PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The CAP is intended to achieve the following additional objectives:
• Continue greening CDCR's operations and reducing GHG emissions in conformance with various
EOs and legislative requirements, including:
• Assembly Bill (AB) 32, which established a statewide GHG reduction target of 1990 levels by
2020;
• EO B-30-15, which established a mid-term statewide GHG reduction target of 40 percent below
1990 levels by 2030 (subsequently codified into statute in Senate Bill [SB] 32);
• EO S-3-05, which set a long-term GHG reduction goal of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050
(and was restated in EO B-30-15);
EO B-18-12, which established the State's Green Buildings Action Plan and set forth reduction
targets for GHG emissions, energy, and fuel usage reductions for all State agencies and set
other goals to work towards sustainability;
• EO B-16-12, which set forth zero-emission vehicle fleet purchasing requirements for State
agencies; and
• EO B-29-15, which set forth statewide water use reduction targets in response to prolonged
drought.
• Develop a GHG reduction plan that meets the requirements of Section 15183.5 of the CEQA
Guidelines, which will provide for tiering and streamlining analysis of GHG emissions of future
projects undertaken by CDCR which are consistent with the GHG reduction plan.
• Develop a Department-wide climate adaptation strategy, which will include an analysis of the effects
of climate change as they relate to CDCR facilities and operations, along with potential climate
adaptation strategies to reduce climate-related risk and improve CDCR's resilience.
• Identify and provide programmatic CEQA coverage for various projects and actions, including
installation of infrastructure and modification of facilities, to facilitate GHG reduction- and climate
adaptation-related infrastructure at CDCR facilities throughout the state.
PROJECT BACKGROUND..
In order to understand CDCR's objectives.for the CAP and the Department's overall sustainability
goals, it is important to understand the history and development pattern of state correctional facilities
throughout California and also the extent to which CDCR currently conserves and produces energy at
its facilities.
CDCR's correctional facilities generally fall into generally three categories: the original 12 prisons,
which were mostly constructed between 1852 and 1970; the 22 contemporary facilities, which were
constructed after 1980; and, most recently, an existing leased adult correctional facility operated by the
Department. (Table 1 shows the year of activation for the oldest facility at each location.) At the time
they were built, the original prisons were located away from population centers in rural areas and near
military bases (now closed). For example, when it was constructed in 1852 prior to the construction of
the Golden Gate Bridge, San Quentin was extremely remote and difficult to reach.
When the need arose to construct new prisons in the 1980s, CDCR either located new facilities next to
existing facilities, where infrastructure was already available, or they sited new facilities based on
requests by cities and counties. Accommodating these requests generally resulted in development of
CDCR CAP NOP
Page 6
prisons in rural agricultural areas, such as the San Joaquin Valley (e.g., Delano, Wasco, Corcoran,
Avenal, etc., or in desert regions, such as eastern Riverside County (e.g., Chuckawalla and Ironwood)
and the Imperial Valley (e.g., Calipatria and Centinela). As noted, above, CDCR now leases one adult
correctional facility in California City. This facility is fully operated by the Department.
CDCR has prioritized efficient use of State-owned land. Over the past 15 years, CDCR has primarily
built new facilities where there is sufficient State-owned land adjacent to an existing correctional facility
and where utilities and infrastructure are generally available to support a new facility. Examples include
the second prison at Chowchilla, the second Kern facility, and Ironwood; and construction of new"infill"
prison expansions such as the recently completed Level II facilities at RJ Donovan Correctional Facility
and Mule Creek State Prison. More recently, CDCR has used redevelopment opportunities at closed
facilities such as the construction of the California Health Care Facility south of Stockton at the site of
two former youth correctional facilities.
CDCR is a leader among State agencies in the development of alternative energy sources. To date,
CDCR has completed 16 on-site renewable solar generation projects at 12 existing institutions totaling
34 megawatts (MW) in electrical generation capacity, using third-party power purchase agreements
(PPA's). CDCR recently awarded or will soon award an additional 19 solar PPA projects, along with 3
new wind turbine projects, for a total of 62 MW in generation capacity at existing facilities. CDCR is also
currently studying the potential for an additional 25 MW worth of renewable energy systems at existing
facilities. In total, CDCR's statewide on-site renewable energy portfolio is positioned to exceed 100 MW
L' 'L. L..
LL- .J L nnn
in generation capacity uy t e end of LVLC.
CDCR has also been a leader in sustainable design and construction, including meeting and exceeding
energy-conservation-standardsin-new construction and-on-renovation-o#existing-facili ies.--Over-the past -
six years, every new CDCR facility has received either Gold or Silver certification in the U.S. Green
Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green buildings rating
program, and has typically exceeded the Title 24 Part 6 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
This-includes the construction of 60 new LEED-certified buildings, and the achievement of 7 LEED-
certified leased buildings. CDCR has identified an additional eight projects that would be designed to
meet or exceed LEED Silver certification requirements. There are also over 150 Health Care Facility
Improvement Program (HCFIP) sub-projects (primarily support facilities) currently in construction that are
designed to meet or exceed California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requirements.
Finally, CDCR has identified several potential zero net energy (ZNE) building projects that are currently in
design and/or under construction or are in the certification process.
Since 2008, CDCR has engaged in a collaborative effort through the California Investor Owned Utilities
Energy Efficiency Partnership Program (administered by individual utility providers) to improve energy
efficiency in its existing facilities. As of July 2017, CDCR completed 97 energy efficiency projects that
have yielded a combined GHG emissions reduction of 64,866 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
(MTCO2e) per year. Looking forward to 2018 and beyond, CDCR has identified at least three additional
energy efficiency projects that are expected to result in an additional GHG emissions reduction of over
10.000 metric tons per year.
These programs, partnerships, and overall CDCR efforts have led to a decrease in total grid-based
energy purchases of 11 percent and a 24 percent decrease in CDCR's total energy use intensity (EUI)
rate since 2003, despite a 17 percent increase of CDCR's total institutional footprint by square footage.
CDCR has exceeded the 10 percent entity-wide GHG emissions reduction goal by 2015 set by
Governor Brown in 2012 and is on track to meet the Governor's goal of a 20 percent GHG emissions
reduction below 2010 levels by 2020.
CDCR CAP NOP

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
The CAP is being developed in response to State legislation and policies that are aimed at reducing
Statewide GHG emissions. These include AB 32, which tasked the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) with developing a Climate Change Scoping Plan to establish an interim target to achieve 1990
levels of GHG emissions by 2020 and provide a path for local governments and State agencies to
contribute their fair share of the GHG reductions necessary to achieve the target; and, SB 32, which
requires a Statewide GHG reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.
Both AB 32 and SB 32 set specific and increasingly-stringent statewide GHG emission reduction
targets designed to be consistent with EO S-3-05, which calls for a long-term Statewide GHG reduction
goal,of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. This longer-term 2050 emissions reduction goal for
California is based on substantial scientific evidence that calls for global GHG emissions reductions of
this magnitude in order to avoid the most catastrophic effects of global climate change. Both the AB 32
and SB 32 targets are designed to put the State on a pathway toward reaching the stated 2050 goal.
The CAP will include a summary of baseline GHG emissions from CDCR operations and potential
changes in these emissions in 2020 and 2030. Based on CDCR's preliminary emissions inventory,
CDCR's total annual emissions in 2015 were an estimated 823,800 MTCO2e. This represents a 17
percent decrease from 2010 levels when CDCR's total annual emissions were approximately 988,200
MTCO2e. The CAP will identify specific measures and actions designed to achieve GHG reductions
needed to meet CDCR's fair share of the State's 2020 and 2030.targets. The measures will build on the
successes already achieved by CDCR, but the CAP will also identify new GHG reduction measures not
previously implemented that would be required to meet the 2030 target.
It is anticipated the CAP will consider GHG reduction strategies and implementing actions for the
following sectors:
• Transportation (On-Road Transportation and Off-Road Transportation),
• Energy (Electricity and Natural Gas),
• Solid Waste,
• Water, and
• Wastewater.
GHG reductions from these sectors could be derived from actions such as increased renewable energy
development, ZNE facilities, electric vehicle charging stations, zero emission vehicles, and water
conservation and recycling. Examples of actions CDCR is considering at various facilities and will
evaluate in the EIR include (but are not limited to):
• Continue to install onsite renewable energy facilities (e.g., solar photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines);
• Continue to upgrade HVAC and evaporative cooling systems with energy-efficient equipment;
• Upgrade outdoor and indoor lighting to incorporate LED technology;
• Replace natural gas boilers and water heating systems with electric or renewable energy-powered
equipment;
• Incorporate recycled water infrastructure to reduce use of potable water;
• Incorporate composting programs to reduce landfilled waste;
• Increase water conservation; and
• Upgrade diesel-and liquid-natural-gas- (LNG) powered vehicles to models that use renewable
fuels.
CDCR CAP NOP
Page 8
The CAP will also include climate adaptation measures that would help to prepare CDCR facilities and
operations for the adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme heat, increased flooding due to
sea-level rise and changing precipitation patterns, increased wildfire risk, and other related impacts.
Some of the measures identified for GHG reduction will also function as adaptation measures, including
increased water conservation and incorporation of recycled water infrastructure. Additional adaptation
measures will be considered as needed.
The CAP and CAP EIR will be prepared consistent with the tiering and streamlining provisions of
Section 15183.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The CAP EIR will provide the appropriate level of
environmental review to allow future projects to tier from and streamline their analysis of GHG
emissions pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(2).
POTENTIAL APPROVALS AND PERMITS REQUIRED
CDCR has approval authority over the CAP and, to approve the CAP, must adopt environmental
findings and mitigation measures, and, if necessary, adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations.
No other agency has discretionary or other approval authority over the proposed CAP. Future CDCR
projects identified in the CAP may require permits from other agencies, such as California Department
of Fish and Wildlife.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Environmental issues that are not likely to result in significant impacts to the environment will be fully
addressed in the introduction to the EIR (Effects Found Not to Be Significant). Issues expected to be
----- - elimInated-for-analysis in-the-EIR-through the scoping-process-are expected-to-include-aest-hetics,—
geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water
quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services,
recreation, traffic and transportation, and utilities.
The EIR is expected to focus on agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, and cultural
and historical resources. Below is a brief discussion for each of these environmental issue areas.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
The CAP may identify GHG reduction and climate adaptation measures that require placement of
structures or other facilities., (incl'. ding r.�ne—able energy fa..vilities, such as 3^viar photovoltaic panels or
windmills) on parcels that contain Important Farmland. The EIR will evaluate impacts associated with
the potential conversion of important Farmland to nonagricuiturai use.
- AIR QUALITY -
GHG reduction and climate adaptation measures identified in the CAP, such as installation of
renewable energy facilities and ;Incorporation of recycled water infrastructure may require construction
activities that would emit air pollutants. The EIR will evaluate the potential for implementation of these
measures to result in emission of air pollutants that exceed applicable air district thresholds.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Measures included in the CAP to reduce CDCR's overall GHG emissions and help CDCR facilities
adapt to climate change effects may require construction and placement of facilities in areas that
contain sensitive habitat or that may adversely affect special-status plant or wildlife species. The EIR
will evaluate potential biological-resource impacts associated with implementation of the CAP
measures.
CDCR CAP NOP
Page 9
CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL RESOURCES
The CAP may identify GHG reduction and climate adaptation measures that would require construction
or placement of facilities on vacant land or other land that may contain archaeological resources and
tribal cultural resources. The measures also may include equipment upgrades or installation, or other
construction activities that could potentially affect historic structures. The EIR will evaluate the potential
for implementation of the CAP measures to result in impacts on historic and prehistoric archaeological
and structural features. The EIR will also describe potential impacts to any tribal cultural resources
identified during AB 52 consultation.
ALTERNATIVES TO BE EVALUATED IN THE EIR
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the EIR will describe a reasonable range of
alternatives to the proposed project that are capable of meeting most of the project's objectives, but
would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project. The EIR will also identify
any alternatives that were considered but rejected by the lead agency as infeasible and briefly explain
the reasons why. The EIR will also provide an analysis of the No Project Alternative.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
Interested individuals, groups, and agencies may provide CDCR with written comments on topics to be
addressed in the EIR for the project. In accordance with time limits mandated by State law(e.g.,
minimum 30-day public review of a NOP), comments should be provided no later than 5:00 p.m. on
August 14, 2018. Please send all comments to:
