AMAQELA ACHISA UMTHETHO OSAYILWAYO WOKUTYHALA UKULAHLWA KWE-OCEAN E-OFFSHORE RIGS

Umdibaniso ohlukeneyo wombuso kunye nemibutho yolondolozo yelizwe namhlanje ubonise inkcaso emandla kwi-SB 233, umthetho oyilwayo ocetywayo nguSenator weSizwe uRobert Hertzberg oya kwandisa ngokungafanelekanga ukuthambekela kokulahlwa kolwandle okulahliweyo kwe-oyile kunye negesi yegesi. [Jonga ileta engezantsi.] Lo mthetho uyilwayo mtsha uya kugxininisa ngokungafanelekanga iimpembelelo zexesha elifutshane zokususwa ngokupheleleyo kweerigs ezichithiweyo ngelixa ungahoyi izibonelelo zokususa ngokupheleleyo amaqonga e-oyile angasasetyenziswayo ngokuthobela izivumelwano zokuqala ezisayinwe ngokuzithandela ziinkampani zeoyile.

Eyona nkxalabo yala maqela kukuba ukushiya inxalenye yezixhobo zeoyile ezilahliweyo elwandle kuya kukhokelela kungcoliseko lwexesha elide lwemekobume yaselwandle. Iirigi kunye nobutyobo obujikelezileyo zinokuqulatha iikhemikhali eziyityhefu ezibandakanya i-arsenic, i-zinc, ilothe kunye neePCB. Ukongeza, uRhulumente unokuba noxanduva lwazo naziphi na iingozi ezibangelwa zezi ngozi eziphantsi kwamanzi.

"Iinkampani zeoyile zizama ukusebenzisa lo mthetho usayilwayo ukurhoxa ngokuzibophelela kwikhontrakthi ixesha elide lokususa amaqonga xa imveliso igqityiwe." watsho URichard Charter, uMnini oMkhulu kunye ne-Ocean Foundation.

"Uninzi lwamaqonga e-oyile kunxweme lwaseCalifornia akwiSanta Barbara Channel, enye kwezona ndawo zityebileyo ngokwebhayoloji kwiplanethi. Ukuvumela ukulahlwa kolwandle kwamaqonga e-oyile angasetyenziswanga isongela le nkqubo imangalisayo yendalo, kwaye inokumisela umzekelo kwamanye amashishini ukuba angcolise wethu indalo yaselwandle,” watsho uLinda Umzimba, uMcebisi oyiNtloko weZiko loKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo, inkampani yomthetho wendalo esingqongileyo enomdla kwikomkhulu eSanta Barbara.

“Lo ngomnye umzekelo woluntu olucelwa ukuba luthwale umngcipheko wexesha elide ngoko nangoko iinzuzo zeenkampani zeoyile, utshilo uJennifer Savage, uMphathi wePolisi yaseCalifornia Isifriji Isiseko.

Amaqela agxininisa ukuba uhlaziyo lomgaqo-nkqubo ongacetyiswanga kakuhle olucetywayo kwi-SB 233 luza kuthatha icala kwangethuba kwiimfuno zangoku zikaRhulumente zomiselo olujoliswe kwimeko nganye nganye kwaye endaweni yoko lukhethe ukushenxiswa ngokuyinxenye. Baphikisa ngelithi lo mthetho uyilwayo uza kudlelelela ii-arhente ekususweni ngokupheleleyo ngokugxotha iziduli zodaka ezinetyhefu ezifunyenwe phantsi kwezinto ezininzi zakudala zaselunxwemeni zisuka kubutyala obuwela kurhulumente, ngelixa isusa ngempazamo inkunkuma eyityhefu enjalo kuqwalaselo olufanelekileyo njengobume bendalo esingqongileyo.
impembelelo. I-SB 233 ikwabhidanisa ngempazamo iimpembelelo zobulunga bomoya zexesha elifutshane kunye nokukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse kuvavanyo olufunekayo lweempembelelo zexesha elide kwimekobume yaselwandle.

La maqela aphinde avakalisa inkxalabo yokuba abemi beLizwe laseCalifornia bangenza ngokungeyomfuneko bazifumana besemngciphekweni kwityathanga letyala lemali njengomamkeli weerigi ezilahliweyo elunxwemeni, kuba uRhulumente sele eqinisekisile, kwiminyaka yeenzame zangaphambili zokulumkisa abasebenzisi bolwandle ngobukho be ezilahliweyo iziduli zamaqokobhe eChevron, ukuba akunakwenzeka ukugcina ngokufanelekileyo inkqubo yokulumkisa ngengozi yolwandle ukuze abalobi nabanye oomatiloshe baphephe ngokuthembekileyo ukudibanisa kunye phantsi kolwandle ukuphazamiseka kwezi ndawo zinetyhefu. NgoLwesine, umhla we-11 ka-Agasti ngowokugqibela umhla wokugqibela wokuhambisa i-SB 233 eSacramento.

Re: SB 233 (Hertzberg): Ukuyekiswa kwePlatform ye-oyile negesi- CISA

Othandekayo uSenator Hertzberg:

Imibutho esayiniweyo kufuneka imchase ngembeko iSB 233. Imibutho yethu inenkxalabo enzulu malunga nezilungiso ezicetywayo zokonakalisa eziqulethwe kuyilo lwangoku lweSB 233 oluya kuthi ngokucacileyo ukwenza buthathaka umthetho okhoyo (AB 2503 – 2010) ngokwandisa ngokucacileyo ukuthambekela ekususeni inxenye yenkcitho echithiweyo. i-oyile kunye ne-gas rigs ngokugxininisa kwiimpembelelo zexesha elifutshane lokususa ngokupheleleyo kunye nokungahoywa kweenzuzo zokususa amaqonga e-oyile kunye nokubuyisela imeko-bume yaselwandle njengoko kwakuvunyelwene ngokwesivumelwano ngabaqeshi.

Nangona sisixhasa isindululo sokutshintsha i CEQA i-arhente ekhokelayo esuka kwiBhunga loKhuseleko lwe-Ocean ukuya kwiKomishoni yeMihlaba yeLizwe laseCalifornia, sixhalabile ukuba olunye uhlaziyo olungacetyiswanga ecetywayo kwi-SB 233 ingathabathi cala kwangaphambi kwexesha kummiselo kaRhulumente wetyala ngetyala ngokukhetha inxalenye ukususwa kunye nokususwa ngokupheleleyo ngeendlela ezininzi.

Mhlawumbi okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ezinye zezinto ezikhoyo kwi-6613(c) zisusiwe, kubandakanywa imfuneko yokuqwalasela iziphumo ezibi zokususwa ngokuyinxenye kubulunga bamanzi, okusingqongileyo elwandle, kunye nemithombo yebhayoloji (jonga ku-6613(c)(3)), kunye nokuqwalasela iinzuzo kwimo engqongileyo yaselwandle ukusuka ukususwa ngokupheleleyo (6613(c)(4)). Ukucima ezi mfuno kunika injongo yowiso-mthetho yokuba azisekho ezifunekayo.

Ukongeza, i-SB 233, njengoko iyilwe ngoku, izama ukuqhawula iinduli zodaka ezinetyhefu kunye neengqumba zamaqokobhe. ngokungenakuphepheka ifunyenwe phantsi kweerigs ze-offshore ukusuka kwikhonkco lamatyala awela kuRhulumente, kodwa ngokwenza njalo, ulwimi olucetywayo luthambekele ekubeni lungaqondwa kakuhle ukuze lususe udaka kunye neziduli zoonokrwece ukuthathelwa ingqalelo kwi-equation balancing equation. I-SB 233 ikwabhidanisa umoya wexesha elifutshane ngempazamo iimpembelelo zomgangatho kunye nokukhutshwa kwerhasi yegreenhouse (eya kuqwalaselwa njengenxalenye ye CEQA ukuphonononga) kwi uvavanyo olufunekayo lweempembelelo zexesha elide kubume bemeko yaselwandle.

Siza kuphinda siveze ukuba, phantsi kwemiqathango yezilungiso ecetywayo kwiSB 233, uRhulumente. yaseCalifornia inokuhlala kwityathanga letyala, njengoko kusekwe ngokucacileyo nguMthetho ofanelekileyo wowama-2001. Izimvo zabacebisi ezibonisa imida kwiimfuno zobuyiselo. URhulumente sele efundile ngamava akhoyo anxulumene neengqumba zamaqokobhe eChevron ukuba akunakwenzeka ngokusebenzayo gcina isixokelelwano sokulumkisa ngengozi kulo mxholo.

Kungumgaqo-nkqubo wethu esihlangeneyo ukuyichasa ngamandla iSB 233 ngendlela ecetywayo ngayo.

Enkosi ngengqalelo yakho yobubele.
