Emergency backup generators: critical facilities: order for abatement: stipulations. exemptions.Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates air pollution control and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources. Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to identify toxic air contaminants that are emitted into the ambient air of the state and to establish airborne toxic control measures to reduce emissions of toxic air contaminants from nonvehicular sources.Existing law establishes one or more hearing boards with a specified membership in each air district for the purposes of performing specified functions, including issuing orders for abatement, after notice and a hearing, whenever the hearing boards find that any person is constructing or operating any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance without a permit or is in violation of specified laws or of any order, rule, or regulation prohibiting or limiting the discharge of air contaminants into the air.This bill would require, either commencing January 1, 2022, or 12 months after the adoption of require an air district without a specified rule on emergency backup generators, the air pollution control officer to develop stipulations, as specified, and conditions, as specified, for an order for abatement that allows as defined, as of January 1, 2021, that adopts such a rule to include in the rule provisions that allow the operator of a critical facility, as defined, to use a permitted emergency backup generator, as defined, generator in exceedance of that permits the applicable runtime and testing and maintenance limits if specified conditions are met. The bill would require the stipulations to be in effect for not more than 5 years or the length of time agreed upon for the replacement of the emergency backup generator in the conditions. The bill would specify that the stipulations are subject to the approval of the hearing board when the order for abatement is being considered. a critical facility allowed to exceed applicable limits under a rule adopted pursuant to that provision to attest to and provide evidence of having taken demonstrable steps toward implementing the use of backup power technologies that meet or exceed emission standards set by the state board. By adding to the duties of air districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Catastrophic wildfires and other natural disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change and other factors.(b) Wildfires dramatically increase carbon emissions and work against the states goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve a carbon-neutral future.(c) Wildfires and other natural disasters also can cause significant impacts and a threat to the states water and wastewater facilities, which are critical to ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for people, businesses, agriculture, and the environment.(d) To help mitigate the risks of wildfires, investor-owned utilities have initiated public safety power shutoffs to deenergize parts of their distribution systems, and, in some cases, portions of the transmission system, actions that reduce or eliminate access to a reliable power supply for the states water agencies as they count on a reliable source of electricity to move and deliver water.(e) Actions need to be taken to reduce the impacts of deenergization wildfires and other events on critical facilities, including increasing access to alternative power sources that can help support a safe and reliable water supply and maintain the states ability to effectively respond to wildfires.SEC. 2.Section 42451.1 is added to the Health and Safety Code, to read:42451.1.(a)For

horsepower and gas turbines greater than 2,975,000 British thermal units per hour for nonutility power generation that does not operate more than 200 hours per year and is only operated in the event of an emergency power failure or for routine testing and maintenance.(4)Loss of power means a failure in an electric generation, distribution, and transmission system or a disruption to electrical power from an electricity provider due to an emergency event, including a wildfire.(5)Public safety power shutoff means a preventative measure to deenergize all, or a portion of, an electric

district, including, but not limited to, both of the following:(1)(A)A schedule for the replacement of the Tier 1 or lower emergency backup generator with the cleanest, feasible, and applicable technology.(B)The replacement schedule shall be technically and economically feasible and consider the useful life of the emergency backup generator.(2)Reporting requirements after a deenergization event or testing and maintenance that results in an exceedance of the permits operational limit.(d)The stipulations developed pursuant to subdivision (b) shall not be in effect for more than five years or the length of time agreed upon for the replacement of the emergency backup generator.(e)The stipulations developed pursuant to subdivision (b) shall be subject to the approval of the hearing board when the order for abatement is being considered pursuant to Section 42451.SEC. 2.

can cause significant impacts and a threat to the states water and wastewater facilities, which are critical to ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for people, businesses, agriculture, and the environment.(d) To help mitigate the risks of wildfires, investor-owned utilities have initiated public safety power shutoffs to deenergize parts of their distribution systems, and, in some cases, portions of the transmission system, actions that reduce or eliminate access to a reliable power supply for the states water agencies as they count on a reliable source of electricity to move and deliver water.(e) Actions need to be taken to reduce the impacts of deenergization wildfires and other events on critical facilities, including increasing access to alternative power sources that can
