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

As required by CEQA, a Notice of Preparation is being sent to interested agencies and members of the public. The purpose of the NOP is to inform recipients that the Lead Agency is beginning the preparation of an EIR and to solicit information that will be helpful in determining the scope of the document. This notice includes a description of the project that SDG&E proposes to construct, a list of proposed project alternatives, a summary of potential project impacts, the times and locations of public scoping meetings, and information on how to provide comments to the CPUC. The Notice of Preparation was filed on September 5, 2003.

Proponent's Environmental Assessment (PEA)

The PEA may be reviewed here. It should be noted that there have been a number of data requests and data responses for this project, which have provided additional clarification on project components as well as construction and operation activities. The latest information for this project will be provided in the project description of the draft environmental document that is currently being prepared for the Miguel-Mission 230 kV #2 Project. This draft environmental document will be released for public review.

Public Scoping Meetings

The CPUC will conduct two public Scoping Meetings in two locations in the project area, as shown in the table below. The purpose of these meetings is to present information about the proposed project and the CPUC's decision-making process, and to listen to the views of the public on the range of issues relevant to the preparation of the Draft EIR.
