Decision DRAFT DECISION OF ALJ MALCOLM (Mailed 6/8/2004)
BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Application of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (U 902 E) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the Miguel - Mission 230kV #2 Project. |
Application 02-07-022 (Filed July 12, 2002) |
OPINION CERTIFYING FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
AND GRANTING A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY FOR THE MIGUEL MISSION PROJECT
I. Summary
This order certifies the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) as the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the transmission line facilities that are the subjects of this application. We certify the EIR for use by responsible agencies in considering subsequent approvals for the project, or for portions thereof.
This order also grants a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E). The project we approve today modifies SDG&E's original proposal by requiring it to underground the existing 138 kilovolts (kV) and 69 kV circuits, 1.35 miles through the City of Santee and 3.5 miles through the Jamacha Valley, rather than construct these lines overhead as originally proposed. Specifically, the project we approve is the proposed project as modified by the Jamacha Valley 138 kV/69 kV Underground Alternative and the City of Santee 138 kV/69 kV Underground Alternative. This modified project is the preferred alternative recommended by the EIR in this application.
