5. Mitigation Measures F-5 and F-7

SCE has requested that these mitigation measures be deleted, because they are unnecessary in connection with the route being approved in this decision. We note that Mitigation Measure F-7 was not included in the list of Mitigation Measures set forth in Attachment A to the proposed decision. However, we agree with SCE's request with respect to Mitigation Measure F-5 and will delete it. This measure would be necessary if we were approving SCE's original proposed route along the top of Del Sur Ridge. However, the mid-slope alternative that we are approving in this decision eliminates the need for this mitigation measure.
