6. Proposed Facilities Description
The Application describes the facilities proposed and related costs. SCE included a project description and map in its request.9
The Proposed Project will meet the objectives of serving projected electrical demand requirements in the ENA in a cost-effective manner while maintaining electrical system reliability, enhancing operational flexibility and minimizing environmental impact. Other alternatives would require distribution lines greater than five miles in length, resulting in the inability to maintain reliable voltage levels, or overloading the existing circuits that serve the ENA resulting in power outages.
The Application includes a list of governmental agencies that have reviewed the Proposed Project.10 These agencies include the City of Chino regarding any adverse comments, and the California Native American Heritage Commission regarding the presence of Native American cultural resources.
