New Equipment on a Turlock Dairy Farm Reduces ...

California Department of Food and Agriculture

Supported by a $565,470 grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Alternative Manure Management Program, Paul Danbom of Brindeiro & Danbom Dairy Farms in Turlock took a significant step towards improving the efficiency of his dairy operation and installed a new solid separation system. Instead of flushed manure being discharged directly into a settling pond and storage lagoon system, it is now pumped through a separator capable of capturing a large portion of manure solids, keeping that organic material from entering and decomposing in a liquid environment where it would produce methane.

The High-Speed Rail Project: Progress Over the Last Decade

California High-Speed Rail Authority

Funded in part by California Climate Investments, the High‑Speed Rail Project has made investments to contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, support jobs, and conserve and protect agricultural lands. Implementation of the High‑Speed Rail Project provides a variety of benefits to Californians. Estimated GHG emissions reductions from the High‑Speed Rail Project are 84 to 102 MMTCO2e over its first 50 years of operating life, as detailed in the 2023 California High‑Speed Rail Sustainability Report.

Many Hearts Coming Together for San Francisco’s AHSC Project

In October 2023, the City of San Francisco’s Balboa Park Neighborhood held a ribbon cutting for 131 new affordable homes adjacent to the Balboa Park Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station, known as Kapuso at the Upper Yard. These homes were built thanks to
$29.9 million from SGC’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC), in its fifth round of funding. The AHSC program funds the construction of affordable housing near transit as a key strategy to reduce GHG emissions by reducing vehicle miles traveled, and Kapuso at the Upper Yard is a key example of the need for this work.
