Back To Main Page

 

Welcome to the Mitigation Monitoring Compliance and Reporting Program page for the Crown Castle NG West (Crown Castle) – San Mateo County Project located along Highway 1 in San Mateo County, California.

Pursuant to the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) approval of the Project, Crown Castle is required to implement the Applicant Proposed Measures (APMs) identified in the Final Initial Study and Negative Declaration for the Crown Castle San Mateo County Project and the Mitigation Monitoring, Reporting, and Compliance Program (MMRCP).

The CPUC, as the CEQA lead agency, is responsible for ensuring that the APMs, as well as plans reviewed and approved by other agencies, are implemented throughout the construction phase of the Project. Below are project documents related to mitigation monitoring that are available for public review.

Minor Project Refinement Requests

The Commission decision approving the permit to construct authorizes Energy Division staff to approve requests by Crown Castle for minor project refinements. The decision states that the Energy Division may approve requests by Crown Castle for minor project refinements that may be necessary due to final engineering of the San Mateo County Project so long as such minor project refinements are located within the geographic boundary of the study area of the IS/ND and do not, without mitigation, result in a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact based on the criteria used in the environmental document; conflict with any mitigation measure or applicable law or policy; or trigger an additional permit requirement. Crown Castle shall seek any other project refinements by a petition to modify this decision.

Crown Castle's Minor Project Refinement Requests will be made available below when submitted to the CPUC.
