience.
Parties to the UNFCCC reached a landmark agreement on December 12, 2015, in Paris, charting
a fundamentally new course in the two-decade-old global climate effort. Culminating a four-year
negotiating round, the new treaty ends the strict differentiation between developed and
developing countries that characterized earlier efforts, replacing it with a common framework
that commits all countries to put forward their best efforts and to strengthen them in the years
ahead. This includes, for the first time, requirements that all parties report regularly on their
emissions and implementation efforts and undergo international review.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
30
The agreement and a companion decision by parties were the key outcomes of the conference,
known as the 21st session of the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) 21. Together, the Paris
Agreement and the accompanying COP decision:
• Reaffirm the goal of limiting global temperature increase well below 2°C, while urging
efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees;
• Establish binding commitments by all parties to make “nationally determined
contributions” (NDCs), and to pursue domestic measures aimed at achieving them;
• Commit all countries to report regularly on their emissions and “progress made in
implementing and achieving” their NDCs, and to undergo international review;
• Commit all countries to submit new NDCs every five years, with the clear expectation that
they would “represent a progression” beyond previous ones;
• Reaffirm the binding obligations of developed countries under the UNFCCC to support the
efforts of developing countries, while for the first time encouraging voluntary contributions
by developing countries too;
• Extend the current goal of mobilizing $100 billion a year in support by 2020 through 2025,
with a new, higher goal to be set for the period after 2025;
• Extend a mechanism to address “loss and damage” resulting from climate change, which
explicitly would not “involve or provide a basis for any liability or compensation;”
• Require parties engaging in international emissions trading to avoid “double counting;” and
• Call for a new mechanism, similar to the Clean Development Mechanism under the Kyoto
Protocol, enabling emission reductions in one country to be counted toward another
country’s NDC (C2ES 2015a) (31).
Following President Biden’s day one executive order, the United States officially rejoined the
landmark Paris Agreement on February 19, 2021, positioning the country to once again be part
of the global climate solution. Meanwhile, city, state, business, and civic leaders across the
country and around the world have been ramping up efforts to drive the clean energy advances
needed to meet the goals of the agreement and put the brakes on dangerous climate change.
2.7.2 NATIONAL
Prior to the last decade, there have been no concrete federal regulations of GHGs or major
planning for climate change adaptation. The following are actions regarding the federal
government, GHGs, and fuel efficiency.
GHG ENDANGERMENT
In Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency 549 U.S. 497 (2007), decided on April 2,
2007, the United States Supreme Court (Supreme Court) found that four GHGs, including CO2,
are air pollutants subject to regulation under Section 202(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The
Supreme Court held that the EPA Administrator must determine whether emissions of GHGs from
new motor vehicles cause or contribute to air pollution, which may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare, or whether the science is too uncertain to make a reasoned
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
31
decision. On December 7, 2009, the EPA Administrator signed two distinct findings regarding
GHGs under section 202(a) of the CAA:
• Endangerment Finding: The Administrator finds that the current and projected
concentrations of the six key well-mixed GHGs— CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6—in the
atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.
• Cause or Contribute Finding: The Administrator finds that the combined emissions of these
well-mixed GHGs from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to
the GHG pollution, which threatens public health and welfare.
These findings do not impose requirements on industry or other entities. However, this was a
prerequisite for implementing GHG emissions standards for vehicles, as discussed in the section
“Clean Vehicles” below. After a lengthy legal challenge, the Supreme Court declined to review an
Appeals Court ruling that upheld the EPA Administrator’s findings (32).
CLEAN VEHICLES
Congress first passed the Corporate Average Fuel Economy law in 1975 to increase the fuel
economy of cars and light duty trucks. The law has become more stringent over time. On May
19, 2009, President Obama put in motion a new national policy to increase fuel economy for all
new cars and trucks sold in the U.S. On April 1, 2010, the EPA, and the Department of
Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a joint final
rule establishing a national program that would reduce GHG emissions and improve fuel
economy for new cars and trucks sold in the U.S.
The first phase of the national program applies to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-
duty (MD) passenger vehicles, covering model years 2012 through 2016. They require these
vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 250 grams of CO2 per mile,
equivalent to 35.5 miles per gallon (mpg) if the automobile industry were to meet this CO2 level
solely through fuel economy improvements. Together, these standards would cut CO2 emissions
by an estimated 960 million metric tons and 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of the
vehicles sold under the program (model years 2012–2016). The EPA and the NHTSA issued final
rules on a second-phase joint rulemaking establishing national standards for light-duty vehicles
for model years 2017 through 2025 in August 2012. The new standards for model years 2017
through 2025 apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and MD passenger vehicles. The final
standards are projected to result in an average industry fleetwide level of 163 grams/mile of CO2
in model year 2025, which is equivalent to 54.5 mpg if achieved exclusively through fuel economy
improvements.
The EPA and the U.S. Department of Transportation issued final rules for the first national
standards to reduce GHG emissions and improve fuel efficiency of heavy-duty trucks (HDT) and
buses on September 15, 2011, effective November 14, 2011. For combination tractors, the
agencies are proposing engine and vehicle standards that begin in the 2014 model year and
achieve up to a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by the 2018 model year.
For HDT and vans, the agencies are proposing separate gasoline and diesel truck standards, which
phase in starting in the 2014 model year and achieve up to a 10% reduction for gasoline vehicles
and a 15% reduction for diesel vehicles by the 2018 model year (12 and 17% respectively if
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
32
accounting for air conditioning leakage). Lastly, for vocational vehicles, the engine and vehicle
standards would achieve up to a 10% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from the
2014 to 2018 model years.
On April 2, 2018, the EPA signed the Mid-term Evaluation Final Determination, which declared
that the MY 2022-2025 GHG standards are not appropriate and should be revised (33). This Final
Determination serves to initiate a notice to further consider appropriate standards for MY 2022-
2025 light-duty vehicles. On August 2, 2018, the NHTSA in conjunction with the EPA, released a
notice of proposed rulemaking, the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model
Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (SAFE Vehicles Rule). The SAFE Vehicles Rule
was proposed to amend exiting Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and tailpipe CO2
standards for passenger cars and light trucks and to establish new standards covering model
years 2021 through 2026. As of March 31, 2020, the NHTSA and EPA finalized the SAFE Vehicle
Rule which increased stringency of CAFE and CO2 emissions standards by 1.5% each year through
model year 2026 (34).
MANDATORY REPORTING OF GHGS
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, passed in December 2007, requires the
establishment of mandatory GHG reporting requirements. On September 22, 2009, the EPA
issued the Final Mandatory Reporting of GHGs Rule, which became effective January 1, 2010. The
rule requires reporting of GHG emissions from large sources and suppliers in the U.S. and is
intended to collect accurate and timely emissions data to inform future policy decisions. Under
the rule, suppliers of fossil fuels or industrial GHGs, manufacturers of vehicles and engines, and
facilities that emit 25,000 metric tons per year (MT/yr) or more of GHG emissions are required
to submit annual reports to the EPA.
NEW SOURCE REVIEW
The EPA issued a final rule on May 13, 2010, that establishes thresholds for GHGs that define
when permits under the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V
Operating Permit programs are required for new and existing industrial facilities. This final rule
“tailors” the requirements of these CAA permitting programs to limit which facilities would be
required to obtain Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V permits. In the preamble to
the revisions to the Federal Code of Regulations, the EPA states:
“This rulemaking is necessary because without it the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration and Title V requirements would apply, as of January 2, 2011, at the
100 or 250 tons per year levels provided under the CAA, greatly increasing the
number of required permits, imposing undue costs on small sources, overwhelming
the resources of permitting authorities, and severely impairing the functioning of
the programs. EPA is relieving these resource burdens by phasing in the
applicability of these programs to GHG sources, starting with the largest GHG
emitters. This rule establishes two initial steps of the phase-in. The rule also
commits the agency to take certain actions on future steps addressing smaller
sources but excludes certain smaller sources from Prevention of Significant
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
33
Deterioration and Title V permitting for GHG emissions until at least April 30,
2016.”
The EPA estimates that facilities responsible for nearly 70% of the national GHG emissions from
stationary sources would be subject to permitting requirements under this rule. This includes the
nation’s largest GHG emitters—power plants, refineries, and cement production facilities.
STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR GHG EMISSIONS FOR NEW STATIONARY SOURCES: ELECTRIC UTILITY GENERATING
UNITS
As required by a settlement agreement, the EPA proposed new performance standards for
emissions of CO2 for new, affected, fossil fuel-fired electric utility generating units on March 27,
2012. New sources greater than 25 megawatts (MW) would be required to meet an output-based
standard of 1,000 pounds (lbs) of CO2 per MW-hour (MWh), based on the performance of widely
used natural gas combined cycle technology. It should be noted that on February 9, 2016, the
Supreme Court issued a stay of this regulation pending litigation. Additionally, the current EPA
Administrator has also signed a measure to repeal the Clean Power Plan, including the CO2
standards. The Clean Power Plan was officially repealed on June 19, 2019, when the EPA issued
the final Affordable Clean Energy rule (ACE). Under ACE, new state emission guidelines were
established that provided existing coal-fired electric utility generating units with achievable
standards.
CAP-AND-TRADE
Cap-and-trade refers to a policy tool where emissions are limited to a certain amount and can be
traded or provides flexibility on how the emitter can comply. Successful examples in the U.S.
include the Acid Rain Program and the N2O Budget Trading Program and Clean Air Interstate Rule
in the northeast. There is no federal GHG cap-and-trade program currently; however, some states
have joined to create initiatives to provide a mechanism for cap-and-trade.
The Regional GHG Initiative is an effort to reduce GHGs among the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and
Vermont. Each state caps CO2 emissions from power plants, auctions CO2 emission allowances,
and invests the proceeds in strategic energy programs that further reduce emissions, save
consumers money, create jobs, and build a clean energy economy. The Initiative began in 2008
and in 2020 has retained all participating states.
The Western Climate Initiative (WCI) partner jurisdictions have developed a comprehensive
initiative to reduce regional GHG emissions to 15% below 2005 levels by 2020. The partners were
originally California, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec. However, Manitoba and
Ontario are not currently participating. California linked with Quebec’s cap-and-trade system
January 1, 2014, and joint offset auctions took place in 2015. While the WCI has yet to publish
whether it has successfully reached the 2020 emissions goal initiative set in 2007, SB 32 requires
that California, a major partner in the WCI, adopt the goal of reducing statewide GHG emissions
to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030.

SMARTWAY PROGRAM
The SmartWay Program is a public-private initiative between the EPA, large and small trucking
companies, rail carriers, logistics companies, commercial manufacturers, retailers, and other
federal and state agencies. Its purpose is to improve fuel efficiency and the environmental
performance (reduction of both GHG emissions and air pollution) of the goods movement supply
chains. SmartWay is comprised of four components (35):
1. SmartWay Transport Partnership: A partnership in which freight carriers and shippers commit to
benchmark operations, track fuel consumption, and improve performance annually.
2. SmartWay Technology Program: A testing, verification, and designation program to help freight
companies identify equipment, technologies, and strategies that save fuel and lower emissions.
3. SmartWay Vehicles: A program that ranks light‐duty cars and small trucks and identifies superior
environmental performers with the SmartWay logo.
4. SmartWay International Interests: Guidance and resources for countries seeking to develop
freight sustainability programs modeled after SmartWay.
SmartWay effectively refers to requirements geared towards reducing fuel consumption. Most
large trucking fleets driving newer vehicles are compliant with SmartWay design requirements.
Moreover, over time, all HDTs would have to comply with the CARB GHG Regulation that is
designed with the SmartWay Program in mind, to reduce GHG emissions by making them more
fuel-efficient. For instance, in 2015, 53 foot or longer dry vans or refrigerated trailers equipped
with a combination of SmartWay-verified low-rolling resistance tires and SmartWay-verified
aerodynamic devices would obtain a total of 10% or more fuel savings over traditional trailers.
Through the SmartWay Technology Program, the EPA has evaluated the fuel saving benefits of
various devices through grants, cooperative agreements, emissions, and fuel economy testing,
demonstration projects and technical literature review. As a result, the EPA has determined the
following types of technologies provide fuel saving and/or emission reducing benefits when used
properly in their designed applications, and has verified certain products:
• Idle reduction technologies – less idling of the engine when it is not needed would reduce
fuel consumption.
• Aerodynamic technologies minimize drag and improve airflow over the entire tractor‐trailer
vehicle. Aerodynamic technologies include gap fairings that reduce turbulence between the
tractor and trailer, side skirts that minimize wind under the trailer, and rear fairings that
reduce turbulence and pressure drop at the rear of the trailer.
• Low rolling resistance tires can roll longer without slowing down, thereby reducing the
amount of fuel used. Rolling resistance (or rolling friction or rolling drag) is the force
resisting the motion when a tire rolls on a surface. The wheel would eventually slow down
because of this resistance.
• Retrofit technologies include things such as diesel particulate filters, emissions upgrades (to
a higher tier), etc., which would reduce emissions.
• Federal excise tax exemptions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 13990
On January 20, 2021, Federal agencies were directed to immediately review, and take action to
address, Federal regulations promulgated and other actions taken during the last 4 years that
conflict with national objectives to improve public health and the environment; ensure access to
clean air and water; limit exposure to dangerous chemicals and pesticides; hold polluters
accountable, including those who disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income
communities; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; bolster resilience to the impacts of climate
change; restore and expand our national treasures and monuments; and prioritize both
environmental justice and employment.
2.7.3 CALIFORNIA
2.7.3.1 LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS TO REDUCE GHGS
The State of California legislature has enacted a series of bills that constitute the most aggressive
program to reduce GHGs of any state in the nation. Some legislation such as the landmark AB 32
was specifically enacted to address GHG emissions. Other legislation such as Title 24 and Title 20
energy standards were originally adopted for other purposes such as energy and water
conservation, but also provide GHG reductions. This section describes the major provisions of the
legislation.
AB 32
The California State Legislature enacted AB 32, which required that GHGs emitted in California
be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020 (this goal has been met3). GHGs as defined under AB
32 include CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, and SF6. Since AB 32 was enacted, a seventh chemical, NF3,
has also been added to the list of GHGs. CARB is the state agency charged with monitoring and
regulating sources of GHGs. Pursuant to AB 32, CARB adopted regulations to achieve the
maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective GHG emission reductions. AB 32 states the
following:
“Global warming poses a serious threat to the economic well-being, public health,
natural resources, and the environment of California. The potential adverse
impacts of global warming include the exacerbation of air quality problems, a
reduction in the quality and supply of water to the state from the Sierra snowpack,
a rise in sea levels resulting in the displacement of thousands of coastal businesses
and residences, damage to marine ecosystems and the natural environment, and
an increase in the incidences of infectious diseases, asthma, and other human
health-related problems.”
SB 375
On September 30, 2008, SB 375 was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger. According to SB 375, the
transportation sector is the largest contributor of GHG emissions, which emits over 40% of the total
3 Based upon the 2019 GHG inventory data (i.e., the latest year for which data are available) for the 2000-2017 GHG emissions period, California
emitted an average 424.1 MMTCO2e (29). This is less than the 2020 emissions target of 431 MMTCO2e.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
36
GHG emissions in California. SB 375 states, “Without improved land use and transportation policy,
California would not be able to achieve the goals of AB 32.” SB 375 does the following: it (1) requires
metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to include sustainable community strategies in their
regional transportation plans for reducing GHG emissions, (2) aligns planning for transportation and
housing, and (3) creates specified incentives for the implementation of the strategies.
SB 375 requires MPOs to prepare a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) within the Regional
Transportation Plan (RTP) that guides growth while taking into account the transportation,
housing, environmental, and economic needs of the region. SB 375 uses CEQA streamlining as an
incentive to encourage residential projects, which help achieve AB 32 goals to reduce GHG
emissions. Although SB 375 does not prevent CARB from adopting additional regulations, such
actions are not anticipated in the foreseeable future.
Concerning CEQA, SB 375, as codified in Public Resources Code Section 21159.28, states that
CEQA findings for certain projects are not required to reference, describe, or discuss (1) growth
inducing impacts, or (2) any project-specific or cumulative impacts from cars and light-duty truck
trips generated by the project on global warming or the regional transportation network, if the
project:
1. Is in an area with an approved sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning
strategy that CARB accepts as achieving the GHG emission reduction targets.
2. Is consistent with that strategy (in designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies).
3. Incorporates the MMs required by an applicable prior environmental document.
AB 1493 - Pavley Fuel Efficiency Standards
Enacted on July 22, 2002, California AB 1493, also known as the Pavley Fuel Efficiency Standards,
required CARB to develop and adopt regulations that reduce GHGs emitted by passenger vehicles
and light duty trucks. Implementation of the regulation was delayed by lawsuits filed by
automakers and by the EPA’s denial of an implementation waiver. The EPA subsequently granted
the requested waiver in 2009, which was upheld by the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia in 2011.
The standards phase in during the 2009 through 2016 MY. Several technologies stand out as
providing significant reductions in emissions at favorable costs. These include discrete variable
valve lift or camless valve actuation to optimize valve operation rather than relying on fixed valve
timing and lift as has historically been done; turbocharging to boost power and allow for engine
downsizing; improved multi-speed transmissions; and improved air conditioning systems that
operate optimally, leak less, and/or use an alternative refrigerant.
The second phase of the implementation for the Pavley bill was incorporated into Amendments
to the Low-Emission Vehicle Program (LEV III) or the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program. The
ACC program combines the control of smog-causing pollutants and GHG emissions into a single
coordinated package of requirements for MY 2017 through 2025. The regulation would reduce
GHGs from new cars by 34% from 2016 levels by 2025. The new rules would clean up gasoline
and diesel-powered cars, and deliver increasing numbers of zero-emission technologies, such as
full battery electric cars, newly emerging plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EV) and hydrogen fuel
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
37
cell cars. The package would also ensure adequate fueling infrastructure is available for the
increasing numbers of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles planned for deployment in California.
CLEAN ENERGY AND POLLUTION REDUCTION ACT OF 2015 (SB 350)
In October 2015, the legislature approved, and Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 350, which
reaffirms California’s commitment to reducing its GHG emissions and addressing climate change.
Key provisions include an increase in the RPS, higher energy efficiency requirements for buildings,
initial strategies towards a regional electricity grid, and improved infrastructure for EV charging
stations. Provisions for a 50% reduction in the use of petroleum statewide were removed from
the Bill because of opposition and concern that it would prevent the Bill’s passage. Specifically,
SB 350 requires the following to reduce statewide GHG emissions:
• Increase the amount of electricity procured from renewable energy sources from 33% to
50% by 2030, with interim targets of 40% by 2024, and 25% by 2027.
• Double the energy efficiency in existing buildings by 2030. This target would be achieved
through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the California Energy Commission
(CEC), and local publicly owned utilities.
• Reorganize the Independent System Operator (ISO) to develop more regional electrify
transmission markets and to improve accessibility in these markets, which would facilitate
the growth of renewable energy markets in the western United States.
SB 32
On September 8, 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 32 and its companion bill, AB 197. SB 32
requires the state to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, a
reduction target that was first introduced in Executive Order B-30-15. The new legislation builds
upon the AB 32 goal and provides an intermediate goal to achieving S-3-05, which sets a
statewide GHG reduction target of 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. AB 197 creates a legislative
committee to oversee regulators to ensure that CARB not only responds to the Governor, but
also the Legislature (11).
CARB SCOPING PLAN UPDATE
In November 2017, CARB released the Final 2017 Scoping Plan Update (2017 Scoping Plan), which
identifies the State’s post-2020 reduction strategy. The 2017 Scoping Plan reflects the 2030
target of a 40% reduction below 1990 levels, set by Executive Order B-30-15 and codified by SB
32. Key programs that the proposed Second Update builds upon include the Cap-and-Trade
Regulation, the LCFS, and much cleaner cars, trucks, and freight movement, utilizing cleaner,
renewable energy, and strategies to reduce CH4 emissions from agricultural and other wastes.
The 2017 Scoping Plan establishes a new emissions limit of 260 MMTCO2e for the year 2030,
which corresponds to a 40% decrease in 1990 levels by 2030 (36).
California’s climate strategy would require contributions from all sectors of the economy,
including the land base, and would include enhanced focus on zero and near-zero emission
(ZE/NZE) vehicle technologies; continued investment in renewables, including solar roofs, wind,
and other distributed generation; greater use of low carbon fuels; integrated land conservation
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
38
and development strategies; coordinated efforts to reduce emissions of short-lived climate
pollutants (CH4, black carbon, and fluorinated gases); and an increased focus on integrated land
use planning to support livable, transit-connected communities and conservation of agricultural
and other lands. Requirements for direct GHG reductions at refineries would further support air
quality co-benefits in neighborhoods, including in disadvantaged communities historically
located adjacent to these large stationary sources, as well as efforts with California’s local air
pollution control and air quality management districts (air districts) to tighten emission limits on
a broad spectrum of industrial sources. Major elements of the 2017 Scoping Plan framework
include:
• Implementing and/or increasing the standards of the Mobile Source Strategy, which include
increasing zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) buses and trucks.
• LCFS, with an increased stringency (18% by 2030).
• Implementing SB 350, which expands the RPS to 50% RPS and doubles energy efficiency
savings by 2030.
• California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, which improves freight system efficiency, utilizes
near-zero emissions technology, and deployment of ZEV trucks.
• Implementing the proposed Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Strategy (SLPS), which focuses on
reducing CH4 and HCF emissions by 40% and anthropogenic black carbon emissions by 50%
by year 2030.
• Continued implementation of SB 375.
• Post-2020 Cap-and-Trade Program that includes declining caps.
• 20% reduction in GHG emissions from refineries by 2030.
• Development of a Natural and Working Lands Action Plan to secure California’s land base
as a net carbon sink.
Note, however, that the 2017 Scoping Plan acknowledges that:
“[a]chieving net zero increases in GHG emissions, resulting in no contribution to
GHG impacts, may not be feasible or appropriate for every project, however, and
the inability of a project to mitigate its GHG emissions to net zero does not imply
the project results in a substantial contribution to the cumulatively significant
environmental impact of climate change under CEQA.”
In addition to the statewide strategies listed above, the 2017 Scoping Plan also identifies local
governments as essential partners in achieving the State’s long-term GHG reduction goals and
identifies local actions to reduce GHG emissions. As part of the recommended actions, CARB
recommends that local governments achieve a community-wide goal to achieve emissions of no
more than 6 metric tons of CO2e (MTCO2e) or less per capita by 2030 and 2 MTCO2e or less per
capita by 2050. For CEQA projects, CARB states that lead agencies may develop evidence-based
bright-line numeric thresholds—consistent with the 2017 Scoping Plan and the State’s long-term
GHG goals—and projects with emissions over that amount may be required to incorporate on-
site design features and MMs that avoid or minimize project emissions to the degree feasible; or
a performance-based metric using a CAP or other plan to reduce GHG emissions is appropriate.

13682-02 GHG Report
39
According to research conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and
supported by CARB, California, under its existing and proposed GHG reduction policies, could
achieve the 2030 goals under SB 32. The research utilized a new, validated model known as the
California LBNL GHG Analysis of Policies Spreadsheet (CALGAPS), which simulates GHG and
criteria pollutant emissions in California from 2010 to 2050 in accordance to existing and future
GHG-reducing policies. The CALGAPS model showed that by 2030, emissions could range from
211 to 428 MTCO2e per year (MTCO2e/yr), indicating that “even if all modeled policies are not
implemented, reductions could be sufficient to reduce emissions 40% below the 1990 level [of
SB 32].” CALGAPS analyzed emissions through 2050 even though it did not generally account for
policies that might be put in place after 2030. Although the research indicated that the emissions
would not meet the State’s 80% reduction goal by 2050, various combinations of policies could
allow California’s cumulative emissions to remain very low through 2050 (37) (38).
CAP-AND-TRADE PROGRAM
The 2017 Scoping Plan identifies a Cap-and-Trade Program as one of the key strategies for
California to reduce GHG emissions. According to CARB, a cap-and-trade program would help put
California on the path to meet its goal of achieving a 40% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990
levels by 2030. Under cap-and-trade, an overall limit on GHG emissions from capped sectors is
established, and facilities subject to the cap would be able to trade permits to emit GHGs within
the overall limit.
CARB adopted a California Cap-and-Trade Program pursuant to its authority under AB 32. The
Cap-and-Trade Program is designed to reduce GHG emissions from regulated entities by more
than 16% between 2013 and 2020, and by an additional 40% by 2030. The statewide cap for GHG
emissions from the capped sectors (e.g., electricity generation, petroleum refining, and cement
production) commenced in 2013 and would decline over time, achieving GHG emission
reductions throughout the program’s duration.
Covered entities that emit more than 25,000 MTCO2e/yr must comply with the Cap-and-Trade
Program. Triggering of the 25,000 MTCO2e/yr “inclusion threshold” is measured against a subset
of emissions reported and verified under the California Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting
of GHG Emissions (Mandatory Reporting Rule or “MRR”).
Under the Cap-and-Trade Program, CARB issues allowances equal to the total amount of
allowable emissions over a given compliance period and distributes these to regulated entities.
Covered entities are allocated free allowances in whole or part (if eligible), and may buy
allowances at auction, purchase allowances from others, or purchase offset credits. Each covered
entity with a compliance obligation is required to surrender “compliance instruments” for each
MTCO2e of GHG they emit. There also are requirements to surrender compliance instruments
covering 30% of the prior year’s compliance obligation by November of each year (39).
The Cap-and-Trade Program provides a firm cap, which provides the highest certainty of
achieving the 2030 target. An inherent feature of the Cap-and-Trade program is that it does not
guarantee GHG emissions reductions in any discrete location or by any particular source. Rather,
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
40
GHG emissions reductions are only guaranteed on an accumulative basis. As summarized by
CARB in the First Update to the Climate Change Scoping Plan:
“The Cap-and-Trade Regulation gives companies the flexibility to trade allowances
with others or take steps to cost-effectively reduce emissions at their own facilities.
Companies that emit more have to turn in more allowances or other compliance
instruments. Companies that can cut their GHG emissions have to turn in fewer
allowances. But as the cap declines, aggregate emissions must be reduced. In other
words, a covered entity theoretically could increase its GHG emissions every year
and still comply with the Cap-and-Trade Program if there is a reduction in GHG
emissions from other covered entities. Such a focus on aggregate GHG emissions
is considered appropriate because climate change is a global phenomenon, and
the effects of GHG emissions are considered cumulative.” (40)
The Cap-and-Trade Program covers approximately 80% of California’s GHG emissions (36). The
Cap-and-Trade Program covers the GHG emissions associated with electricity consumed in
California, whether generated in-state or imported. Accordingly, GHG emissions associated with
CEQA projects’ electricity usage are covered by the Cap-and-Trade Program. The Cap-and-Trade
Program also covers fuel suppliers (natural gas and propane fuel providers and transportation
fuel providers) to address emissions from such fuels and from combustion of other fossil fuels
not directly covered at large sources in the Program’s first compliance period. The Cap-and-Trade
Program covers the GHG emissions associated with the combustion of transportation fuels in
California, whether refined in-state or imported.
2.7.3.2 EXECUTIVE ORDERS RELATED TO GHG EMISSIONS
California’s Executive Branch has taken several actions to reduce GHGs through the use of
Executive Orders. Although not regulatory, they set the tone for the state and guide the actions
of state agencies.
EXECUTIVE ORDER S-3-05
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced on June 1, 2005, through Executive
Order S-3-05, the following reduction targets for GHG emissions:
• By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels.
• By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels.
• By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels.
The 2050 reduction goal represents what some scientists believe is necessary to reach levels that
would stabilize the climate. The 2020 goal was established to be a mid-term target. Because this
is an executive order, the goals are not legally enforceable for local governments or the private
sector.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
41
EXECUTIVE ORDER S-01-07 (LCFS)
Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-01-07 on January 18, 2007. The order
mandates that a statewide goal shall be established to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s
transportation fuels by at least 10% by 2020. CARB adopted the LCFS on April 23, 2009.
The LCFS was challenged in the U.S. District Court in Fresno in 2011. The court’s ruling issued on
December 29, 2011, included a preliminary injunction against CARB’s implementation of the rule.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the injunction on April 23, 2012, pending final ruling on
appeal, allowing CARB to continue to implement and enforce the regulation. The Ninth Circuit
Court’s decision, filed September 18, 2013, vacated the preliminary injunction. In essence, the
court held that LCFS adopted by CARB were not in conflict with federal law. On August 8, 2013,
the Fifth District Court of Appeal (California) ruled CARB failed to comply with CEQA and the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) when adopting regulations for LCFS. In a partially published
opinion, the Court of Appeal reversed the trial court’s judgment and directed issuance of a writ
of mandate setting aside Resolution 09-31 and two executive orders of CARB approving LCFS
regulations promulgated to reduce GHG emissions. However, the court tailored its remedy to
protect the public interest by allowing the LCFS regulations to remain operative while CARB
complies with the procedural requirements it failed to satisfy.
To address the Court ruling, CARB was required to bring a new LCFS regulation to the Board for
consideration in February 2015. The proposed LCFS regulation was required to contain revisions
to the 2010 LCFS as well as new provisions designed to foster investments in the production of
the low-carbon intensity fuels, offer additional flexibility to regulated parties, update critical
technical information, simplify, and streamline program operations, and enhance enforcement.
On November 16, 2015, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the Final Rulemaking
Package. The new LCFS regulation became effective on January 1, 2016.
In 2018, CARB approved amendments to the regulation, which included strengthening the carbon
intensity benchmarks through 2030 in compliance with the SB 32 GHG emissions reduction target
for 2030. The amendments included crediting opportunities to promote zero emission vehicle
adoption, alternative jet fuel, carbon capture and sequestration, and advanced technologies to
achieve deep decarbonization in the transportation sector (41).
EXECUTIVE ORDER S-13-08
Executive Order S-13-08 states that “climate change in California during the next century is
expected to shift precipitation patterns, accelerate sea level rise and increase temperatures,
thereby posing a serious threat to California’s economy, to the health and welfare of its
population and to its natural resources.” Pursuant to the requirements in the Order, the 2009
California Climate Adaptation Strategy (CNRA 2009) was adopted, which is the “…first statewide,
multi-sector, region-specific, and information-based climate change adaptation strategy in the
United States.” Objectives include analyzing risks of climate change in California, identifying, and
exploring strategies to adapt to climate change, and specifying a direction for future research.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
42
EXECUTIVE ORDER B-30-15
On April 29, 2015, Governor Brown issued an executive order to establish a California GHG
reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. The Governor’s executive order aligned
California’s GHG reduction targets with those of leading international governments ahead of the
U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris late 2015. The Order sets a new interim statewide GHG
emission reduction target to reduce GHG emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 in order
to ensure California meets its target of reducing GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050
and directs CARB to update the 2017 Scoping Plan to express the 2030 target in terms of
MMTCO2e. The Order also requires the state’s climate adaptation plan to be updated every three
years, and for the State to continue its climate change research program, among other provisions.
As with Executive Order S-3-05, this Order is not legally enforceable as to local governments and
the private sector. Legislation that would update AB 32 to make post 2020 targets and
requirements a mandate is in process in the State Legislature.
EXECUTIVE ORDER B-55-18 AND SB 100
SB 100 and Executive Order B-55-18 were signed by Governor Brown on September 10, 2018.
Under the existing RPS, 25% of retail sales of electricity are required to be from renewable
sources by December 31, 2016, 33% by December 31, 2020, 40% by December 31, 2024, 45% by
December 31, 2027, and 50% by December 31, 2030. SB 100 raises California’s RPS requirement
to 50% renewable resources target by December 31, 2026, and to achieve a 60% target by
December 31, 2030. SB 100 also requires that retail sellers and local publicly owned electric
utilities procure a minimum quantity of electricity products from eligible renewable energy
resources so that the total kilowatt hours (kWh) of those products sold to their retail end-use
customers achieve 44% of retail sales by December 31, 2024, 52% by December 31, 2027, and
60% by December 31, 2030. In addition to targets under AB 32 and SB 32, Executive Order B-55-
18 establishes a carbon neutrality goal for the state of California by 2045; and sets a goal to
maintain net negative emissions thereafter. The Executive Order directs the California Natural
Resources Agency (CNRA), California EPA (CalEPA), the California Department of Food and
Agriculture (CDFA), and CARB to include sequestration targets in the Natural and Working Lands
Climate Change Implementation Plan consistent with the carbon neutrality goal.
2.7.3.3 CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS AND BUILDING CODES
California has a long history of adopting regulations to improve energy efficiency in new and
remodeled buildings. These regulations have kept California’s energy consumption relatively flat
even with rapid population growth.
TITLE 20 CCR SECTIONS 1601 ET SEQ. – APPLIANCE EFFICIENCY REGULATIONS
The Appliance Efficiency Regulations regulate the sale of appliances in California. The Appliance
Efficiency Regulations include standards for both federally regulated appliances and non-
federally regulated appliances. 23 categories of appliances are included in the scope of these
regulations. The standards within these regulations apply to appliances that are sold or offered
for sale in California, except those sold wholesale in California for final retail sale outside the state
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
43
and those designed and sold exclusively for use in recreational vehicles (RV) or other mobile
equipment (CEC 2012).
TITLE 24 CCR PART 6 – CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE
The California Energy Code was first adopted in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate
to reduce California’s energy consumption.
The standards are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible incorporation of
new energy efficient technologies and methods.
TITLE 24 CCR PART 11 – CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
The California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) is a comprehensive and uniform
regulatory code for all residential, commercial, and school buildings that went in effect on
January 1, 2009, and is administered by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC).
CALGreen is updated on a regular basis, with the most recent approved update consisting of
the 2019 California Green Building Code Standards that became effective January 1, 2020.
Local jurisdictions are permitted to adopt more stringent requirements, as state law provides
methods for local enhancements. CALGreen recognizes that many jurisdictions have
developed existing construction waste and demolition ordinances and defers to them as
the ruling guidance provided they establish a minimum 65% diversion requirement.
The code also provides exemptions for areas not served by construction waste and demolition
recycling infrastructure. The State Building Code provides the minimum standard that buildings
must meet in order to be certified for occupancy, which is generally enforced by the local
building official.
Energy efficient buildings require less electricity; therefore, increased energy efficiency reduces
fossil fuel consumption and decreases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The 2019 version of
Title 24 was adopted by the CEC and became effective on January 1, 2020.
The 2019 Title 24 standards would result in less energy use, thereby reducing air pollutant
emissions associated with energy consumption in the SCAB and across the State of California.
For example, the 2019 Title 24 standards would require solar photovoltaic systems for new
homes, establish requirements for newly constructed healthcare facilities, encourage demand
responsive technologies for residential buildings, and update indoor and outdoor lighting
requirements for nonresidential buildings.
The CEC anticipates that single-family homes built with the 2019 standards would use
approximately 7% less energy compared to the residential homes built under the 2016
standards. Additionally, after implementation of solar photovoltaic systems, homes built under
the 2019 standards would use about 53% less energy than homes built under the 2016
standards. Nonresidential buildings (such as the Project) would use approximately 30% less
energy due to lighting upgrade requirements (19).
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
44
Because the Project would be constructed after January 1, 2020, the 2019 CALGreen standards
are applicable to the Project and require, among other items (20):
NONRESIDENTIAL MANDATORY MEASURES
• Short-term bicycle parking. If the new project or an additional alteration is anticipated to
generate visitor traffic, provide permanently anchored bicycle racks within 200 feet of the
visitors’ entrance, readily visible to passers-by, for 5% of new visitor motorized vehicle
parking spaces being added, with a minimum of one two-bike capacity rack
(5.106.4.1.1).
• Long-term bicycle parking. For new buildings with tenant spaces that have 10 or more
tenant-occupants, provide secure bicycle parking for 5% of the tenant-occupant vehicular
parking spaces with a minimum of one bicycle parking facility (5.106.4.1.2).
• Designated parking for clean air vehicles. In new projects or additions to alterations that
add 10 or more vehicular parking spaces, provide designated parking for any combination of
low-emitting, fuel-efficient and carpool/van pool vehicles as shown in Table 5.106.5.2 (5.106.5.2).
• Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. New construction shall facilitate the future installation of
EV supply equipment. The compliance requires empty raceways for future conduit and
documentation that the electrical system has adequate capacity for the future load. The number
of spaces to be provided for is contained in Table 5.106. 5.3.3 (5.106.5.3).
• Outdoor light pollution reduction. Outdoor lighting systems shall be designed to meet the
backlight, uplight and glare ratings per Table 5.106.8 (5.106.8).
• Construction waste management. Recycle and/or salvage for reuse a minimum of 65% of
the nonhazardous construction and demolition waste in accordance with Section
5.408.1.1. 5.405.1.2, or 5.408.1.3; or meet a local construction and demolition waste
management ordinance, whichever is more stringent (5.408.1).
• Excavated soil and land clearing debris. 100% of trees, stumps, rocks and associated
vegetation and soils resulting primarily from land clearing shall be reused or recycled. For

CARB REFRIGERANT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
CARB adopted a regulation in 2009 to reduce refrigerant GHG emissions from stationary sources
through refrigerant leak detection and monitoring, leak repair, system retirement and
retrofitting, reporting and recordkeeping, and proper refrigerant cylinder use, sale, and disposal.
The regulation is set forth in sections 95380 to 95398 of Title 17, CCR. The rules implementing
the regulation establish a limit on statewide GHG emissions from stationary facilities with
refrigeration systems with more than 50 pounds of a high GWP refrigerant. The refrigerant
management program is designed to (1) reduce emissions of high-GWP GHG refrigerants from
leaky stationary, non-residential refrigeration equipment; (2) reduce emissions from the
installation and servicing of refrigeration and air-conditioning appliances using high-GWP
refrigerants; and (3) verify GHG emission reductions.
TRACTOR-TRAILER GHG REGULATION
The tractors and trailers subject to this regulation must either use EPA SmartWay certified
tractors and trailers or retrofit their existing fleet with SmartWay verified technologies. The
regulation applies primarily to owners of 53-foot or longer box-type trailers, including both dry-
van and refrigerated-van trailers, and owners of the HD tractors that pull them on California
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
46
highways. These owners are responsible for replacing or retrofitting their affected vehicles with
compliant aerodynamic technologies and low rolling resistance tires. Sleeper cab tractors MY
2011 and later must be SmartWay certified. All other tractors must use SmartWay verified low
rolling resistance tires. There are also requirements for trailers to have low rolling resistance tires
and aerodynamic devices.
PHASE I AND 2 HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE GHG STANDARDS
In September 2011, CARB has adopted a regulation for GHG emissions from HDTs and engines
sold in California. It establishes GHG emission limits on truck and engine manufacturers
and harmonizes with the EPA rule for new trucks and engines nationally. Existing HD vehicle
regulations in California include engine criteria emission standards, tractor-trailer GHG
requirements to implement SmartWay strategies (i.e., the Heavy-Duty Tractor-Trailer GHG
Regulation), and in-use fleet retrofit requirements such as the Truck and Bus Regulation. The
EPA rule has compliance requirements for new compression and spark ignition engines, as well
as trucks from Class 2b through Class 8. Compliance requirements began with MY 2014 with
stringency levels increasing through MY 2018. The rule organizes truck compliance into three
groupings, which include a) HD pickups and vans; b) vocational vehicles; and c) combination
tractors. The EPA rule does not regulate trailers.
CARB staff has worked jointly with the EPA and the NHTSA on the next phase of federal GHG
emission standards for medium-duty trucks (MDT) and HDT vehicles, called federal Phase 2. The
federal Phase 2 standards were built on the improvements in engine and vehicle efficiency
required by the Phase 1 emission standards and represent a significant opportunity to achieve
further GHG reductions for 2018 and later MY HDT vehicles, including trailers. The EPA and
NHTSA have proposed to roll back GHG and fuel economy standards for cars and light-duty trucks,
which suggests a similar rollback of Phase 2 standards for MDT and HDT vehicles may be pursued.
SB 97 AND THE CEQA GUIDELINES UPDATE
Passed in August 2007, SB 97 added Section 21083.05 to the Public Resources Code. The code
states “(a) On or before July 1, 2009, the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) shall prepare,
develop, and transmit to the Resources Agency guidelines for the mitigation of GHG emissions or
the effects of GHG emissions as required by this division, including, but not limited to, effects
associated with transportation or energy consumption. (b) On or before January 1, 2010, the
Resources Agency shall certify and adopt guidelines prepared and developed by the OPR
pursuant to subdivision (a).”
In 2012, Public Resources Code Section 21083.05 was amended to state:
“The Office of Planning and Research and the Natural Resources Agency shall
periodically update the guidelines for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions
or the effects of greenhouse gas emissions as required by this division, including,
but not limited to, effects associated with transportation or energy consumption,
to incorporate new information or criteria established by the State Air Resources
Board pursuant to Division 25.5 (commencing with Section 38500) of the Health
and Safety Code.”
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
47
On December 28, 2018, the Natural Resources Agency announced the OAL approved the
amendments to the CEQA Guidelines for implementing CEQA. The CEQA Amendments provide
guidance to public agencies regarding the analysis and mitigation of the effects of GHG emissions
in CEQA documents. The CEQA Amendments fit within the existing CEQA framework by amending
existing CEQA Guidelines to reference climate change.
Section 15064.4 was added the CEQA Guidelines and states that in determining the significance
of a project’s GHG emissions, the lead agency should focus its analysis on the reasonably
foreseeable incremental contribution of the project’s emissions to the effects of climate change.
A project’s incremental contribution may be cumulatively considerable even if it appears
relatively insignificant compared to statewide, national, or global emissions. The agency’s
analysis should consider a timeframe that is appropriate for the project. The agency’s analysis
also must reasonably reflect evolving scientific knowledge and state regulatory schemes.
Additionally, a lead agency may use a model or methodology to estimate GHG emissions resulting
from a project. The lead agency has discretion to select the model or methodology it considers
most appropriate to enable decision makers to intelligently take into account the project’s
incremental contribution to climate change. The lead agency must support its selection of a
model or methodology with substantial evidence. The lead agency should explain the limitations
of the particular model or methodology selected for use (42).
2.7.4 REGIONAL
The project is within the SCAB, which is under the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD.
SCAQMD
SCAQMD is the agency responsible for air quality planning and regulation in the SCAB. The
SCAQMD addresses the impacts to climate change of projects subject to SCAQMD permit as a
lead agency if they are the only agency having discretionary approval for the project and acts as
a responsible agency when a land use agency must also approve discretionary permits for the
project. The SCAQMD acts as an expert commenting agency for impacts to air quality. This
expertise carries over to GHG emissions, so the agency helps local land use agencies through the
development of models and emission thresholds that can be used to address GHG emissions.
In 2008, SCAQMD formed a Working Group to identify GHG emissions thresholds for land use
projects that could be used by local lead agencies in the SCAB. The Working Group developed
several different options that are contained in the SCAQMD Draft Guidance Document – Interim
CEQA GHG Significance Threshold, which could be applied by lead agencies. The working group
has not provided additional guidance since release of the interim guidance in 2008. The SCAQMD
Board has not approved the thresholds; however, the Guidance Document provides substantial
evidence supporting the approaches to significance of GHG emissions that can be considered by
the lead agency in adopting its own threshold. The current interim thresholds consist of the
following tiered approach:
• Tier 1 consists of evaluating whether or not the project qualifies for any applicable
exemption under CEQA.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
48
• Tier 2 consists of determining whether the project is consistent with a GHG reduction plan.
If a project is consistent with a qualifying local GHG reduction plan, it does not have
significant GHG emissions.
• Tier 3 consists of screening values, which the lead agency can choose, but must be
consistent with all projects within its jurisdiction. A project’s construction emissions are
averaged over 30 years and are added to the project’s operational emissions. If a project’s
emissions are below one of the following screening thresholds, then the project is less than
significant:
o Residential and commercial land use: 3,000 MTCO2e/yr
o Industrial land use: 10,000 MTCO2e/yr
o Based on land use type: residential: 3,500 MTCO2e/yr; commercial: 1,400
MTCO2e/yr; or mixed use: 3,000 MTCO2e/yr
• Tier 4 has the following options:
o Option 1: Reduce Business-as-Usual (BAU) emissions by a certain percentage; this
percentage is currently undefined.
o Option 2: Early implementation of applicable AB 32 Scoping Plan measures
o Option 3: 2020 target for service populations (SP), which includes residents and
employees: 4.8 MTCO2e per SP per year for projects and 6.6 MTCO2e per SP per
year for plans;
o Option 3, 2035 target: 3.0 MTCO2e per SP per year for projects and 4.1 MTCO2e per
SP per year for plans
• Tier 5 involves mitigation offsets to achieve target significance threshold.
The SCAQMD’s interim thresholds used the Executive Order S-3-05-year 2050 goal as the basis
for the Tier 3 screening level. Achieving the Executive Order’s objective would contribute to
worldwide efforts to cap CO2 concentrations at 450 ppm, thus stabilizing global climate.
SCAQMD only has authority over GHG emissions from development projects that include air
quality permits. At this time, it is unknown if the project would include stationary sources of
emissions subject to SCAQMD permits. Notwithstanding, if the Project requires a stationary
permit, it would be subject to the applicable SCAQMD regulations.
SCAQMD Regulation XXVII, adopted in 2009 includes the following rules:
• Rule 2700 defines terms and post global warming potentials.
• Rule 2701, SoCal Climate Solutions Exchange, establishes a voluntary program to
encourage, quantify, and certify voluntary, high quality certified GHG emission reductions
in the SCAQMD.
• Rule 2702, GHG Reduction Program created a program to produce GHG emission reductions
within the SCAQMD. The SCAQMD would fund projects through contracts in response to
requests for proposals or purchase reductions from other parties.
SCAQMD is the agency responsible for air quality planning and regulation in the SCAB. The
SCAQMD addresses the impacts to climate change of projects subject to SCAQMD permit as a
lead agency if they are the only agency having discretionary approval for the project and acts as

a responsible agency when a land use agency must also approve discretionary permits for the
project. The SCAQMD acts as an expert commenting agency for impacts to air quality. This
expertise carries over to GHG emissions, so the agency helps local land use agencies through the
development of models and emission thresholds that can be used to address GHG emissions.

3 PROJECT GHG IMPACT
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Project has been evaluated to determine if it will result in a significant GHG impact. The
significance of these potential impacts is described in the following sections.
3.2 STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The criteria used to determine the significance of potential Project-related GHG impacts are
taken from the Initial Study Checklist in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR of
Regulations §§15000, et seq.). Based on these thresholds, a project would result in a significant
impact related to GHG if it would (1):
• Generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the
environment?
• Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the
emissions of GHGs?
3.3 MODELS EMPLOYED TO ANALYZE GHGS
3.3.1 CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS ESTIMATOR MODEL (CALEEMOD)
In May 2021, the SCAQMD, in conjunction with the California Air Pollution Control Officers
Association (CAPCOA) and other California air districts, released the latest version of the
CalEEMod Version 2020.4.0. The purpose of this model is to calculate construction-source and
operational-source criteria pollutants and GHG emissions from direct and indirect sources; and
quantify applicable air quality and GHG reductions achieved from mitigation measures (43).
Accordingly, the latest version of CalEEMod has been used for this Project to determine GHG
emissions. Output from the model runs for construction and operational activity are provided in
Appendix 3.1. CalEEMod includes GHG emissions from the following source categories:
construction, area, energy, mobile, waste, water.
3.4 LIFE-CYCLE ANALYSIS NOT REQUIRED
A full life‐cycle analysis (LCA) for construction and operational activity is not included in this
analysis due to the lack of consensus guidance on LCA methodology at this time (44). Life‐cycle
analysis (i.e., assessing economy‐wide GHG emissions from the processes in manufacturing and
transporting all raw materials used in the Project development, infrastructure, and on-going
operations) depends on emission factors or econometric factors that are not well established for
all processes. At this time, an LCA would be extremely speculative and thus has not been
prepared.
Additionally, the SCAQMD recommends analyzing direct and indirect project GHG emissions
generated within California and not life-cycle emissions because the life-cycle effects from a
project could occur outside of California, might not be very well understood, or documented, and
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
52
would be challenging to mitigate (45). Additionally, the science to calculate life cycle emissions
is not yet established or well defined; therefore, SCAQMD has not recommended, and is not
requiring, life-cycle emissions analysis.
3.5 CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS
Project construction actvities would generate CO2 and CH4 emissions The report Birtcher
Logistics Center Air Quality Impact Analysis (AQIA) contains detailed information regarding
Project construction activities (46). As discussed in the AQIA, Construction related emissions are
expected from the following construction activities:
• Demolition
• Site Preparation
• Grading
• Building Construction
• Paving
• Architectural Coating
3.5.1 CONSTRUCTION DURATION
Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2022 and will last through June 2023. The
construction schedule utilized in the analysis, shown in Table 3-2, represents a “worst-case”
analysis scenario should construction occur any time after the respective dates since emission
factors for construction decrease as time passes and the analysis year increases due to emission
regulations becoming more stringent4. The duration of construction activity and associated
equipment represents a reasonable approximation of the expected construction fleet as required
per CEQA Guidelines (47).
TABLE 3-2: CONSTRUCTION DURATION
Construction Activity Start Date End Date Days
Demolition 01/01/2022 05/06/2022 90

4 As shown in the CalEEMod User’s Guide Version 2020.4.0, Section 4.3 “OFFROAD Equipment” as the analysis year increases, emission factors for the same equipment pieces decrease due to the natural turnover of older equipment being replaced by newer less polluting equipment and new regulatory requirements.

3.5.2 CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
Consistent with industry standards and typical construction practices, each piece of equipment
listed in Table 3-3 will operate up to a total of eight (8) hours per day, or more than two-thirds of
the period during which construction activities are allowed pursuant to the code.

3.5.3 CONSTRUCTION EMISSIONS SUMMARY
For construction phase Project emissions, GHGs are quantified and amortized over the life of the
Project. To amortize the emissions over the life of the Project, the SCAQMD recommends
calculating the total GHG emissions for the construction activities, dividing it by a 30-year Project
life then adding that number to the annual operational phase GHG emissions (48). As such,
construction emissions were amortized over a 30-year period and added to the annual
operational phase GHG emissions. The amortized construction emissions are presented in Table
3-4.

3.6 OPERATIONAL EMISSIONS
Operational activities associated with the Project will result in emissions of CO2, CH4, and N2O
from the following primary sources:
• Area Source Emissions
• Energy Source Emissions
• Mobile Source Emissions
• On-Site Cargo Handling Equipment Emissions
• Transportation Refrigeration Units (TRU) Emissions
• Water Supply, Treatment, and Distribution
• Solid Waste
3.6.1 AREA SOURCE EMISSIONS
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT
Landscape maintenance equipment would generate emissions from fuel combustion and
evaporation of unburned fuel. Equipment in this category would include lawnmowers,
shedders/grinders, blowers, trimmers, chain saws, and hedge trimmers used to maintain the
landscaping of the Project. It should be noted that as October 9, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom
signed AB 1346. The bill aims to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered equipment under 25 gross
horsepower (known as small off-road engines [SOREs]) by 2024. For purposes of analysis, the
emissions associated with landscape maintenance equipment were calculated based on
assumptions provided in CalEEMod.
3.6.2 ENERGY SOURCE EMISSIONS
COMBUSTION EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH NATURAL GAS AND ELECTRICITY
Electricity and natural gas are used by almost every project. Criteria pollutant emissions are
emitted through the generation of electricity and consumption of natural gas. However, because
electrical generating facilities for the Project area are located either outside the region (state) or
5 CalEEMod reports the most common GHGs emitted which include CO2, CH4, and N2O. These GHGs are then converted into the CO2e by multiplying the individual GHG by the GWP.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
55
offset through the use of pollution credits (RECLAIM) for generation within the SCAB, criteria
pollutant emissions from offsite generation of electricity are generally excluded from the
evaluation of significance and only natural gas use is considered. Based on information provided
by the Project Applicant, the Project would not utilize natural gas and therefore no air quality
emissions from energy sources would occur.
3.6.3 MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS
The Project related operational air quality emissions derive primarily from vehicle trips generated
The Project related operational air quality emissions derive primarily from vehicle trips generated
by the Project, including employee trips to and from the site and truck trips associated with the
proposed uses. Trip characteristics available from the Birtcher Logistics Center Vehicle Miles
Traveled Screening Evaluation were utilized in this analysis (49).
APPROACH FOR ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT
To determine emissions from passenger car vehicles, the CalEEMod defaults were utilized for trip
length and trip purpose for the proposed industrial land uses.
This analysis assumes that passenger cars include Light-Duty-Auto vehicles (LDA), Light-Duty-
Trucks (LDT16 & LDT27), Medium-Duty-Vehicles (MDV), and Motorcycles (MCY) vehicle types. To
account for emissions generated by passenger cars, the following fleet mix was utilized in this
analysis:
TABLE 3-5: PASSENGER CAR FLEET MIX
% Vehicle Type
LDA LDT1 LDT2 MDV MCY
57.45 6.38 18.09 14.89 3.19
Note: The Project-specific passenger car fleet mix used in this analysis is based on a proportional split utilizing the default CalEEMod percentages assigned to LDA, LDT1, LDT2, and MDV vehicle types.
To determine emissions from trucks for the proposed industrial uses, the analysis incorporated
the SCAQMD recommended truck trip length of 40 miles8 and an assumption of 100% primary
trips for the proposed industrial land uses.
Heavy trucks are broken down by truck type (or axle type) and are categorized as either Light-
Heavy-Duty Trucks (LHDT19)/2-axle, Medium-Heavy-Duty Trucks (MHDT)/3-axle, and Heavy-
6 Vehicles under the LDT1 category have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of less than 6,000 lbs. and equivalent test weight (ETW) of less
than or equal to 3,750 lbs.
7 Vehicles under the LDT2 category have a GVWR of less than 6,000 lbs. and ETW between 3,751 lbs. and 5,750 lbs. 8 The average trip length for heavy trucks were based on the SCAQMD documents for the implementation of the Facility-Based Mobile Source
Measures (FBMSMs) adopted in the 2016 AQMP. SCAQMD’s “Preliminary Warehouse Emission Calculations” cites 39.9-mile trip length for
heavy-heavy trucks (41). As a conservative measure, a trip length of 40 miles has been utilized for all trucks for the purpose of this analysis (39) 9 Vehicles under the LHDT1 category have a GVWR of 8,501 to 10,000 lbs.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
56
Heavy-Duty Trucks (HHDT)/4+-axle. To account for emissions generated by trucks, the following
fleet mix was utilized in this analysis:
TABLE 3-6: TRUCK FLEET MIX
% Vehicle Type
LHDT1 MHDT HHDT
16.66 20.59 62.75
Note: Project-specific truck fleet mix is based on the number of trips generated by each truck type (LHDT1, LHDT2, MHDT, and HHDT) relative to
the total number of truck trips.
3.6.4 ON-SITE CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT EMISSIONS
It is common for warehouse buildings to require the operation of exterior cargo handling
equipment in the building’s truck court areas. For this particular Project, on-site modeled
operational equipment includes up to two (2) 200 horsepower (hp), compressed natural gas or
gasoline-powered tractors/loaders/backhoes operating at 4 hours a day10 for 365 days of the
year.
3.6.5 TRU EMISSIONS
In order to account for the possibility of refrigerated uses, trucks associated with the cold-storage
land use are assumed to also have TRUs. Therefore, for modeling purposes 204 two-way truck
trips have the potential to include TRUs. TRUs are accounted for during on-site and off-site travel.
The TRU calculations are based on the 2017 Off-road Emissions model, version 1.0.1 (Orion),
developed by the CARB. Orion does not provide emission rates per hour or mile as with the on-
road emission model and only provides emission inventories. Emission results are produced in
tons per day while all activity, fuel consumption and horsepower hours were reported at annual
levels. The emission inventory is based on specific assumptions including the average
horsepower rating of specific types of equipment and the hours of operation annually. These
assumptions are not always consistent with assumptions used in the modeling of project level
emissions. Therefore, the emissions inventory was converted into emission rates to accurately
calculate emissions from TRU operation associated with project level details. This was
accomplished by converting the annual horsepower hours to daily operational characteristics and
converting the daily emission levels into hourly emission rates based on the total emission of
each criteria pollutant by equipment type and the average daily hours of operation.
3.6.6 WATER SUPPLY, TREATMENT AND DISTRIBUTION
Indirect GHG emissions result from the production of electricity used to convey, treat, and
distribute water and wastewater. The amount of electricity required to convey, treat, and
10 Based on Table II-3, Port and Rail Cargo Handling Equipment Demographics by Type, from CARB’s Technology Assessment: Mobile Cargo
Handling Equipment document, a single piece of equipment could operate up to 2 hours per day (Total Average Annual Activity divided by Total Number Pieces of Equipment). As such, the analysis conservatively assumes that the tractor/loader/backhoe would operate up to 4 hours per day.
Birtcher Logistics Center Greenhouse Gas Analysis
13682-02 GHG Report
57
distribute water depends on the volume of water as well as the sources of the water. Unless
otherwise noted, CalEEMod default parameters were used.
3.6.7 SOLID WASTE
Industrial land uses will result in the generation and disposal of solid waste. A percentage of this
waste will be diverted from landfills by a variety of means, such as reducing the amount of waste
generated, recycling, and/or composting. The remainder of the waste not diverted will be
disposed of at a landfill. GHG emissions from landfills are associated with the anaerobic
breakdown of material. GHG emissions associated with the disposal of solid waste associated
with the proposed Project were calculated by CalEEMod using default parameters.
3.6.8 EMISSIONS SUMMARY
The annual GHG emissions associated with the Project are summarized in Table 3-7. As shown in
Table 3-7, construction and operation of the Project would generate a total of 5,719.57
