California oil spill contingency plan. Enhanced infrastructure financing districts.Existing law establishes procedures for the formation of infrastructure financing districts, enhanced infrastructure financing districts, infrastructure and revitalization financing districts, and community revitalization and investment authorities, as specified, to undertake various economic development projects, including financing public facilities and infrastructure, affordable housing, and economic revitalization. Existing law authorizes the issuance of bonds for the funding of these purposes, and, in the case of an enhanced infrastructure financing district, requires voter approval, as specified, for the issuance of those bonds. Existing law, the Neighborhood Infill Finance and Transit Improvements Act, authorizes a city, county, or city and county to adopt a resolution, at any time before or after the adoption of the infrastructure financing plan for an enhanced infrastructure financing district, to allocate, under specified circumstances, tax revenues of that entity to the district, including revenues derived from local sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law or transactions and use taxes imposed in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law.This bill would enact the Second Neighborhood Infill Finance and Transit Improvements Act, which would similarly authorize a city, county, or city and county to adopt a resolution, at any time before or after the adoption of the infrastructure financing plan for an enhanced infrastructure financing district, to allocate tax revenues of that entity to the district, including revenues derived from local sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law or transactions and use taxes imposed in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law, if the area to be financed is within one-half mile of a rail transit station or within 300 feet of a transit rich boulevard served by bus rapid transit or high-frequency bus service, as specified, and among other things, certain conditions relating to housing and the infrastructure financing plan are or will be met.

The Governor shall require the administrator, not in conflict with the National Contingency Plan, to amend the California oil spill contingency plan to provide for the best achievable protection of waters of the state. Administrator for purposes of this section means the administrator appointed by the Governor pursuant to Section 8670.4. The plan shall consist of all of the following elements:
(a)A state response element that specifies the hierarchy for state and local agency response to an oil spill. The element shall define the necessary tasks for the oversight and control of cleanup and removal activities associated with an oil spill and shall specify each agencys particular responsibility in carrying out these tasks. The element shall also include an organizational chart of the state oil spill response organization and a definition of the resources, capabilities, and response assignments of each agency involved in cleanup and removal actions in an oil spill.
(b)A regional and local planning element that shall provide the framework for the involvement of regional and local agencies in the state effort to respond to an oil spill and shall ensure the effective and efficient use of regional and local resources, as appropriate, in all of the following:
(1)Traffic and crowd control.
(2)Firefighting.
(3)Boating traffic control.
(4)Radio and communications control and the provision of access to equipment.
(5)Identification and use of available local and regional equipment or other resources suitable for use in cleanup and removal actions.
(6)Identification of private and volunteer resources or personnel with special or unique capabilities relating to oil spill cleanup and removal actions.
(7)Provision of medical emergency services.
(8)Consideration of the identification and use of private working craft and mariners, including commercial fishing vessels and licensed commercial fishing men and women, in containment, cleanup, and removal actions.
(c)A coastal protection element that establishes the state standards for coastline protection. The administrator, in consultation with the Coast Guard and Navy and the shipping industry, shall develop criteria for coastline protection. If appropriate, the administrator shall consult with representatives from the States of Alaska, Washington, and Oregon; the Province of British Columbia in Canada; and the Republic of Mexico. The criteria shall designate at least all of the following:
(1)Appropriate shipping lanes and navigational aids for tankers, barges, and other commercial vessels to reduce the likelihood of collisions between tankers, barges, and other commercial vessels. Designated shipping lanes shall be located off the coastline at a distance sufficient to significantly reduce the likelihood that disabled vessels will run aground along the coast of the state.
(2)Ship position reporting and communications requirements.
(3)Required predeployment of protective equipment for sensitive environmental areas along the coastline.
(4)Required emergency response vessels that are capable of preventing disabled tankers from running aground.
(5)Required emergency response vessels that are capable of commencing oil cleanup operations before spilled oil can reach the shoreline.
(6)An expedited decisionmaking process for dispersant use in coastal waters. Prior to adoption of the process, the administrator shall ensure that a comprehensive testing program is carried out for any dispersant proposed for use in California marine waters. The testing program shall evaluate the toxicity and effectiveness of the dispersants.
(7)Required rehabilitation facilities for wildlife injured by spilled oil.
(8)An assessment of how activities that usually require a permit from a state or local agency may be expedited or issued by the administrator in the event of an oil spill.
(d)An environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas element that shall provide the framework for prioritizing and ensuring the protection of environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas. The environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas element shall be developed by the administrator, in conjunction with appropriate local agencies, and shall include all of the following:
(1)Identification and prioritization of environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas in state waters and along the coast. The identification and prioritization of environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas shall not prevent or excuse the use of all reasonably available containment and cleanup resources from being used to protect every environmentally and ecologically sensitive area possible. Environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas shall be prioritized through the evaluation of criteria, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(A)Risk of contamination by oil after a spill.
(B)Environmental, ecological, recreational, and economic importance.
(C)Risk of public exposure should the area be contaminated.
(2)Regional maps depicting environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas in state waters or along the coast that shall be distributed to facilities and local and state agencies. The maps shall designate those areas that have a particularly high priority for protection against oil spills.
(3)A plan for protection actions required to be taken in the event of an oil spill for each of the environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas and protection priorities for the first 24 to 48 hours after an oil spill shall be specified.
(4)The location of available response equipment and the availability of trained personnel to deploy the equipment to protect the priority environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas.
(5)A program for systemically testing and revising, if necessary, protection strategies for each of the priority environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas.
(6)Any recommendations for action that cannot be financed or implemented pursuant to existing authority of the administrator. Those recommendations shall also be reported to the Legislature along with recommendations for financing those actions.
(e)A reporting element that requires the reporting of spills of any amount of oil in or on state waters.
(f)(1)A communications element that shall provide the framework for efficient and timely communications within the unified command; between local, state, and federal agencies; and with the public. This element shall be developed by the administrator, with the administrator requesting input from local agencies, and shall include all of the following:
(A)A process for developing and maintaining a database of local public information officers in each coastal county.
(B)A mechanism to ensure critical information from local agencies or local nongovernmental organizations can be shared with relevant members of the unified command.
(C)A process for early community outreach in affected areas that ensures the public has up-to-date and timely information on the oil spill, including a protocol for informing each community, city, county, and city and county of the name of the responsible party and of the right of affected parties to file claims against the responsible party.
(2)The administrator shall incorporate this element within the California oil spill contingency planning framework established by federal and state law and regulation, to the extent feasible.
