Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 These regulations establish the implementation framework for a pilot program
					 intended to offer a step toward reforming California's environmental permitting
					 system to make it more responsive, efficient, and timely, while preserving
					 California's commitment to a safe and healthful environment.
This pilot program, will allow the creation of up to
						twenty Permit Consolidation Zones among California's cities and counties.
						Within these zones, the current system of individually issued environmental
						permits will be augmented with a voluntary option allowing facilities to
						substitute a facility compliance plan in lieu of existing environmental permits
						for new or expanding facilities. The use of facility compliance plans is
						anticipated to expedite environmental permitting in the designated Permit
						Consolidation Zones and the pilot will provide an opportunity to test the
						facility compliance plan concept as a possible new model for environmental
						regulation.
The facility compliance plan represents a new regulatory
						approach and should be seen by those using these regulations as a new permit
						concept separate and distinct from existing environmental permits. The facility
						compliance plan constitutes a replacement for existing environmental permits.
						Section 1 of Chapter 5 (commencing with
						Section 71035) of Division 34 of the
						Public Resources Code) establishes separate and distinct timeframes for the
						processing of facility compliance plans. The facility compliance plan must
						contain all the information required by existing permits and, in addition,
						represents an opportunity for the compilation of a comprehensive, multimedia
						statement of environmental operations and management at a facility.
These regulations implement this program. Elements of the
						regulations include the application and competitive selection process for those
						communities who wish to join the pilot, a procedure for facilities to opt into
						a facility compliance plan, and a process to institute coordinated inspection
						and enforcement activities for facilities authorized by a facility compliance
						plan.
