(a) The district may develop and adopt by regulation, not later than January 1, 2008, a program to offset or mitigate the increased emissions of air contaminants resulting from the operation of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program within the district. If the district implements a program under this subdivision, the district shall provide grants to projects that the district determines will provide measurable reductions in emissions of air contaminants in the district, and may include projects that reduce emissions from stationary or mobile sources within the district. Any emission reductions achieved pursuant to this program shall be surplus, quantifiable, permanent, and enforceable and shall not otherwise be required by law or regulation.
(b) For purposes of this section:
(1) “Joint Strike Fighter Impact Zone” means Kings County.
(2) “Base fiscal year” means the 2003–04 fiscal year.
(3) “State tax revenues” includes revenues derived from the imposition of taxes under the Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 6001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code), the Personal Income Tax Law (Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code), and the Corporation Tax Law (Part 11 (commencing with Section 23001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code).
(c) (1) The California Research Bureau, in consultation with the State Board of Equalization and the Franchise Tax Board, shall, no later than December 31, 2004, calculate the state tax revenues derived from, or attributable to, the Joint Strike Fighter Impact Zone during the base fiscal year.
(2) The California Research Bureau, in consultation with the State Board of Equalization and the Franchise Tax Board, shall, no later than December 31, 2007, and no later than December 31 of each following year, calculate the state tax revenues derived from, or attributable to, the Joint Strike Fighter Impact Zone during the preceding fiscal year.

2023 California Code › Health and Safety Code - HSC › DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES › PART 3 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICTS › CHAPTER 5.8 - San Joaquin Valley Clean Air Attainment Program › Section 40610.

40610. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Residents of the San Joaquin Valley suffer some of the worst air quality in the world. This poor air quality poses a significant threat to public health, the environment, and the economy of the valley.
(b) The extreme difficulty for the valley to meet state and federal ambient air quality standards requires an urgent and unified program that combines more strict clean air rules and regulations and ongoing funding to clean up those sources that cannot be regulated effectively.
(c) The purpose of this chapter is to establish a program for the San Joaquin Valley to achieve state and federal ambient air quality standards by the earliest practicable date.

40709. (a)  Every district board shall establish by regulation a system by which all reductions in the emission of air contaminants that are to be used to offset certain future increases in the emission of air contaminants shall be banked prior to use to offset future increases in emissions. The system shall provide that only those reductions in the emission of air contaminants that are not otherwise required by any federal, state, or district law, rule, order, permit, or regulation shall be registered, certified, or otherwise approved by the district air pollution control officer before they may be banked and used to offset future increases in the emission of air contaminants. The system shall be subject to disapproval by the state board pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 41500) of Part 4 within 60 days after adoption by the district.
(b)  The system is not intended to recognize any preexisting right to emit air contaminants, but to provide a mechanism for districts to recognize the existence of reductions of air contaminants that can be used as offsets, and to provide greater certainty that the offsets shall be available for emitting industries.
(c)  Notwithstanding subdivision (a), emissions reductions proposed to offset simultaneous emissions increases within the same stationary source need not be banked prior to use as offsets, if those reductions satisfy all criteria established by regulation pursuant to subdivision (a).
(d)  This section does not apply to any district that is not required to prepare and submit a plan for attainment of state ambient air quality standards pursuant to Section 40911 if both of the following apply to the district:
(1)  The district is not in a federal nonattainment area for any national ambient air quality standard unless the sole reason for the nonattainment is due to air pollutant transport.
(2)  An owner or operator of a source or proposed source has not petitioned the district to establish a banking system.

2023 California Code › Health and Safety Code - HSC › DIVISION 26 - AIR RESOURCES › PART 3 - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICTS › CHAPTER 6 - General Powers and Duties › Section 40709.5.

40709.5. Any district which has established a system pursuant to Section 40709 by which reductions in emissions may be banked or otherwise credited to offset future increases in the emissions of air contaminants, or which utilize a calculation method which enables internal emission reductions to be credited against increases in emissions, and as of January 1, 1988, is within a federally designated nonattainment area for one or more air pollutants, shall develop and implement a program which, at a minimum, provides for all of the following:
(a)  Identification and tracking of sources possessing emission credit balances accruing from the elimination or replacement of older, higher emitting equipment.
(b)  Periodic analysis of the increases or decreases in emissions which occur when credits are used to bring new or modified emission sources into operation.
(c)  Procedures for verifying the emission reductions credited to the bank or accruing to internal accounts, and for adjusting of credited emissions based on current district requirements.
(d)  Periodic evaluation of the extent to which the system has contributed or detracted from the goal of allowing economic growth and modification of existing facilities, and has contributed to or detracted from the district’s progress toward attainment of ambient air quality standards.
(e)  Annual publication of the costs, in dollars per ton, of emission offsets purchased for new or modified emission sources, excluding information on the identity of any party involved in the offset transactions. This publication shall specify, for each offset purchase transaction, the year the offset transaction occurred, the amount of offsets purchased, by pollutant, and the total cost, by pollutant, of the offsets purchased. Each application to use emissions reductions banked in a system established pursuant to Section 40709 shall provide sufficient information, as determined by the district, to perform the cost analysis. The information shall be a public record.
