Consider generating or purchasing local and California -only carbon credits as the preferred mechanism to implement its offsite mitigation measure for GHG emissions and that will facilitate the State's efforts in achieving the GHG emission reduction goal Here, the Addendum and associated documents fail to consider or indicate that the proposed Project will generate or purchase any local or California -only carbon credits. As such, the proposed Project is not consistent with this measure and the Addendum lacks substantial evidence to support its consistency determination As the above table indicates, the Addendum and associated documents fail to provide sufficient information and analysis to determine Project consistency with various measures under CARB's 2017 Scoping Plan. Thus, we cannot verify that the Project would be consistent with CARB's 2017 Scoping Plan, as stated in the Addendum. As a result, we recommend that an EIR be prepared to include further information and analysis demonstrating the Project's consistency. (7) Updated Analysis Indicates a Potentially Significant GHG Impact Applicable thresholds and site -specific modeling demonstrate that the proposed Project would result in a significant GHG impact not previously mitigated by the Addendum. The CalEEMod output files, modeled by SWAPE with Project -specific information, disclose the Project's mitigated emissions, which include approximately 996 MT CO2e of total construction emissions (sum of 2021, 2022, and 2023) and approximately 1,993 MT CO2e/year of net annual operational emissions (sum of area, energy, mobile, waste, and water -related emissions), for a net annual GHG emissions of 2,026 MT CO2e/year. Furthermore, as described above, we estimate that the Project's total service population would be approximately 430 people. When dividing the Project's GHG emissions (amortized construction + operational) by a service population value of 430 people, we find that the Project would emit approximately 4.71 MT CO2e/SP/year.44 As demonstrated in the table below, the service population efficiency value of 4.71 MT CO2e/SP/year exceeds the SCAQMD 2035 efficiency target of 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year (see table below).41 SWAPE Service Population Efficiency Proposed Project Phase Project (MT Construction (amortized over 30 years) 33.21 Area 37.63 Energy 599.40 Mobile 1,214.56 Waste 66.11 Water 75.23 "Calculated: (2,026.12 MT CO2e/year) / (430 service population) _ (4.71 MT CO2e/SP/year). 45 "Minutes for the GHG CECA Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working Group #15."
