Michael R. Peevey is the assigned Commissioner, and Regina M. DeAngelis is the assigned ALJ in these proceedings.
1. IAG has satisfied all the procedural requirements necessary to claim compensation in these proceedings.
2. IAG acted out of self-interest but primarily for a broader purpose. We award compensation because even though IAG acted out of self-interest by seeking to prevent the Lundy Project, which could have negatively impacted operations at its fish-rearing plant, its primary driving force was to reduce ratepayer costs.
3. IAG requested hourly rates and direct expenses, as adjusted herein, which are reasonable and commensurate with the work performed.
4. The total reasonable compensation is $63,619.46.
5. The Appendix to this decision summarizes today's award.
2. IAG has fulfilled the requirements of §§ 1801-1812, which govern awards of intervenor compensation, and is entitled to intervenor compensation for its claimed expenses, as adjusted herein, incurred in making a substantial contribution to D.09-03-025.
3. IAG should be awarded $63,619.46 for its substantial contribution to
D.09-03-025.
4. This order should be effective today so that IAG may be compensated without further delay.
5. Application 07-11-011 and Investigation 08-01-026 are closed.
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Inland Aquaculture Group, L.L.C. is awarded $63,619.46 as compensation for its substantial contributions to Decision 09-03-025.
2. Within 30 days of the effective date of this decision, Southern California Edison Company shall pay Inland Aquaculture Group, L.L.C. the total award. Payment of the award shall include interest at the rate earned on prime,
three-month commercial paper as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, beginning July 29, 2009, the 75th day after the filing date of Inland Aquaculture Group, L.L.C.'s request for compensation, and continuing until full payment is made.
3. Application 07-11-011 and Investigation 08-01-026 are closed.
This order is effective today.
