INTRODUCTION  1.1 Purpose of the Climate Action Plan  The Town. of San Anselmo understands that climate change has the potential to significantly affect San Anselmo's residents and businesses, as well as other communities around the world. The Town also recognizes that local governments play a strong role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and The purpose of this' Climate Action Plan is to compile existing and potential strategies (i.e., actions, projects, and programs) that the Town's government operations and the community can take to address climate change. It provides a brief background on what climate change is and its potential impacts, but focuses on the efforts San Anselmo can take to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate, to the Through actions outlined in this plan, such as increasing energy efficiency in buildings, encouraging less dependence on the automobile, and using clean, renewable energy sources, the community can experience lower energy bills, improved air quality, reduced emissions, and an enhanced quality of life. The Town's preparation of a 2005 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and this Climate Action Plan are the beginning of an ongoing planning process that includes assessing, planning, mitigating and adapting to  mitigating the potential impacts of climate change.  extent feasible at the local level, the potential impacts of climate change,  climate change.

It is intended that a future update of the San Anselmo General Plan 1989 will integrate and  reference this plan, instead ofi including the plan in the General Plan itself.  San Anselmo Climate. Action Plan - DRAFT March. 2011  1    1.3 Climate Change Background  AI balance of naturally occurring gases dispersed in the atmosphere determines the Earth's climate by trapping infrared radiation (heat), a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. Significant evidence: suggests that human activities are increasing the concentration of these gases (known as "greenhouse  gases" or. GHG) in the atmosphere, causing a rise in global average surface temperature and consequent. global climate change. The greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, halocarbons, ozone, and water vapor. Each one. has a different degree of impact on climate change. To facilitate comparison across different. Solar radiation emission sources with mixed and passos1 through varied compositions of several GHG, the term "carbon. dioxide equivalent" or CO,e is used. One metric ton of CO,e may consist of any combination of GHG, and has the equivalent Global Warming Potential (GWP): as (CO2).

Climate change in California will result in a higher frequency of large damaging fires. Regional climates that are hotter and drier will result in increased pest and insect epidemics  Higher temperatures. increase the demand for water by plants.  within California's forests.  Sea Level Rise  Because of scientific uncertainties, it is difficult to predict with a high degree of accuracy: the sea level rise that will impact Marin County residents. The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission's (BCDC) most recent assessment assumes a 1.8° to 5.4° F (1° to 3° C) rise in global temperature over the next century and a corresponding sea level rise in San Francisco Bay of 16 inches by mid-century and 55 inches by 2100.2 Sea level rise of this magnitude would have dramatic impacts on residences, businesses, schools, and public infrastructure located near the shoreline. Inundation maps created by BCDC (see Figure 2) integrate GIS data from the USGS and sea level rise projections to assess the vulnerability of Bay Area communities to different sea level rise scenarios. A 16-inch rise in sea level would result in the flooding of 180,000 acres of shoreline, which is roughly equivalent to today's 100-year floodplain. A 55-inch rise in sea level would flood over 213,000 acres of shoreline; putting billions of dollars of private and public development at risk. Changes in climate and sea level  could cause an increase in storm activity, storm surges, and even greater flooding.

Action Plan- DRAFT March 2011  5    1.5 Regulation of Climate Change - Federal, State and Regional Levels  Federal Climate Policy  Currently, there is no federal legislation mandating comprehensive greenhouse gas emission reporting or reduction in the United States. Efforts; however, are underway in Congress to develop and enact climate and energy legislation. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a GHG emissions cap-and-trade bill, Waxman-Markey, in. June 2009. The U.S. Senate considered, but failed to pass, various cap-and-trade bills in2 2009 and 2010. These bills utilized a market-based approach to controlling emissions by allocating permits to companies that allow them to emit 'a certain volume of greenhouse gasses. Companies that need to expand their operations may buy permits from other companies which have been able to reduce their emissions. In this way,, buyers are. penalized for discharging more emissions, sellers are rewarded for Absent congressional action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). has used its rulemaking authority under the Clean Air Act to begin to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. In 2009, the EPA made an 'endangerment finding" that GHGS threaten the public health and. welfare of the American people." This finding provided the statutory prerequisite for EPA regulation of GHG emissions from motor vehicles and has led to a number of GHG. regulations for stationary sources. In May 2010, the EPA issued a "tailoring" rule that enables the agency to control GHG emissions from the nation's largest GHG sources, including power plants, refineries, cement production facilities; industrial manufacturers and solid waste landfills, when these facilities are newly constructed or substantially modified. The EPA reports that its GHG permitting requirements will address 70% of the national GHG emissions from stationary sources. InA April of 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation finalized new fuel efficiency standards for model year 2012 through 2016 cars and light trucks. These vehicles will have to meet a combined average emissions level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per mile, or the equivalent to 35.5 miles per gallon (MPG), up from the current standard of 27.5 MPG. The EPA and the Department of Transportation are currently developing first-ever regulations for medium and heavy-dutyvehicles"  reducing emissions, and. overall emissions are capped at a predetermined amount.  These rules' went into effect in. January 2011.  State Climate Policy  California produces roughly, 1.4 percent of the world's and 6.2 percent of the total U.S. greenhouse gases (GHG). The State' of California has taken the lead in setting specific targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels in both power plants and vehicles through the following  legislation:  3p Final Rule, EPA, Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act, 4F Final Rule: Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, tphemagpomsdinatersastonshmnet accessed 12/9/10.  74 Fed.

In September 2009, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an executive order directing the State's Air Resources Board to adopt regulations increasing California's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), to 33 percent by 2020. The RPS will apply to investor-owned utilities, publicly-owned utilities, direct access providers, and community choice aggregators, including Marin Assembly Bill 1493 Pavley, 2002. Requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to develop and adopt regulations that achieve the maximum feasible reduction of greenhouse gasses from vehicles primarily used for non-commercial transportation by January 2005. In 2009, CARB adopted final regulations that are expected to reduce GHG emissions from California passenger vehicles by about 22 Senate Bill 1771. Sher, 2000. Requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) to prepare an inventory of the State's greenhouse gas emissions, to study data on global climate change, and to provide government agencies and businesses with information on the costs and methods for reducing greenhouse gases. Also éstablishes the California Climate Action Registry to serve as a certifying agency for companies and local governments to quantify and register their greenhouse gas emissions for possible future trading systems. Assembly Bill 32 Nuhez & Pavley, 2006. Also known as The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, institutes a mandatory limit on greénhouse gas pollution and requires a reduction in emissions in California to 1990 levels by the year 2020. The bill also directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to establish a mandatory reporting system to track and monitor emission levels and requires CARB to Senate Bill 375 Steinberg, 2008. Assigns a greenhouse gas reduction target for car and light truck' emissions for each region in the State represented by a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) that is to be addressed with a Sustainable Communities Strategy, (SCS). Also touches on planning for transportation, housing and the environment and requires Alternative Planning Strategy documents The most significant of these initiatives are AB 32 and SB 375; the first requires California to reduce its GHG to 1990 levels by 2020, and the second begins to tie GHG reductions to land use. In 2007, the. California Air Resources Board. (CARB) conducted an emissions inventory.for the state to identify emissions levels in 1990 that figure 427 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The inventory revealed. that transportation was the largest single sector (35% of the state's total 1990 emissions), followed by industrial emissions (24%), imported electricity (14%), in-state electricity generation (11%), residential use  toward residential and commercial solar development over 11 years.  of209érenewable resources.

San Anselmo Climate Action Plan - DRAFT March 2011  7    Preliminary estimates indicate that California's 2020. emission projections could be 600 million tons of CO,e if no actions are taken to reduce GHG. This means that California. must prevent 173 million tons of CO,e from being emitted by 2020.i in order to meet the 1990 levels as required by AB32. CARB is responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions set forth in AB 32, and is, therefore, coordinating statewide efforts. In December 2008, CARB adopted a Scoping Plan that outlines the actions required for California to reach its 2020 emission target. The actions include a broad set of clean energy, In 2009, CARB identified and implemented nine discrete early. action measures including regulations affecting landfills, motor vehicle fuels, refrigerants in cars, tire pressure, port operations and consumer products. Additional reduction measures to meet the 2020 target will be adopted in 2011. Key strategies identified in the Scoping Plan that are best developed and supported by local governments  clean transportation, and efficiency standards.  ina achieving the climate protection and emission reduction goals include:  Transportation and community design Local and regional emission targets Recycling and waste reduction Clean. energy Green buildings Water  The CARB Climate Change Scoping Plan "encourages local governments to adopt a reduction goal for municipal operations emissions and move toward establishing similar goals for community emissions that parallel the State commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 15 percent from current levels by 2020."7 However, CARB does not yet require cities to adopt climate action plans  as part of AB32 implementatione efforts. Marin County Climate Policy  Underpinning sustainability and climate change efforts in Marin County is the recognition that Marin residents consume resources at a far greater rate than most industrialized nations, and that the worldwide use of resources is exceeding the earth's capacity to renew them. One way to measure the. use of natural. resources against the planet's actual biocapacity and ability to renew those resources is. the "ecological footprint." It can bé calculated fori individuals, regions, countries, or the entiré earth and ise expressed as the number of global acres (acres with world average biological productivity) that it takes to support one person. As Figure 3 shows, the average American uses 24 global acres, per capita, while the average Marin resident requires 27 global acres. Other. western democracies, such as France, Germany, and Italy, have footprints of 13, 12, and 9.5 global acres per person, respectively. According to the Global Footprint network, if every person lived the lifestyle of one American, we would need five  planets to sustain us.  7California Air Resources Board, "Climate Change Scoping Plan," December 2008, p.27, itp/ww.arb.ca.ovle.kcoingpen.doanldocumentadopted scoping plan.pdf, accessed 3/31/10.

In 2006, Marin County developed a strategic plan to reduce annual GHG emissions to 15% below 1990 levels by 2020. In: 2007, the County re-inventoried their greenhouse gas emissions. Figures 4 and 5 show the distribution of County-wide GHG emissions by sector in 2005 and emission trends between 1990 and 2005. Total countywide greenhouse gas emissions increased by approximately 6% between 1990 and 2005, from 3,005,674 to 3,188,522 tons CO2e. This 6% rate of increase can be used as a proxy to estimate the increase in San Anselmo's emissions between 1990 and 2005, since actual data is While the County has taken important steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, al large portion of Marin County is operated and governed by the eleven local jurisdictions and numerous special distriçts.

Multi-urisdictional Approach: Marin Climate and Energy Partnership  Created in 2007, the mission of the Marin Climate & Energy. Partnership (MCEP) is to reduce greenhouse gas emission levels to the targets of Marin County and local municipalities, consistent with the standards set by AB32. All eleven Marin cities and towns, the Marin County Community Development Agency, the Transportation Authority of Marin, and the Marin Municipal Water District are members. The Marin' General" Services Authorityi is the joint powers authority with fiscal responsibility for the Partnership. One of MCEP's first projects was to work with ICLEI = Local Governments for Sustainability, a nonprofit organization, to develop greenhouse gas emissions inventories for the partner jurisdictions. With Bay Area Air Quality Management District grant funding, MCEP also worked on programs related to reducing energy use in municipal buildings, establishing a green. purchasing collaborative, reducing energy use in residential and commercial buildings, reducing emissions from private and municipal vehicles, and In2 2009, MCEP developed a green building strategic plan and green building policies which resulted in the Marin Green BERST model ordinance. The Marin Community Foundation provided funding for this effort, as well as funds to develop climate action plans for six partner jurisdictions. Partner members have agreed. to use their adopted climate action plans to identify mutual measures to reduce community.wide greenhouse gas emissions and develop policies and programs to support priority measures. The Town has worked closely with the Marin Climate and Energy Partnership to complete this climate action. plan, and to implement a coordinated approach to local and regional emissions  reducing energy use and emissions from waste.  reduction targets and climate action planning goals.

Profile  Located in Marin County approximately thirteen miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the center of beautiful Ross Valley, San Anselmo is a small town with a land area of 2.75 square miles and an estimated current population of 12,744. Primarily a residential community, San Anselmo has a vibrant and charming downtown with many restaurants and shops. The Town has public and private schools for. grades K-12, a post office, a library, police and fire stations, and a Town Hall. With abundant parks and open space, and both public and private recreational facilities, there are many recreational opportunities within town. Although some residents work in San Anselmo, a majority commute to jobs  in San Francisco, Marin County and other locations. 2.2 2005 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory  The first step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to identify. sources of emissions and establish baseline levels. This information can then inform the selection of a reduction target and possible reduction measures to be included int the climate action plan. In 2009, the Town prepared a report that inventories greenhouse gas emissions. from the. San Anselmo community and, as a subset of that analysis, local government operations. The report provides a detailed understanding of where the highest emissions are coming from, and, therefore, where the greatest opportunities for emissions reductions lie. The inventory also establishes a baseline emission inventory against which to measure The inventory analyzes four primary sectors of community emissions: residential, commercial, transportation, and waste. Residential and. commercial emissions come primarily from the on-site combustion of natural gas and the off-site generation of electricity for heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, and the operation of appliances and electrical devices. Transportation emissions result from the combustion of diesel and gasoline on roadways within the Town of San Anselmo. Waste emissions come from the decomposition of waste generated by residents and businesses in landfills outside the Government operations emissions are categorized according to six primary sectors: buildings; streetlights and park lighting; water delivery facilities such as irrigation systèms; vehicle fleet, including police and public works vehicles; govermment-generated solid waste, including public trash cans and The inventory, utilizes 2005 as the baseline year, as this year is increasingly becoming the standard for. such inventories. Due to lack of city-specific data, the 1990 baseline year utilized by the State of California is usually too difficult for most local governments to meet and would not produce the most accurate inventory. According to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Projections 2009, San Anselmo's population was 12,500 in 2005, and there were approximately 5,290 households. Included as ani indicator of commercial activity, the number ofj jobs within San Anselmo in 2005 was 4,990. 9 State of California, Department of Finance, E-1.

San Anselmo Climate Action Plan - DRAFT March 2011  11    Community Inventory Results  In 2005, the San Anselmo community emitted approximately 69,706 metric tons. of COze. As shown in Figure 6 below, the Transportation sector was the largest source ofe emissions, generating approximately 36,292 metric tons of CO,e, or 52.1% of total 2005 emissions. Transportation emissions are the result of diesel and gasoline combustion in vehicles traveling on local roads. Electricity and natural gas use in the Residential sector emitted 23,850 metric tons CO2e, representing 34.2% of total emissions. The Commercla/ndustrial seçtor, the third greatest source of 2005 emissions, generated 7,396 metric tons CO,e, or 10.6% of the total. The remaining 3.1% (2,168 metric tons) are the estimated future methane emissions that will result from the decomposition of waste that was generated by the San Anselmo  community during 2005.  Figure 6: 2005 Community CO2e Emissions  Waste; 3.1%  Residential 34.2%  Transportation 52.1%  Commercial 10.6%  Government Operations Inventory Results  In 2005, San Anselmo government operations emitted approximately 633 metric tons of CO,e.10 As shown in Table 1, the Employee Commute sector was the largest emitter (30.9%) in 2005. Emissions from: the Buildings sector produced the second highest quantity of emissions, resulting in 26.0% of total CO,e; and the Vehicle Fleet sector produced 23.3% oft total emissions. The remainder ofe emissions came from the Waste sector (6.6%) and the Lighting sector (12.7%), with nominal emissions from the Water sector. Emissions from government operations produced approximately 0.9% of total community  emissions.  10 This number includes all Scope 1 emissions from the on-site combustion of fuelsi in facilities and vehicles, Scope 2 emissions from. the purchase of electricity, and Scope 3 emissions from waste generated by local government  operations and emissions associated with employee. commute patterns.

Under a business-as-usual scenario, San Anselmo's emissions will grow by approximately 6.6% by the year 2020, from 69,706 to 74,295 metric tons CO,e. Table 2 shows the result of the forecast by sector. A variety of different reports and projections were used to create the  emissions forecast, as profiled below.

AB: 32 Scoping Plan.3 A target of 15% below 2005 emissions levels would limit community emissions to 59,250 metric tons in 2020. Figure 7 provides a comparison of the business-as-usual forecast for 2020 to the 2005 baseline year and the 15% reduction target. Figure 7 is also a depiction of San Anselmo's challenge in attempting to meet its reduction targets. Emissions will continue to increase. along the business-as-usual scenario while reduction efforts are initiated. Achieving the target is therefore more than a 15% decrease - rather, iti is a 20.3% reduction from projected 2020 emissions levels for the San Anselmo community.

When state reductions are. added, emissions in San Anselmo would be approximately 28% below 2005 levels = enough to allow the Town to surpass a reduction target of 15% Within government operations, the Town could achieve reductions of 256 metric tons CO2e, or approximately 40.4% below 2005 levels byi implementing all of the specific, measurable actions listed in the following sections. A wide range of programs that exceed the Town's reduction goal have been included to allow. for the consideration and prioritization of each program, based on its estimated cost, annual savings, and GHG reduction benefit, during the consideration of new programs, development projects, and funding opportunities. State actions would reduce emissions by another 6.3%, and  below the 2005 baseline by 2020.  programs to offset emissions could reduce emissions by an additional 27.3%.

Clearing and draining of wetlands, forestlands, grasslands and other open space for agriçultural production or urban development decreases or eliminates the capacity oft those natural systems to store carbon. The carbon- dioxide stored in soil, trees and other vegetation is released into the atmosphere when forestland and open space is converted to other uses. Restoration of these. natural areas, and establishment of new ones, has the potential to tie up or sequester greenhouse gas emissions in the This section' of San Anselmo's. Climate Action Plan, highlights carbon sequestration through the restoration and establishment of natural areas, as well as measures to offset the community's  form of soil and: wood carbon.  greenhouse gas emissions.

The more suburban the development (i.e., low density housing which causes residents to live further from urban centers), the less viable. are mass transit systems and other alternative modes of transportation such as walking or biking, and the more dependent residents become on the automobile. Studies have shown that people who live near transit drive between 20 and 40% less and that low-density suburban development generates twice as much GHG emissions per capita than a more dense urban development pattern. Asa result, the transportation sector is one oft the largest sources of GHG emissions. Though Marin County is known for its environmental consciousness, it is also known for its low-density developments, larger homes, multi-vehicle households; and consumerism. Italso ranks among the highest in the U.S. in térms Schools in Marin County also generate a high number of vehicle trips. According to the Transportation Authority of Marin, 21% of all AM peak hour trips are home-to-school trips.

Action Plan.-D DRAFT March 2011  19    3.4 Green Building, Energy Efficiency And Renewable Energy  The two fundamental means for reducing emissions from electricity and natural gas use are decreasing consumption through efficiency and switching from fossil fuels to renewable sources. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, buildings account for approximately 39% of total energy use, over 12% of the total water consumption, 68% of total electricity consumption, and 38% of all carbon Increasing the efficiency of buildings is the most cost-effective approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Programs which require minimum energy efficiency. upgrade for home remodeling, such asi increasing insulation and sealing heating ducts, have demonstrated energy savings of up to 20%. New construction techniques and building materials, known collectively as "green building," can significantly reduce the use of resources and energy and création of waste in our homes and commercial buildings. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from San Anselmo requires new. residential buildings greater than 500 square feet, residential additions, non- residential buildings, and government buildings to meet certain green building requirements. The Town's green building ordinance was adopted in 2010, and it is modeled on a countywide ordinance that increases building and energy efficiency standards above existing State mandates. In order to avoid double counting of emissions reductions, mitigation measures in this climate action plân assume all oft the measures are implemented. In this section, the government operations emissions reduction assumes all building energy efficiency upgrades, street light and traffic signal retrofits, and solar energy projects are implemented, and then calculates the cost and emissions reduction to purchase 100% renewable energy from Marin Clean Energy for the remaining electricity demand. The Town could also consider purchasing 100% renewable energy for all of its current electricity demand at an estimated cost of $6,865 per year and implementing efficiency and renewable energy projects at a later date. This action would result in an estimated greenhouse gas reduction of 153 metric tons, and  dioxide emissions annually int the United States.  design and construction to renovation and deconstruction.  would reduce Town emissions by 24% below 2005 levels.

Often, purchases that are. environmentally preferable are also fiscally preferable. These include energy star certified appliances, high-efficiency lighting and HVAC units, Many durable manufactured goods - from computers to motor vehicles - embody much oft the energy used (and carbon emitted) over their life span in their initial production.

San Anselmo Climate. Action Plan - DRAFT March 2011  23    3.6 Waste Reduction, Recycling and Zero Waste  The reduction. of waste, as well as the reuse and recycling of products; is keyt to reduçing impacts on the environment. It is necessary to rethink what has traditionally been regarded as garbage and treat all materials as valued resources instead of items to discard. This requires shifting consumption patterns, more carefully managing purchases, and maximizing the reuse of mâterials at the end of their useful life. The Town of San Anselmo is a member of the Marin Hazardous and Solid Waste Joint Powers Authority (IPA), which works with private waste haulers and facility operators to implement recycling programs and achieve state-mandated targets for waste diversion rates. Marin County has al high rate of diversion, In 2009, the JPA completed a zero-waste feasibility study. which concluded that between 75% and 80% of the material that goes to the landfill can be diverted. Currently the. JPA is targeting the diversion' of food waste and demolished building materials to increase the county's diversion rate. The JPA has embraced an aggressive goal for achieving zero waste based upon realizing 80% diversion of waste from The. JPA supports the collection and processing of green waste and food waste to create electricity from methane gas. The waste is processed in anaerobic digesters for soil amendments and the production of biogas. Biogas is the gas produced by anaerobic digestion of organic matter and consists of 60-80%. methane (natural gas), 30-40% carbon dioxide, and other trace gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia The JPA proposes that the member agencies endorse an Extended Producer Responsibility resolution and sign the California Product Stewardship Council pledge. to shift California's product waste management system from one focused on government funded and ratepayer financed waste diversion to one that relies on extended producer responsibility (EPR) in order to reduce public' costs and drive  with a current rate of about 72%.  disposal by 2012 and achieving zero waste by 2025.  and hydrogen.

In addition, demand for water fori irrigation rises with warmer temperatures. The actual impacts of the climate-induced change inv water quality, quantity and demand will depend on the changes in water policy and operations, and The Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) supplies clean drinking water to a 147 square-mile area of south and central Marin. MMWD's water comes from three main sources: local reservoirs, the Russian San Anselmo falls within MMWD's jurisdiction and all properties in San Anselmo are subject to the agency's water conservation regulations." The water conservation requirements, particularly irrigation efficiency, are fairly complex, and the Town relies on, MMWD to provide technical review and oversight on, water conservation and direction in regard to drought-tolerant landscaping. In December 2010, MMWD updated their' regulations to comply with CALGreen, the State's new Green Building code. The new CALGreen code requires every new building to reduce indoor and outdoor water use by 20%. requirements that apply to all newly constructed and Energy Usedi in California Homes (2005)  on the water use patterns of all communities.

MMWD has also adopted water-efficient landscaping rehabilitated developer-instaled residential landscapes of 1,000 square feet or greater, as well as homeowner. residential projects of2,500 square. feet or greater. In2007, MMWD adopted a Water Conservation Plan intended to reduce water usage by approximately 9% by 2020. At the end of fiscal year 2009-2010, water usage had fallen 8.7% below 2005 levels. Additional water conservation measures could further reduce greenhouse gas emissions in San Anselmo. The most effective way to reduce emissions from water use is by reducing. hot water use, as an estimated 35% ofenergy usedi in homes ist for water heating.

Action Plan - DRAFT March 2011  27    3.8 State Actions  The following are state reduction strategies included in the AB 32 Scoping Plan and accounted for in the Town's adjustment of the business-as-usual forecast. To clarify, the State. of California has approved, programmed, and/or.a adopted these actions. Furthermore, they are programs or projects that require no local involvement. Incorporating them into the forecast and reduction assessment provides a more  accurate picture of future emissions growth and the responsibility for action.  Low Carbon Fuel Standard  The State. is proposing to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels consumed in California. To achieve this, CARB is developing a Low Carbon. Fuel Standard (LCFS), which would reduce the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuels by at least 10% by 2020 and 20% by 2035 as called for by Governor Schwarzenegger in Executive Order S-01-07. LCFS will incorporate compliançe mechanisms that provide flexibility. to fuel providers. in how they meet the requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CARB estimates the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. will reduce California's projected 2020  transportation emissions by 6.7%. Pavley (AB 1493)  Assembly Bill 1493. (Pavley), signed into law in 2002, will require carmakers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new passenger cars and light trucks beginning in 2011. The California Air Resources Board adopted regulations in September 2004 that create two phases ofi increasingly stringent standards for car manufacturers between 2009 and 2020. The first phase, which has already been adopted, is  expected to reduce California's. projected 20201 transportation emissions by 7%.  Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)  Established in 2002 in Senate Bill 1078, the RPS programi requires electricity providers to increase the portion of energy that comes from renewable sources to 20% by 2010 and to 33% by 2020. CARB estimates the RPS will reduce Calforia'semissions from electricity use by 15.3%in2 2020.

To effectively address the challenges that a changing climate will bring, the Town must not only reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, but be prepared to respond to the expected impacts of climate change. Many of the mitigation measures incorporated in this Climate Action Plan will help the community prepare for the effects of climate change. Reducing water use will ease competition for limited water supplies expected from higher temperatures and reduced snowmelt, while reducing electricity use willl help ease demand for diminishing hydroelectric power. Other expected effects from climate change - such as a higher frequency ofl large damaging fires. and pest and insect epidemics-must! be anticipated through adequate publics safety, emergency, and Coastal communities like San Anselmo will be especially challenged by rising sea levels. Existing development in inundation areas will need to be adequately protected from flooding and erosion. due to climate change. The most practical approach for minimizing the effects from the adverse effect of sea level rise and storm activities is to carefully consider new development within areas vulnerable to  public health responses.  inundation and erosion.

San Anselmo Climate Action Plan - DRAFT March 2011.  29    4. PLAN IMPLEMENTATION  San Anselmo recognizes that responding to and preparing for climate change is a critical step toward a sustainable future. The Town's early actions to reduce its contribution to climate change reflect the Town'shistory: and commitment to decrease thei impacts of day-to-day activities on the natural environment while enhancing its vibrant quality of life. Mitigating climate change will require everyone- residents, businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations 5-1 to work togethert to This plan provides a strategy to achieve emission reductions that will achieve the Town's target of 15% below 2005 emissions by the year 2020. A wide range of programs that exceed the Town's reduction goal have been included to allowi for the evaluation and prioritization of potential programs and capital improvement projects as new program and funding opportunities arise. Successful implementation of the plan will require staff and the Town Council to identify and commit resources to climate change mitigation activities, and to monitor and report on progress towards meeting emissions reduction goals.  implement this plan.  Recommended Actions  1. Monitor and report on the Town's progress annually.  2. Update the baseline, greenhouse gas emissions inventory every five years.  3. Continue and expand public and private partnerships that support implementation oft the Climate Action Plan, including membership in the Marin Climate and Energy Partnership. 4. Identify funding sources for recommended actions, and pursue local, regional; state and federal  grants as appropriate.  5. Review'a and update the Climate Action Plan every five years.  6. Amend the Climate Action Plan as necessary to comply with state regulations.
