Ca. Public Utilities Notice of Prearation

Rainbow Community Planning Group,

You very well may have received a communication directly from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding their Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR on SDG&E’s proposed Pipeline Safety & Reliability Project (PSRP) when they issued it last week.  In case the notice did not reach you directly, I wanted to send you a courtesy notice to share the information with you.

The NOP initiates a public comment period from May 9 through June 12, during which the CPUC is soliciting comments on the potential effects of the proposed project, the scope of the EIR, and the issues and alternatives to evaluate in the EIR.  The CPUC will hold three public meetings May 23-25 in Fallbrook, Escondido and Scripps Ranch (times and locations below).  Attached is a copy of the NOP, as well as the legal notice and postcard that was mailed by CPUC.  The NOP and additional information are available on the CPUC’s website at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/Environment/info/ene/sandiego/sandiego.html

Please note that although the route proposed by SDG&E may not be located in your area, the CPUC, based on its environmental review process and public input, will ultimately determine where the project should be located.
