Introduction

Welcome to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) website for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of proposed construction of SCE's Ivyglen Project. The CPUC determined that the Valley-Ivyglen 115 kV Subtransmission Line Project (Application No. A.07-01-031, filed January 16, 2007) and the Fogarty 115 kV Substation Project (Application No. A.07-04-028, filed April 30, 2007) are consolidated into a single proceeding for CEQA analysis. Hereafter, the combined, single project will be referred to as the Ivyglen Project. Under the direction of the CPUC as the lead agency, a draft and final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared for the proposed project to comply with CEQA.

Background

SCE has filed an application with the CPUC to construct the Ivyglen Project. The CPUC is the CEQA lead agency.

SCE proposes to construct, operate, and maintain a new 115 kV subtransmission line, approximately 25 miles long, to connect the existing SCE Valley (in Riverside County near Perris, CA) and Ivyglen Substations (in Riverside County near Lake Elsinore, California), and to construct a new 115/12 kV Fogarty Substation (In Riverside County near Lake Elsinore, California) to provide additional electrical services to the City of Lake Elsinore area (Proposed Project). The Proposed Project also includes constructing improvements at the Valley and Ivyglen Substations to accommodate the proposed subtransmission line, tie-ins between the new Fogarty Substation and existing subtransmission and telecommunications lines, installation of a new telecommunications line between Valley and Ivyglen Substations, transfer of distribution facilities, and stockpiling and/or disposal of old electrical distribution line poles.
