The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Climate Action Plan

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Climate Action Plan

Metropolitan has prepared a CAP to outline a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with future construction, operation, and maintenance activities. The CAP is a comprehensive roadmap that analyzes historical GHG emissions, prepares a forecast of future GHG emissions, sets a GHG reduction target for reducing emissions consistent with applicable state policies, and identifies a suite of specific reduction actions that Metropolitan can implement to achieve the adopted target consistent with Section 15183.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The CAP is a customized roadmap for making informed decisions and understanding where and how to achieve emissions reductions that conform to Metropolitan’s mission/goals in a meaningful and cost-effective manner. While a CAP identifies potential projects that may be implemented to meet GHG reduction goals, the draft PEIR analyzes impacts that could result from construction and operation of the proposed projects implemented to meet GHG reduction goals. As project details are developed for the individual projects identified in the CAP and PEIR, the individual project will undergo further CEQA review to ensure consistency with the impacts analyzed in the PEIR. Additional CEQA documentation will be prepared, if necessary.
