Comment:
Dear Chairwoman Nichols and Board Members: The City Project joins in (1) the September 15, 2014, letter from the SB535 Coalition to the Air Resources Board (ARB) re Comments on Draft Interim Guidance on Investments to Benefit Disadvantaged Communities; and (2) the September 15, 2014, letter from Los Angeles-based environmental justice groups to ARB re greenhouse gas reduction funds and SB 535 standards, to the extent those letters are not inconsistent with the position described below. We write separately here on the need to explicitly address equity and disparities based on race, color, or national origin, and compliance in the planning and implementation process with federal and state civil rights and environmental justice laws and principles. We fully incorporate by reference here the attached September 15, 2014, letter from The City Project to Arsenio Mataka, Assistant Secretary for Environmental Justice and Tribal Affairs re explicitly addressing equity and disparities based on race, color, or national origin, and compliance in the planning and implementation process with federal and state civil rights and environmental justice laws and principles. Sincerely, Robert Garcia Founding Director and Counsel
