Southern
California Edison’s Ivyglen Project
(Application
No. A. 07-01-031 filed January 16, 2007 and A. 07-04-028 filed April 30, 2007)
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.
