Environmental Review

Welcome to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) web site for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of the proposed construction of Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) Atlantic-Del Mar Reinforcement Project. This site provides access to public documents and information relevant to the CEQA review.

Background

On October 17, 2001, the CPUC released a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study (MND/IS) for a 30-day review period. In response to numerous comments on potential visual impacts, the visual resources analysis has been revised and the MND/IS recommends mitigation requiring that the power line be installed underground from a location south of Sunset Boulevard to north of Midas Avenue. As a result, the analysis of all other environmental issue areas was reevaluated. Where potential new impacts were identified, those impacts are described and additional mitigation measures have been added.

Based on the information provided in the Revised MND/IS, it has been determined that the proposed project, as modified, would not have any significant effects on the environment.
