11. Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of the ALJ Thomas in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311 of the Public Utilities Code and comments were allowed under Rule 14.3 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Don and Judy Mackintosh filed comments on the proposed decision. While they wish the EIR had found a different route to be environmentally superior, they do not object to the conclusions of the proposed decision. No other party filed comments. Thus, we make no changes to the proposed decision.
