Clean Cities – Coachella Valley Region July 10, 2013 AB 1318 Mitigation Fees Fund Program Update on Projects

Background  CA Assembly Bill 1318 (V.M. Perez)  Facilitated transfer of emission offsets from the SCAQMD to CPV Sentinel power plant project  Approximately $53 million transferred to the SCAQMD  Placed in a mitigation fees fund approved by the Board June 2011  Designated to fund emissions reduction projects

Emissions Mitigation Funds Use  AB 1318 specifies use of mitigation fees for emission reduction purposes  At least 30% “within close proximity” to the power plant project, which the SCAQMD Governing Board has determined to be the radial distance of 6 miles  At least 30% in EJ Areas under SCAQMD jurisdiction  Remaining 40% can be used anywhere in the SCAQMD jurisdiction

RFP Development  January 2012  In conjunction with development of an RFP for expending the funds, staff held two public consultation meetings in the Coachella Valley  February 2012  Determined that all funds are to be used in the Coachella Valley, that is the area that is both within SCAQMD jurisdiction and the Salton Sea Air Basin  Defined “close proximity” and EJ areas  Authorized the release of the RFP (issued February 9, 2012)  Proposal submittal period extended from normal 60 days to 120 days (deadline - no later than 5:00 p.m. on June 8, 2012)

Environmental Justice Area Definition per AB 1318  Refers to SCAQMD Rule – Priority Reserve (adopted August 2007)  Areas where at least 10% of the population is below the poverty level (2000 Census); AND  Disproportionate impacts from fine particulate (PM10) exposure (> 46 µg/m 3 )

Project Site Close Proximity = Six Mile Radial Distance

Available Funding  Available funding for project is based on the Mitigation Fees Fund Deposit of $53,318,358.30, less 5% for administration  Therefore, minimum 30% funding for close proximity and EJ Areas = $15,195,  Interest earned from the fund will be used to fund additional projects under the program as approved

RFP Process  Year long process  Extensive Public Outreach  2 Bidders Workshops (one in Palm Desert)  Noticing in inland newspapers in both English and Spanish print versions  Additional Newspaper Noticing newspapers specific to the desert communities (1/4 advertisements in English & Spanish)  4 two-day “office hour” sessions held throughout valley region  7 technical staff available for ~50 hours each  Special web page created with video (English & Spanish), FAQ, checklist, etc.

Summary of Mitigation Projects Submitted  75 proposals received containing >$375M in projects submitted, including:  ~$173M in close proximity (6-miles) to the power plant  ~$190M in EJ areas  Submittals generally fell into the following categories:  Solar: ~$132M  Alternative fueled vehicles and infrastructure: ~$41M  Air Filtration: ~$22.5M  Paving: ~$27M  Gardening: ~$12.5M  Weatherizing buildings and homes: ~$20.5M  Other: ~$121M (e.g., congestion relief & alternative energy)

Panel Recommendations Regarding Evaluations  Award 5 additional points to local governments and schools, as was done for local businesses doing at least 90% business in the SCAQMD jurisdiction  Set a minimum technical score of 70 points for funding consideration  Several proposals have multiple projects or layers therefore partial funding of some was awarded

Governing Board Process  Held two meetings of the Administrative Committee  October 18, 2012 in Coachella Valley  December 14, 2012 in Diamond Bar  Combined ~9 hours of testimony by more than 100 individuals  Resulted in numerous action items resulting in modified staff recommendations resulted in >$11 million being reallocated and funding 9 additional projects  Greater consideration for non-profits  Remove grid scale projects from consideration  Forwarded for full Board consideration on January 4, 2013

January 4, 2013 Governing Board Actions  Approved updated funding proposal as directed by Administrative Committee  If contracts are not executed, move to the back-up list, ensuring AB 1318 minimums are met  Utilize interest earned to fund projects, consistent with AB 1318 Requirements  Update Administrative Committee semi-annually, or more frequently if needed  Three-year cumulative report to the Governing Board
