On September 29, 2015, the California Air Resources Board (ARB)
initiated an investigation into whether compliance offset credits
issued for livestock methane destruction events that took place
at the T&M Bos Dairy in Fair Oaks, Indiana (Facility) may have
been generated while the Facility was not in compliance with air
permitting rules of the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management's Office of Air Quality. Identified parties have
provided information to ARB, and the Executive Officer has
requested and received additional information to make a final
determination.
This notice begins the regulatory 30-day period for the Executive
Officer to make a final determination as to whether ARB will
invalidate any compliance offset credits generated at the
Facility. After the 30-day period begins, the Executive Officer
may issue the final determination at any time and does not need
to wait for the 30-day period to conclude. The release of the
final determination will be noticed ahead of time to ensure all
market participants receive the information simultaneously. Once
the final determination is made publicly available, offsets
determined to be valid that were not allowed to be transferred
during the investigation will no longer be blocked from being
transferred.
