SDG&E Update – 3 Days Left – Thursday Morning Call-in

SDG&E Update – 3 Days Left – Thursday Morning Call-in

This Thursday, September 24 beginning at 10:00 a.m. the CPUC Commissioners will again hold their public comment period before casting their vote on SDG&E’s proposed project.  Our goal is to get 100 people to call in sometime during the morning to make them aware of how much we want them to consider other options by conducting an EIR before approving this project OR immediately approve placing these lines underground.  Help us reach that goal, mark it on your calendar and make sure to tell at least one neighbor and share with your social network.   The call-in number is:

 

1-800-857-1917, passcode: 9899501 – once in the system you must press *1 to get into the queue to speak

(If you called in previously, you cannot speak again.  However, others from your household can speak and you can also help by finding a neighbor who will call in.)

We encourage everyone to call and voice their concerns and share any personal stories, but we are also looking for people who are available from 9:30 until 10:30 to 11 ish, to help us in presenting to the Commissioners an ‘organized’ presentation.  If you are available and interested in this chance to help, please email Robert Pack at packrobert@gmail.com for more information.

 

You can call in anytime starting at 9:50 all the way until the public comment period ends.  If you are busy around 10:00 a.m., try calling in whenever you are free, hopefully the call in period will last until at least 1 or 2 p.m. (or beyond).  The public comment period ends when there are no more callers waiting to speak in the queue, so the longer the comment period stays open the better.

 

Let’s not miss what will probably be our last opportunity to make our voices heard.

 

As always if you need more information and ideas for talking points visit our website at sanmarcospowerlines.com or email Robert Pack at packrobert@gmail.com.

SDG&E Power Line Committee Update

Dear Neighbors,

The judge overseeing SDG&E’s request to build new power lines through our community has issued his recommendation in favor of SDG&E.  We are now one step away from construction beginning.   The last step in this process requires the five CPUC Commissioners to vote on the judge’s recommendation.

We have until August 25 to provide our last round of comments on SDG&E’s request.

This time our input goes directly to the Commissioners and can be more personal.

We hope each of you will submit a comment.  You can enter your comment directly on the website or attach a pdf.  You may resubmit all or part of your comments from last year but if you do please address it directly to the CPUC Commissioners and change the date.  If you did not send a comment previously, this is your last opportunity.  Here is the link to submit comments:

https://apps.cpuc.ca.gov/apex/f?p=401:56:0::NO:RP,57,RIR:P5_PROCEEDING_SELECT:A1711010.

Once there, click the “Public Comments’ tab along the top and you will be at the Public Comment page.

Rather than forcing the Commissioners into a simple up or down vote to either approve or deny this project we believe requesting an EIR is still the best option.  Also mention personal stories regarding wildfires including canceled or higher fire insurance, impact on property value and aesthetics, or any other power line related concern.

Our website, sanmarcospowerlines.com is being updated to reflect our current situation so visit it for further information over the coming days.

This is our last chance to make our voices heard.

Sincerely,

SDG&E Power Line Committee
