M'mwezi wotsatira, magulu ammudzi ndi mamembala a ReLeaf Network kudutsa California ali ndi mwayi wopereka ndemanga pazinthu ziwiri zofunika. Mapulaniwa ndi dipatimenti yoona za madzi (DWR) Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWM); ndi California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Urban Forest Project Protocols. Mpaka pano, zoyesayesazi zakhala zopanda phindu kwa magulu a nkhalango akumidzi omwe amagwira ntchito tsiku ndi tsiku kuti adyetse dziko lathu lagolide, koma motsogozedwa ndi okhudzidwa atha kukhala opindulitsa.
Mu Marichi, 2014, Bwanamkubwa Brown ndi Nyumba Yamalamulo adalamula DWR kuti ifulumizitse kupempha ndi kupereka ndalama zokwana madola 200 miliyoni mu ndalama za IRWM zothandizira mapulojekiti ndi mapulogalamu omwe amapereka kukonzekera kwachilala mwamsanga, pakati pa nkhani zina zofunika zokhudzana ndi madzi. Kuti ndalamazi zigawidwe mwachangu, DWR ikhala ikugwiritsa ntchito njira yochepetsera zopempha thandizo, ndipo ikupempha anthu kuti afotokozepo za Phukusi la Grant Programme Guidelines and Proposal Solicitation Package (PSP).
IRWM idakhazikitsidwa ndi lonjezo lokulitsa mgwirizano pakati pa omwe akuchita nawo mbali zosiyanasiyana kuti athetse njira zokhazikika zoyendetsera madzi m'madera momwe osewera abwino kwambiri omwe ali ndi ntchito zabwino adzakwera pamwamba. Komabe, mamembala a Network kuchokera pafupifupi m'dera lililonse lamadzi awonetsa kukhumudwa pa njira ya IRWM yomwe maboma am'deralo amalepheretsa mpikisano wopanda phindu pandalamazi.
Nkhani ya IRWM sidzathetsedwa mwamsanga, koma poyambira ikhoza kupereka ndemanga yolembedwa ku DWR za momwe ndalama zomaliza za Proposition 84 zidzaperekedwa m'miyezi ingapo yotsatira. Pitani patsamba la DWR kuti mudziwe zambiri.
Momwemonso, anthu akumidzi akumidzi akhala akuvutika ndi Compliance Protocol for Urban Forest Projects kuyambira pomwe CARB idawatengera.
Bungwe la Climate Action Reserve lalandira ndemanga kuyambira nthawi imeneyo kuti Version 1.0 ya ndondomekoyi idapereka zopinga zazikulu pakukhazikitsa bwino kwa ntchito za nkhalango zakumidzi. Izi zidafufuzidwanso ndikutsimikiziridwa pa msonkhano wa Carbon Offsets & Urban Forest womwe unachitikira ku Davis mu 2012. Mkulu pakati pa nkhawa zomwe zidanenedwa zinali kutsimikizira pafupipafupi komanso kuyang'anira.
CAR idalandira ndalama kuchokera ku CALFIRE kuti iwunikenso Protocol Project Protocol ya Urban Forest mu 2013, ndipo yatulutsa ndondomeko yosinthidwa kuti iwunikenso ndi ndemanga za anthu, zomwe ziyenera kuchitika Lachisanu, Epulo 25.th. Cholinga cha kukonzansoku chinali kupanga ndondomeko yokonzedwanso yomwe idzapangitsa kuti ntchito za nkhalango za m'tauni zitheke kutsatiridwa pamene zikugwirizanabe ndi malamulo oyendetsera chitukuko cha carbon offset.
Pa webusayiti yake, CAR imati "kukhazikitsidwa kwa ndondomeko yosinthidwa ndi Reserve kuyenera kuthandizira kukhazikitsidwa kwa projekiti zambiri zankhalango zakumidzi" (pakhala imodzi yokha mpaka pano). Komabe, mayankho oyambilira ochokera kwa okhudzidwa angapo akuwonetsa zopinga zazikulu zikadalipo.
Malingaliro ofunikira kwambiri pankhaniyi adzachokera kumadera omwe akhudzidwa ndi ma protocol, ndi omwe amagwira ntchito pansi. Pitani ku tsamba la Climate Action Reserve kuti mudziwe zambiri, ndipo mawu anu amveke.
