SDG&E Proposed Miguel-Mission 230 kV #2 Project

(Application A.02-07-022, filed July 12, 2002)
 

Welcome to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) website for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of the proposed construction of San Diego Gas & Electric's (SDG&E) Miguel-Mission 230 kV #2 Project. An application for this project was submitted to the CPUC on July 12, 2002 (Application A.02-07-022). This site provides access to public documents and information relevant to the CEQA review.

Background

SDG&E proposes construction of a new single-circuit 230 kV transmission circuit to address current and future overloads on existing 138 kV and 69 kV transmission lines. The proposed new and relocated transmission circuits for the project would be installed in the existing 35-mile SDG&E right of way between Miguel Substation and Mission Substation. The proposed project consists of the following three principal components: (1) installing a new 230 kV transmission circuit between Miguel and Mission Substations, (2) relocating the existing 69 kV/138 kV circuits on new pole structures between Miguel Substation and Fanita Junction, and (3) modifying Miguel and Mission Substations. The proposed project is located entirely within San Diego County and passes through the Cities of San Diego and Santee, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and unincorporated areas in the eastern portion of the county.

Notice of Preparation and Project Scoping

The CPUC on September 5, 2003, issued a Notice of Preparation for an EIR on the Miguel-Mission 230 kV #2 Project. In order to gather information on public and agency concerns about the project as proposed and recommendations about alternatives, two public scoping meetings were held. The Scoping Report was issued in December 2003. It summarizes all comments received and presents copies of all comment letters.
