Code of Maine Rules › 06 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 096 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - GENERAL › Chapter 156 - CO[2] BUDGET TRADING PROGRAM › Section 096-156-9 - CO[2] Emissions Offset Projects

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A.
Purpose.
The Department will provide for the award of
				CO2 offset allowances to sponsors of
				CO2 emissions offset projects that have reduced or
				avoided atmospheric loading of CO2,
				CO2 equivalent, or sequestered carbon, as demonstrated
				in accordance with the applicable provisions of this section. The requirements
				of this section seek to ensure that CO2 offset
				allowances awarded represent CO2 equivalent emission
				reductions or carbon sequestration that are real, additional, verifiable,
				enforceable, and permanent within the framework of a standards-based approach.
				Subject to the relevant compliance deduction limitations of subsection
				5(D)(1)(c) of this
				Chapter, CO2 off set allowances may be used by any
				CO2 budget source for compliance purposes.
B.
General requirements.
(1) Eligible CO2
				emissions offset projects. The Department may award CO2
				offset allowances to the sponsor of any of the following offset projects that
				have satisfied all the applicable requirements of this section.
(a) Offset project types. The following types
				of offset projects are eligible for the award of CO2
				offset allowances.
(i) Landfill methane
				(CH4) capture and destruction;
(ii) Sequestration of carbon due to
				reforestation, improved forest management or avoided conversion;
(iii) Avoided methane emissions from
				agricultural manure management operations.

Current through 2024-29, July 17, 2024
A.
Authority to Temporarily Suspend Compliance Obligations
. The
				Commissioner has the authority, in the case of an emergency event, to
				temporarily suspend the compliance obligations of a CO2
				budget unit under its permit until such time as the Commissioner deems the
				emergency no longer exists.
B.
Process to Request a Temporary Suspension of Compliance
				Obligations
(1) A
				CO2 budget unit requesting a temporary suspension of
				compliance obligations shall submit the request in writing to the
				commissioner.
(2) The written
				request must provide the following:
(a) the
				name, location and relevant contact information sufficient for the Department
				to make immediate electronic or telephonic contact with the authorized
				representative and other representatives of the CO2
				budget unit;
(b) information
				sufficient to demonstrate:
(i) that an
				emergency event has occurred;
(ii)
				the duration and nature of the emergency event;
(iii) such other circumstances as the
				Commissioner deems relevant to the request; and
(iv) the authenticity and relevance of other
				information submitted by the applicant in support of its request.
(3) The Commissioner
				may request additional information from the applicant if necessary to review
				the request for a temporary suspension of compliance obligations.
(4) If in the judgment of the Commissioner
				the evidence submitted demonstrates that a temporary suspension of compliance
				obligations is justified due to the occurrence of an emergency event, as
				defined in this Chapter, the Commissioner will issue an order granting the
				temporary suspension. The order will suspend the compliance obligations of a
				source for a specified term during which the Commissioner finds compliance with
				the CO2 Budget Trading Program is not feasible due to
				the emergency event. A decision of the Commissioner under this subsection is
				final agency action.
