[CPEO-BIF] [Fwd: Proposition 1C Brownfield Remediation Program]

[Lenny Siegel <lennysiegel@gmail.com>]

From: 	Carrillo, Deana <Deana.Carrillo@treasurer.ca.gov>


Proposition 1C, The Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of
2006, included provisions to fund brownfield cleanup.  The recent State
budget included an allocation of $60 million of these funds to CALReUSE
to "administer loans or grants … for the purpose of brownfield cleanup
that promotes infill residential and mixed-used development, consistent
with regional and local land use plans.”

As part of the process in developing the regulations for the new
brownfield remediation program, the California Pollution Control
Financing Authority will be conducting public workshops to solicit input
on the proposed program.  Upon completion of the public workshops and
receiving input from interested parties, CPCFA staff will develop
proposed program regulations.  We anticipate regulations will be
available for public comment and review in November, and presented to
the CPCFA Board for consideration in December.

The preliminary proposal is available at
http://www.treasurer.ca.gov/CPCFA/calreuse/proposal.pdf for review.

The times and dates for the stakeholder meetings are listed below.
Space is limited, and pre-registration to the public workshops is
strongly encouraged.  You may pre-register at www.treasurer.ca.gov/CPCFA
<file://www.treasurer.ca.gov/CPCFA>.  If you are unable to attend one of
the scheduled public workshops, please send your comments in writing to
calreuse@treasurer.ca.gov <mailto:calreuse@treasurer.ca.gov> or
CALReUSE, 915 Capitol Mall, Room 457, Sacramento, CA 95814.
