9. Conclusion

Based on the analysis of the Draft IS/MND and Final MND, and the mitigation measures identified therein and incorporated into the Proposed Project, the Commission finds that the Proposed Project will not have a significant impact on the environment.

We have reviewed the Applications and, after considering all of the above requirements, find them complete and in compliance with GO 131-D. After considering the need for and the benefits of competitive gas storage facilities in California pursuant to § 1001, the criteria set forth in § 1002, and the outcome of the IS/MND, we approve GRS' and PG&E's Applications for CPCNs as further defined and conditioned in this Decision. We also find that granting the PTC is in the public interest and PG&E's request for a PTC should be approved. Our order today adopts the Final MND (which incorporates the Draft IS/MND), subject to the conditions therein, and authorizes work to begin.
