ARROYO LAGO RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ADDENDUM FCS 121 Https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480036/Addendum/21480036 Arroyo Lago Residential Project Addendum.docx Implementing Measure for MM GHG-1 Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall provide documentation (e.g., site plan) to the City of Pleasanton (City) demonstrating that all proposed residential units include pre-wiring to allow future retrofit to all-electric appliances (e.g., electric space heating, water heating, drying, and cooking). MM GHG-2 Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall provide documentation to the County to demonstrate purchase of carbon offsets that reduce the project’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to natural gas use, which is estimated to be 478 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e), if no other on-site measures are implemented to further reduce emissions. Based on estimated project life of 30 years, total credits needed to offset emissions below the applicable thresholds would be 14,341 MT CO2e for the life of the proposed project (or a reduced amount estimated based on implementation of other measures or preparation of refined emission modeling). The project developer or its designee may purchase and retire carbon credits that have been issued by a recognized and reputable, accredited carbon registry in a quantity equal to the operational GHG emissions from natural gas use. For an offset to be considered viable, it must exhibit “permanence.” To adequately reduce emissions of GHGs, carbon offsets must be able to demonstrate the ability to counterbalance GHG emissions over the lifespan of a project or “in perpetuity.” The purchase of GHG credits through voluntary participation in an approved registry must meet the following criteria: • Real—represent reductions actually achieved (not based on maximum permit levels), • Additional/Surplus—not already planned or required by regulation or policy (i.e., not double counted), • Quantifiable—readily accounted for through process information and other reliable data, • Enforceable—acquired through legally-binding commitments/agreements, • Validated—verified through accurate means by a reliable third party, and • Permanent—will remain as GHG reductions in perpetuity. Implementing Measure for MM GHG-2 Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall provide documentation to the City of Pleasanton (City) demonstrating purchase and retirement of carbon offsets from a recognized and reputable, accredited carbon registry in a quantity sufficient to offset the proposed project’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from natural gas use, as specified in MM GHG-2.
