Air Quality & Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Impact Analysis

The contract requires the performance of comprehensive air quality baseline assessments and emissions modeling specifically tied to composting operations, with the goal of evaluating the greenhouse gas reduction impacts these activities achieve. The work must be aligned with California’s SB 1383 regulations and broader state climate objectives to reduce methane and other potent emissions from organic waste. The scope involves collecting and analyzing data to quantify current air quality conditions, projecting emissions outputs from composting facilities, and assessing how interventions contribute to meeting mandated reduction targets. The analysis will support policy implementation and reporting under the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery’s initiatives, ensuring scientific rigor and regulatory compliance across all phases of the project. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620 and is posted under CalRecycle’s purview, reflecting its role in advancing the state’s circular economy and climate resilience goals.
