These criteria include but are not limited to the following:
- Emission reductions obtained through Carl Moyer Program projects must not be required by any federal, state or local regulation, memorandum of agreement/understanding with a regulatory agency, settlement agreement, mitigation requirement, or other legal mandate.
- Projects must meet a cost-effectiveness established by the District and calculated in accordance with the cost-effectiveness methodology in the 2017 Guidelines. All state funds plus any other funds under a district’s budget authority or fiduciary control contributed toward a project must be included in the cost-effectiveness calculation.
- No emission reductions generated by the Carl Moyer Program shall be used as marketable emission reduction credits, or to offset any emission reduction obligation of any person or entity.
- No project funded by the Carl Moyer Program shall be used for credit under any federal or state emission averaging banking and trading program.
- Funded projects must have at least 75 percent of their total activity for the project life in California.
