DECISION GRANTING SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY A PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT THE TIE-LINE 637 WOOD-TO-STEEL PROJECT 1. Summary

This decision grants San Diego Gas & Electric Company a permit to

construct the Tie-Line 637 Wood-To-Steel Project. This proceeding is closed.

2. Proposed Project San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) provides electric power to

three million people over a span of two counties and 25 cities. The Tie-Line (TL)

637 Wood-To-Steel Project (Proposed Project) will replace portions of an existing

69 kiloVolt (kV) electric facility within existing SDG&E rights-of-way and

substation property. The Proposed Project includes:

• replacing 156 existing wood poles along 14 miles of the TL 637 route with fire-safe steel poles, essentially “fire hardening” the structure;

• reconductering TL 637 with 636 aluminum conductor steel support/alumoweld conductor;

• minor distribution line work and undergrounding of existing distribution circuits to new pole locations; and

• a new fiber optic communication line constructed between the Creelman and Santa Ysabel Substations along TL 637 for communication between the substations, coupled with other minor modifications.

The Proposed Project will not include an increase in voltage or expansion

of service area. The Proposed Project will be located in existing utility corridors.

The purpose of the Proposed Project is to increase system reliability, specifically

to reduce the risk of damage by local conditions and fire events. The Proposed

Project will help ensure SDG&E’s service reliability during wildfire events and

improve fire safety conditions.

All construction will take place in unincorporated communities in Ramona

and Santa Ysabel, San Diego County, California and on lands owned by

San Diego County, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and the Cleveland

National Forest.

3. Procedural Background On March 13, 2013, SDG&E filed a Permit to Construct (PTC) application

with the Commission for the Proposed Project. The application included the

Proponent’s Environmental Assessment (PEA). On April 4, 2013, SDG&E filed a

Declaration of Mailing and Posting, demonstrating compliance with notice

requirements under General Order (GO) 131-D, Section XI.A. No protests were

filed.

On October 8, 2013, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to

adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) showing that the Proposed

Project, as mitigated, would not have any significant effects on the environment.

The draft MND/Initial Study (IS) was subject to a 30-day public review that

expired on November 7, 2013. The NOI gave notice of a public meeting to be

held on October 17, 2013 in Ramona, California, to take public comment on the

Proposed Project.

Nine comment letters were received,1 from four government agencies,

two community groups, and SDG&E. The comments included concerns about

minimizing habitat disturbance for the arroyo toad, concerns about analyzing the

Proposed Project separately from SDG&E’s Master Special Use Permit/Permit to

1 The Protect Our Communities Foundation submitted two comments, the second of which was submitted after the close of public review but was accepted as a late comment.

Construct Power Line Replacement Projects Application 12-10-009, and concerns

about the viability of data on raptors collected by David Bittner. The comments

are addressed in Attachment B of the Final MND/IS.

Energy Division issued the Final MND/IS, including changes that were

made based on the comments received, in January 2014. Although a few

revisions were made to clarify and revise certain mitigation measures described

in the draft MND/IS, the Final MND/IS does not identify any new significant

environmental impacts, and does not omit any existing mitigation measures,

from those identified in the draft MND/IS.

4. Scope of Issues In order to obtain a PTC to construct, modify, alter, or upgrade an electric

power line facility, the utility must comply with the provisions of GO 131-D. For

the purposes of GO 131-D, a power line facility is a line that operates between 50

and 200 kV. As lead agency for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

purposes, the Commission must review whether the Proposed Project complies

with CEQA. CEQA requires that the Commission prepare an IS and identify the

environmental impacts and any alternatives of the project to avoid or mitigate

environmental damage in order to analyze whether they will approve the project

or an alternative to the project. (Pub. Resources Code § 21100.)

The Commission will issue a MND if:

1. The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, or

2. The initial study identifies potentially significant effects, but:

a) Revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the applicant before a proposed

Page 6: ALJ/JMO/dc3 Date of Issuance 2/7/2014 BEFORE THE … · a.13-03-003 alj/jmo/dc3 table of contents title page - i - decision granting san diego gas & electric company a permit to construct

A.13-03-003 ALJ/JMO/dc3

- 5 -

MND and IS are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and

b) There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. (Cal. Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) § 15070.)

The draft MND is subject to thirty days of public review and comment.

CEQA requires that, prior to approving the project or a project alternative,

the lead agency must consider the MND along with any comments received

during the public review process, and that the lead agency adopt the MND only

if it finds on the basis of the whole record that there is no substantial evidence

that the proposed project will have a significant effect on the environment. The

MND must also reflect the lead agency’s independent judgment and analysis.

(CEQA Guidelines §§ 15074(a)-(b).)

If the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) adopts an

MND, CEQA requires that it also adopt a program for monitoring or reporting

on the changes or conditions required to mitigate or avoid significant

environmental effects. (CEQA Guidelines § 15074(d).)

The Commission must also ensure that the project complies with the

“low cost/no cost” plan to mitigate electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure

through low-cost and no-cost means. (See, Rulemaking 04-08-020.)

Accordingly, the issues to be determined in this proceeding are:

1. Is there substantial evidence that, with the incorporation of mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation Implementation and Monitoring Plan included in the Final MND/IS, all project-related environmental impacts can be reduced to less than significant levels?

Page 7: ALJ/JMO/dc3 Date of Issuance 2/7/2014 BEFORE THE … · a.13-03-003 alj/jmo/dc3 table of contents title page - i - decision granting san diego gas & electric company a permit to construct

A.13-03-003 ALJ/JMO/dc3

2. Was the Final MND/IS completed in compliance with CEQA, did the Commission review and consider the Final MND/IS prior to approving the project, and does the Final MND/IS reflect the Commission’s independent judgment and analysis?

3. Is the proposed project designed in compliance with the Commission’s policies governing the mitigation of EMF effects using low-cost and no-cost measures?

5. Environmental Impacts The Proposed Project will have no significant impacts or

less-than-significant impacts with respect to aesthetics, agriculture resources,

air quality/greenhouse gases, biological resources, cultural resources, geology

and soils, greenhouse gases, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and

water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and

housing, recreation, transportation and traffic, and utilities and services systems.

No significant unavoidable adverse impacts were found. There are no areas of

controversy or issues to be resolved.

The PEA includes Applicant Proposed Measures (APMs) for mitigation

related to construction and operation of the project. The MND’s Mitigation

Implementation and Monitoring Plan addresses biological resources, cultural

resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and

noise during construction and operation. Some of the required mitigation

measures are supplemental to the APMs and others supersede the APMs.

6. EMF The Commission has examined EMF impacts in several previous

proceedings.2 We found the scientific evidence presented in those proceedings

was uncertain as to the possible health effects of EMFs and we did not find it

appropriate to adopt any related numerical standards. Because there is no

agreement among scientists that exposure to EMF creates any potential health

risk, and because CEQA does not define or adopt any standards to address the

potential health risk impacts of possible exposure to EMFs, the Commission does

not consider magnetic fields in the context of CEQA and determination of

environmental impacts.

However, recognizing that public concern remains, we do require,

pursuant to GO 131-D, Section X.A, that all requests for a PTC include a

description of the measures taken or proposed by the utility to reduce the

potential for exposure to EMFs generated by the proposed project. We

developed an interim policy that requires utilities, among other things, to

identify the no-cost measures undertaken, and the low-cost measures

implemented, to reduce the potential EMF impacts. The benchmark established

for low-cost measures is four percent of the total budgeted project cost that

results in an EMF reduction of at least 15 % (as measured at the edge of the

utility right-of-way).

SDG&E’s application for the Proposed Project includes a Magnetic Field

Management Plan specific to TL 637. The Proposed Project involves replacing

existing wood poles with steel structures and reconductoring the line. The steel

poles will range in height from approximately 43 to 110 feet. The Magnetic Field

Management Plan for TL 637 complies with SDG&E’s EMF Design Guidelines

prepared in accordance with the Commission’s EMF decisions in D.93-11-013

and D.06-01-042.

7. Waiver of Comment Period This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief

requested. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 311(g)(2) of the Public Utilities Code

and Rule 14.6(c)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, the

otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment is waived.

8. Category and Need for Hearing This proceeding was preliminarily categorized as ratesetting, and it was

preliminarily determined that hearings were needed. (Resolution ALJ 176-3311.)

We confirm the Commission’s preliminary determination as to category.

Because no protests or responses were filed we conclude that hearings are not

needed.

9. Assignment of Proceeding Carla J. Peterman is the assigned Commissioner and Jeanne M. McKinney

is the assigned Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration6.0 Mitigation Implementation and Monitoring Plan

6.0 MITIGATION IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING PLANSan Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) proposes to construct and operate the Tie-Line (TL) 637 Wood-to-Steel Replacement Project (proposed project). An Initial Study was prepared to assess the proposed project’s potential environmental effects. The Initial Study was prepared based on information in the Proponent’s Environmental Assessment (PEA), project site visits, and supplemental research. The majority of the Proposed Project’s impacts would occur during project construction. Within SDG&E’s application, Applicant Proposed Measures (APMs) proposed by SDG&E as project design features, were proposed to reduce potentially significant adverse impacts related to project construction and operation.

The purpose of this Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) is to ensure effective implementation of each APM, as well as the mitigation measures identified by the Initial Study and imposed by the CPUC as part of project approval. Table 6-1, along with the full text of the mitigation measures themselves, will form the basis for implementation of the mitigation monitoring program. Table 6-1 has been updated in the Final IS/MND to clarify compliance documentation and consultation, the responsible party, and location of project component for implementation of each mitigation measure.

This Mitigation Monitoring Plan shown in Table 6-1 includes:

The APMs and mitigation measures that SDG&E must implement as part of the proposed project; The actions compliance documentation and consultation required to implement these measures; The monitoring requirements and effectiveness criteria; and The timing of implementation for each measure; andThe responsible party and location of project component for implementation of each measure.

The CPUC will use this MMP as the framework for a Mitigation Monitoring, Compliance, and Reporting Program (MMCRP). The MMCRP will be created by the CPUC to formalize protocols to be followed prior to and during construction by CPUC third-party environmental monitors (CPUC EMs) and SDG&E project staff. The MMCRP will include, but will not be limited to, the following topics:

Agency Jurisdiction Roles/Responsibilities Communication Compliance Verification and Reporting Project Changes

A CPUC-designated environmental monitor will carry out all construction field monitoring to ensure full implementation of all measures. In all instances where non-compliance occurs, the CPUC’s designated environmental monitor will issue a warning to the construction foreman and SDG&E’s project manager. Continued non-compliance shall be reported to the CPUC’s designated project manager. Any decisions to halt work due to non-compliance will be made by

the CPUC. The CPUC’s designated environmental monitor will keep a record of any incidents of non-compliance with mitigation measures, APM, or other conditions of project approval. Copies of these documents shall be supplied to SDG&E and the CPUC.

Final language of the MMCRP will be made in consultation with SDG&E. Drafted language for minor project changes and dispute resolution protocols are provided below.

6.1 MINOR PROJECT CHANGESThe Commission’s Energy Division may approve requests by SDG&E for minor project refinements which meet the fixed criteria described below and that may be necessary to complete the project due to final engineering or other reasons. Minor project refinements cannot create a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact, based on the thresholds used in the environmental document. Minor project refinements cannot require new conditions for approval, without which the proposed refinements would result in a new significant impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact. Minor project refinements cannot conflict with any mitigation measure or applicable law or policy or trigger an additional permit requirement. Specifically, minor project refinements must not change mitigation measures. Minor project refinements must be located within the geographic boundary of the study area of this Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. If approved, SDG&E The CPUC Project Manager along with the CPUC Monitoring Team will ensure that any process to consider minor project changes that may be necessary due to final engineering or deviations from the procedures identified under the monitoring program are consistent with CEQA requirements. No minor project changes will be approved by the CPUC if they are located outside of the geographic boundary of the project study area or create new or substantially more severe significant impacts. A minor project change is one that is strictly limited to those that do not trigger other permit requirements unless the appropriate agency has approved the change, that does not increase the severity of an impact or create a new impact without appropriate agency approval, and that clearly and strictly complies with the intent of the mitigation measure or applicable law or policy. SDG&E shall seek any other project refinements by a petition to modify the decision.

A proposed project change that has the potential for creating significant environmental effects will be evaluated to determine whether a petition to modify and/or supplemental California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review is required. Any proposed deviation from the approved project, adopted mitigation measures, APMs, and correction of such deviation, will be reported immediately to the CPUC Project Manager for his or her review. The CPUC Monitoring Team will review the minor project change request to ensure that all of the information required to process the minor project change is included, and then forward the request to the CPUC Project Manager for review and approval. The CPUC Project Manager may request a site visit from the CPUC EM, or may need additional information to process the minor project change. In some cases, project refinements may also require approval by jurisdictional agencies. In general, a minor project change request must include the information listed below.

Detailed description of the location, including maps, photos, and/or other supporting documents; How the minor project change request deviates from a project requirement; Biological resource surveys or verification that no biological resources would be significantly impacted;

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration6.0 Mitigation Implementation and Monitoring Plan

Cultural resource surveys or verification that no cultural resources would be significantly impacted; and Agency approval (if necessary).

6.2 DISPUTE RESOLUTIONIt is expected that the Mitigation Monitoring Plan will reduce or eliminate many potential disputes. However, even with the best preparation, disputes may occur.

Issues should be first addressed at the field level informally between the CPUC EMs and SDG&E’s EMs at the regular progress meetings. Questions may be raised to the SDG&E Project Environmental Manager or SDG&E Project Construction Manager. Should the issue persist or not be resolved at these levels, the following procedures will be used:

Step 1. Disputes unresolved in the field and complaints (including those from the public) should be directed to the CPUC Project Manager for resolution. The Project Manager will attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Should this informal process fail, the CPUC Project Manager will inform SDG&E prior to initiating Step 2. Step 2. Should this informal process in the field fail, the CPUC Project Manager may issue a formal letter requiring corrective actions to address the unresolved or persistent deviations from the Proposed Project or adopted MMP. Step 3. If a dispute or complaint regarding implementation or evaluation of the Program or mitigation measures cannot be resolved informally or through a letter request, any affected participant in the dispute or complaint may file a written “notice of dispute” with the CPUC’s Executive Director. This notice should be filed in order to resolve the dispute in a timely manner, with copies concurrently served on other affected participants. Within 10 days of receipt, the Executive Director or designee(s) shall meet or confer with the filer and other affected participants to resolve the dispute. The Executive Director shall issue an Executive Resolution describing his/her decision, and serve it to the filer and other affected participants. Step 4. If one or more of the affected parties is not satisfied with the decision as described in the Resolution, such party(ies) may appeal it to the Commission via a procedure to be specified by the Commission.

Parties may also seek review by the Commission through existing procedures specified in the CPUC Rules of Practice and Procedure for formal and expedited dispute resolution, although a good faith effort should first be made to use the foregoing procedure.
