TWENTY FIVE TWENTY EIGHT SEEKS
TO MAKE CALIFORNIA HABITATS MORE
CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN THE FACE
OF ONGOING CLIMATE CHANGE AND I
WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIR OF
THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
ATTENTION OF THE BILL AND WILL
BEGIN BY ACCEPTING COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS IS NOTED ON PAGE FOR
THE ANALYSIS.
AND ADDS THAT ANALYSIS STATES
THERE IS SOME CONCERN FROM
OPPOSITION REGARDING THE BILL'S
USE AND DEFINITION OF THE WORD
STRONGHOLD.
OF THIS IS A TERM THAT'S USED
MANY OTHER TIMES IN STATUTE AND
SO THAT COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS.
CHANGE THE TERM TO SELL
MONITORED.
STRONGHOLDS WHICH WILL CLARIFY
THE INTENTION OF THE SPONSORS
AND PROTECTING THE ENDANGERED
SELMON AT SPECIES AND MAKE THE
TERM MORE DISCREET FROM OTHER
STRONGHOLD REFERENCES IN STATUTE
WE THINK THIS WILL CLEAR UP ANY
AMBIGUITIES.
THE STATE'S CLIMATE ADAPTATION
STRATEGY COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS
THE SAFEGUARDING PLAN IS A
TRIENNIAL REPORT WHOSE PURPOSE
IS TO IDENTIFY STATE AND
REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE
VULNERABILITIES AND STRATEGIES.
TO ADDRESS THESE VULNERABILITIES
AB TWENTY FIVE TWENTY EIGHT
BUILDS OFF OF THIS REPORT AND
ENSURES THAT AREAS THAT ARE MOST
IMPORTANT TO CALIFORNIA'S LONG
TERM RESILIENCE.
ARE ADEQUATELY ANALYZED AND
CONSIDER FOR LONG TERM IMPACTS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE INCLUDING
SPRING FED SOURCE WATERSHEDS.
SALMON AND STEEL HEAD
STRONGHOLDS MOUNTAIN MEADOWS AND
ESTUARIES THESE ARE CRITICAL
ZONES FOR EVERYTHING FROM
SPECIES PRESERVATION TO WILDLIFE
EXCUSE ME WILDFIRE PREVENTION.
AND THE SENATE ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT OUR MARK SMITH FROM
CAL TROUT TO THE SPONSOR OF THE
MEASURE AND PAUL MASON FROM THE
PACIFIC FORCE TRUST THAT THEIR
CONDUCT.
THANK YOU FIRST WITNESS.
YES MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MARK
SMITH ON BEHALF OF THE SPONSORS
OF THE MEASURE CALIFORNIA TROUT --
RESPECTFULLY ASKING FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE TODAY --
PLEASED TO BE WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR WHOSE CARRIED SOME
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION ON TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
OUR STATES UPPER WATERSHEDS.
WHICH PRODUCED TWO THIRDS OF THE
STATES DRINKING AND USABLE WATER
THESE ARE THE SPRING FED
AQUIFER'S AT ARDEN UP ABOVE
SHASTA AND ORVILLE.
HOW THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
WATER EVEN IN THE FACE OF
EXTREME DROUGHT WHICH IS WHAT WE
HAD THE?
PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS.
BUT DESPITE.
THE IMPORTANCE THAT THIS --
REGION AND THAT THESE WATERS
HAVE TO OUR STATE WE DON'T
UNDERSTAND THEM VERY WELL --
WE ARE FACED WITH CATASTROPHIC
WILDFIRES THAT IMPACT WATER
QUALITY AND WATER QUANTITY --
AND THE PURPOSE OF SAFEGUARDING
PLAN IS REALLY TO ANALYZE THESE
THINGS IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE
CHANGE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND THAT'S WHY WE
FEEL.
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT. TO HAVE
THIS DISCUSSION TO ASK THE STATE
TO LOOK AT THESE AREAS THAT
INCLUDES OUR SOURCE WATERS IT
INCLUDES OUR STRONGHOLDS --
OUR MOUNTAIN MEADOWS AND A WE
BELIEVE THAT THE OF THE
SAFEGUARDING PLAN IS JUST THAT
IT'S AN ANALYSIS THE OPPOSITION
WILL COME UP AND TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS AT THIS
LEADS TO PERMITTING ISSUES AND
REGULATORY ISSUES AND THAT'S NOT
WHAT THIS PLAN IS ABOUT THIS
PLAN DOES.
NOT SET THE TABLE FOR THAT IT
DOES NOT DO THAT --
ALSO WE'VE TAKEN A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS AND WE CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE OPPOSITION TO
REMOVE TERMS LIKE PROTECT AND
ENHANCE.
ON AND TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION WHEREVER WE CAN TO
ENSURE THAT NO THIS IS REALLY A
BILL ABOUT UNDERSTANDING.
AND BEING READY --
TO ENGAGED --
WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AND PROTECT
THESE AT WHAT PROTECT IS THE
WRONG WORD BUT TO TRY.
TO UNDERSTAND WHY AND HOW THESE
AREAS CAN AND PLAY A ROLE IN
CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE WATER
RELIABILITY AND SUPPLY.
SO WE'RE PLEASED TO BE HERE IN
SUPPORT TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY IS
IN MANY OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF AB
TWENTY FIVE TWENTY EIGHT PLEASE

GOOD MORNING VICE CHAIR MEMBERS
TECHIES DID REPRESENT CALIFORNIA
PARK AND RECREATION SOCIETY WE
TOO ARE IN SUPPORT [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
STEVE EVANS REPRESENTING FRIENDS
OF THE RIVER WE SUPPORT THE BILL.
OKAY LAST CALL FOR PROPONENTS OF
AB.
TWENTY FIVE TWENTY EIGHT IF NOT
A CALL UP ANY OPPOSITION.
PLEASE COME FORWARD [inaudible]
GOOD MORNING [inaudible]
MORNING BROUGHT.
YOU'RE FEDERATION APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT AND ALSO
I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR AND
THE SPONSORS FOR WORKING WITH US
TIME TO PARTIALLY ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS HOWEVER WE STILL HAVE
REMAINING CONCERNS.
AND AS THE BILL IS IN PRINT.
I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE BILL
DOES SO THE BILL IDENTIFIES THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE STATE AS A
HABITAT RESILIENCE AREA SO
ESSENTIALLY THE ENTIRE COAST OF
CALIFORNIA.
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND AND THE
SIERRA'S FROM THE THE NORTHERN
BORDER I'M ALL THE WAY TO THE
SOUTHERN END OF THIS YEAR AS THE
ONLY PART OF THE STATE THAT'S
NOT INCLUDED AS A HABITAT
RESILIENCE AREA IS ESSENTIALLY
THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
STATE.
THEN FROM THERE --
THE CURRENT LAW SO THE BILL US.
INITIALLY REQUIRED THAT THESE
AREAS BE PROTECTED AND ENHANCED
BY STATE AGENCIES.
AND SO THE CONCERN IS THAT THAN
ONE A STATE AGENCY IS GOING
THROUGH A PERMITTING PROCESS
THAT SEPARATE AND APART FROM THE
SAFEGUARDING PLAN.
THAT THEY WILL TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THAT THEY NEED TO
HAVE BE PROTECTING THESE HABITAT
RESILIENCE AREAS AND STRONGHOLDS.
SO WE SEE THAT AS POTENTIALLY
CREATING ADDITIONAL PERMIT
STANDARDS TO SO THAT WE ARE
ENSURING THAT WERE FOLLOWING
ALONG PROTECTING AND ENHANCING
THESE AREAS.
THIS IS IN ADDITION TO ALL OF
THE REQUIREMENTS OF PROTECTION
THAT WE HAVE FOR SPECIES THAT
ARE LISTED UNDER THE ENDANGERED
SPECIES ACT FULLY PROTECTED
SPECIES.
LIST GOES ON OF OF KIND OF THOSE
THAT ARE IN DECLINE AND NOW
WE'RE HAVING TO SUPPORT AND
PROTECT AND ENHANCE THOSE THAT
ARE DOING WELL.
WHICH WE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT
OPPOSE AND WE FEEL LIKE MANY OF
THESE A AREAS ARE DOING WELL.
BECAUSE OF ACTIONS THAT PRIVATE
LANDOWNERS HAVE TAKEN.
BUT THE CONCERN IS.
EXISTING LAW REQUIRES THAT
STRONGHOLDS WHICH IS NOT DEFINED
IN EXISTING LAW BE PROTECTED AND
ENHANCED.
SO OUR CONCERN IS THAT WITH THIS
BILL BY THEN DEFINING
STRONGHOLDS AND INCLUDING A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE STATE
BUT IT STILL REQUIRED THAT
PROTECTION ENHANCE SO THE
AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE STILL
ASKING.
FOR IS TO CHANGE THE TERMINAL SO
THAT THAT.
EXISTING LAW REQUIRING
PROTECTION ENHANCEMENT OF
STRONGHOLDS IS NOT DEFINED IN
WHAT'S DEFINED IN THIS BILL IS
CALLED SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S ALL
THAT WE'RE ASKING FOR AND WITH
THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE
OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY IS THERE ANY OTHER
SAID OPPOSITELY COME FROM REPORT.
GOVERNOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WE TOUR IN
OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU AND THE OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION.
IF NOT WE'LL GO TO OUR PANEL
SENATOR ALLEN YOU HAVE ANY
COMMENTS.
THEN I WAS BY MOVING WHEN
NECESSARY WHEN APPROPRIATE
[inaudible]
OKAY.
BUT ABOUT ACT.
CAN YOU ADDRESS THE THE
OPPOSITION WITH THE INFORMERS
THOUGH THE WORDING THEN AND WHAT
STRONGHOLD ISN'T MEAN ETCETERA I
LOVE YOU KNOW WE DON'T.
WE DON'T LIKE A LOT OF THAT THE
REPORT REGULATIONS IN.
YEAH I THINK THE OPPOSITION --
AND IT --
AND THE SPONSORS ARE TALKING
ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF
LANGUAGE NW UPON THE BILL I'M
WILL BE AMENDED --
TO IDENTIFIED STRONGHOLDS AS
SALMONID STRONGHOLDS THAT WILL
BE THE NEW TERM OF ART THAT IS
IN THE BILL.
AND THAT REDUCES THE OVERALL
STATE AREA THAT WOULD
POTENTIALLY BE COVERED 25% OR
LESS OF THE STATE IT'S NOT THE
MAJORITY OF THE STATE.
AYE.
AND TO A BILL A AND THE
JURISDICTION OF THIS BILL REALLY
IS LIMITED.
ON AS INTENDED TO AREAS --
THAT THAT ARE DEFINED WITHIN
SELMON ITS STRONGHOLD.
WHAT WOULD IS A CELL MONIC
STRONGHOLD BUT WHAT?
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
SENATOR MARK SMITH AGAIN ON
BEHALF CAL TROUT THE SPONSORS SO
SINCE 520-007-2000 EIGHT THE
STATE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE
NGO PARTNERS AND OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
IN THE RESOURCES AGENCY TO COME
UP WITH AREAS OF THE STATE.
THAT ARE GOING TO BE THE MOST
RESILIENT IN THE FACE OF ONGOING
CLIMATE CHANGE.
BOB THERE'S A MAP THAT I CAN
PROVIDE YOU I DON'T HAVE A COPY
OF IT FOR THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
TODAY WHICH IDENTIFY SIX
STRONGHOLDS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WHERE THE CRITICAL GENETIC
DIVERSITY FOR UMPS FISH SPECIES
CONTINUES TO EXIST AND BE ROBUST
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT AREAS
DOWNSTREAM OF SHASTA OR A BILL
OR ON THE SAN JOAQUIN WHERE YOUR
CONSTITUENTS MIGHT ALREADY HAVE
PROBLEMS ARE TALKING ABOUT?
AREAS OF THE STATE WHERE THINGS
ARE GOING WELL.
WE WANT UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS
AND I THINK THE SUPPORT OF THE
OPPONENTS WOULD AGREE WITH US WE
ONE UNDERSTAND WHY IN SOME
PLACES --
WERE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AND
PERHAPS HOW WE CAN USE THAT AS A
MODEL. FOR OTHER PLACES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE BUT AGAIN
THESE AREAS ARE VERY NARROWLY
DEFINED IN THEIR GEOGRAPHIC
SCOPE.
THE BILL NOW ENUMERATES THOSE
SPECIFIC AREAS OF THIS IS A WORK
PRODUCT THAT WAS PUT FORWARD BY
THESE NGOS AND THE DEPARTMENT IN
TWENTY TEN SO THERE IS A
REFERENCE DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE
VIEWED TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND
AGAIN THE GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE AND
IMPACT.
OF THIS PROPOSAL AGAIN THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS --
I THOUGHT WE HAD A QUORUM
ESTABLISHED A WEEK WE CAN ACCEPT
A MOTION OF THERE'S A MOTION.

VERSION OF SENATOR JACKSON'S SP
EIGHT THIRTY FOUR WHICH THIS
COMMITTEE HAS PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED.
BUT EVER SINCE THE NINETEEN
SIXTY NINE SANTA BARBARA OIL
SPILL ON CALIFORNIA HAS HAD A
BIPARTISAN --
OPPOSITION TO OFFSHORE OIL
DRILLING.
THIS IS OUT OF RECOGNITION THAT --
NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE A COASTAL
ECONOMY OF FORTY FOUR POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE AT
RISK IN THE EVENT OF ANY.
OFFICE OR OIL SPILL.
BUT OF COURSE THE SIGNIFICANT
RISK RISKS TO OUR MARINE
ENVIRONMENT AND OUR COAST.
THE COURT IS A RECENT PUBLIC
POLICY INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA

THE ABILITY.
OF UNDERSERVED IN AT RISK

OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS AB TWENTY FIVE THIRTY
FOUR REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF
PARKS AND RECREATION TO GIVE
PRIORITY FOR FUNDING FOR OUTDOOR.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
IN BOTH URBAN AND RURAL
COMMUNITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA
THAT PRIMARILY TARGET
UNDERSERVED STUDENTS CALIFORNIA
HAS TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY STATE
PARKS AND MILLIONS OF ACRES OF
PUBLIC LANDS THAT EXHIBIT THE
NATURAL.
BEAUTY AND HISTORY OF OUR STATE
IN ADDITION TO EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES.
ACCESS TO SUCH OUTDOOR
EXPERIENCES HOWEVER ARE OFTEN A
IS STILL OFTEN OUT OF REACH OF
COMMUNITIES AND STUDENTS IN LOW
INCOME AREAS --
OTHERWISE SIRE.
RURAL PARTS OF THIS IT'S A
RESEARCH FOUND THAT THAT
STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN AFTER
EDUCATION PROGRAMS EXPERIENCE
STRONG INCREASE IN SCIENCE TEST
SCORES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN
CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROBLEM
SOLVING AND LEARNING MOTIVATION.
ADDITIONALLY THE PARKS FORWARD
COMMISSION HAS FOUND THE
IMPROVING ACCESS TO OUTDOOR
EXPERIENCES PARTICULAR FOR YOU
THE DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITY LISA
HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES AND BETTER
EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES.
IT IS THE GOAL OF THE STATE
ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO PARK
AXIS AND TO OUTDOORS THAT ALL
PEOPLE INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE
HISTORICALLY NOT BEEN --
EXPOSED TO THESE EXPERIENCES
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO I
AM ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS AND WITH ME TODAY WE
HAVE A WHOLE SAY GONZALEZ FROM
LATINO OUTDOORS ONE AS THE ME
DONALD FROM AUTOBAHN AND I
FIDDLE AT IN THE ADLAI LOAN
THOUGH.
FROM ASRANI TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FIRST WITNESS
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
BOB GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU
TO THECOMMITTEE CHAIR --
MEANS WITH CIVIL SILAS AND THE
FOUNDER OF LATINO DOORS WERE A
COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVE POWER
ORGANIZATION THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND OUTSIDE OF THE STATE
AS WELL --
IN THE BASIC OF IT IS TO BE ABLE
TO ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE MORNING
GATES MET WITH THE OUTDOORS.
FOCUSED ON THE PIANO COMMUNITY
AND FAMILIES BUT REALLY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND I'M HERE IN
SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY FIVE THIRTY
FOUR ON MAINLY FOR THREE QUICK
THINGS ONE IS WE TALK ABOUT
ACCESS A LOT.
AND I AM A PRODUCT OF THAT AXIS
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA I
GREW UP IN THE CALIFORNIA'S
CENTRAL VALLEY TO LOOK --
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE SOMEBODY
WAS HIM TWO HOURS AWAY I
ACTUALLY GET TO VISIT UNTIL
COLLEGE AND THAT WAS A PRODUCT
OF AN INVESTMENT IN PROGRAMS
LIKE GET ME THERE.
I IT WASN'T SOMETHING AN
INTUITIVE THE MY FAMILY WAS ABLE
TO JUST DO CASUALLY AND THAT WE
CAN MAKE CREATION.
SIMILARLY MY INTRODUCTION TO
WHAT I CONSIDER --
ARE.
YEAH PROTECTED LANDSCAPES LIKE
THAT IDEA TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED A
CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS AT
CALAVERAS BIG TREES AND THAT'S
WHEN I FIRST SAW THE QUIZ FOR
THE FIRST TIME.
AND WHAT GOT ME THERE WAS A
SCHOOL BUS IN A SCHOOL PROGRAM
FENCES THEN IT'S REALLY BEEN --
AND INVESTMENT IN COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS ALONG WITH
SCHOOL DISTRICTS OUGHT TO REALLY
LOOK TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE
BARRIERS THE TO ACCESS REALLY.
AND OBVIOUSLY AS THE LATINO
POPULATION IS ONE EXAMPLE
CONTINUES TO GROW IN CALIFORNIA
THIS ISN'T JUST A COMPONENT OF
IT'S NICE TO DO OR IT'S A GOOD
THING TO HAVE BUT UNDERSTANDING
THAT THE CONSTITUENCY THAT'S
NEEDED FOR THE ONGOING AND
PERPETUAL.
UP PRESERVATION OF OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES OUR STATE PARK SYSTEM
FOR EXAMPLE BUT ALSO PUBLIC
LANDS IS DEPENDENT ON MAKING
SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO INVEST --
IN THE YOUTH PARINI COMMUNITY SO
UNDERSTAND NOT JUST THE VALUE OF
OUR PUBLIC LANDS PER SE WAY IT'S
IMPORTANT TO PRESERVE THEM TO
VOTE FOR THEM. TO GO OUT AND
ENJOY THEM AND COMMUNICATE
WHETHER SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
TO BUILD ON THAT CONSERVATION
SUCCESS IN THE PAST.
SO CLOSE BY SAYING TWO THINGS
ONE IS THAT THE WORK THAT WE'VE
DONE WITH IT LIMON DOORS HAS
BEEN AN EXAMPLE OF FAT AND
THERE'S SO MANY COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE.
THAT ARE DOING THIS EFFORT AND
THIS BILL WOULD REALLY PROVIDE
THAT CAPACITY SUPPORT THE
FINDING --
TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO
THIS AND EVEN DOING SOMETHING AS
SIMPLE AS GETTING ON AND WHAT WE
CONSIDER AND ADDRESS WILL
BARRIER LIKE TRANSPORTATION
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW OFTEN.
TRANSPORTATION IS THE BIGGEST
BUT PROBABLY SOMETIMES THE
SIMPLEST THING THAT WE CAN
TACKLE AND THIS BIT IN AS AN
EXAMPLE OF THIS BILL AS IT CAN
HELP ADDRESS THAT.
THE BANKING COMMITTEE FOR YOUR
TIME AND AGAIN HERE WHOSE AND
SALAS AND HAVE A LOOK YOU KNOW
DOORS FULL SUPPORT OF AB.
TWENTY FIVE THIRTY FOUR IT'S
YOUR TESTIMONY NEXT WITNESS ONE
OF THEM IT ON A WITHOUT A ONE

THIS MORNING ON THIS ISSUE AND
ONE I THINK OF THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FOR HER LEADERSHIP ON ON
ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE.
A AB --
TWENTY FIVE THIRTY FOUR WOULD
FEEL GAP BRINGING GREATER ACCESS
TO OUR COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY TO
OUR UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES BY
ESTABLISHING THE OUTDOOR EQUITY
OUR GRANTS PROGRAM TO INCREASE
THE ABILITY TO UNDERSERVED --
AND AT RISK POPULATIONS TO
PARTICIPATE IN OUTDOOR
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
EXPERIENCES AT STATE PARKS.
AND OTHER PUBLIC LANDS WHERE
OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS TAKE PLACE WE BELIEVE
THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE
ABILITY TO ACCESS OUR STATE
LANDS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ZIP
CODE.
OUR NATURE CENTERS IN OUR LOCAL
AFFILIATE CHAPTERS BUT EVEN A
DEEP DESIRE TO CONNECT PEOPLE.
OUGHT TO NATURE AND A BELIEF
THAT THE CONNECTION CAN HELP
PEOPLE AND BILL COMMUNITY ON
THIS MEASURE WOULD HELP A WE GET
IT HELP IN GIVING YOU WITH A
SAFE SAY PLACE SAFE PLACE. TO
OPEN UP AND SHARE WITH EACH
OTHER BUT ALSO DEVELOP A SENSE
OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE OF THE
OUTDOORS HAS A PLACE FOR
EVERYONE AND REALLY OUR JOB IS
TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE.
ARE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS AND
PROVIDE AND PROVIDE PATHWAY FOR
FOR NEW EXPERIENCES AND IT'S IT
IS FOR THOSE REASONS THAT WE
SUPPORT AB.
TWENTY FIVE TO THIRTY FOUR AN
URGENT AYE VOTE THANK YOU.

EDC IS INVOLVED WITH THE NERD A
PROCESS FOR THE REFUGIO OIL
SPILL SO WE HAVE PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROCESS --
THAT SPILL DAMAGED A HUNDRED
FIFTY MILES OF CALIFORNIA COAST
SO HAS WIDE RANGING EFFECTS IN
IMPACTS.
WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE
TRUSTEE AGENCIES ARE CONDUCTING
TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES FROM THIS
BILL AND TO SEEK FUNDING FOR
RESTORATION PROJECTS.
WE BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT THE
COASTAL COMMISSION WHICH IS NOT
CURRENTLY A TRUSTEE AGENCY IN
THIS PROCESS.
SHOULD BE A PART OF THESE
ASSESSMENTS THE COSTA COMMISSION
STAFF POSSESS SPECIAL EXPERTISE
AND KNOWLEDGE REGARDING OIL
SPILL PLANNING RESPONSE AND
IMPACT ASSESSMENT.
THAT WILL ENSURE A ROBUST
ANALYSIS.
PROTECT THE RESOURCES OF THE
STATE AND ENSURE ADEQUATE
RESTORATION OF THE COASTAL AND
MARINE ENVIRONMENT.
THE COMMISSION'S INPUT IS ALSO
ESSENTIAL TO THE ISSUES OF
PUBLIC ACCESS AND RECREATION
WHICH ARE REQUIRED ELEMENTS OF
NERD.
IN SOME EARLY AND MEANINGFUL
INVOLVEMENT BY THE COMMISSION
WILL ASSIST THE OTHER TRUSTEE
AGENCIES AND THEIR ANALYSIS AND

COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF MY NAME IS
SEAN DRAKE I AM A LEGISLATIVE
FELLOW FOR THE COASTAL

WHICH UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTS AB
TWENTY AND SIXTY FOUR THE
FEDERAL OIL POLLUTION ACT OF
NINETEEN NINETY PRESCRIBES THE
NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE
ASSESSMENT OR AND OR D. A
PROCESS. TO PROVIDE FOR THE
RECOVERY AND RESTORATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES THAT HAVE BEEN
DAMAGED BY AN OIL SPILL.
THIS PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO
BRING TOGETHER A GROUP OF STATE
AND FEDERAL AGENCIES TO ENSURE
THAT OIL SPILL RECOVERY IS AS
THOROUGH.
AND COORDINATED AS POSSIBLE.
THAT BEING SAID THOUGH THERE
HAVE BEEN EIGHTEEN AN RTS AN RTA
ASSESSMENTS FOR VARIOUS OIL
SPILLS AFFECTING CALIFORNIA'S
COAST.
THE COMMISSION HAS NOT BEEN
FORMALLY INCLUDED IN AN RDA
BEFORE.
THE COASTAL COMMISSION BE CDC
EXERCISE LONGSTANDING AUTHORITY
AND EXPERTISE REGARDING
CALIFORNIA'S COAST.
AND SO THE COMMISSIONS ARE
EXTREMELY WELL EQUIPPED TO
EVALUATE INJURIES TO COSTA
RESOURCES AFTER AN OIL SPILL.
AND IDENTIFY POSSIBILITIES FOR
RESTORING COASTAL RESOURCES.
BRING THE COMMISSIONS TO THE
TABLE IN THE EVENTS OF AN OIL
SPILL CERTAINLY WOULD NOT
SUPPLANTS THE VALUABLE WORK
ALREADY DONE BY STATE AND
FEDERAL AGENCIES TO ADDRESS
BILLS.
RATHER WE BELIEVE THAT ONE A
SPILL OCCURS AND TRIGGERS ONE OF
THESE AND RDAS.
INVITING THE RELEVANT COMMISSION
TO PARTICIPATE AND TO SUPPLEMENT
THE WORK OF THE OTHER AGENCIES.
WILL MAKE THE STATE'S OIL SPILL
RESPONSE ALL THE MORE

BILL AND EXCEPT THE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS.
AS AMENDED AB TWENTY NINETY ONE
FOCUSES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
COST EFFECTIVE INSURANCE OPTION
FOR CERTIFIED BURN MANAGERS AND
LANDOWNERS WHO CHOOSE TO EMPLOY
THEM.
LIABILITY CONCERNS IN THE COST
OF INSURANCE HAVE CONSISTENTLY
BEEN CITED AS ROADBLOCKS TO THE
USE OF PRESCRIBED FIRE WHILE
INSURANCE FOR LANDOWNERS AND
PRACTITIONERS IS AVAILABLE IT IS
OFTEN PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE.
AB TWENTY NINETY ONE DIRECTS CAL
FIRE THEN CALLED SAID IN
CONSULTATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF INSURANCE. TO DEVELOP AN
INSURANCE OPTION FOR CERTIFIED
BURN MANAGERS THAT WOULD LOWER
THE COST AND IMPROVE LIABILITY
PROTECTION.
THE BILL IS NOT PRESCRIPTIVE AS
TO THE TYPE OF PRODUCT
CALIFORNIA SHOULD OFFER BUT IT
DOES REQUIRE THE GOAL OF THE
OPTION TO BE INCREASED USE OF
PRESCRIBED FIRE.
I'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH A
WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS TO
REFINE AND IMPROVE THIS BILL SO
THAT IT ACHIEVES ITS GOAL.
OF GETTING MORE PRESCRIBED FIRE

GOOD MORNING MORNING.
WHEN MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS AB
TWENTY THREE FORTY EIGHT WILL
PROVIDE WETLAND HABITAT NGUYEN
AND WHERE MIGRATORY BIRDS NEED
TO BE OFFSETTING THE COSTS OF
FLOODING?
RICE FIELDS IN THE WINTER.
THE BILL DOES ALTERNATIVE TO
OPEN BURNING WOOD WINTER
FLOODING IS USED TO REMOVE AND
DISPOSE OF RICE STRAW AFTER
HARVEST.
WINTER FLOODED RICE FIELDS
PROVIDE CRITICAL WETLAND HABITAT
FOR FOOD FOR ROUGHLY FIVE SIX
MILLION BIRDS IN CALIFORNIA AND
SUPPORT OTHER SPECIES LIKE
SALMON AND GARTER SNAKES.
ACCORDING TO THE MIGRATORY BIRD
CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIP RICE
FIELDS PROVIDE NEARLY 6% OF THE
FOOD FOR BIRDS IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY.
INCREASED WATER RATES ARE
LEADING MANY FARMERS AWAY FROM
FLOODING.
ONLY ABOUT 55% A FAR RICE
FARMERS STILL WINTER FLOOD AND
THAT NUMBER IS DECLINING.
OF THOSE FARMERS WHO CONTINUED
TO FLOOD MANY DO NOT KEEP THE
FEELS CONTINUOUSLY FLOODED
THROUGHOUT THE WINTER.
BUT LET THE WATER EVAPORATE
MIGRATING IN MIGRATING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS FLOODING
CAN PROVIDE.
IF THE FLOOD [inaudible]
OKAY [inaudible]
THANK YOU --
WE'LL HEAR FROM YOUR FIRST
WITNESS THAT'S OKAY.
GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS MEGHAN
HURDLE I'M THE DIRECTOR OF LAND
AND WATER CONSERVATION WITH
AUDUBON CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO BE
HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT AB
TWENTY THREE FORTY EIGHT THE
CALIFORNIA WATERFOWL HABITAT
PROGRAM WINNER FLOODED RACE.
ALSO THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR
HER LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.
SO WE'RE HERE TODAY TO TALK
ABOUT OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR
THIS BILL FOR MORE THAN A DECADE
AUDUBON HAS WORKED IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH FARMERS WITH
INDUSTRY GROUPS.
AND WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO PROTECT
MIGRATORY BIRD HABITAT ON
WORKING LANDS AND WE DO THAT
BECAUSE WE'VE LOST SO MUCH OF
OUR NATURAL HABITAT IN CENTRAL
VALLEY.
YEAH WE REMAIN ONE OF THE MOST
CRITICAL LINKAGES ON THE PACIFIC
FLYWAY.
WE HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST
DENSITY OF WINNER IN WATERFALLS
IN THE WORLD HERE IN CENTRAL
VALLEY AND THAT IS DUE IN LARGE
PART TO THE WINNER FLOODED RICE.
HOWEVER IN LESS THAN A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY YEARS WE'VE LOST 9295%
OF THAT NATURAL HABITAT.
WHERE AS WE ONCE HAD FOUR
MILLION ACRES RIGHT NOW WE'VE
GOT ABOUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND MANAGE WETLANDS?
AND TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND ACRES PROVIDED THE RACE
LINES.
THIS MEANS THAT THE SIX MILLION
WATER FELL THAT COME HERE EVERY
YEAR HAVE VERY FEW PLACES TO
STOP TO REST.
THE EAT DIFFERENT FOOD.
SO IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE PROVIDE
CIRCUIT HABITAT THROUGH WINNER
FLOODED RACE.
BUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
ACRES OF REMAINING MANAGED
WETLANDS THAT MAKE UP OUR
NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGES.
ARE WILDLIFE AREAS IN OUR
PRIVATE DUCK CLUBS SHOULD BE
PRIORITIZED AND SUPPORTED.
BUT THERE'S ALSO ROOM TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE PROTECT HABITAT ON
LICENSE.
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE WINNER FLOODED
RICE THAT PROVIDES MORE THAN
DOUBLE THE HABITAT RATES OR
DOUBLING THE HABITAT AND CENTRAL
VALLEY FOR BIRDS STAYS IN PLACE.
AND I BELIEVE MY COLLEAGUE HERE
LIZ WILL TALK ABOUT SOME OF TH
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS IF WE
TRIED TO PROVIDE THAT HAVE
ATTACK ON PUBLIC LANDS.
SO WITH THAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE
YOU TO SUPPORT THIS BILL WHICH
WILL HELP PROTECT SOME OF THE
HABITAT THAT WE STILL HAVE FOR
ME.
THANK YOU FOR THE TIME
[inaudible]
S. MONEY.

THREE FORTY EIGHT BUT IT YOUR

TO SECURE HABITAT FOR MIGRATORY
BIRDS IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
THROUGH BOTH MANAGED WETLANDS
AND TRAVEL RICE HABITAT.
PROVIDING WATER FOR HABITAT LEAD
TO FARMING NEEDS TO HAPPEN
SYSTEMATICALLY AND THAT'S WHY
THIS BILL IS IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A
SCIENCE ANALYSIS OF WHAT HAPPENS
TO PRACTICES LIKE BOARDING UP
RICE FIELDS AFTER HARVESTING
AFTER HARVEST PRODUCTIVE
MIGRATORY BIRDS.
AND THE SCIENCE IS TELLING US
THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
PRACTICED.
THAT TIS IS AN IMPORTANT
PRACTICE AT THE PRACTICE
DISCLAIMING.
WATER AND ENERGY ARE ADDITIONAL
COSTS FOR FARMERS COMPETING IN A
GLOBAL ECONOMY.
AND IF WE WANT THESE HABITAT
VALUES TO CONTINUE.

WETLANDS ASSOCIATION THE BLACK
BRAND GROUP AND THIS IS SOON
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT.
AND ONE OTHER THAT SUN NEAR.
ANALYSIS BUT I'M [inaudible]
BLANKING ON WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE
WITH WHAT THE SUPPORT HAS SAID
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF RACE --
COULD WINNER FLOODING RICE A TO
THE WATERFOWL POPULATIONS IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WE HAVE.
SUPPORTED OF LAST YEAR'S BILL BY
THE SAME AUTHOR --
REGARDING.
USING TAX CREDITS TO PROVIDE THE
INCENTIVE --
WE SUPPORTED THAT STRONGLY OUR
CONCERN IS WITH THE MECHANISM OF
THIS BILL --
THE PRESLEY PROGRAM THE
CALIFORNIA WATER FELL HABITAT
PROGRAM WAS ADOPTED BY THE
LEGISLATURE IN [inaudible]
NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN AND THE
CALIFORNIA WATERFOWL ASSOCIATION
SPONSORED THAT BILL.
IN THE IS.
PURPOSES THAT BILL WAS TO
PROVIDE INCENTIVES TO DO CERTAIN
PRACTICES BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES THAT PROMOTED --
NESTING COVER AND THE PRODUCTION
OF A LOCAL BIRDS.
AND THAT BILL WAS A NOW COVERS
ABOUT THIRTY THOUSAND ACRES IT
COULD COVER A LOT MORE --
IF IT WERE BETTER FUNDED AND
WITH THE DE --
PROP SIXTY EIGHT AND THE WATER
BOND THAT'S ON THE NOVEMBER
BALLOT --
THAT COULD PROVIDE A VERY
ADEQUATE SOURCE OF FUNDING.
OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE WAY THIS
BILL IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN IT
WHAT'S THIS RACE.
FLOODING THE INCENTIVE IN.
TWO THAT CALIFORNIA --
WATERFOWL HABITAT PROGRAM --
THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT.
TYPES OF PROGRAMS AND THEY'RE
JUST NOT COMPATIBLE AND WERE
AFRAID THAT THERE WOULD BE A
COMPETITION FOR THE FUNDING --
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
A SEPARATE PROGRAM FOR THOSE --
WINNER FLOODED RICE.
THAT THE REASON THAT THE TO THAT
THAT THIS WHAT THE RACE
INCENTIVE PROGRAM WAS PUT INTO
THE CALIFORNIA WATERFOWL HABITAT
PROGRAM.
WAS BECAUSE THE OTHERS OFFICE
WAS TOLD --
LAST YEAR WHEN THEIR TAX CREDIT
BILL WAS --
DIED IN IT APPROPRIATIONS.
THAT -- THEY
NEEDED TO PUT IT INTO AN
EXISTING PROGRAM.
AND IT KNOW THAT --
THE AUTHOR HAS SECURED FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CURRENT
BUDGET THAT JUST PASSED --
WE DON'T SEE A REASON WHY THEY
CAN'T TAKE THAT FIVE MILLION AND
REDIRECTED OVER INTO A NEW
PROGRAM BECAUSE THAT IS THE
LEGISLATURE'S ALREADY.
DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY WANT TO
SUPPORT THIS --
THIS CONCEPT.
SO WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER --
SOME LANGUAGE THAT BASICALLY
REWRITES THE BILL TO CREATE A
NEW PROGRAM --
TO REDIRECT THAT FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FROM THE BUDGET INTO
THAT PROGRAM.
AND THAT MAKES A CLEAN
SEPARATION.
THAT BILL WE COULD SUPPORT.
BUT YOU VERGE OF SOME MONEY.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MARK SMITH
ON BEHALF OF THE GRASSLAND WATER
DISTRICT A LARGE AREA OF MOSTLY
MANAGED HABITAT SOUTH OF THE
DELTA AROUND LOS BANOS --
AGAIN WOULD AGREE WITH ALL OF
THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE BY
THE SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL AND
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR BRINGING
FORWARD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IT IS
UNDISPUTED WILL THAT WINTER
FLOODED RICE PROVIDES.
A CRITICALLY NECESSARY PART OF
THE PACIFIC FLYWAY.
TYPICALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
DECLINE IN THE KLAMATH THE
DECLINE IN THE SALTON SEA --
AND THE WATER ISSUES THAT WE'RE
HAVING IN CENTRAL VALLEY RICE
HAS BECOME THE ENVIRONMENTAL
FRIENDLY CROP THAT PROVIDES THAT
HABITAT FOOTPRINT.
ARE CONCERNED IS A NARROW
CONCERNED AGAIN ABOUT THE
PLACEMENT OF THE FUNDING.
WATERFOWL HABITAT PROGRAM WAS
CREATED TO HELP SUPPORT
LANDOWNERS TO MANAGE.
WHAT ARE KNOWN AS SEASON WE
MANAGED WETLANDS?
THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HELP
AGRICULTURAL.
LAND OWNERS.
FLOOD WINTER RICE [inaudible]
SO.
WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE BUDGET
DISCUSSION THIS YEAR WHEN THIS
IDEA CAME UP EVERYBODY SUPPORTED
IT WHOLEHEARTEDLY?
THEN DO ES POINTED OUT THAT WE
HAD TEN MILLION DOLLARS A PROP
SIXTY EIGHT FOR THE WATERFOWL
HABITAT PROGRAM IN THE SAID
LET'S JUST USE THAT MONEY.
AND WE FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO GET
TEN MILLION DOLLARS BACK INTO
THE PRESLEY PROGRAM TO HELP.
PRIVATE LANDOWNERS WITH THEIR
MANAGE HABITAT AND IN NEARLY
THIRTY SECONDS OF CONVERSATION
HALF OF THAT MONEY WAS RIPPED
AWAY FROM THOSE LANDOWNERS NOW
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
WE REVERTED TO GENERAL FUND BUT
I USE THAT AS AN ILLUSTRATION OF
HOW.
CONFUSING THE ISSUE IS AND WHY
WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE THESE IN
TWO SEPARATE ACCOUNTS.
WE WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT
GETTING FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM
JUST LIKE WE WOULD HELP THE
AUTHOR IN THE OTHER SUPPORTERS
WOULD SUPPORT GETTING FUNDED
FUNDING FOR THE PRESLEY PROGRAM
BOTH ARE CRITICALLY NEEDED.
WE JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO BE
COMPETING FOR THE SAME LIMITED
AMOUNT OF FUNDING.
SO WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING THAT WE
CREATE SOMETHING CALLED THE
CALIFORNIA WINNER RICE
INCENTIVES HABITAT FLOODING
PROGRAM.
GOT SOMETHING RIGHT SICK IT
RIGHT NEXT TO THE PROGRAM BUT
CREATE [inaudible] TWO PROGRAMS.
THAT HAVE TWO DIFFERENT
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES TO DEFER
DECISION MAKING PROCESS SEASON
AND TOGETHER WE WILL WORK TO
FUND THOSE TWO PROGRAMS THE
PRESS THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN
FUNDED SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND
TWO IT IS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEPARTMENT'S
OWN WEBSITE THERE'S A WAITING
LIST FOR FUNDING. FOR LANDOWNERS
AT WHAT THIS FUNDING.
WE NEED IN BOTH PLACES CLUTCHES
HAVE TO PROGRAMS.
AND WE WILL REMOVE ALL OF OUR
OPPOSITION [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY ANY
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION AB.
TWENTY THREE FORTY EIGHT THING
ON WITH THE AUTHOR LIKE --
TO COMMENT ON THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS SURE --
A SO I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS
OF THIS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
IMPACTS OF THIS NEW ACTIVITY ON
THE PERMANENT HABITAT EASEMENTS
WHICH IS WHY WE MAKE SURE AB
TWENTY THREE FORTY IT WAS FUNDED
THROUGH.
THE BUDGET WITH A SEPARATE FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS.
SINCE THIS BILL WAS ALREADY IN
PROGRESS IT IS MOVING IN PLACE
OF THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE.
THE SUPPORTERS SUPPORT THIS
DEPONENT SUPPORT THOSE IT'S IN
THE BUDGET AND IF THEY CAN GET
THE ADMINISTRATION TO AGREE ON A
NEW PROGRAM WOMEN [inaudible]
OKAY -- WILL
TAKE IT BACK TO OUR COMMITTEE.
I THINK WE'RE GOING --
TO HOLD IT TILL WE GET MORE
MEMBERS HERE FATE SO IT THANK

GOOD MORNING --
I'M AT MCCORMICK WITH CAPS ON
FIRE AND SAFETY --
I REALLY SUPPORT THE MEASURE ON
THIS BUT I I WON ADDRESSES BE IT
IN THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES FOR
OVER THIRTY YEARS AND ALSO ON
THE PRIVATE SECTOR NOW --
THERE'S ONE AREA THAT I WOULD
JUST LIKE TO SAY HAPPY LOOK AT
FOUR IN AND THAT'S ITEM TO E..
ONE THE FIRST PART OF PRIVATELY
CONTRACTOR.
I'VE REALLY CONTRACTED PRIVATE
FIRE PREVENTION RESOURCE SHOULD
MONITOR INCIDENT COMMAND RADIO
FREQUENCIES --
THAT'S EXCELLENT PARA BUT ITEM
TWO THERE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I
HAVE A COMMENT ON THE REGULATION
CHAU INCLUDE A PROHIBITED ON
PRIVATELY CONTRACTED PRIVATE.
FIRE PREVENTION RESOURCES FROM
COMMUNICATING ON AN INCIDENT
COMMAND RADIO FREQUENCY --
AS WE ALL KNOW THAT COMMUNITY
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY OUT THERE
AND I THINK IF WE CAN TAKE A
LOOK AT THAT WORDING THERE ON
THAT SECOND PART.
BECAUSE WHAT THAT DOES IT%
DOESN'T ALLOW THE COMMUNICATIONS
FROM THE PRIVATE ENTITIES THE
CONTACTED IT'S A COMMAND EVEN
KNOW IN ITEM ONE IT SAYS WE NEED
TO MONITOR THOSE FREQUENCIES.
WHICH WE TOTALLY AGREE WITH BUT
ON THE OTHER HAND IF WE HAVE TO
COMMUNICATE I THINK IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT THAT THEY DON'T LIMIT
THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE
INCIDENT SO THAT'S MY ONLY
COMMENT ON THAT OTHER THAT
EXCELLENT REPORT I MEAN IT'S
EXCELLENT --
A AYE I SEE IT BEING A BILL

TO TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF
TWENTY FIVE EIGHTEEN BOB MY NAME
IS JONATHAN TO SOUL I DIRECT TO
SEE OUR INSTITUTE FOR COMMUNITY
AND ENVIRONMENT A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION BASED IN OTHER
NORTHERN SIERRA PLUMAS COUNTY.
WE BUILT THE FIRST FULL CROSS
LAMINATED TIMBER STRUCTURE IN
CALIFORNIA WITH A RIBBON CUTTING
IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR.
THIS IS CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER
THIS IS A THREE PLY PANEL AND
ESSENTIALLY CROSS LIMITED TIMBER
THAT THEY EACH LAYER IS AT
NINETY DEGREES TO A SUBSEQUENT
LAYER.
THEY TYPICALLY ARE IN THREE FIVE
AND SEVEN IN THE WALLS OF THE
BUILDING THAT WE BUILT WERE FIVE
LAYERS THICK THE ROOF WAS SEVEN
LAYERS THERE'S NO STRUCTURAL --
BEAM ACROSS THE TOP BECAUSE OF
THE RIGIDITY OF THIS MATERIAL
AND THE SOUND OF SELF IT
[inaudible]
OF THIS IS FUNDED THE PROJECT BY
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
AND PLUMAS COUNTY.
IT IS IT HOUSES A COMBINED HEAT
AND POWER BOILER --
THAT'S POWERED BY BIOMASS AS
WELL SO IT'S AGAIN UTILIZATION
OF WOOD PRODUCTS OUT OF THE FOUR
SO AS WAS MENTIONED.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO
UTILIZE WASTE MATERIAL SMALL
DIAMETER MATERIAL COMING OUT OF
FOREST'S THAT NEED TO BE MOVED.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE COUPLE
OTHER THINGS I WANT TO MENTION
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT
ONE TO CARBON BENEFIT FROM IT --
A TON OF FRAMING LUMBER --
COMPARED TO THAT TIMEFRAME.
CARBON UP PRODUCTION FROM
SAMANTHA'S EIGHT TIMES THAT
AMOUNT FOR STEEL IT'S TWENTY ONE
TIMES THAT AMOUNT IN NEW
CONSTRUCTION SO AND THAT DOES
NOT COUNT.
THE REGROWTH OF TREES AND THE
CARBON THE TENTS PUT BACK ON THE
LANDSCAPE WITH THAT.
OUGHT TO SEISMIC SAFETY SURE
WALL SUPPORT EMERGING SOLUTION
FOR LATERAL STABILITY AND TALL
IN MID RISE BUILDINGS.
THEY'RE BUILDING AN EIGHTY FIVE
STORY BUILDING OUT OF THIS
MATERIAL --
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THIS IN THE
FUTURE AS A WAY OF DOING SEISMIC
SAFETY RETRO RETROFITS BECAUSE
OF ITS STRENGTH BECAUSE OF ITS
ODD DUCTAL STRENGTH.
ENSURE WALL CAPABILITIES FIRE
SAFE IN RECENT TESTING FIVE
LAYER UNPROTECTED FLOOR PANEL
LASTED TWO HOURS.
AND WOOD CHIPS IN COVERING IT
LASTED THREE HOURS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THIS BURNS IT CHARS IN THE
OUTSIDE BUT IT DOES NOT AFFECT
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF
WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE OF THIS
WHICH IS WHY USING FIVE AND
SEVEN LATER MATERIAL --
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ACTUALLY
TESTED THIS MATERIAL IN BLASTS
AND THEY USE THREE LEVELS OF
LASSEN THEY WERE SHOCKED TO FIND
THAT EVEN THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF
LASTING LEAD TO INCREDIBLE
PROTECTION FOR THE STRUCTURE
THAT WAS THERE AND HE SAID WE
NEED TO RETHINK HOW WE UTILIZE
THIS MATERIAL.
SO LESSEN THE LET ME SAY WHAT'S
BEEN MENTIONED AGAIN OR ALREADY.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN
TO DEVELOP INDUSTRY IN
CALIFORNIA RUN ACROSS LIMITED A
TIMBER IT ALSO ADVANCES RURAL
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IT
UTILIZES MATERIAL IN THE FOREST.

YANNI ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA NEVADA CEMENT
ASSOCIATION.
OUT WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
MEASURE TODAY --
WE DO CONTINUE TO TALK WITH THE
AUTHOR AND HER STAFF HAVE BEEN
VERY OPEN TO THE CONVERSATION ON
RESILIENCY THERE ARE TWO ASPECTS
OF THIS BILL THAT WE DO HAVE
CONCERNS WITH --
THE FIRST IS THAT THE STATE
WOULD BE SUBSIDIZING A
COMPETITIVE BUILDING MATERIAL
AND WITH THAT WE DO WE DO HAVE
CONCERNS.
AND AND I THINK THAT REALLY
FOCUSES ON TH FACT THAT ARE
BUILDING MATERIAL IS A HIGHLY
FIRE RESISTANT IF NOT FIREPROOF.
AND I'M MORE TALK ABOUT BUILDING
IN THESE HIGH FIRE ZONES.
WE THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A
STRONG CONSIDERATION FOR FIRE
LIFE SAFETY ABOUT MOVING FORWARD
AND AS FAR AS THE EYE COMMENTS.
ABOUT CARBON AND I BELIEVE THAT
THE THE NUMBERS THAT WERE GIVEN
BY THE PROPONENTS WERE UP FRONT
A CARBON EMISSIONS AND WHEN YOU
LOOK AT CEMENT OVER A AND ITS
PLACEMENT IN CONCRETE.
AND A FULL LIFE CYCLE IN THAT
USE PHASE THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT
THAT DRAMATIC AND IN FACT --
PLACE CONCRETE DOES RE ABSORB
CARBON AS WELL SO WITH THAT THAT
WE ARE OPPOSED WE DO WANT TO
CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION WITH THE
AUTHOR ON RESILIENCY IN CONCERT
[inaudible]
IF YOU.
CHARLIE READ OF THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIAL
MATERIALS ASSOCIATION AND AGAIN
YOU KNOW WE CERTAINLY REALIZE
THE NEED TO ADDRESS ALL THE
ISSUES OF WILDFIRES FORCE AND
INCLUDING THE UTILIZATION OF THE

FOR MANY FAMILIES PARTICULARLY
OF THOSE A MODEST ECONOMIC MEANS.
LACK OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION
A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE AT PARKS AND OPEN
SPACES ARE OVERWHELMING BARRIERS.

HE DIDN'T JUST INCLUDE
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES IN
INCLUDED INTERPRETATION LANGUAGE
EDUCATION SCIENCE.
AFTER A NUMBER OF YEARS OF WORK
WE CAME UP WITH A DEFINITION
THAT WE COULD USE TODAY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA THAT WOULD ALLOW US
ALL TO UNDERSTAND WHAT COMMUNITY
ACCESS AND EQUALITY MEANS.
AND WHAT THOSE ELEMENTS WOULD BE.
AT THE TIME WE WORKED ON THAT
THE VEHICLE MOVING TO THE
LEGISLATURE WAS S. B. FIVE AND
THAT'S WHERE THAT DEFINITION
ENDED UP.
HOWEVER THAT DEFINITION THEN
ONLY IMPACTS THOSE PROGRAMS.
WHICH IS NOW PROP SIXTY EIGHT WE
THINK THIS IS A GREAT APPROACH
TO SAY THAT THE RESOURCE

FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LIKE

GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURE FOR
THOSE REASONS I CAN'T SUPPORT
THE BILL [inaudible]
THE FURTHER.
IT IS LIKE AN ADEQUATE RULE
ABOUT CHAIRS MAKING MOTIONS
ISN'T THERE CAN WE DO THAT IN
THIS COMMITTEE.
WE DON'T DO THAT PROCESS
CURRICULA QUORUM OF ALL THE TO
GET QUAN OVERHEAD.
WE HAVE A WE HAVE A QUORUM JOSE
GETS A MEMBER OF TO MAKE A
MOTION SO.
I NEED MORE YEAH HE LEARN
ELEGANT SENATORS TO JOIN THAT
THE HIGHEST BUT SO WILL DO THAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANY FURTHER.
THANK YOU I I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT I LOOK AT THAT BIG
BEAUTIFUL PAINTING BEHIND YOU IN
THE ONE BEHIND YOU SENATOR STONE
I THINK HOW AMAZING THAT WE HAVE
SUCH A WONDERFUL STATE AND WE
JUST NEED MORE PEOPLE TO KNOW
THAT IT EXISTS [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
BUT BEFORE TO SOME EXTENT BUT
YOU WILL GET A MOTION SIR IS TO
THINK THAT PEOPLE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A MINUTE.
OKAY SO NEXT UP DOCTOR STUCK
HERE THE NEXT.
THE CONDUCTOR ARAMBULA PHYLUM
NUMBER.%
TWENTY SEVEN MOM THIS IS TWENTY
SIX FORTY NINE YEAR MORE THAN
ONE PILLAR GAVE TO YOU ALSO GOT.
THIRTY TWO EIGHTEEN EVERYTHING
ELSE ON OUR COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
OKAY.
OKAY JUST THOSE TWO OKAY FOUNDER.
TWENTY SEVEN TWENTY SIX FORTY
NINE BUT SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS.
TODAY I PRESENT AB.
TWENTY SIX FORTY NINE CALIFORNIA
RECENTLY FACED ONE OF THE MOST
WORST DROUGHT IN OUR HISTORY.
AND THESE AFFECTS CONTINUE TO BE
FELT THROUGHOUT THE STATE BUT
ESPECIALLY IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY.
THE BEST WAY TO MINIMIZE THE
DAMAGE DURING PERIODS OF DROUGHT
IT'S TO PREPARE AND CAPTURE
WATER IN TIMES OF HIGH FLOWS.
AB TWENTY SIX FORTY NINE CREATES
A NEW PROCESS WHICH WILL ALLOW
THE STATE WATER BOARD TO ISSUE
TEMPORARY PERMITS.
AND DEEMED THAT UNDERGROUND
STORAGE IS A BENEFICIAL USE
UNDER THESE NEW FIVE YEAR
TEMPORARY PERMITS.
APPLICANTS FOR THE NEW FIVE YEAR
PERMIT WOULD NEED TO MEET
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS TO
ENSURE THAT FIRST PROJECTS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE SUSTAINABLE
GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT ACT.
AND SECOND THAT NECESSARY
INFORMATION IS DEVELOPED IN
ADVANCE OF SUBMITTING AN
APPLICATION TO THE STOP STATE
WATER BOARD.
CURRENTLY APPLICANTS CAN OBTAIN
A TEMPORARY PERMIT FOR A HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY DAYS.
IF THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO
DIVERT THE WATER.
THIS FIVE YEAR PERMIT WOULD
PROVIDE A LONGER TERM PERMIT
WHICH IS ANOTHER TOOLS FOR
COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE WHO ARE
FACING DRASTIC CHANGES DUE TO
SIGMA IMPLEMENTATION.
IT WILL ALLOW GROUND WATER
SUSTAINABILITY AGENCIES OR LOCAL
AGENCIES TO APPLY FOR A NEW
PERMANENT AND DIVERT WATER TO
UNDERGROUND STORAGE THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE BE LOST TO THE OCEAN.
THE PP I SEE REPORT TITLED
REPLENISHING GROUNDWATER IN THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RELEASED A
FEW MONTHS AGO.
STATED THAT SOME MANAGERS
RECOMMENDED THE STATE WATER
BOARD TO FIND RECHARGE AS A
BENEFICIAL USE. TO REDUCE
UNCERTAINTIES ABOUT THE LEGALITY
OF ITS USE.
WITH THE UPCOMING SIGMA
IMPLEMENTATION EVERY TOOL IS
NEEDED IN ORDER FOR CRITICALLY
OVER DRAFTED BE SENSE TO BECOME
COMPLIANT.
AS WE KNOW MANY COMMUNITIES
ACROSS THE STATE ARE FACING THE
CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF
SIGMA.
AB TWENTY SIX FORTY NINE WILL
HELP COMMUNITIES AND USERS IN MY
DISTRICT AND ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
TO IMPLEMENT SIGMA BY USING
RECHARGE TO ITS FULLEST
POTENTIAL.
DROUGHT COMBINED WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SIGMA ARE GOING
TO VASTLY CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE
FOR OUR FARMING AND URBAN
COMMUNITIES IF WE DO NOT
ADEQUATELY PREPARE.
BY NO MEANS DO I THINK THAT THIS
IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER TO SOLVE
OUR WATER PROBLEMS AND HELP
PREPARE FOR SIGMA IMPLEMENTATION.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL
HELP MOVE OUR CONVERSATIONS
FORWARD.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS AND I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTES
.
MISTER CHAIRMAN.
AND BEFORE THE OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
WEINER'S [inaudible]
BOB.

MINISTER.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SAID
MANNING NUMBER WATER DISTRICT
I'M WE ARE CURRENTLY NEUTRON THE
BILL WE WHICH ARE OPPOSITION
PLAN AMENDMENTS WERE TAKEN --
EARLIER IN THE PROCESS --
THIS AREA AS THE CHAIR AND
EVERYONE HERE KNOWS IS FRAUGHT
WITH DIFFICULTY TO CHANGE WATER
RIGHTS COM.
EVEN ON A TEMPORARY BASIS SO --
WE THE THERE WERE AMENDMENTS
TAKEN ON BEHALF OF THE WATER
BOARD.
DEAD OMITTED SOME PROVISIONS
THAT WERE IN THERE ARE
PARTICULAR PROTECTING NEED STATE
AND FEDERAL WATER PROJECTS --
AT TIMES A HAVE TO RELEASE WATER
FROM STORAGE FOR WATER QUALITY
PURPOSES.
WE'VE TALKED TO THE AUTHOR AND
THE AUTHORS OFFICE IN THE WATER
BOARD THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THOSE
AMENDMENTS BACK IN HOPEFULLY AND
DUBBED.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER.
POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE BILL
BUT IT.
COULD --
COULD ALTER ITS INTENT SO WE ARE
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE AUTHOR IN THE COMMITTEE --
AND APPRECIATE HIS WILLINGNESS
TO DO SO THANK YOU.
THEY LISTEN CARE MEMBERS WHITNEY
WILEY WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES --
AQUA ALSO IS NEUTRAL ON THE BILL
ARE CURRENTLY --
WHEN THE BILL WAS IN THIS
ASSEMBLY WE HAD SOME --
WE TESTIFIED ABOUT THE PROCESSES
THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON ONE
IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS
THAT -- AQUA
HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE STATE
BOARD ON TO TRY TO FIND A
SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM FOR IT
FOR THE LONG TERM.
OUT BUT AS IT RELATES
SPECIFICALLY TO THIS BILL WHAT
WE WANT WHAT AQUA WOULD ASK.
FOR I'M RIGHT NOW WE TALK TO THE
AUTHOR STAFF AND HOPE THIS IS A
WAY -- TO TO
CREATE A PATH MOVING FOR IT
WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE
PROVISIONS ON TWELVE FORTY TWO
FROM THE BILL.
PIECE OF THE BILL --
EVERY TIME --
AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO
TWELVE FORTY TWO IT.
UPSETS THE BALANCE.
OF THE WATER RIGHTS ISSUE --
AND SO --
IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE THAT OPPOSITE
THEM WORKING ON WITH ITS
MEMBERSHIP FOR THE PAST SEVEN OR
EIGHT YEARS TOM ACQUITTED.
THAT TEMPTED TO SPONSOR A BILL
IN THIS AREA.
OUT BACK IN TWO THOUSAND TWELVE
AND OUR MEMBERSHIP TO US IS NOT
IN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN AGREE
ON AND A PATH FORWARD AS IT
RELATES TO AMENDING TWELVE FORTY
TWO STAR REQUEST AT THIS TIME
WOULD BE TO TAKE THAT.
PROVISION THAT SECTION OUT OF
THE BILL AND THEN HOPEFULLY OVER
THE COURSE OF THE SUMMER WORK ON
THE PERMITTING PIECE --
AND WE'VE GOT A WORKING GROUP
THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON LANGUAGE
AND TOWARDS THAT END.
ITSELF THANK YOU QUICKLY THOUGH
THOUGH A DOCTOR DID YOU TO
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS A I
ACCEPTED THE SECOND AMENDMENT
WHICH IS A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT
THE FIRST AMENDMENT I'M
STRUGGLING WITH BASED OFF OF
WHAT WE JUST HEARD FROM AQUA.
EVERY TIME WE'VE AMENDED
PERSONAL MEMORY PRETTY IMPORTANT
THIS COUNTRY [inaudible]
BOB.
A DIFFERENT FIRST AND THAT.
THE SUGGESTED FIRST AMENDMENT TO
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION NOT
OUR ABILITY TO HAVE.
AN OPINION AND NEGATIVE IT'S GOT
A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
APPLICATIONS ABOUT --
ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO TWELVE FORTY
TWO I THINK IT'S GONNA NEED
CONTINUED CONVERSATION AND I'D
WANTS TO WORK WITH THIS
COMMITTEE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
FIND THAT BALANCE IT HAS BEEN
QUITE DELEGATE TO GET TO THIS
POINT.
AND WERE TRYING TO FURTHER IN
THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE OF THE
THE NECESSITY SO --
THE UP IF IT'S AMENABLE TO YOU
MISTER CHAIR I'D LIKE TO
CONTINUE THOSE CONVERSATIONS
WITHOUT ACCEPTING THAT
AMENDMENTS TODAY FOR THE PURPOSE
OF MOVING THE BILL.
BOMBING AND LOOK FORWARD.
TO FIGURING OUT HOW WE HAVE THAT
CAN FIND.
HAPPY TO DO THAT A DOCTOR BUT
WITH A VERY STRONG ADMONITION
THAT THIS IS TIED WITH A VERY
STRONG AND DIRECT ROLL BACK TO
THIS COMMITTEE WE WANT TO STAY
INVOLVED THE PROCESS
[inaudible]

OKAY THESE ARE CHALLENGING
ISSUES I DON'T JUDGE THEM
THEY'RE JUST. FOR THOSE OF US
WHO'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME
ANYTIME YOU DEAL.
IN THE WATER SHE IS QUITE
CHALLENGING AND SO WE JUST HAVE
A BILL INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY HERE --
BICU I REALLY RESPECT I
NORMALLY DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT
OF REGARD FOR MOSTLY STAFFERS
ARE HOW THE SITUATION US BUT IN
THIS CASE I AM GIGANTIC LEE
IMPRESSED BY THEIR SKILL SETS IN

TICKLISH AREA SO WE CAN HELP YOU.
WHO WOULD NOT TRY TO HURT HER TO
WHICH TO HELP THE PROCESS

COMMITMENT. TWENTY PENCE.
AND THANK YOU SENATOR KATHY CHO
THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT
ADOPT BY REFERENCE MY
COLLEAGUE'S COMMENTS THAT WENT
BEFORE ME.
THE JUST TO EMPHASIZE OF CHANGES
TO SECTION TWELVE FORTY TWO DO
REMAIN IN THE BILL SCOTT INCLUDE
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS TO PROTECT.
TO ENSURE THE PERMANENT
UNDERGROUND STORAGE DOESN'T
IMPACT OF THEIR LEGAL WATER.
USERS OF WATER AS WELL AS THE
ENVIRONMENT SO WE LOOK FOR TO
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR IN THE
COMMITTEE THANK [inaudible]
THANK.
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS ADAM
ROBIN WITH THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WATER ASSOCIATION
FIRST RELEASED ONE THANK THE OFF
THEIR FIRST COMMITMENTS TO THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE --
WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR WAYS WE
CAN ENHANCE OUR ABILITY TO
RECHARGE GROUNDWATER STATEWIDE
WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE AMENDED
VERSION ON EXCUSE ME POSITION ON
A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE BILL.
OUR POSITION ON THIS CURRENT
VERSION IS.
SO WHAT THE BROADER CONVERSATION
THAT'S GONNA BE HAPPENING OVER
THE COMING DAYS WHETHER IT'S THE
WATER RIGHTS ISSUES ARE REALLY
JUST THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF
MAKING SURE THAT THE PERMITTING
PROCESS IS WORKABLE FROM WATER
AGENCY OR WATER OPERATORS ARE
PERSPECTIVE.
I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN
ENGAGING IN THAT CONVERSATION
AND CONSTRUCTIVE WAY SO WE LOOK
FOR TO IT THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MY NAME IS
MARY ON WARMER DOWN HER COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES OF CALIFORNIA --
FIRST OF ALL WE WANT TO THANK
DOCTOR ARAMBULA FOR TAKING THIS
ON WE BELIEVE HIS APPROACH IS A
KEY COMPONENT TO MAINTAINING A
SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER SUPPLY
PARTICULARLY.
IN THE SOUTHERN SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF
ISSUES RELATED. TO OUR CURRENT
GROUNDWATER SITUATION --
INCLUDING WHAT.
BUT SENATOR MINING IS TRYING TO
ADDRESS WITH OUR DRINKING WATER
SITUATION.
I'M WITH THAT WE WERE SUPPORTING
A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE BILL.
A WERE LESS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE BILL
BUT WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE A
PART OF A CONSTRUCTIVE
CONVERSATION. TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE TO MOVE MORE WATER THAT
HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY INTO OUR
GROUND WATER FOR THE
SUSTAINABILITY OF THE AQUIFER'S
WE'D LIKE TO SEE A SIGMA AS ONE
OF THE DRIVERS IN TERMS OF HOW
THAT PROCESS WORKS --
AND WE'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE THE
SECTION TWELVE FORTY TO PERHAPS
PUT TO THE SIDE BECAUSE OF ITS
OF ITS AYE CONTENTIOUS NATURE.
AND WE DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S AN
IMPROVEMENT OR NOT A NECESSITY
WITH RESPECT TO MOVING THIS
FORWARD.
ARMS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER
COMMENTS BUT IN THE INTEREST OF
TIME ALL HOLD THEM AND LOOK
FORWARD TO BEING UP ACTIVE
PARTICIPANT IN THE WORK GROUP
THANK YOU.
WE OBSERVE I OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
OF WELL GOOD MORNING I'M PUBLIC
OURS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE
FUND AND WE'RE OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED.
AND WE HAVE HAD A POSITION OF
OPPOSITION.
UNTIL THIS COMMITTEE AND WITH
THE RECENT AMENDMENTS SUCH OF
TYPOS UNLESS AMENDED.
AND I I WANT TO STAY HERE WE
REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT DOCTOR
AND HE WAS TRYING TO DO HERE I
THINK WE YOU HEARING FROM OTHERS
WE ALL.
SHARE THE GOAL THAT HE'S TRYING
TO GET AYE AND I THINK THE
EXISTING PROCESS TO RECHARGE
GROUNDWATER.
IS NOT.
YOU KNOW FAST ENOUGH ARE CHEAP
ENOUGH TO DO IT YOU KNOW WHEN WE
NEED WHEN WE NEED TO DO IT AND
THAT THE SCALE WE NEED TO DO IT
AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
RECHARGE GROUNDWATER.
TO FIRST THE SUSTAINABLE GROUND
WATER MANAGEMENT ACT AS OTHERS
HAVE SAID --
AND WE APPRECIATE HIS
OPPORTUNITIES WILLINGNESS TO SIT
DOWN TALK TO US IN YOUR CONCERNS --
BUT ALL THAT SAID I DON'T WE
CHAIR SIGH I THINK OUR SERVER
CONCERNS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID BUT WE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT SECTION TWELVE
FORTY TWO AND THE CHANGES THERE --
WE DON'T DE WITH TWEAKING THE
BENNETT YOU WHAT CONSTITUTES A
BENEFICIAL USE CAN LEAD TO
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES WATER
HOARDING.
PRIVATIZATION OF AQUIFER'S.
WE NEED TO GET FRUSTRATED.
BUDGET AS A GROUND WATER
SUSTAINABILITY AGENCIES ATTEMPT
TO DO GROUND WATER RECHARGE
PROGRAM.
AND SO WE WANTED TO SEE ALL
THOSE EFFORTS COORDINATED AYE
YEAH I THINK THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS ARE DEATHLY AN
IMPROVEMENT BUT WE STILL SOME OF
THOSE CONCERNS REMAIN --
AND SO [inaudible]
SURE.
JUDGMENT IS IT FIXED.

BRILLIANT AND REASONABLE AUTHOR

THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER AND FOR
TWENTY SIX YEARS WE'VE BEEN
WORKING TO ACQUIRE UP TO SIX
THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS THIS
CONCEPT OF INCORPORATING THE SAN
JOAQUIN RIVER PARKWAY INTO THE
STATE PARK SYSTEM.
WITH THE EXPANSION OF MILLERTON
STATE RECREATION AREA.
OVER THE YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN A
NUMBER OF STATE PARK STUDIES
THAT HAVE OOKED AT THIS CONCEPT
AND HAVE AGREED THAT IT'S A GOOD
IDEA.
WAS MENTIONED IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY VISION PLAN AND THEN ALSO
THE PARKS FORWARD REPORT JUST A

RIGHT I DON'T THINK OF AYE A
TRUST ME I KNOW SIR --
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
AND LEFT UP TO YOU PRESENT AB
TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN TODAY.
A THIS YEAR IS THE CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIGNING OF
THE FEDERAL MIGRATORY BIRD
TREATY ACT ONE OF THE WORLD'S
OLDEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS CREDITED WITH
HELPING TO SAVE ICONIC BIRD
SPECIES.
DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR IN A MOVE
THAT CONTRADICTED ONE HUNDRED
YEARS OF FEDERAL POLICY OF THE
FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION ISSUE
LEGAL OPINION SAYING IT WOULD NO
LONGER ENFORCE THE MBTA.
IN CASE OF INCIDENTAL BIRD
DEATHS OBJECTIVELY OR IS THAT
THE NEED AND MEN MITIGATION
MEASURES OR TO PAY FINES WERE
LARGE SCALE KILLINGS OF BIRDS
OCCUR.
I AM FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN A TIME
WERE ACTUALLY IS BECOMING THE
NORM MORE STATES ARE HAVING TO
UNDERTAKE THEIR OWN ACTIONS TO
KEEP IN PLACE.
FEDERAL PROTECTIONS FOR WILDLIFE
HERE UNDER THREAT BY THE CURRENT
FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION.
I'M AS THESE ROLLBACKS CONTINUE
A TO THE MBTA OF OF A CAR.
I'M A BIT CREATIVE BACK YOU MEAN
WILDLIFE PROTECTION CERTAINTY IS
NEEDED FOR BOTH CONSERVATION
EFFORTS AND FOR INDUSTRY TO
ENSURE THE BIRDS AND OTHER
NATURAL RESOURCES.
ARE PROTECTED.
DESPITE THE SUCCESSES OF THE
MBTA MOST MIGRATORY BIRD SPECIES
IN CALIFORNIA AND DECLINE
LARGELY DUE TO LOSS OF HABITAT
AND DIRECT IMPACTS HUMAN
ACTIVITY.
IN NORTH AMERICA LEASE FOUR
HUNDRED THIRTY TWO BIRD SPECIES
MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF BIRDS
THAT OCCUR ON THE CONTINENT.
ARE AT HIGH RISK OF EXTINCTION
WITHOUT SIGNIFICAT CONSERVATION
ACTION.
IN CALIFORNIA MORE THAN ONE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SPECIES OF
BIRDS ARE AT SIGNIFICANT RISK
DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND
MIGRATORY BIRDS WILL PLEASE EVEN
GREATER CHALLENGES IN THE FUTURE.
AND CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION
GROWS.
INDUSTRIES CONTINUE TO EXPAND
THE CLIMATE CHANGES AND
RESOURCES BECOMES SCARCER.
UNFORTUNATELY THESE RECENT
ACTIONS BY THE FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATION AND MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS HAVE BEEN AIMED AT
WEAKENING THE MBTA ALARMING
CONSERVATIONISTS AND CREATING
UNCERTAINTY FOR REGULATED
INDUSTRIES.
MIGRATORY BIRDS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
CALIFORNIA'S NATURAL HISTORY
BIODIVERSITY AND ECONOMY.
AB TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN MOST
BECAUSE THE BIRDS.
PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO INDUSTRY
ON COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
PROTECTING MIGRATORY BIRDS.
AMOUNT OF PAINT COMMITTEE FOR
THEIR WORK ON THIS BILL I WILL
BE ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS
LISTED IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
AND I'M COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS ON
THIS BILL HAS BE HAVE DONE OF
MEDICINES WE HOPE WILL COME
FIRST INTRODUCED THE BILL.
I HAVE WITH ME AS A WITNESS MY
CLIENTS DIRECTOR OF POLICY BUT
THE AUDUBON CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU PLEASE PROCEED GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS MY CLIENT AND
THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY
FOR ALL ALONG CALIFORNIA WHICH
IS THE NATIONAL AUDUBON
SOCIETY'S BRANCH HERE IN THE
STATE.
AND I WANT TO REITERATE JUST A
FEW OF THE POINTS OF THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MADE IN HIS
PRESENTATION AND PRIMARILY THAT
THE INTENT OF THIS BILL IS
ALWAYS.
BACKSTOPS TO CONTINUE THE KIND
OF PROCESS WE'VE SEEN IT WITH A
FEDERAL MIGRATORY BIRD TREATY
ACT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL.
DECADES.
AND REALLY WITH THE INTENT HERE
IS TO CREATE A PATHWAY FOR
COMPLIANCE ALSO WITH EXISTING
LAW BECAUSE EXISTING FISHING
GAME CODE PROHIBITS THE TAKE OF
ANY NON GAME MIGRATORY BIRD.
AND WE ALWAYS HAVE TRIED TO WORK
ON THIS BILL IN A WAY THAT
BALANCED THE CONSERVATION NEED
TO THE BURDEN THAT WAS PLACED ON
REGULATORY REGULATED ENTITIES.
AS WELL AS THE AGENCIES BEING
MINDFUL OF WHAT WE COULD
ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH IN A WAY
THAT WILL ALLOW THE ECONOMY TO
CONTINUE TO PROSPER.
AND NOT OVERBURDEN THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH WILDLIFE.
THE MIGRATORY BIRD TREATY ACT
HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL AUDUBON'S
MISSION AND REALLY FOR ALL
CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS
CONCERNED WITH BIRDS FOR THE
LAST HUNDRED YEARS.
IT IS KEPT BIRDS OFF THE
ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST SERVES
HELP KEEP CONVERTS COMMON IN
ADDRESS PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY
BECOME TOO SEVERE.
THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIONS
REINTERPRETATION OPENS THE DOOR
FOR INCIDENTAL TAKE ACROSS THE
BOARD AND TAKES AWAY THE
INCENTIVE FOR BEST MANTRA
PRACTICES THAT ARE ECONOMICALLY
FEASIBLE THAT ENTITIES CAN DO TO
A REDUCE TAKEN HARM TO BIRDS.
AND WHAT IT DOES IS ULTIMATELYTHAT LEAVES HUNDREDS OF SPIT
MIGRATORY BIRD SPECIES
UNPROTECTED AT A TIME WHEN WE
CONTINUE TO SEE MIGRATORY BIRDS
DECLINE.
AGAIN BECAUSE OF HABITAT ANOTHER
DIRECT IMPACTS THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SEE THAT CONTINUE AS OUR
POPULATION GROWS AND IS CLIMATE
CHANGE CONTINUES TO AFFECT
CALIFORNIA'S HABITATS.
SO ADDRESSING DIRECT TAKE OF
LARGE NUMBERS OF BIRDS IS
ESSENTIAL FOR BIRD CONSERVATION.
AB TWENTY SIX TWENTY SEVEN IS
INTENDED TO PROVIDE A PATHWAY
ARRESTS USING BEST MATCH
APPROACH TO COMPLY WITH PAT WITH
EXISTING FISHING GAIN CHO THE
PROHIBITS TAKE.
IT DOES SO BY ALLOWING ENTITIES
TO IDENTIFY THE BMPS IF THEY
BELIEVE WILL WORK THE BEST.
USUALLY FROM A WELL DESCRIBED
AND SCIENTIFIC PROCESS EASIER.
I'M TO SELF CERTIFY THAT THEY'VE
IMPLEMENTED THEM BUT ENSURES
THAT IT'S A TRANSPARENT PROCESS
WHERE DFW AND OTHERS CAN SEE
WHAT THE WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
AND ENSURES THE DFW CONTINUES TO
HAVE OVERSIGHT.
AGAIN IT'S INTENDED TO BE A
LIGHTER TOUCH ON INDUSTRIES TO
MAINTAIN THE KIND OF RULE THAT
HAPPENED UNDER THE MBTA.
PEOPLE THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING
THIS BILL WHEN WE HAVE THE ESSAY
THE ESSAY ONLY PROTECTS A SELECT
FEW NUMBER OF SPECIES AND THE
SPREAD.
APPLIES VERY HARSH RESTRICTIONS
TO HOW THEY'RE MANAGED.
SEQUEL WHILE CONTINUING
CONTINUING TO APPLY HAS IN THE
PAST THAT ONLY APPLIED.
BECAUSE OF THE MBTA RELATED
DIRECT TAKE A BIRDS.
NOW ENTITIES CAN ARGUABLY SAY
BECAUSE MBTA NO LONGER APPLIES
AND IT'LL TAKE THERE'S NO NEED
FOR US IF YOU SEE POLITICAL
ANALYSIS RELATED TO THAT DIRECT
TAKE.
THEY MAY SAY THAT THEY WELL BUT
LEGALLY THEY HAVE THAT ARGUMENT.
I WOULD NECESSARILY AGREE WITH
THAT ARGUMENT BUT I COULD
ANTICIPATED BEING MADE.
SO WHAT AB TWENTY SIX TWENTY
SEVEN DOES IS IT PROVIDES A
PATHWAY. FOR ENTITIES TO
IDENTIFY WHAT IF THEY'RE HAVING
DIRECT TAKE.
IDENTIFY THOSE BMPS MOVE FORWARD
IN A WAY TO COMPLY APPLIES WITH
THE EXISTING CALIFORNIA FISHING
GAME CODE AND IF THE MBTA WERE
TO BE REINTERPRETED AND AWESOME
TO COMPLY WITH THAT AS WELL.
AGAIN AS THE MBTA WAS APPLIED IN
PRIOR YEARS PRIOR DECADES
RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND
CALIFORNIA'S A LITTLE ENERGY
EXPANDED RAPIDLY IN CALIFORNIA
IT WAS NOT SLOW DOWN BY THE MBTA
AND IT WON'T BE SLOWED DOWN BY
THIS BILL.
LIKEWISE OUR ECONOMY PROSPERED
UNDER THE OLD RULES THE MBTA AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL IS
INTENDED TO DO.
SO AGAIN WE HOPE FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE AND THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY ALL
THOSE IN FAVOR OF AB TWENTY SIX
TWENTY SEVEN PLEASE COME FORWARD.

FOR INTRODUCING THE BILL AND THE
SPONSORS WHO ARE GREAT PARTNERS
OF OURS IN PROTECTING MIGRATORY
SPECIES AGAIN GRASS AND WATER
DISTRICT LOCATED IN THE HEART OF
CENTRAL VALLEY. ONE OF THE LAST
REMAINING SIGNIFICANT HABITAT
AREAS.
OVERWINTERING BIRDS NUMBER IN
THE MILLIONS DOWN THERE --
WE APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON BEST
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ARE JUST
ILLUSTRATE THIS WITH A SMALL
EXAMPLE.
IT WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO
RENEWABLE --
ENERGY INSTALLATIONS BUT WE FEAR
BIRD FLYING AROUND IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY YOU'RE FLYING
OVER A SOLAR FIELD.
THAT LOOKS LIKE A LAKE TO YOU.
THAT AFFECT THAT MEEREEN
AFFECTED LOOKS LIKE WATER IT
LOOKS LIKE YOUR NATURAL HABITAT.
THIS CAUSES ISSUES IT'S A REASON
WHY WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS
IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE
FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
AND AGAIN WE APPRECIATE WHAT
THEY SPONSOR IN THE AUTHORS ARE
DOING HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONSIDERED THE BALANCE OF THESE
ISSUES AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS A

GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MORNING.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS CLIFF MOYAMOYA
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE GLOCK A
GROUP IN OUR CLAM THE CALIFORNIA
COUNCIL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND
ECONOMIC BALANCE THE FIRST I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING
THAT WE DO GREATLY APPRECIATE
THE THE NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS
THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE
WITH THE AUTHOR WITH.
THE LIVES OF SUPPORTERS AS WELL
AS COMMITTEE STAFF THAT WE HAVE
BEEN REVIEWING THE ANALYSIS AND
THE KIND OF THE THE REWRITE OF
THE BILL AND AND AND WE DO
APPRECIATE SOME OF THE THE SUM
OF THE NUANCE THAT IS BEEN
INSERTED INTO IT HOWEVER WE DO.
A HAVE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME
OVERARCHING ISSUES WITH THE BILL.
OF A ARE REFLECTED IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS [inaudible]
TWO ITEMS A ONE AND THE PROPOSAL
A CREATURE STATUTORY EXEMPTION
FOR THE AGRICULTURAL UP A
ROUTINE AGRICULTURAL OF
MAINTENANCE.
OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES --
ONE WOULD ARGUE THAT THERE MIGHT
BE OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT WOULD
WARN THE SAME KIND OF
CONSIDERATION.
BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A
SUBDIVISION BUILT INTO THE BILL
THAT PROVIDES THE DEPARTMENT TO
MAKE A DETERMINATION.
BUT YET WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
PROCESS THAT WOULD UNFOLD SO
WHILE AT ONE STAGE IN THE IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THOSE OF THIS
BILL.
THERE'S AN EFFORT.
TO THIS OUR RIGHTS STATUTORILY
IDENTIFY INDUSTRIES BUT YET
OTHERS NEED TO GO TO A YET
THOUGH A YET TO FIND PROCESS.
AND THEN THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS
MORNING IS.
THERE'S A BUILT IN AND THE TWO
AND THE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES
DOESN'T IDENTIFY THIS AS A ON
GOING ISSUE OF CONCERN --
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS CREATURE
DOUBLE JEOPARDY FOR INDUSTRIES
THAT SEEK CERIFICATION THROUGH
THIS BILL PROCESS BONTA SOLELY
THROUGH THE MIGRATORY BIRD
TREATY ACT PROVISIONS THAT ARE A
CURRENT. TO A STATUTE BUT DUE TO
OTHER FISHING GAME CODE LE
PROVISIONS PRIMARILY THE NESTING
BIRDS STATUTE.
SO WHILE THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE
A REPORT THE PUBLIC THE REPORT
TO BE PUBLIC ON HOW A AN ENTITY
HAS COMPLIED WITH THE BNP'S.
IT DOESN'T ABSOLVE THEM OF
POTENTIAL --
IMPLICATION OF IMPACT IN A
NESTING BIRDS UNDER A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT STATUTES.
AND SO BY TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT
THING ON ONE HAND.
POTENTIALLY COULD SET THEM UP
FOR PENALTY.
IN ANOTHER PART OF THE STATUTE --
UNINSURABLE BE OTHER COMMENTS
MADE BUT YOU.
STATE STAFF'S EFFORT TO TRY TO
DO A COME TO SOME --
SOMETHING WILL BE CLOSER VICTORY
JUST.
ONE OF GOOD AFTERNOON SHANNON
EDDIE WITH A LARGE COUNSELOR
ASSOCIATION --
WE SUPPORT WE SUPPORT --
MISTER MARIANAS COMMENTS AND
WANT TO ADD THAT TO THEM --
FIRST WEEK WE APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEES THE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA AS TAKING
OF THOSE AMENDMENTS.
EVEN WITH THOSE AMENDMENTS WE
REMAIN -- IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL AND WANT
TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT
WHY THAT IS.
THIS ESPECIALLY FOR SOLAR SOLAR
IS A IS A EVEN THOUGH THE
TECHNOLOGY ITSELF ISN'T NEW.
SOLAR IN LARGE SCALE
APPLICATIONS IS PRETTY NEW THE
BIGGEST FIRST YEAR.
LARGE SOLAR FACILITY BUILT IN
THE WORLD WAS FOURTEEN MEGAWATTS
AT NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE IN A
TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT SO THESE
PROJECTS HAVEN'T REALLY EVEN
BEEN ON THE GROUND FOR FOR FOUR
MORE THAN TEN YEARS --
AND SO WHEN SEWER FACILITIES
WERE BEGINNING TO BE BUILT THERE
WAS ASSUME TO KNOW SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT.
AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS A
CONTINUATION OF THAT WE'RE
REALLY NOT SEEING SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT TO AB IN SPECIES FROM
SEWER PROJECTS --
THIS BILL SEEMS PREMATURE
BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS REQUIRE
BMPS OF AN INDUSTRY THAT IS
STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE IT IS --
MY ORGANIZATION IS HOST TO A
GROUP CALLED THE AB INSULAR
WORKGROUP AND IT'S A RESEARCH
GROUP ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THE RESEARCH NEEDS
ARE --
RELATED TO HOW AVIAN SPECIES
RELATES TO SOLAR FACILITIES WHAT
WE'RE LEARNING IS THAT BIRDS
DON'T PROCESS VISUAL INFORMATION
THE SAME WAYS THAT WE DO ONE OF
THE GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE EARLIER
WAS TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE LAKE EFFECT.
WELL WHEN WE SEE FACILITIES WHEN
WE SEE SWER FACILITIES IT DOES
LOOK A LITTLE BIT LIKE A LAKE.
BUT WE'RE FINDING IS THAT BIRDS
DON'T SEE THAT THEY DON'T
PROCESS POLARIZE LIGHT IN THE
SAME WAY THEY SEE COLOR
DIFFERENTLY AND I DON'T KNOW
MAYBE SOME OF YOU SEEN THERE WAS
A RECENT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
ARTICLE WHERE THEY BIRDS
ACTUALLY SEE MAGNETIC FIELDS.
SO WE'RE STILL UNDERSTANDING
EXACTLY HOW BIRDS ARE PROCESSING
ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WERE IN
THE NASCENT STAGES OF THAT SO.
IT IT DOES PUT A LITTLE BIT OF A
JEOPARDY ON PROJECTS TO SAY THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ADHERING TO
A SET OF BEST MANAGEMENT
PRACTICES ON BEST AVAILABLE
SCIENCE THAT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T
REALLY EXIST YET.
WE DO HAVE THE A CC LAKE EFFECT
GRANT --
THAT'S IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW THE
RESEARCHERS STARTED --
AND SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME
TIME FOR THESE DIFFERENT
RESEARCH EFFORTS TO COME TO PLAY
I THINK THE OVER ARCHING MESSAGE
HERE IS THAT SOLAR DOESN'T HAVE
A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT --
THAT WE KNOW OF OR THAT WE HAVE
SEEN ON THE GROUND PROJECTS AND
TO REQUIRE BMPS BOTH OF EXISTING
FACILITIES.
AND OF ANY NEW FACILITY SEEMS --
ONEROUS PREMATURE AND ALSO SEEK
WHAT DOES COVER THIS.
I'M I DON'T IMAGINE THAT THE
COUNTIES ARE GONNA START
OVERHAULING THEIR SEQUEL THEIR
SEQUEL REQUIREMENTS IN LIGHT OF
THE FEDERAL LAW.
AND THE CONSERVATION GROUPS HAVE
LITIGATED ON THIS --
WHICH IS ALSO PUTTING QUITE A
BIT.
UNCERTAINTY INTO THE SPACE SO.
THE BIGGEST THREAT TO AVIAN
SPECIES IS CLIMATE CHANGE SOLAR
IS A KEY TOOL IN OUR CLIMATE
ARSENAL WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE CONTINUE. TO TO PERMIT
SOLAR FACILITIES WITHOUT UNDUE
BURDEN WITHOUT AND TO NEWT COSTS
AND WITH AN UNDUE RISK --
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL EVEN
WITH THE SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS
IMPOSES ALL OF THOSE AND I'M WE
ASK YOU TO HOLD THE BILL IN
COMMITTEE OR EXEMPTS OVER FROM
THE BILL.
THANKS.
YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY PLEASE
CONTINUE GOOD MORNING NO KRAMERS
OF CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION.
UNFORTUNATE WE ARE HERE ALSO IN
OPPOSITION WE DO APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS WORKING WITH
US ON AMENDMENTS THAT THEY HAVE
ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS WHEN IT
COMES TO DEALING WITH ON ONGOING
EMERGING AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS.
BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT
FARMING AND RANCHING AND
FORESTRY ALL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT
HABITAT FOR BIRDS AND SO ALL
THREE OF THOSE ARE AT RISK --
UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS
BILL TAP NEED TO GET BEST
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SO SO WE'VE
DEALT WITH THE ONGOING AND
ROUTINE FARMING AND RANCHING BUT
WE STILL NEED TO DEAL.
WITH THE FORESTRY OPERATIONS AND
BOTH FROM TEACH P. AND AND THE
MANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT
HAPPENED IN THE FORESTS AND TO
REDUCE FIRE RISK.
SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH
THAT THE SPONSORS ON THOSE AND
TRY TO GET AMENDMENTS THAT WILL
FULLY ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T.
HAVE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS
PLACED ON AND FORCE YOUR
AGRICULTURE THINK THEY COULD.
GIPSON KOPECKY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
ALSO IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL --
WE APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF
THE FARM BUREAU MENTIONING THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE FORESTRY
PRACTICE WE HAVE SOME OF THE
MOST STRICT OF FORCE PRACTICE
RULES IN THE WORLD --
WE'RE NOT AN INDUSTRY THAT IS ON
ANY SORT OF LIST FOR BEING.
UP THERE IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS
BILL IS ATTEMPTING TO DEAL WITH

COMMITTEE THANK YOU AB TWENTY
TWO FIFTY EIGHT CONSISTENT WITH
THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE IN THE
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN LITTLE
HOOVER COMMISSION REPORT.
WOULD PROVIDE LAUGH BECAUSE OUR
LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION
COMMISSIONS WITH A ONE TIME.
INFUSION OF GRANT FUNDS TO FOCUS
EFFORTS ON STREAMLINING LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IN IMPROVING
EFFICIENCY AND SERVICE DELIVERY.
THE BILL WOULD ESTABLISH A
FUNDING PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY
THE STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNSELED.
TO PROVIDE LAUGH GOES WITH FUNDS
TO CONDUCT STUDIES AND ANALYSIS
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND
SERVICES. FOR THE PERTH PURPOSE
OF STREAMLINING THE DELIVERY OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES.
GRANT FUNDS WOULD BE USED TO
CONDUCT SPECIAL STUDIES. TO
IDENTIFY AND SUPPORT
OPPORTUNITIES AND TWO
POTENTIALLY INITIATE ACTIONS
BASED ON THE STUDIES THAT REMOVE
OR REDUCE LOCAL COSTS.
IT'S IPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS MUST BE
MADE BY THE LAB CHO INDICATING
THE AGENCY SHOULD BE REORGANIZED
OR DISSOLVED AND THE MUNICIPAL
SERVICES ROUTE WE HAVE FOR YOU
MUST BE CURRENT.
SUCH THAT IT WAS PRODUCED WITHIN
THE LAST FIVE YEARS THE GRANT
PROGRAM WHICH SUNSET ON DECEMBER
THIRTY FIRST. TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY THREE AND IS LIMITED TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
THE BILL ALSO CHANGES THE
PROTEST THRESHOLD 225% FOR LAUGH
CHO INITIATED ACTION SOLELY FOR
THE PURPOSE OF ACTIONS FUNDED
THROUGH THE GRANT.
ALSO I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION
TO REACH A COMPROMISE ON THE
PROTEST PROVISION PIECE --
I'M HOPING WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT

CONCERN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION.

INDICATED AB TWENTY TWO FIFTY
EIGHT SEEKS TO ADDRESS SEVERAL
SIGNIFICANT DETERRENCE.
ABOUT LIFE BECAUSE FACE WHEN
INITIATING ACTIONS PERTAINING TO
REORGANIZATIONS AND CHANGES OF
ORGANIZATION WITH A FOCUS ON
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
SO THIS BILL LEFT CAUSE WILL
HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES THAT
ALLOW FOR LAUGH BECAUSE AND
SERVICE PROVIDERS TO WORK
TOGETHER. TO CREATE GREATER
EFFICIENCIES IN THE SUSTAINABLE
AND RELIABLE DELIVERY OF
MUNICIPAL SERVICES IN THE
COMMUNITIES THAT NEED THEM THE
MOST.
THE BILL PROVIDES FOR LIMITED
GRANT PROGRAM WITH PROCESSES FOR
LIFE CLOSE TO ADDRESS KNOWN
KNOWN SERVICE IN GOVERNANCE
CONCERNS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY
SAVE CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS
ADDITIONAL MONEY.
AS A RESULT OF IMPROVE SERVICE
DELIVERY.
THE GRANT WILL BE ADMINISTERED
BY THE STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL
AND THE USE OF THE PROPOSED
GRANT FUNDS IS STRICTLY DEFINED
IN THE BILL.
THE PROCESS REQUIRES THAT EXISTS
ALREADY BEEN STATED AN EXISTING
MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW BE ON
FILE.
WITH DETERMINATIONS INDICATING
EFFICIENCIES CAN BE GAINED BY
CHANGE OF ORGANIZATION OR RE ORG.
IN ORDER TO STUDY THE SERVICE
PROVIDER FURTHER OR TO INITIATE
ANY KIND OF ACTION.
WITH ABOUT HALF THE LAUGH CHO
STATEWIDE HAVING AN ANNUAL
BUDGET OF LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
THIS MONEY WILL GO A LONG WAY IN
HELPING LIVE CLOSE TO FILL A
PART OF THEIR STATE STATUTORY
MISSION.
IT WILL ALSO ASSIST THE SERVICE
PROVIDERS CAN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES.
WHO ALSO NO DOUBT LACK THE FUNDS
TO MAKE THESE CHANGES?
IN ADDITION TO ADDRESSING THE
SIGNIFICANT FUNDING DETERRENT
THE BILL ADDRESSES ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT DETERRENT FOR LAUGH
CHO SWITCHES THE LOW PROTEST
THRESHOLDS FOR LAUGH COUNTY
SHE'D ACTIONS.
CURRENTLY THE BILL PROPOSES TO
MAYOR EXISTING STATUTES. FOR NON
LAUGH CHO INITIATED ACTIONS FOR
A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER CUBBY
EUROS INDICATED THERE'S BEEN
STRONG OPPOSITION ON THE PROTEST
PROVISION MATTER.
AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A
CSTA ON THIS ISSUE AND WELL I
KNOW IT'S NOT THIS COMMITTEE'S
JURISDICTION.

THAT I BELIEVE WILL REMOVE CST

FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED.
THAT HE DOES BUT HE'S A HE'LL
TELL YOU.
WELL GOOD MORNING MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS.
TODAY I'M HERE TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY EIGHT OH
FIVE REGARDING THE MANAGEMENT OF
WILD PIGS.
THIS MEASURE WAS DEVELOPED WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED BY THE
FISH AND GAME COMMISSION AFTER
SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT STAKEHOLDER
MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD.
WILD PIGS ARE A NON INVASIVE --
SPECIES ARE THAT RESIDE
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
IMPORTANTLY THIS MEASURE WILL
HELP THE DEPARTMENT EFFICIENT Y.
LIKE BETTER MANAGE WILD PIGS AND
MITIGATE THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSE
TO LANDOWNERS.
AND ENDANGERED SPECIES AS WELL
AS THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF
MANY PEOPLE WHO CONSUMER FOODS
AS WE ALL CAN REMEMBER NOT TOO
LONG AGO A NUMBER OF FOLKS --
CONTRACTED --
E. COLI AND IT CAUSED A DEATH
AND GREAT SICKNESS.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK
ON THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE AND
WORKING WITH MY STAFF.
I ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND SHOULD THIS MAJOR
PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE TODAY I
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.
JOINING ME TODAY PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL INSIGHT IS NICK VILLA
WITH MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE AS A BIOLOGIST FROM
THE AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE.
AS WELL AS NO WAY OUT.
CREAMERS ON BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU AND I
THINK I HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL.
PERSON HERE AS WELL SO.
MARK HENLEY WITH CALIFORNIA ARE
[inaudible]
MARK HENLEY.
SO MISTER CHAIR.
MISTER VILLA WOULD YOU LIKE TO
START.
THIS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRPERSON AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS --
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY PRIVATE A
TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF AB
TWENTY EIGHT OH FIVE ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA RIFLE AND
PISTOL ASSOCIATION --
I HE SAID MY NAME IS NICK VILLA
AND I'M A THIRTY YEAR PLUS
VETERAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE AS A BIOLOGIST.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM MANAGER
AND NOW A SCIENTIFIC CONSULTANT
TO THE CRP A I'M ALSO AN AVID
HUNTER CONSERVATIONISTS AS WELL
AS A PREVIOUS.
MANAGER OF A PRIVATE HUNTING
OPERATION IN AMADOR COUNTY AND
FAMILY RANCH PROPERTY AND MADERA
COUNTY.
I'VE ALSO BEEN A LICENSE HUNTING
GUIDE AND HUNTER SAFETY
INSTRUCTOR --
AB TWENTY EIGHT OH FIVE WOULD
REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH
AND WILDLIFE TO RESTRUCTURE ITS.
APPROACH TO WILD PUT BIG
MANAGEMENT CALIFORNIA BY EASING
RESTRICTIONS ON PIC DEPREDATION
EFFORTS.
AND TO ENABLE PIG HUNTING TO BE
MORE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE.
S. SUCH HUNTING WOULD BE MORE
USEFUL IN AVAILABLE AND
EFFECTIVE AS A TOOL.
FOR WILD PIG MANAGEMENT AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
[inaudible]
WHILE BIG.
WILD PIGS NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE
ENVIRONMENT THROUGH DEGRADATION
OF HABITAT.
BY ROUTING UP SOILS AND
DESIRABLE FORAGE INCLUDING
ENDANGERED PLANT SPECIES AND
COMPETING WITH OTHER WILDLIFE
NATIVE WILDLIFE SPECIES FOR FOOD
AND SHELTER.
THEY MY CHIU EARLY PRETTY QUICK
FREQUENTLY AND THUS REPRODUCE
RAPIDLY.
OUR GOAL AT C. RPA HAS BEEN TO
WORK CLOSELY WITH CDF W..
AND LANDOWNERS TO TURN AS MANY
DEPREDATION PIGS INTO
HARVESTABLE WHILE PICKS.
AB TWENTY EIGHT OH FIVE WOULD
FACILITATE THIS BY.
REPLACING INDIVIDUAL PIC TAGS
INTO A VALIDATION STAMP GOOD FOR
THE ENTIRE SEASON.
MAKING PIG HUNTING MORE
AFFORDABLE AND CONVENIENT FOR
THE HUNTER.
THIS MIGHT ALSO HAVE A A
BENEFICIAL EFFECT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH FISH AND
WILDLIFE BY REDUCING
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF TIME TO
PRODUCE TO PROCESS.
INDIVIDUAL TAX PIECEMEAL.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE CDF W. TO
REACH. TO WORK WITH LANDOWNERS
ENCOURAGES THE USE OF HUNTERS AS
A LONG TERM OPTION TO
DEPREDATION.
AND AGAIN LESS OVERALL STAFF
TIME WOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE
AN PROCESS DEPREDATION PERMITS
AS WELL.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE CDF W. TO
WORK WITH LANDOWNERS TO
IMPLEMENT THE SHARED.
HABITAT HOLD CLIENTS FOR
RECREATIONAL ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
OR SHARE. TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE
PUBLIC HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES.
A FURTHER MORE THIS BILL WOULD
PROHIBIT THE FURTHER MOVEMENT
AND RELEASE OF WILD PIGS IN
CALIFORNIA [inaudible]
IN SUMMARY.
A AB TWENTY EIGHT OH FIVE BRINGS
ACROSS SECTION OF STAKEHOLDERS
TOGETHER TO REALIZE BENEFITS FOR
ALL THOSE INVOLVED. FOR THESE
REASONS CRP A SUPPORTS AB TWENTY
EIGHT OH FIVE AND NURTURES HER
SUPPORT AS WELL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING NO WELL
KRAMER'S CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION HERE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY EIGHT OH
FIVE SO WILD PIGS ARE NON
NATIVES AND THEIR INVASIVE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
BOTH TO OUR AGRICULTURAL
RESOURCES IN OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES AND WE THINK THE STATE
NEEDS TO REALLY DO A BETTER JOB
OF MANAGING THE POPULATION TO
REDUCE THOSE NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES.
WE THINK THAT AB TWENTY EIGHT OH
FIVE HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER A
DISPARATE INTERESTS AND ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS TO FIGURE OUT A
BALANCED APPROACH ON AS TO HOW
WE GO FORWARD MANAGING THAT.
THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION
TOOK QUITE A BIT A TIME BRINGING
STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER HAVING
THESE NEGOTIATIONS AND
DISCUSSIONS. TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE MAINTAIN HUNTING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR HUNTING
COMMUNITY WE ADDRESS THE
CONCERNS OF THE IMPACT THEY HAVE
ON FARMERS AND RANCHERS.
AND WE DO IT IN A WAY WITHOUT
IMPACTING --
THE TREATMENT OF THOSE PIGS AND
REDUCE THE IMPACT OF OF BRINGING
NEW PEGS IN THE CALIFORNIA WE
WANT TO STOP THAT FLOW OF PIGS
COMING IN.
THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT.
NEGOTIATION IS IT'S A BALANCE
AND ALL OF US HAD TO GIVE A
LITTLE UP IN ORDER TO GET WHAT
WE WANTED --
FURTHER ACTS PERSPECTIVE THAT
WASN'T ELIMINATION OF THE
REQUIREMENT TO GET A DEPREDATION
PERMIT.
WE DO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE
RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS I'M
REQUIRING REPORTING BECAUSE WE
THINK THAT.
THE FOLKS THAT ARE.
BEARING THE BRUNT OF THE IMPACT
OF THE WILD PIGS.
SHOULD NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL
BURDENS PLACED ON THEM. FOR THAT
MANAGEMENT WE WE KNOW THAT
REPORTING IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT
BURDEN BUT WHEN YOU ASK FARMERS
AND RANCHERS WHO WOULD MUCH
RATHER E OUT WORKING THE LAND.
TO COME IN AND INTO THE OFFICE
THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS THAT
THEY HAVE FOR WATER QUALITY.
DEALING WITH THEIR THAT THE
BURDENS AND THAT REQUIREMENTS OF
THEIR BUYERS AND SO YOU ADD ONE
MORE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY'RE
REPORTING AFTER THESE PIGS ARE
TAKEN.
AND IT GETS CHALLENGING SO WE WE
WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING I'M ON
THIS BILL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ULTIMATELY HAVE THE RIGHT
BALANCE [inaudible]
SO THAT.
ULTIMATELY WE'RE IMPROVING THE
MANAGEMENT AND REDUCING THE
IMPACTS OF WILD PIGS BECAUSE ON
A TWO ON OUR AGONOPTERIX SOURCES
THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE
MARK HENLEY WITH CALIFORNIA
WATERFALL BE VERY BRIEF --
THE BENEFITS WE SEE IN THE BILL
AS IT APPROPRIATELY REDUCES PIG
TAG FEES --
FEES HIGH FEES CAN BE A
DISINCENTIVE FOR THE PUBLIC TO
HUNT SO WE'RE GLAD THAT THAT IS
BEING ADDRESSED.
AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT THOSE
REVENUES THAT ARE COLLECTED ARE
USED APPROPRIATELY FOR GAME
SPECIES CONSERVATION --
WAS MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT THE
SHARE PROGRAM THAT'S A PROGRAM.
THAT ENCOURAGES PRIVATE
LANDOWNERS TO OPEN UP THEIR
PROPERTY FOR HUNTING AND OTHER
RECREATION WE ARE STRONG
PROPONENTS OF THAT AND WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THE STRONGER NEXUS.
IN THIS BILL BETWEEN PIG HUNTING
AND THE SHARE PROGRAM WE THINK
WILL PROVIDE SOME GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES THANK YOU.
SIR THIS IS SUPPORT.
MISTER CHAIR BILL GAINES GAINES
ASSOCIATES SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF

THANK THE AUTHOR [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR AT JENNIFER FEARING
HERE IN A BIT OF A NUANCED
POSITION I'M HERE IN A PERSONAL
CAPACITY AS A LONG TIME
STAKEHOLDER THEN THE HUMANE
COMMUNITY WHO WAS INVOLVED IN
THAT FISHING GAME COMMISSIONER
OF DELIBERATIONS AND MANY PRIOR
ITERATIONS OF THIS BILL AND
WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE
COMPLEXITY.
OF THE BILL OF THE EFFORT TIME
IT'S OPEN [inaudible]
YES AND THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS
ISSUE AND I'M GOING TO MISS
COVERS COMMENTS LIKE NOT
EVERYONE GOT EVERYTHING THEY
WANTED FOR EXAMPLE THE HUMANE
COMMUNITY REMAINS TROUBLED THAT
DOGS WILL BE CONTINUE TO ALLOW.
THEM TO PURSUE PIGS SETS IN A
DANGEROUS --
SITUATION BUT WE FEEL THAT HE
HAS COME FAR DESTRUCTIVE BALANCE
ACROSS THE STAKEHOLDERS
ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT
THAT THE BILL INCLUDES A
DEFINITION THAT WILL CLOSING
LONG TROUBLING A LOOPHOLE THAT'S
ALLOWED CANTON CAPTIVE HUNTS TO
CONTINUE IN CALIFORNIA.
OF THOSE PICS FROM THOSE I'M
HUNTING RANCHES ARE BOTH A
SOURCE --
FOR ESCAPED PIGS THAT THEN
BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO ADDRESS AND AND ALSO
IT'S OUT OF STEP WITH THE FACT
THAT CANNED HUNTS ARE NOT
ALLOWED FOR ALL ALL OTHER
SPECIES.
AND A SESSION EXCEPTIONAL EXCEPT --
YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFS AND THAT
CATCHING OF THE NON LEAD
AMMUNITION ISSUE AND APPRECIATE
THAT AMENDMENTS THANK YOU DENNIS --
A BUT I'M IN SHORT JUST WANTED
TO THANK MISTER BIGELOW FOR
TAKING THIS ON AND ON THE THANK
MY FELLOW STAKEHOLDERS WHO HAVE
PUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
ENERGY INTO THIS OVER THE YEARS.
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO.
OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE
[inaudible]
AYE SIR [inaudible]
AS A BUT ALAN MONNING
[inaudible]
OKAY.
HE GOT BOWS CENTER ON KEY HOME
WHEN I GET TO GO TO THE
POTENTIAL.
CHOI I APOLOGIZE SIR IT WILL
HEAR FROM GOT NEW CHAIR HE'S
BETTER THAN ME ANYWAY.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I LOVE TO HEAR FROM OPPOSITION
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN WAS
COMMITTEE --
MY NAME IS GERALD A POLL AND
I'VE BEEN ASKED --
SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE SAFARI
CLUB INTERNATIONAL CALIFORNIA
SPORTSMEN'S LOBBY.
ANY OUTDOOR SPORTSMAN'S
COALITION A CALIFORNIA WHICH IS
COALITION OF SPORTSMEN'S CLUBS.
UP AND DOWN THE STATE THE THEIR
BY REPRESENTATIVE WAS UNABLE TO
BE HERE TODAY SOMEONE MY BEST TO
FILL LAN.
THIS BILL.
IS VERY LENGTHY AND VERY COMPLEX
AND VERY INTRICATE IT'S LIKE A
WEB.
THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT IT
WILL LEAD TO THE HOPES WHOLESALE
DECIMATION OF THE WILD PIG
RESOURCE IN CALIFORNIA.
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS LANDOWNERS.
TO NOT HAVE TO APPLY FOR
DEPREDATION PERMITS NOT HAVE TO
REPORT.
ON WHAT THEY'RE DOING --
TO NOT HAVE REMOVE PIGS THAT ARE
SHOT FROM THE FIELD THAT ALLOWS
HIM.
TO ALLOW AT LET PEGS GO TO WASTE.
ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT IT
IT'S A CARTE BLANCHE FOR EXAMPLE
UNDER EXISTING LAW TO TAKE
EFFECT ON THEIR PROPERTY HAS TO
BE EITHER ENGAGING I
DEPREDATION ARE IMMEDIATELY
THREATENING TO ENGAGE IN
DEPREDATION.
BILL TAKES OUT THE WORD
IMMEDIATELY SO IT'S LIKE BEAUTY
IT'S ANY AYE OF THE BEHOLDER
FIFTH PICK STEPS ON HIS PROPERTY
IN SALE THAT'S A THREAT.
SHOOT IT MIGHT IT LAY.
THAT'S NOT GOOD --
WE DON'T THINK BILL HELPS
SPORTSMAN --
THAT MUCH THE SHARED HABITAT A
LANSING IS GOOD --
AND IT HAS HAD SOME SUCCES BUT
FOR MOST LANDOWNERS THERE'S A
LIABILITY ISSUE.
AND THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
ALLOWING PEOPLE THEY DO NOT KNOW
ON THEIR PROPERTY WITH FIREARMS --
NUMBER ONE NAY ME --
BEING INJURED OR ENTERED
SOMEBODY ELSE THAT COULD RESULT
IN THE LAWSUIT NUMBER --
TWO NE.
THEY ME INJURES MANAGER A QUICK
MANNER OTHER THINGS ON THE
LANDOWNER'S PROPERTY SO IT'S
HARD TO GET A LANDOWNER TO ALLOW --
HUNTERS ON THEIR LAND I SAY NO
THEM PERSONALLY SO I DOUBT IT TO
THIS FEELS REALLY ANA GONNA
RESULT.
IN A LOT OF ADDITIONAL HUNTING
THEY DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME.
IS CHARGED WITH HAVING A
MANAGEMENT PLAN --
FOR THE WILD PIG AND BACK IN
NINETEEN NINETY FIVE THEY
ACTUALLY PREPARED A MANAGEMENT
PLAN IT WAS A FIVE YEAR PLAN.
IT WAS NEVER UPDATED VERY
EXTENDED SENSE AND SO IN EFFECT
SINCE TWO THOUSAND THERE'S BEEN.
NO MANAGEMENT PLAN BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
NOW IT ONE OF THE OTHER
WITNESSES --
ME INDICATED THAT THE COMMISSION
HAD HAD HEARINGS AND MEETINGS
AND SO ON ON THIS AND YES THEY
DID AND OUT OF CONVERSATION BUT
NOBODY IN THE CONVERSATION HAD
ANY BENEFIT.
FROM THINGS DERIVE FROM A
MANAGEMENT PLAN IN THEIR
RESEARCH AND REPORTING AND ALL
THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
MISSING SINCE YEAR TWO THOUSAND
SO QUITE FRANKLY.
APARTMENT REALLY DOESN'T KNOW
THE STATUS OF WILD PIGS IN
CALIFORNIA EVERYBODY KNOWS WE
HAVE THEM EVERYBODY KNOWS WE
HAVE A LOT OF THEM.
THERE ARE SOME LANDOWNERS
EXPERIENCING SEVERE PROBLEMS
[inaudible]
SOME.
NINE FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW THE
WAY TO APPROACH THIS IS TO DEAL
WITH THE DEPREDATION
REQUIREMENTS I THOUGHT I HEARD
THE THE OF FARM BUREAU I
REPRESENTATIVE TALKING ABOUT THE
REPORTING IN THERE.
GETTING THE PERMIT AND ALL THAT
WE FEEL THE REPORTING ASPECT IS
CRITICAL BECAUSE WITHOUT.
HAVING REPORTS OF PIGS KILLED BY
ANY BAND STATE DEPARTMENT HAS NO
WAY OF KNOWING.
HOW MANY ARE TAKEN WHAT THE
STATUS IS WHAT'S GOING ON THEM
AND VARIOUS AREAS HOWEVER?
WITH RESPECT TO THE DEPREDATION
A PERMIT FOR AGRICULTURE IT IS
VERY CUMBERSOME AND THERE
CERTAINLY SHOULD BE SOME WAYS TO
LIGHTEN THAT UP AND MAKE IT MUCH
EASIER.
AND LESS BUREAUCRATIC RIGHT NOW
GAME WARDEN ACTUALLY HAS TO GO
OUT TO THE RANCHER THE FARM.
AND INSPECT THE DAMAGE IT'S A UP
THAT AND YOU KNOW RECOMMEND BAY
ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT AND THAT
TAKES A LOT OF FARMERS TIME.
RANCHERS TIME IN THE GAME
WARDENS TIME SO WE SHOULD
WEAKENED APPROACH IT FROM THAT
ASPECT A LOT OF THINGS THAT CAN
BE DONE TO HELP RESOLVE THE
PROBLEM THAT LANDOWNERS.
ARE EXPERIENCING THAT BUT THIS
BILL IS WAY TOO COMPREHENSIVE
WAY TO MORE I DISLIKE THE SAYING
ABOUT THE MEAT AXE APPROACH.
OR A SCALPEL IT'S NEED IN HAND
WE HAVE.
APPROACH THE AUTHOR --
NUMEROUS TIMES WANTING TO HAVE
VARIOUS AMENDMENTS TO DEAL WITH
THINGS OF SWAY AND THEY'VE BEEN-VERY POLITE AND THEY LISTEN TO
WHAT WE SAID BUT NOT MUCH WHAT
WE'VE SAID ABOUT ANYTHING --
HAS RESULTED IN AND CHANGES OF
THE BILL OTHER THAN THE MAN ON
POISONING IN AND OTHER GROUPS.
A SUPPORT DEMAND ON POISONING TO
ALL YOUR ANIMAL ADVOCACY GROUPS
SUPPORT TAB BAND.
SO FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW KNOW
WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS
AN APARTMENT NEEDS.
TO BE REQUIRED TO AT EMPLOY ITS
MANAGEMENT THAT MANDATE AND
DEVELOP A MANAGEMENT PLAN I
ACTUALLY MANAGE THESE PIGS AND I
KNOW SEE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS VERY GOOD BY
THE WAY --
SUGGESTED THAT AS AN OPTION.
THE OTHER THING IS WE ABSOLUTELY
NEED --
REPORTING HOW MANY PIGS ARE
TAKEN AND I NOTICED THAT THAT
WAS A RECOMMENDED ALSO AND THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
AND WE SEE NO NEED AT ALL TO
CHANGE A GAME ANIMAL STATUS OF
THE WILD PIG.
AND EXOTI THING IS CONFUSING
BECAUSE EXOTIC MEANS A
POPULATION THAT ARE YOU KNOW --
ANIMALS THAT ARE NON NATIVE THAT
HAVE BEEN RELEASED INTO THE WILD.
BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO
ESTABLISH A OF MY VIABLE
POPULATION IN THE WILD PIGS
PAVEL VIABLE POPULATION --
THEY'RE NOT THEY SHOULD NOT AS
EXOTICS --
MET AN EXAMPLE OF AN EXOTIC
WOULD BE ON THE GAME BIRD CLUB
SAY OFTEN RELEASE MONGOLIAN
BLACK PHEASANT.
WHICH CANNOT SURVIVE IN THE WILD
THAT'S AN EXOTIC --
THE CHINESE RING NECKED PHEASANT
HAS A GOOD POPULATION IN THE
WILD AND IS NOT AN EXOTIC SO BUT
THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS.
THAT WERE BROUGHT INTO THIS
STATE BESIDES PICKS CHINESE RING
NECKED PHEASANT EXISTS ON THE
AND THE WILD THE NAM.
WILD TURKEYS MATT WERE BROUGHT
IN HERE IN THE SEVENTEEN
HUNDREDS PER POPULATION WAS
REINTRODUCED HERE --
SEVERAL YEARS AGO THEY BROUGHT
IN RIO GRANDE'S --
FROM TEXAS SO WE HAVE A LOT OF
ANIMALS LIVING IN A WHILE THE
NON NATIVE CALIFORNIA IN
ADDITION TO THE WILD PIG IN A
WAY TO DEAL WITH NOW.
WHILE PIC IN OUR VIEW.
IS NOT THIS BILL.
THE WAY TO DO ALL THE WILD PIG
IS TO FINE TUNE THE EXISTING
LAWS THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE THE
LANDOWNER SOME RELIEF
[inaudible]
BUT GRETA NOT DECIMATE THE WILD
PIG RESOURCE THAT WE HAVE AND TO
MANDATE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH FROM WHILE I DO THIS JOB
AND DO A BETTER JOB.
OF BREAK ARAB MANAGING THE WILD
PIG RESOURCES AND FINING NOW
WHAT WE HAVE PERMANENT AREN'T
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE SO
THAT'S THAT'S THE ABSENCE OF OUR
OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU FOR TO SCHERMAN
MEMBERS COMMITTEE. FOR MISTER
CHAIR.
SENATORS MONEY WAS CHASING GUYS
AND I'M APPEAR FROM BAKERSFIELD
CALIFORNIA I'M A RETIRED US ARMY
SERGEANT MAJOR. TWENTY ONE YEARS
OF ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE FIVE
OVERSEAS DEPLOYMENTS --
I REPRESENT.
I GUESS I'M ONE OF SIXTY
THOUSAND VETERANS BETWEEN KERN
COUNTY IN SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY.
OF THAT 600-002-0000 HAVE
SERVICE CONNECTED DISABILITIES.
S. LIKE MYSELF [inaudible]
AND THIS BILL HAS SOME
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY
PREVENT.
VETERANS WITH SERVICE CONNECTED
DISABILITIES AND OTHER PEOPLE
WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
FROM BEING ABLE TO GO.
TO A PLACE LIKE BETTER WATER
OUTFITTERS AND EXPERIENCE
HUNTING THIS TYPE OF ANIMAL
WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT.
AND TRY TO DO THIS --
WITH THE DISABILITIES THAT THEY
HAVE IN SO.
SOME OF THE SECONDARY AND
TERTIARY RESULTS OF THE MEETING
[inaudible]
TWENTY EIGHT OH FIVE ARE.
THE CONCERN TO ME AS A DISABLED
VETERAN AND THOSE VETERANS THAT
I REPRESENT FROM SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTY IN KERN COUNTY.
WHERE THIS COULD?
BE SOMETHING TO HINDER THEM AND
SO.
I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AB TWENTY
EIGHT OH FIVE AND ASK FOR YOUR
NO VOTE ON THIS BILL THANK YOU
EXPERT TESTIMONY --
WILL NOW HAVE OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION PLEASE COME FORWARD.
ARE THERE ANY OTHERS AT THIS
TIME.
BUT IT IS JUST A BOND WITH THEM
REPRESENTING OUR HEROES DREAMS
ONE TO SOLDIERS FAMILY REALLY
FUN --
SEVERAL OTHER BETTER NONPROFITS.
YOU KNOW EVEN THOUGH WE CLIPPED
OR FOUR HUNDRED RECENTLY GET OFF
A SUICIDE WATCH AND INTO A NEW
MISSION.
WE HAVE A COUPLE TOOLS IN OUR
TOOLBOX TO DO THAT.
AND THIS BILL I AGREE WITH A LOT
OF IT.
BUT THERE'S ONE SECTION.
WHEN DEALING WITH THE PRESERVES
AND IT?
TAKES TO SECTION TWENTY SEVEN
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE ONE OF
THOSE TOOLS AWAY FROM US.
HAS ALREADY SAVED A COUPLE
HUNDRED VETERANS LIES IN JUST
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
AND WHAT THAT IS IS BASICALLY
TAKING SOMEBODY WITH MISSING
BOTH ARMS AND BOTH LEGS LIKE
DAVE RILEY WHO IS OUR NATIONAL
COMMANDER FOR THE D. V.
[inaudible]
OR MANY OF THE OTHERS MISSING TO
LAKES AND BEING ABLE TO TAKE
THEM OUT ONTO A PRESERVE.
AND TEACH THEM A SAFE WAY BEHIND
GET THE ADRENALINE BAG GOING TO
OPEN THE DOOR SO WE CAN GET BACK
INTO THAT COUNSELING WITH THEM.
OTHERWISE THEY'RE SITTING ON THE
COUCH WITH AND IT'S SO HARD TO
GET THAT ADRENALINE BACK.
IT'S GOING TO CLOSE IT DOWN HERE
IS GOING TO TAKE THAT TOOL IF WE
PASS THIS SECTION OF THE BILL.
AGAIN.
I'M GOOD WITH MOST OF THE BILL
BUT THAT'S SECTION NEEDS TO BE
LOOKED AT BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU
RIGHT NOW.
IT IS GONNA COST LIVES WE GIVE
PREVIOUS TESTIMONY.
IT'S GOING FORWARD.
TARA GRANT WITH BETTER WATER

PRESERVE SO THAT WE REALLY WANT
TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR IN
MOVING FORWARD TO ADDRESS AND

FOR SANE AND WELCOME BACK TO OUR
COMMITTEE [inaudible]
SENATOR ALLEN.
WELL I'M.
MORE THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING
AND SPEAKING I I CERTAINLY NEVER
THOUGHT OF THE AUTHOR IS SAD
BEEN SOMEONE WHO'S SEND.
ON THE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF
WOUNDED VETS AND AND THE HUMMING
COMMUNITY --
CAN YOU CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT
TO SOME OF THE OPPOSITION
CONCERNS AND AND GIVE US A SENSE
OF THE NEGOTIATION RISING THE
SECOND HOUSE NOW --
HOW THESE COVERS HE'S BEEN GOING
WHAT WHAT'S WHAT WOULD YOU THINK
YOU'RE STILL SOME OF THE BEARS
FOR RESOLUTION IF THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE SEEKING?
RIGHT.
NOW I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION I
I DO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE.
THAT'S SQUARELY PRESENTED TO US
HERE WITH WITH THE VETERANS.
BUT LET'S BE REALLY CLEAR THOUGH
WE'RE NOT DISALLOWING ANY
VETERAN. TO GO OUT BEHIND WITH
ANY CHANGES IN THE TEXT OF THIS
BODY.
WHAT THIS RELEASE?
THIS ISSUE REALLY IS MORE OF THE
CONFINED HUNTS SO JUST IMAGINE
YOU ON A THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND.
AND WITHIN THAT LAND YOU FENCE
OFF A HUNDRED ACRES TWO HUNDRED
ACRES OR SO MAYBE A LITTLE BIT
MORE EVEN.
AND YOU PUT A CYCLONE FENCE UP
THAT'S A TYPICAL TYPE OF FENCE
THAT YOU WOULD SEE IN THESE
CONFINED SPACES OR MAYBE EVEN
THE STANDARD HARDWARE --
TYPE THE MEASURE WHICH IS A FOUR
BY -- FOUR
SQUARED --
WIRE MESH THAT'S DONE WITH A
TWELVE GAUGE WIRE.
I KNOW THESE THINGS BECAUSE
MEMBERS FORMALLY I WAS A BIG
PRODUCER [inaudible]
TOM.
A LITTLE STORY FOR YOUR LITTLE
TRIVIA FOR YOU A STAR WHEN I WAS
NINE YEARS OLD WHEN MY FIRST BIG.
A BUILT UP TO HUNDRED BROOD
CELLS ONE PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE
JIM DEAN START WITH.
TWO HUNDRED MY JUNIOR YEAR I
SOLD OUT BECAUSE MARKET
COLLAPSED I UNDERSTAND WHAT
OCCURRED WITH THE PIG POPULATION.
YOU SEE THE VAST MAJORITY OF
PEOPLE TURN THEIR PIGS LOSE.
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO
SELL.
THE MARKET WAS AT NINETEEN CENTS
ABOUT SIXTY FIVE CENTS A POUND
OF FEED THIS HAPPENED THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE NATION.
THAT'S WHY WE SEE ANTS THE STATE
OF TEXAS SOME OF THE MOST
DEVASTATING CAR WRECKS THERE ARE
WITH GREAT CARNAGE OF PIGS
RUNNING EVERYWHERE ACROSS OUR
HIGHWAYS.
BUT TODAY IN THIS STATE WHAT
WE'RE DOING WITH THESE SPECIFIC
TYPE FONTS IS IMPORTING THESE
PARTICULAR PICKS.
THESE PIGS ARE DOMESTICATED
PAIRINGS PURCHASED IN CANADA
TRANSPORTED WITH THE CDF A
BLESSING ACROSTIC --
ABOUT COUNTRY BOUNDARIES BROUGHT
INTO CALIFORNIA AND PLACED IN
STRATEGIC LOCATIONS IN A FIELD
FOR SOMEONE TO GO OUT AND
EXPERIENCE A HOT AND GET A KILL.
THE SAME EXPERIENCE CAN HAPPEN
IN THE WILD WITH OUR NATURAL
PIGS THAT ARE HERE.
MANY OF THOSE PIGS DO ESCAPE
MAYBE NOT FROM THEIR WATER THE
FROM OTHER PRESERVES THAT THEY
DO ESCAPE WHICH IS ADDING TO THE
POPULATION.
I THINK IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR
US TO LOOK AT THE MATRIX AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT OCCURS WITH THE
BREEDING POPULATION OF PIGS JUST
ASSUMING IF YOU ADDED THOUSAND
PICS TODAY.
RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S ALL IN THE
WILD.
THEY THOSE PARTICULAR FEMALES
COULD BREED AND THEY COULD RAISE
EIGHT THOUSAND NEW PICS.
PER BREEDING LINDA THAT THREE
TIMES HERE FOLKS.
THE NUMBER MULTIPLIES RAPIDLY.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN THE
PROBLEM WITH THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IT'S OUT OF CONTROL
VIRTUALLY IN EVERY COUNTY WE
HAVE PIGS TODAY.
AND AS I WAS SAID TO YOU BEFORE
[inaudible]
GOLF COURSES.
HOMES HAVE SUFFERED.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE.
IN THE WILD ARE FARMERS OR
RANCHERS HAVE ALL SUFFERED.
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ACRES
CHEWED UP BY THESE WILD PIGS
NEEDLESSLY.
AND I SAID I SAID IN MY OPENING
COMMENTS.
I ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF FARMERS
AND FARMING CROPS WE SAW RIGHT
OVER IN THE VALLEY FROM US THAT
IS VERY ABUNDANT WITH THE CROPS
IN THE VEGETABLES I GO OUT.
WHERE PEOPLE CONSUME THOSE
VEGETABLES ASSUMING THAT THEY
WERE CLEAN AND FREE OF ALL
EQUALI MATERIAL?
UNFORTUNATELY.
THERE WAS STUFF THERE AND IT
CAME FROM THE WILD PIGS.
WITH RESPECT TO THESE FOLKS HERE
I DON'T WANT.
TO HAVE THEM LOSE THEIR
EXPERIENCE.
BUT IN ORDER TO BRING ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS FORWARD.
THIS IS THE BEST THAT WE'VE COME
UP WITH.
BUT AS MY EYES I GAVE YOU --
SENATOR ALLEN I GIVE YOU MY PLAY
JIM IN MY OPENING COMMENTS I
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ALL
THOSE STAKEHOLDERS EVERYONE OF
THEM. TO TRY TO BRING FORTH EVEN
THE BEST CHANGE IS POSSIBLE AT
THE LAST MOMENT SO YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT ON OUR THANK YOU
PROCEED AS WELL AS THEY SHALL.
FAVORITE CENTER MONEY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
WELL I DON'T THINK THE AUTHOR
FOR TRYING.
TO FIND THE BALANCE HERE AND IN
RESPECTIVAS WHO'S COME TO
TESTIFY ENSURE THEIR CONCERNS.
LA REPRESENTING PARTS OF
MONTEREY COUNTY SAN LUIS OBISPO
COUNTY IT'S A BIG ISSUE --
FROM MY CONSTITUENTS --
BUT WE'VE SEEN THE THE PAST IN
THE DAMAGE SIDE IS WELL WE HAD A
TRAGEDY ON HIGHWAY --
ONE WILD PIGS COMING ACROSS THE
HIGHWAY AFTER MIDNIGHT
MOTORCYCLIST HIT HIM HE'S NO
QUADRIPLEGIC.
USED TO RUN A KARATE STUDIO IN
MARINA.
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND CAL TRANS EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS --
BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE FENCING TO
PROTECT.
THAT HIGHWAY.
THE BOARDS COME FROM THE CARMEL
VALLEY TO THE SEWAGE TREATMENT
FACILITY NEAR THE OCEAN
[inaudible]
ON BUT THEY DO A LOT OF DAMAGE.
AND THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE OF OF
DAMAGE SO I APPRECIATE YOUR
TRYING TO FIND A BALANCE HERE --
MISTER CHAIR I AM PREPARED TO
MOVE THE BILL THE APPROPRIATE
TIME.
THINKING.
THE APPROPRIATE TIME SO CENTER
MONEY MOVE YOUR BILL YOU ANY
THEY CAN CLOSING STATEMENTS I
WOULD JUST I ASK. FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE ON THIS RESPECTFULLY.
THANK YOU THEM NOW THIS IS GOING
TO GO.
TO BUT AS AMENDED TO
APPROPRIATIONS THIS CULTURAL
CENTERS HERTZBERG STONE.
STONE AYE ALLEN.
ALLEN AYE HUESO JACKSON MCGUIRE.
MONEY.
MONNING AYE STERN THE ROLE OPEN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU
MEMBERS.
THAT'S WHERE ASSEMBLYMAN STONE
FILE NUMBER.
SEVENTEEN AB TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
ONE WELCOME SIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
SENATORS.
SO AB TWENTY FOUR TWENTY ONE IS
ABOUT MONARCH BUTTERFLIES.
WELL THEY ARE ICONIC IN A VERY
SIGNIFICANT PART OF OUR ECONOMY
ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST.
THERE DIMINISHING WE SEE YOU SEE
MILLIONS COME OF THE CENTRAL
COAST AND OVER WINTER IN
CALIFORNIA.
NOW WE'RE SEEING ONLY A COUPLE
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND THEY'RE ON
THE TRACK TO EXTINCTION.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS
THIS BILL CREATES A FUND CREATES
A PROGRAM AND THE MONEY AND
THERE'S ABOUT THREE MILLION
DOLLARS BUILT INTO THE BUDGET.
RIGHT NOW. FOR THIS PROGRAM TO
PROVIDE GRANTS AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE TO FARMERS AND
LANDOWNERS IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
WHICH IS THE BREEDING HABITAT.
FOR THE MONARCH BUTTERFLIES IN
ORDER.
TO DO THE KIND OF CONSERVATION
NEEDED TO TRY TO RECOVER THE
POPULATION BUT ACTUALLY EVEN
MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT MONARCHS HERE BUT
WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT OUR
POLLINATORS.
IN THE MALL MONARCHS THEMSELVES
ARE NOT GREAT POLLINATORS THE
HABITATS TO SUPPORT THE MONARCHS
ALSO SUPPORT POLLINATORS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL WITH PLAIN
CONSERVATION WE COULDN'T HAVE
SEVERELY DETRIMENTAL AFFECTS NOT
JUST ON THESE BUTTERFLIES BUT ON
ALL POLLINATORS AND OF COURSE
OUR AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
REQUIRES POLLINATORS.
TO SURVIVE AND AND TO THRIVE IN
CALIFORNIA.
SO THIS IS JUST A SMALL FUNDS
WORKING WITH THE WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION BOARD AND AGAIN
THERE WAS THREE MILLION DOLLARS
IN THE CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET.
FORCES PROGRAM THIS WILL ALLOW
US TO FIND OTHER MONIES
HOPEFULLY FIND SOME MATCHES IN
PRIVATE INDUSTRY TO GROW THIS
FUND AND PROVIDE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE.
AND GRANTS TO LANDOWNERS WHO
WANT TO CONSERVE IT TO PROTECT
POLLINATORS IN CALIFORNIA WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I
DON'T THINK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY FIRST WITNESS.
THANK YOU.
A MORNING VICE CHAIRMAN STONE
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS ERIC HOLSTEIN.
A UC DAVIS TRAIN BIOLOGISTS WHO
WORK WITH THEM [inaudible]
SACRAMENTO I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF
THE STATE BOARD OF FOOD
AGRICULTURE.
I'M HERE TO ENCOURAGE YOU HERE
TODAY TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO
SUPPORT AB TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
ONE THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY.
ANNA IN PONY TO RESCUE PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM WOULD PROVIDE
INCENTIVES TO FARMERS AND
RANCHERS TO VOLUNTARILY ENHANCE
HABITAT.
THAT WILL BENEFIT MONARCH IN
OTHER POLLINATORS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THE
TERM RESCUE MONARCH WERE ONCE
ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE IN
UBIQUITOUS.
HAVE A WILDLIFE SPECIES.
THEY'RE FAMILIAR RESIDENTS THE
CENTRAL COAST.
WITH THE SPEND THE WINTER IN THE
SPRING THEY FAN OUT FROM THE
COAST AND BREED.
AND FEED THROUGHOUT COASTAL
COMMUNITIES IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THE FOOTHILLS OF THE
SIERRA NEVADA.
BUT AS THEIR BREEDING HABITAT
HAS DECLINED.
THE NUMBERS OF THE WESTERN
POPULATION HAVE DECLINED AS WELL.
AS MR STONE MENTION THAT
POPULATION WAS MEASURED IN THE
MILLIONS JUST TWENTY OR THIRTY
YEARS AGO.
LAST YEAR THE POPULATION WAS --
ESTIMATED TO BE TO OUR THOUSAND
A DECLINE OF 30% FROM THE YEAR
BEFORE.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT NOTE THAT THE
WESTERN POPULATION IS DISTINCT
FROM THE MORE.
PERHAPS MORE FAMOUS BUT EQUALLY
IMPERILEDEASTERN POPULATION
THAT OVER WINTERS IN THE
MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL MEXICO.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MARK CAN
RECOVER A CONCERTED EFFORT TO
RESTORE BREEDING AND FEEDING
HABITAT IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
FOOTHILLS CAN MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE.
AS HABITAT CONSISTS OF IN
APPROPRIATE BLAND OF WILD
FLOWERS FLOWERING SHRUBS
MILKWEED AND GRASSES.
BUT WE IS THE KEY FOR MONARCH
BECAUSE IT LAYS ITS EGGS
EXCLUSIVELY ON VARIOUS SPECIES
OF THIS UNIQUE PLANT.
AND HERE'S THE KICKER.
THE SAME HABITAT IS HOME AS
BUSINESSES TO MENTION IS HOME TO
CALIFORNIA'S MOST ECONOMICALLY
VALUABLE CLASS OF WILDLIFE
NATIVE BEES AND OTHER
POLLINATORS CRITICAL*
CONTRIBUTORS TO CALIFORNIA'S.
NEARLY FIFTY BILLION
AGRICULTURAL FIFTY BILLION
DOLLAR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY.
NATIVE BEES ANOTHER POLLINATORS
ARE SIMILARLY EXPERIENCING
TROUBLING DECLINES PARTICULARLY
IN AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES WHERE
THEY PROVIDE THE MOST BENEFIT.
IN CALIFORNIA SOME OF OUR MOST
IMPORTANT CROPS INCLUDING ALMOND
STRAWBERRIES APPLES.
PUBLICADOS QUEUE WE AND OTHERS
DEPEND ON BEE POLLINATION.
THEIR MONARCH IN A HANDFUL OF
OTHER PET POLLINATORS ARE

HE'S GOT ONE BILL ON CONSENT BUT
HE'S HERE TO A COUPLE OF ON
CONSENT BUT HE'S HERE PRESENTING.
ITEM TWENTY EIGHT IN YOUR PACKET
THAT'S AB [inaudible]
TWO THE SEVEN AND ACTUALLY THE
WILDLIFE BIRD WATERFALL HABITAT.
I DON'T AGRICULTURE LANDS AND
WITHOUT FURTHER YOU MAY MAY
PROCEED.
THEN A MONICA AND THE UNION
SENATOR I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY THIS MORNING I AM
PLEASED PRESENT.
AB TWENTY SIX NINETY SEVEN WHICH
WOULD ESTABLISH AN INCENTIVE
PROGRAM.
A TO ENCOURAGE LANDOWNERS TO
MAINTAIN COVER CROPS OR NATURAL
VEGETATION ON IDLED AGRICULTURAL
LANDS TO PROVIDE HABITAT AND
NESTING COVER FOR WATER FELL.
IN OTHER WILDLIFE.
VEGETATIVE COVER --
PROVIDES VALUABLE NESTING
HABITAT FOR WATERFOWL ANOTHER
GAM BIRDS AND MAKES WORKING
MAN'S MORE WILDLIFE FRIENDLY.
A VOLUNTARY INCENTIVE PROGRAM
LIKE THAT LIKE WE'RE PROPOSING.
ARE THAT IS FLEXIBLE FOR
CALIFORNIA LANDOWNERS WOULD
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF HABITAT
AVAILABLE FOR THESE IMPORTANT
PURPOSES.
HABITAT INCENTIVE PROGRAMS HAVE
A PROVEN TRACK RECORD IN BOTH
CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES
PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS
TO WILDLIFE.
AND I WOULD POINT OUT DOES YOU
KNOW ONE GREAT EXAMPLE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IS THE WITH THE
CALIFORNIA RICE INDUSTRY IN --
NO THE INTO WORKING LANDS --
PROGRAM WE'VE HAD THAT HELPS
PROVIDE FOR MIGRATORY WATERFOWL.
IN THE STATE HAS BEEN IT'S BEEN
A GREAT BENEFIT --
SO IN ADDITION WILDLIFE BENEFITS
COVER CROPS HAVE ALSO SHOWN TO
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE FIELD
NUTRIENT RUNOFF.
AND HELP WITH CARBON
SEQUESTRATION.
BY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF
WATERFOWL HABITAT AVAILABLE THIS
BILL WOULD ALSO HELP MEET GOALS
AND OBJECTIVES.
OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY JOINT
VENTURE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
WHICH BOTH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH WILDLIFE NDW OR ARE
SIGNATORIES.
TO HOW WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT IS MARKEDLY FROM THE
CALIFORNIA WATERFOWL.
ASSOCIATION HALF.
THANK YOU AN ARM RESPECT LAST
RIBA.
WHEN IS MAY PRECEDE HOA I THERE
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MARK HENLEY CALIFORNIA
WATERFOWL --
OUR LOCAL MALLARD AND PHEASANT --
NUMBERS ARE NOT DOING WELL RIGHT
NOW THEY'RE NEAR HISTORIC LOWS
SO THIS IS.
A PROP FOR DOING THE BILL --
I THOUGHT THE SUMMARY GIVEN BY --
OUR AUTHOR WAS VERY GOOD I'LL
JUST ADD THAT.
I SEE PARTICULAR BENEFIT FOR
THIS PROGRAM UP AND RICE GROWING
AREAS OF THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY
WERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT A NESTING
HABITAT BUT YOU HAVE A LOT OF
GOOD WATER FELL BROOD HABITAT --
IN SO ONCE THOSE BIRDS HATCH OUT
OF THOSE NASTY ACTUALLY HAVE.
A PLACE TO GO ON SO THAT THEY
CAN COMPLETE THEIR LIFE CYCLES
SO.
LOOK FOR THIS TO BUT MOST
BENEFIT THE RICE GROWING AREAS --
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT
PROVIDING US COVER THROUGH THE
BREEDING SEASON CAN GREATLY
BENEFIT WATERFOWL. ONE EXAMPLE
IS --
THERE'S A TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN
RICE COVER CROP ROTATION PILOT
PROJECT THAT WAS DONE IN THE
SACRAMENTO VALLEY IT FOUND THAT
ANNUAL COVER CROPS LOCATED.
ADJACENT TO RICE CULTIVATION
PRODUCED AN AVERAGE OF 39% NESTS
EXCESS.
BIOLOGISTS WILL TELL YOU IF YOU
GET A THING OVER 15% THAT'S A
GOOD THING SO.
A DOUBLED --
YOU KNOW WHAT THE TARGET WAS --
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM IS
A FEDERAL FARM BILL PROGRAM THAT
WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HEARING
CALIFORNIA AND WE'VE TRIED TO TO
GET ESTABLISHED HERE.
ONLY PROBLEM HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF
OUR REQUIREMENTS.
THAT DON'T FIT WELL WITH OUR
LANDSCAPE OR ARE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH
FOR OUR GROWERS.
THOSE REQUIREMENTS HAVE
PRECLUDED THAT PROGRAM FROM
COMING HERE THAT PROGRAM HAS
REALLY SHOWN SOME GREAT RESULTS
IN THE UPPER MIDWEST THE PRAIRIE
POTHOLE REGION OF THE UNITED
STATES AND REALLY SIGNIFICANTLY
RAISE WATERFOWL POPULATIONS
THERE SO.
BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET THAT
FEDERAL PROGRAM HERE WE WOULD
LIKE TO DO OUR OWN PROGRAM.
AND AS OUR AUTHOR SAID YOU KNOW
GET SOMETHING THAT IS MORE
TAILORED TO OUR GROWERS NEEDS SO.
WITH THAT --
WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT --
HOPE THE DAY YOU WILL APPROVE
THIS BILL THANK YOU IF YOU.
ARE GOING TO SUPPORT.
YES MY NAME IS DAN CONNELLY I'M
WITH PHEASANTS NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION PHEASANTS FOREVER.
AND I SEE THIS IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF THIS OF THIS BILL --
THIS PROGRAM THE NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION SEIZE THIS IS A
REALLY A COMPANY.
COMPANION PROGRAM TO WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE MID CON AND FOR
PHEASANTS DEVELOPING HABITAT FOR
NOT ONLY PHEASANTS FOR ALL
GROUND NESTING BIRDS THE DECLINE
OF GRASSLANDS AND SUITABLE COVER.
FOR FOR UPLAND BIRDS IS JR DECRY
DECLINED DRAMATICALLY AND SO WE
SEE THIS IS A VERY POSITIVE.
A POSITIVE PROGRAM IT HAS IT
ALSO HAS BENEFITS TO ADD FOR
BENEFICIAL INSECTS YOU TALKED
EARLIER ABOUT OF A MONARCH
BUTTERFLY.
I MEAN ANY TIME YOU GET THAT
LAND COVER ON THE LAND --
IT'S OF A BENEFIT IN LIKE I JUST
WANT TO SHOW YOU TWO PICTURES OF
THAT I THINK.
SHOWS YOU WHAT AT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE AGRICULTURE
COMMUNITY WITHOUT --
WITHOUT NATURAL COVER.

THIS BILL EXPANDS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY AND TO DO THAT
BATES --
RELATED TO VEGETATION MANAGEMENT

HAPPY TO DO IT ALSO CREATES A
PROCESS TO WORK WITH LANDOWNERS.
ABSORB ALSO PLEASE AT THIS BILL

AB TWENTY NINE SEVENTY FIVE
REQUIRES THE SECRETARY OF
NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY AT
THEIR DISCRETION TO TAKE ACTION
TO ADD ANY CALIFORNIA RIVER.
IN THE NATIONAL WILD AND SCENIC
RIVER SYSTEM HE LISTED OR WHOSE
PROTECTIONS ARE WEAKENED BY
FEDERAL BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO THE STATE WILD AND
SCENIC RIVERS SYSTEM IF IT'S NOT
ALREADY A PART OF SUCH OF THE
STATE SYSTEM.
IT ALLOWS THE LEGISLATURE
MCGOVERN TO SUCH A TOUR EARLY
REPEAL OR MODIFY THE DESIGNATION
AND THE TIME SO IT HAS SAFE
GUARDS.
IT LIMITS PROTECTION TO FEDERAL
RIVERS DESIGNATED AS OF JANUARY
FIRST TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN AND
THEIR EXISTING GEOGRAPHICAL
LINKS.
AB TWENTY NINE SEVENTY FIVE IN
ANY PROTECTIONS GRANTED TO ANY
RIVERS UNDER AT SUNSET ON
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST.
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE UNLESS THE
LEGISLATURE ACTS TO PROTECT

RECENT AMENDMENTS REMOVE THE
OPPOSITION OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THE FARM
BUREAU WESTERN FOR HOURS THE
WINE INSTITUTE THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WTER AGENCIES THE
CALIFORNIA ADDITIONAL UTILITY.
ASSOCIATION AND MANY OTHERS
WE'VE WORKED VERY HARD WITH THE
OPPOSITION TO NARROW THIS IS
MUCH AS WE CAN TO REALLY MAKE
SURE THAT WE STILL OFFER THE
PROTECTIONS FOR CALIFORNIA'S
RIVERS BUT ADDRESS THOSE
CONCERNS.
AB TWENTY NINE SEVENTY FIVE
WOULD NOT ADD ANY NEW RIVERS
THAT ARE ALREADY PROTECTED BUT
WOULD ENSURE THAT FEDERALLY
PROTECTED RIVERS IN CALIFORNIA.
WOULD BE PROTECTED UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW SHOULD THEY
SUDDENLY LOSE THEIR FEDERALLY
PROTECTED STATUS.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF AB NINE SET TO NINE
SEVEN FIVE IS STEVE EVANS WITH
FRIENDS OF THE RIVER AND NATION
AND THAT NATHAN RAEGLE.
FROM [inaudible]
BOTH.
CALIFORNIA OUTDOORS THANK YOU
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS STEVE
EVANS I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF
FRIENDS OF THE RIVER WHICH IS
THE SPONSOR OF AB TWENTY NINE
SEVENTY FIVE FRIENDS THE RIVER'S
BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PROTECTION
OF EVERY WILD AND SCENIC RIVER
IN CALIFORNIA SINCE THE NINETEEN
EIGHTIES.
THE FEDERAL AND STATE WILD AND
SCENIC RIVERS SYSTEMS ARE THE
PRIMARY RIVER CONSERVATION TOOLS
IN CALIFORNIA BOTH SYSTEMS
PROTECT THE FREE FLOWING
CHARACTER AND EXTRAORDINARY OR
OUTSTANDING VALUES.
OF ABOUT TWENTY ONE HUNDRED
MILES OF SELECTED RIVER ND
STREAM SEGMENTS WHICH EQUALS
ABOUT 2% OF THE NINETY FOUR
THOUSAND MILES OF RIVERS IN THE
STATE.
THERE ARE ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FORTY SEVEN MILES OF RIVERS
AND STREAMS IN CALIFORNIA THAT
ARE --
SOLELY PROTECTED IN THE FEDERAL
SYSTEM.
THIS INCLUDE SOME OF THE MOST
WELL KNOWN WILD AND SCENIC
RIVERS IN THE STATE INCLUDING
SEGMENTS OF THE TOILETTE ME IN
MERCED RIVER'S WHICH FLOW OUT OF
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
THE KING'S RIVER WHICH FLOWS OUT
OF SEQUOIA KINGS CANYON NATIONAL
PARK IN THE KERN RIVER IN THE
SOUTHERN SIERRA.
AB TWENTY NINE SEVENTY FIVE
PROVIDES A STATE SAFETY NET FOR
THESE EXISTING FEDERAL RIVERS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
FINDS IS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER OR
CONGRESS PASSES LEGISLATION TO
REMOVE OR WEAKENED PROTECTION.
FROM ALL OR PART OF THESE RIVERS.
ASSEMBLY MEMONS PROVIDED A
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE SUNSET --

THE RIVERS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS
PROTECTION ARE ONLY THOSE RIVERS
IN THE FEDERAL SYSTEM --
AS OF JANUARY FIRST.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN AB TWENTY NINE
SEVENTY FIVE DOES NOT INCREASE
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF RIVERS AND
STREAMS PROTECTED AND STATE IT
SIMPLY INSURES A TEMPORARY SAFE
HAVEN FOR EXISTING FEDERAL WILD
AND SCENIC RIVERS A CALIFORNIA
TO ENSURE.
THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED FOR
PRESENT AND FEED AND FUTURE
GENERATIONS.
THIS IS SIMILAR TO LEGISLATION
PASSED BY THE SENATE LAST YEAR
PROVIDING A STATE BACKSTOP FOR
FEDERAL CLEAN AIR AND WATER
REGULATIONS ENDANGERED SPECIES
AND WORKER SAFETY LAWS.
FAR SIGHTED LEGISLATORS
PROTECTED THESE RIVERS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS TO ENJOY. TO ENSURE
THE PROTECTION OF THIS IMPORTANT
LEGACY FRIENDS OF THE RIVER IN

COMMERCIAL RIVER OUTFITTING IS A
FINANCIAL ENGINE THAT DRIVES THE
ECONOMIES OF DOZENS OF LOCAL
TOWNS IN RURAL COUNTIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
COMMUNITY SUCH AS GHRELIN
CURRENT FILM HAPPY CAMP LOTUS IN
COLOGNE.
WOULD BE IN DIRE STRAITS WITHOUT

PROTECT.
YOU KNOW AND THAT WAS.
AND I DO HAVE THE MIGHTY LOS
ANGELES RIVER AND AND BY UNIT
CREEK IN MY DISTRICT BUT HOW
WOULD YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION
IF YOU RIVERS ARE IMPORTANT TO
ALL OF US AND THE REASON THESE
ARE PROTECTED IS BECAUSE THEY'RE
PROTECTED FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
OF CALIFORNIA.
AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE IN URBAN
AREAS SOMETIMES EVEN MORE THAN
PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS.
REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THESE RIVERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR
THE ENJOYMENT OF OF OUR KIDS --
MY DAUGHTER HAS YET TO GO TO
VISIT ONE OF THESE AREAS BECAUSE

STONE NO.
I WANT TO WELCOME THE VICE CHAIR
HERE WE ARE NOW ON ITEM THIRTY
SIX IT'S AB THIRTY TWO A SIX IN
ITS --
SIMILAR FRIEDMAN'S FINAL BILL.
AN AGREEMENT AB THIRD SHOW SIX
LESS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YOU --
BEFORE I TALK ABOUT THE BILL
ITSELF I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
THE AMENDMENTS THE SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS I'D LIKE TO HAVE MR
TURN MEMBERS --
I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT NUMBER FOUR
ON PAGE FIVE OF THE ANALYSIS AS
AN AUTHORS AMENDMENT.
WITH REGARDS TO COMMITTEE
AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE I'M HAVING
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES DEVELOPING THE
SAMPLING AND TESTING.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE STATE WATER
BOARD IS THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY
TO A DEVELOPING ADOPT THE
REGULATIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING
REASONS.
FIRST OF ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS
FOR SAMPLING AND TESTING METERS
TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO
DEVELOP A STATISTICALLY
REPRESENTATIVE ASSESSMENT.
OF THE LEVEL OF INACCURACY IN
CUSTOMER WATER METERS ON ITS
IMPORT APPROPRIATE FOR THE WATER
BOARD TO CONSIDER.
UMMAH IN DEVELOPING THE S. B..
FIVE FIVE FIVE PERFORMANCE
STANDARDS FOR A CONNECTION
BETWEEN THAT THE POLICY TO
EXISTING POLICY.
I'M A. B. THIRTY TWO OF SIX IS A
NARROW IN KOREAN AND QUITE
GERMANE TO THE WATER LOSS
PERFORMANCE CENTER THAT THE
BOARD IS COMMITTED TO ADOPTING.
IN TWENTY TWENTY AND COVERS FAR
LESS GROUND THAN THOSE UNDE THE
LONG TERM A FISH WATER
EFFICIENCY BILLS ALREADY.
ALSO AND MAYBE MOST IMPORTANTLY
SOME OF THE WATER AGENCIES
INCLUDING CMU <c.green&gt; ASKED US TO</c&gt;
AMEND THE BILL ON THE ASSEMBLY
TO INCLUDE THIS REQUIREMENT AS
PART OF THE S. B. FIVE FIVE FIVE
PROCEEDING AT THE WATER BOARD.
AND WE MADE THAT AMENDMENT FOR
THEM SO WE WERE WE DID THIS IN
AN EARLIER COMMITTEE I'M AT
THEIR REQUEST SO THAT'S WHY IT'S
THERE NOW.
I'M WITH REGARDS TO AMENDMENT
NUMBER TWO I'M WILLING TO INSERT
MOST RECENT IN LIEU OF A FIFTH
EDITION OF THE AWW A MANUAL.
HOWEVER THE PURPOSE OF A B.
THIRTY TWO SIX IS THE BUT TO
DEVELOP THE LOS FLOW TEST POINT
TO BETTER CAPTURE FLOWS IN
INDICATIVE OF LEAKAGE.
A WW ES STANDARDS ARE VOLUNTARY
AND THE MINIMUM TEST FLOWS
HAVING BEEN REVISED IN A HUNDRED
YEARS. FOR A FIVE EIGHT THEM
INCH METERS THE STANDARDS LACKS
ENOUGH TO RISK OBSCURE OBLIQUE
OF MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED
GALLONS PER DAY.
THIS IS WHY THE CURRENT LANGUAGE
STATES OF THE COMMISSION MAY
CONSIDER THE A W. D. THAT THE W.
A MANUAL.
WITH REGARDS TO A MEMBER NUMBER.
THREE THE BOARD REGULATIONS
PROPOSED BY THIS BILL DO NOT ADD
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
ENSURING THAT WATER METERS ARE
ACCURATE QUOTE UNQUOTE.
THE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR
SAMPLING AND TESTING METERS TO
THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO DEVELOP
A STATISTICALLY REPRESENTATIVE
ASSESSMENT OF THE LEVEL OF
INACCURACY IN CUSTOMER SERVICE
METERS.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT
INSTALL METERS ACTUALLY BE
ACCURATE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT
IT JUST THAT WATER SUPPLIERS
TAKES STEPS TO QUANTIFY HOW
INACCURATE THEY ACTUALLY ARE
THEN IT'S UP TO THEM TO DECIDE
WHETHER THEY'RE SO INACCURATE
THAT THEY WANT TO TAKE ACTION.
SO THEY SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE FOR THE BIG
QUANTIFYING WATER METER
INACCURACY IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP
IN QUANTIFYING LEAKAGE FOR
UTILITY TO CLIP CREDIBLY CLAIM
THAT IT'S MEETING THE BOARD
WATER LOS STANDARD.
IT WILL HAVE TO HAVE A CREDIBLE
ESTIMATE OF CUSTOMER WATER METER
INACCURACY OTHERWISE CLAIMS OF
MEETING A WATER LAW STANDARD A
REALLY WITHOUT ANY FOUNDATION TO
KNOW IF I CAN SPEAK TO THE
MERITS OF THE BILL ITSELF.
A. B. THIRTY TWO OH SIX ALLOWS
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
TO ADOPT REGULATIONS TO
ESTABLISH FOR FOREIGNERS
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR NEW
WATER METERS.
JUST LAST MONTH THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO REPORTED MORE MORE THAN A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
OVERCHARGES DUE TO THREE HUNDRED
FORTY THREE MISS READ METERS
THAT'S WATER.
OVER CHARGES THAT THEIR
CUSTOMERS HAD TO PAY THE CITY
HAS NOW PURCHASED A FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR DIGITAL TESTING
BRANCH.
TEST CUSTOMER METERS ARE WAVING
THE SIXTY SIX DOLLAR FEE TO HAVE
METERS TESTED FOR THEIR
CUSTOMERS.
CUSTOMERS ARE WATER AGENCIES
SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT
THEIR METERS ARE ACCURATE AND
THAT THEIR CORRECTLY CHARGE FOR
THEIR WATER USAGE.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE STATE
WATER BOARD CONTROL THE STATE
WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD TO
ADOPT REGULATIONS FOR THE
SAMPLING AND TESTING OF METERS
TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY. TO
DEVELOP STATISTICALLY
REPRESENTATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE
LETTER LEVEL OF AN INACCURACY IN
CUSTOMER SERVICE METERS DURING
THE BOARDS EXISTING REGULATORY
PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING WATER
LOSS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
UNDER S. B..
FIVE FIFTY FIVE FIFTY FIVE
ACCORDING TO WATER AUDITS FILED
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES IT TURNS OUT THAT TWO
THIRDS.
YET THAT TWO THIRDS OF ALL WATER
SYSTEMS CONDUCT NO REGULAR.
TESTING OR SAMPLING TO DETERMINE
THE ACCURACY OF THEIR INSTALL
METERS.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT
INSTALL METERS ACTUALLY BE
ACCURATE JUST REPEAT JUST THAT
WATER SUPPLIERS TAKES STEPS TO
QUANTIFY HOW INACCURATE THEIR
METERS ACTUALLY R..
A. B. THIRTY TWO OF SIX WOULD
ENSURE THAT NEW METERS ARE
REQUIRED TO MEET N ACCURATE
STANDARD.
WHEN BEING BEFORE BEING SOLD IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN EXISTING
INSTALL METERS ARE TESTS
INSUFFICIENTLY?
WE HAVE TAKEN MANY OF THE
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY THE WATER
AGENCIES AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THEM TO ADDRESS ANY
REMAINING CONCERNS.
WITH ME TODAY IS.
TO WHEN PHARAOH WITH THE SAN
DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT.
I DID WILL JUST SAY THAT AS
SOMEONE WHO SAT ON THE CITY
COUNCIL AND HAD TO HEAR
COMPLAINTS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
OVER THE YEARS SAYING THAT I
COULDN'T POSSIBLY.
USE THIS AMOUNT OF WATER MY
METER MUST BE INACCURATE PRINT
AGENCY TO HAVE NO IDEA HOW
COMMON THAT INACCURACY IS REALLY
DOES OUR CUSTOMERS A DISSERVICE
AND WE SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE
THOSE MINIMUM STANDARDS
STANDARDS IN STATUTE. TO MAKE
SURE THAT WATER AGENCIES PERFORM
THOSE TESTS AND KNOW HOW
ACCURATE THEY ARE AND THEN
SECONDLY WE SHOULD MAKE SURE
THAT THE NEW METERS THAT ARE
BEING SOLD IN CALIFORNIA HAVE
SOME MINIMUM STANDARD OF
ACCURACY.
AND RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE THAT
AT ALL SO WITHOUT ALL MOVED TO
THE SUPPORTERS OF YOUR TESTIMONY
YOUR FITNESS CONCERT MAYBE THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT
BILL.
MY NAME IS TRACY QUINN I AM THE
DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIA WATER
CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY FOR
THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL.
THIS BILL THE BILL DOES TWO
DISTINCT THINGS FIRST IT DIRECTS
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
TO SET STANDARDS FOR THE
ACCURACY OF NEW WATER METERS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE METER
ACCURACY AT LOW FLOWS IS
ESSENTIAL FOR IDENTIFYING WATER
LEAKS IN OUR HOMES AND IN OUR
BUSINESSES.
WHEN WE DON'T DETECT THOSE LEAKS
THE COST OF THAT LOST WATER IS
SOCIALIZED TO ALL THE CUSTOMERS
IN THE SERVICE AREA?
THAT MEANS YOU MAY BE PAYING FOR
YOUR NEIGHBORS LEAKING TOILET.
AND THOSE LEAKS MAY CONTINUE TO
GO UNDETECTED WE SEE MORE AND
MORE WATER AND MORE AND MORE
MONEY.
ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE NO
CURRENTLY NO MANDATORY ACCURACY
STANDARDS FOR WATER METERS AS
MISS FRIEDMAN NOTED THE AWW A
STANDARDS REFERENCED IN SOME OF
THE COMMENT LETTERS ARE
VOLUNTARY.
AND THE TEST LOW RATES AND
ACCURACY REQUIREMENTS FOR MOST
MERE TYPES HAVE NOT BEEN EIGHT
DATED FOUR FIFTY TO A HUNDRED
YEARS.
IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN UTAH
STATE UNIVERSITY --
CONDUCTED A STUDY ON THE
ACCURACY OF BOTH NEW AND IN
SERVICE WATER METERS.
AND FOUND --
EVEN WITH BRAND NEW METERS
INCREDIBLE VARIABILITY AT LOOK
THE LOAF BELOW THE LOW FLOW TEST
RATE FOR AWA WHICH FOR MOST
METERS IS A A QUARTER.
GALLON PER MINUTE NOW TO PUT
THAT IN PERSPECTIVE A LEAK AT
ONE EIGHTH GALLON PER MINUTE SO
HALF OF THAT LOW FLOW TEST RATE.
WOODS I WOULD BE WASTING MORE
THAN SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND GALLONS
ANY YEAR THAT'S JUST WOULD BE
JUST ONE SINGLE LEAK.
I AM AN RTC ALSO CORROBORATED
THESE RESULTS IN SUBSEQUENT
METER TESTING THAT WE DID WITH
OUR UTILITIES SOME UTILITY
PARTNERS.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT GOING
FORWARD CALIFORNIA WATER
SUPPLIERS ARE PURCHASING AND
INSTALLING NEW METERS THAT ARE
ABLE TO ACCURATELY MEASURE THE
SLOW FLOWS.
SECOND THE BILL DIRECTS THE
STATE BOARD TO SET REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE REGULAR TESTING OF IN
SERVICE WATER METERS.
THE ACCURACY OF WATER METERS CAN
REDUCE OVERTIME AS PLUMBING
FIXTURES BECOME MORE EFFICIENT
AND LOW FLOW ACCURATE M. AND
LOCAL ACTORS YOU'VE METERS
DIMINISHES THE PROBLEM OF WATER
LOSS COULD CONTINUE TO BE
EXACERBATED.
ACCORDING TO WATER LOS REPORTS
AS MISS FRIEDMAN NOTED I
SUBMITTED BY CALIFORNIA WATER
SUPPLIERS TWO THIRDS OF
CALIFORNIA WATERS PLAYERS DO NOT
REGULARLY TEST THEIR METERS.
REGULAR TESTING WOULD PROVIDE
WATER SUPPLIERS WITH CRITICAL
INFORMATION TO HELP MANAGE THEIR
SYSTEM.
I DESPITE WHAT HAS BEEN
INCLUDING SOME OF THE OPPOSITION
WAS THE BILL WOULD NOT REQUIRE
THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY
INACCURATE METERS SIMPLY GIVING
INFORMATION TO THOSE WATER
SUPPLIERS SO THEY KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH.
THE STATE BOARD IT AND AGAIN AS
HAS BEEN OF THE STATE BOARD IS
THE APPROPRIATE AGENCY TO
DEVELOP THE PROTOCOL FOR THIS
TESTING BECAUSE THEY ARE
CURRENTLY DEVELOPING WATER LOSS
STANDARDS UNDER --
THE SP FIVE FIVE FIVE RULE
MAKING AND ACADEMIES EASILY BE
INCLUDED.
YOU CAN'T MANAGE WHAT YOU'RE NOT
ACCURATELY MEASURING THIS BILL
ULTIMATELY PROVIDE WATER
SUPPLIERS WITH THE TOOLS AND
INFORMATION THEY NEED TO BETTER
IDENTIFY LEAKS AND LOSSES WITHIN
THEIR SERVICE SERVICE AREA.
REDUCE WATERWAYS RECOVER LOST
REVENUE AND MEET LONG TERM WATER
USE OBJECTIVES THANK YOU.
HER TESTIMONY IS COULD.
A GOOD AFTERNOON I'M MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
GLENN FARRELL SAN DIEGO COUNTY
WATER AUTHORITY --
JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO UNION
COLLEAGUES PASSED LANDMARK --
WATER USE EFFICIENCY LEGISLATION
AUTHORED BY CHAIR HERTZBERG
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN --
TO HELP MAKE CONSERVATION.
NORDIC IMPLEMENT THOSE OF THOSE
MEASURES AND REALLY I IMPROVE
CALIFORNIA'S WATER CONSERVATION
ETHIC GOING FORWARD WATER
MANAGERS NEED ALL THE TOOLS
AVAILABLE TO THEM --
IN TERMS OF WATER USE EFFICIENCY
IN THE BILLS THAT --
THAT WERE PASSED RECENTLY.
REALLY GOT --
ACCURATELY NOW DO THAT DO THAT
UP IN A MAJOR WAY IN TERMS OF
ADDRESSING INDOOR WATER USE.
A LOOKING OF FIXTURES AND
APPLIANCES AND IMPROVING INDOOR
WATER YOU STANDARDS --
LOOK SAID OUTDOOR WATER YOU
SCANNERS ESTABLISHING TO
REGULATORY PROCESS --
YOU KNOW CHIEF OF ALL OUTDOOR
WARTY SCANNERS FOR LANDSCAPES IN
CALIFORNIA AND ALSO LOOKS AND
EXAMINES OF WATER LOSS IN LEAK.
AYE INFORMATION I'M PROVING
CALIFORNIA'S WATER SYSTEMS AND
THAT'S REALLY WHY WE SUPPORT A
B. THIRTY TO A SEX.
THERE REALLY FOCUSES IN ON THAT
PERFORMANCE
IMPROVES --
THE LEAK DETECTION AND THE
ABILITY FOR WATER MANAGERS TO
REALLY SEE THAT --
EARLY ON INTO ADDRESSES OR
DEFICIENCIES IN THE SYSTEM SO WE
SUPPORT THE BONE OCCUR DRIVE.
THANK YOU FOR TESTIMONY AND IF
OTHERS AND NOW SUPPORT PLEASE
COME FORWARD AND UP LASSEN WITH
THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES ASSOCIATION AND IN
FACT TODAY I'M SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA NEVADA
SECTION AMERICAN WATER WORKS
ASSOCIATION.
WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE AMENDED
POSITION WE REALLY APPRECIATE
THE EXTENSIVE EFFORTS THAT THE
AUTHOR AND HER STAFF HAVE GONE
TO TO WORK WITH US ON THIS BILL.
AND ALSO THE THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS
IN THE ANALYSIS HEARING TO WORK
ON THAT ARE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
DANIEL BROUGHT ON BEHALF SIERRA
CLUB CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT.
MISTER JOSEPH ANY OTHERS IN
SUPPORT OF AB PARTICULAR SEX.
IF DOLLARS ANY OPPOSITION PLEASE
COME FORWARD [inaudible]
WELCOME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS JACK FOX.
BUT EXCUSE ME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF CALIFORNIA WATER SITUATION.
APPEARING ON BEHALF OF CW A
WHICH IS THE THE OF CPUC
REGULATED UTILITIES AND ALSO I
GUESS I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA WATER
AGENCIES AS WELL --
AND THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS
THAT.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN AND HER
STAFF --
SHOULD BE COMMENDED --
FOR THE AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE
BEEN TAKEN THUS FAR THIS BILL
HAS.
IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE IT
WAS INTRODUCED IN FACT.
HE HAS TAKEN TWO OF MY SUGGEST
AMENDMENTS --
AND WE HOPE WHEN WE LOOK FOR TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH HER DURING
THE RECESS --
HOWEVER THERE STILL THREE AREAS
OF CONCERN THEY WERE ARTICULATED --
VERY --
APPROPRIATELY IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS ONE HAS TO DO WITH COST.
ONE HAS TO DO WITH TIMING AND
THE OTHER HAS TO DO IT THE
JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY.
WITH RESPECT TO COST IT'S NOT
ACCURATE.
TO SAY THAT THE A BILL WOULD NOT
REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF METERS
WHEN YOU TESTED METER YOU HAVE
TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE METER BOX
YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT. TWO A METER
SHOP THAT HAS BEEN --
SET UP TO COMPLY WITH A W. W. A
A TESTING STANDARDS YOU THEN
HAVE TO TEST THE METER YOU HAVE
TO REPLACE.
THAT CUSTOMER'S METER BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T GO WITHOUT YOU'RE
TESTING THE ORIGINAL METERS SO
YOU HAVE.
TO PUT IN A METER --
ONCE YOU TEST THE METER AND
RECORD THE REACTOR RECORD THE
RESULTING SET UP A RECORD. FOR
THAT METER FOR THE REST OF ITS
USEFUL LIFE.
AND AFTER THEN YOU HAVE TO
DECIDE WHETHER YOU'RE GOING.
TO DISCARD THE METER ARE EDITS
NOTHING'S WRONG WITH IT REPLACE
IT -- IN
ANOTHER CUSTOMERS LE A PROMISES.
WAR A REPAIR AND RECONDITION THE
METER AND THEN MAKE IT --
ACCEPTABLE FOR A FREE CONTINUED
USE -- SO
AND THAT NOW WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT THE COST OF ALL OF THAT --
WHICH IS.
PROBABLY MORE THAN ACTUALLY JUST
TAKING OUT THE METER AND BUYING
A NEW ONE IN PUTTING AN END.
THE SIGNIFICANT COSTA THINK
ABOUT MULTIPLYING THAT COST BY
THOUSANDS OF METERS IN ORDER TO
GET A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT
SAMPLE.
OF A WHICH IS WHAT THE BILL
CALLS -- FOR
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE
AND THAT IS MORE THAN LIKELY
OVERWHELMED.
BUT COULDN'T A OVER THE WATER
THAT IS ACTUALLY BEING LOST LE
FROM ALL THESE METERS HERE --
IN ADDITION IT'S ACTUALLY GOING
TO INCREASE THE CUSTOMERS COSTS
ALL OF THOSE COSTS WOULD BE PUT
INTO THE ACOSTA SERVICE NUMBER.
ONE BUT WHEN THE METER DEGRADES
OVER TIME AND ACTUALLY WORKS IN
THE CUSTOMER'S FAVOR THOUGH.
TRACY TREAD TRACY AND THE OTHER
SUPPORTERS ARE CORRECT THE
CUSTOMERS ARE USING WATER THAT
THEY'RE NOT PAYING.
FOR AND THAT BEEN AS AN IMPACT
ON THE UTILITIES --
REVENUES --
AT CENTER BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY
REPLACE THAT METER.
WITH INACCURATE METER THE
CUSTOMERS COSTS ARE GOING TO GO
UP AND YOU'RE GONNA GET
COMPLAINTS THAT WAY.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE IT'S A TWO
EDGED SWORD YOU HAVE TO BALANCE.
THAT VERSUS THE THE VERY
LAUDABLE GOAL HERE OF ACTUALLY --
MAKING SURE YOU KNOW THAT YOU
HAVE THE MOST A ACCURATE METER
IS POSSIBLE --
SO THERE IS A COST CONSIDERATION
THAT -- WE
NEED TO EXPLORE FURTHER FARCE
THE TIMING IS CONCERNED --
WE AGREE WITH THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS ON THE TIMING HERE YOU
HAVE S. B..
FIVE FIFTY FIVE THE ONLY THING
HAS BEEN DONE THIS FAR IS THE
VALIDATOR IS THE AUDIT --
VALIDATOR --
CERTIFICATION.
THE ACTUAL WATER LAW STANDARD IS
STILL TWO YEARS AWAY JULY TWENTY
TWENTY FROM --
BEING DEVELOPED BY.
THE D. W. ARE AND THEN THE WATER
BOARD --
THIS BILL THOUGH WILL COME TO
THEM PART OF A REGULATIONS FOR
THE TESTING IN THE SAMPLING
YOU'RE GONNA OCCUR EIGHTEEN
MONTHS BEFORE THE ACTUAL WATER
LAW STANDARD.
IS WEAK THINK I BELIEVE WE
SHOULD HARMONIZE THE DATES.
ON ALL OF THESE --
ACTIVITIES HERE FIRST HARMONIZE
THE THE TESTING IN SAMPLING
REGULATIONS DATE WITH THE MERE
ACCURACY STANDARDS AS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE BILL THAT'S
NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TO
HARMONIZE THIS WITH THE ACTUAL.
WATER LAW STANDARDS THIS IS
GOING TO BE A SUBSET.
OF THE A WATER LOSS A STANDARD
S. B. FIVE FIFTY FIVE WILL
HARMONIZE ALL THESE DATES AND
AND PURSUANT TO A A WITH A
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS DID.
AND THEN FINALLY ON THE
JURISDICTIONAL QUESTION I DO
ACKNOWLEDGE EVERYTHING --
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRIEDMAN SAID
ABOUT THE ONE HOWEVER --
AND THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO
WORK ON THE SUMMER WATER BOARD
HASN'T DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
AND THE ONLY AND ONLY ENTITY
THAT ACTUALLY IS MANDATED TO DO
EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW IT'S US
THEM THOSE UTILITIES A REGULATED
BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION WE ACTUALLY.
HAVE TO A FOLLOW THE IN SIX AWW
HIM SIX A STANDARDS BOTH WITH
RESPECT TO OUR METER SHOPS AND
WITH RESPECT --
TO ARE TESTING.
AND AND SO.
JUST FOR US WE NEED TO RECONCILE.
WHAT THE WATER BOARD WOULD DO?
WITH RESPECT TO WHAT WE ALREADY
HAVE TODAY THAT'S NUMBER ONE BUT
EVEN FOR THE PUBLIC AGENCIES IN
THE MUTUALS ANOTHER BUT IT'S NOT
REGULATED --
BY THE P. YOU SEE.
IT'S WITH THE WATER BOARD IS
GONNA NEED GUARD RAILS WITH
RESPECT TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE
STANDARDS FOR TESTING IN
SAMPLING.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO WORK
WITH THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FRIEDMAN --
AND HER STAFF THIS SUMMER ON
TRYING TO GET THOSE GUARDRAILS
IN PLACE NOT IT'S ISN'T AS MUCH
AS I RESPECT WATER BOARD STAFF.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE EXPERTISE IN
THIS IN THIS FIELD HERE AND I I
DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM THIS
MUCH DISCRETION ON DEVELOPING
REGULATIONS FOR TESTING AND
SAMPLING.
THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE
A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ON
OPERATIONS A A FOR THESE WATER
UTILITIES.
SO WITH ALL THAT SAID WE WE DID
CONCUR WITH THE THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS WE APPRECIATE THAT THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRIEDMAN SKIN
WONDER EXCEPT A COUPLE OF THOSE.
AMENDMENTS AND WE LOOK FOR TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH EARTH
SUMMER.
THANK YOU VERY TESTIMONY ANY
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION TO AB THIRD
TO US.
IF NOT IT WILL COME TO BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE. FOR ANY COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS [inaudible]
MOTIONS [inaudible]
OKAY.
CENTER MONEY WAS NO OBJECT CLOSE
AUGUST IF I MAY JUST RESPOND TO
A FEW THINGS FIRST OF ALL I I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT
WE'VE DONE SO FAR TOGETHER AND
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER
TO TRY TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS.
I WANT TO POINT OUT FIRST THAT
THERE ARE TWO PARTS OF THE BILL
ONE PART --
I DON'T I DIDN'T HEAR ANY --
ISSUES WITH WHICH WAS TO SET UP
THE STANDARDS SO THAT WHEN THEY
PURCHASE WATER METERS THEY KNOW
THAT THERE'S ACERTAIN LEVEL OF
ACCURACY --
THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IN
TERMS OF THE COST OF
IMPLEMENTING THIS WE ARE NOT
TODAY SETTING THE ACTUAL
STANDARDS ARE SAYING WHAT THEY
HAVE TO DO TO BE COMPLIANT AND
ADDS I'M ASSURED THAT THE WATER
BOARD COULD TAKE COST INTO
ACCOUNT.
SO THAT IT DOESN'T BECOME SO
OWNERS BUT I WOULD --
PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT IN THE
IDEA THAT IT'S OKAY THAT THESE
OLDER METERS ARE YOU KNOW WILDLY
INACCURATE BECAUSE OF THE
CUSTOMER WILL PAY LESS OVER TIME
I THINK THAT THOSE COSTS GET
PUSHED OFF ON RATE INCREASES FOR
EVERYONE ELSE --
AND THE INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS --
EFFICIENTLY AND WE JUST SAW CASE
RECENTLY IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE
THEY FOUND OUT THAT SOMETHING
LIKE A HUNDRED OF THE WATER
USRS IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH THE
LARGEST LOTS.
AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE
PROPERTIES HADN'T BEEN PAYING
WATER BILLS FOR LIKE. THIRTY
YEARS BECAUSE THE METERS WERE
WORKING AND YOU KNOW WHO GOT MAD
THOSE THOUSANDS OF OTHER USERS
OUT THERE WHO CIVIL WAIT I PAID
MY METER IN THESE GUYS DIDN'T
HAVE TO PAY THEIR METER.
AND THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE
HAVING ANY TESTING OF THESE SO
WE KNOW WE'VE WRITTEN BY THINK
WE OWE IT TO OUR CUSTOMERS TO TO
HAVE AN STATUTES SOME
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE
AGENCIES TO GO OUT AND AND
TESTES METERS TO MAKE SURE
THEY'RE ACCURATE [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
