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.
