VII. Conclusion

Nothing in the Final EIR precludes the SGRP from going forward. In addition, since we have imposed a cap on SGRP costs, any increases in SGRP costs incurred to comply with the requirements of the Final EIR fall within the cap. Therefore, nothing in the Final EIR alters the cost-effectiveness of the SGRP. In addition, nothing in the Final EIR precludes the ratemaking treatment specified in D.05-02-052, because the ratemaking treatment of SGRP costs is beyond the scope of the Final EIR. For the reasons discussed in this decision, and in D.05-02-052, we approve the SGRP and adopt the preliminary findings shown in Ordering Paragraph 1 of D.05-02-052. Our approval is contingent upon PG&E's performance of the SGRP utilizing the environmentally superior alternative, and in compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR.20 PG&E's compliance will be overseen by the Commission's Executive Director.

20 The environmentally superior alternative includes offloading of the replacement steam generators at the Diablo Intake Cove, on-site storage of the original steam generators, and any of the Staging and Installation Phase alternatives evaluated in the Final EIR for which mitigation measures are specified.
