Note: Scope of environmental analysis; 33 day review per lead agency SCAQMD staff is proposing two new rules to allow proposed Investor Owned Utility and Local Publicly Owned Electrical Utility power projects that meet specific requirements, to pay a fee for the use of SOx, PM10, and NOx emission offsets in SCAQMD's internal accounts. There currently may be an inadequate supply of Emission Reduction Credits in the open market to meet the offset requirements for permitting new or expanded power projects. The purpose of these proposed rules is to ensure that adequate resources are available to maintain local and regional electrical grid reliability despite the decommissioning.
