·1· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· My first question, is a copy

·2· of this presentation available.

·3· · · · · ·ROBERT:· So this will be made available on our

·4· project website.· We have two slides towards the end

·5· with that address.· We probably have some handouts with

·6· the project URL.

·7· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Are the documents referenced

·8· on this sheet available for our review?

·9· · · · · ·ROBERT:· Yes.· So the graph environmental

10· report is already posted, and when the final is

11· prepared, it will also be posted so you can download it

12· in an electronic format.· The draft that you want to

13· comment on within this comment period by July 20th is

14· already in there.

15· · · · · ·(Discussion off the record.)

16· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Quick question, you said there

17· are two components.· I didn't catch what the first one

18· was; a data component, before that you said something

19· else?

20· · · · · ·MATT:· I believe I was mentioning the source

21· lines?

22· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Yes.

23· · · · · ·MATT:· Two sets of source lines.· Two sets of

24· source lines, that's two circuits on one set of pole.

25· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Two different types of source

·2· · · · · ·MATT:· Coming from different directions.

·3· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· I got it now.

·4· · · · · ·(Discussion off the record.)

·5· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Are these the total

·6· environmental criteria that you evaluated in your

·7· studies?· Are there any others?

·8· · · · · ·MATT:· Right, these 18 right here, correct.

·9· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Are they here in the

10· presentation or are they on the website somewhere?

11· · · · · ·MIKE:· They are on the website in the document.

12· There is an 18 CEQA issue areas.

13· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· CEQA?

14· · · · · ·MIKE:· So CEQA is California Environmental

15· Quality Act Law has an appendix guidelines which list 18

16· areas that need to be considered when analyzing

17· environmental impacts.· Those are the 18 areas that

18· we're giving you.

19· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· And those will be referenced

20· in the document?

21· · · · · ·MATT:· Yes.

22· · · · · ·ROBERT:· Do you want to see that slide again to

23· see the area?

24· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· No, I'm okay.

·1· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH: Just clarification, I don't

·2· understand all of your terminology, is there a

·3· difference between the word "underground" and

·4· "subtransmission" in this context?

·5· · · · · ·MATT:· Subtransmission could be overhead or

·6· underground -- either on poles or underground.

·7· · · · · ·MIKE:· The term subtransmission relates to the

·8· voltage.· Edison defines transmission as, I think, 230

·9· kilovolts and higher.· Subtransmission is between about

10· 50 and 230.· When we say "subtransmission," we are just

11· talking about 66 kilovolt transmission line.

12· · · · · ·MATT:· And distribution is the lower 12 kV.

13· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· When you say

14· "subtransmission," you are not specifying whether it is

15· above ground or underground at all?· When you say

16· "underground," you're specifying it's underground?

17· · · · · ·MIKE:· Correct.· We will either say "overhead"

18· and "underground" to make that distinction.


20· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Quick question, the

21· availability, is that going to be mailed to all of the

22· affected residents?

23· · · · · ·MATT:· It's mailed within 2- or 300 feet of the

24· line -- the proposed line.

25· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Is there a possibility to get

·1· a replacement.· I don't recall I've received it.

·2· · · · · ·MIKE:· We have copies right in the back.

·3· · · · · ·(Discussion off the record.)

·4· · · · · ·RUSS TITSWARTH:· Just to clarify, that URL that

·5· I can't read, is that on a piece of paper?

·6· · · · · ·MATT:· It is.

·7· · · · · ·Okay. We are ready to receive your comments,

·8· and there is just a few guidelines that are pretty easy

·9· to adhere.· I don't think we are going to have any --

10· · · · · ·MIKE:· Can I say something really quick?· There

11· were speaker cards available when you came in.· If you

12· like to speak, all we ask is that you give us those

13· speaker cards with your names on them.

14· · · · · ·We have a court reporter here to record the

15· comments so that we can translate them into written

16· comments for the conclusion in the final EIR.

17· · · · · ·I know there was -- we did consider a lot of

18· alternatives for this project.· I totally understand

19· that it's not really easy to get at a snapshot, so I

20· encourage you to look at the boards and ask questions

21· after.

22· · · · · ·This phase of the meeting right now.· We really

23· want to hear from you.· We want to hear what your

24· concerns are, what your interests are related to the

25· project so that we can factor that into the preparation

·1· of the final EIR.· So that information is available to

·2· the commission and the ALJ when they are making a

·3· proposed decision and voting on the decision.

·4· · · · · ·So if anybody needs a speaker card, if you want

·5· to hold your hand up so we can pass them out; or if you

·6· have one filled out, we will collect them.· We have time

·7· today because we have the room until 8:00 o'clock.· So

·8· if you would like to come up, we have the cards.

·9· · · · · ·What I will do is, I will read off the name of

10· the speaker, and I will let you know who the next person

11· is, and Keisha is here to record your comments.

12· · · · · ·So the first card we have here is

13· and then is the next one.· If you want to

14· come up, there is a microphone here for you to use.

15· · · · · · I understand progress.· Edison

16· provides the air conditioning, lighting and all of that.

17· I do understand progress.· I think the simple solution,

18· which is very improbable, is just stop building homes,

19· but that's improbable.· That's just not going to happen.

20· · · · · ·I think the battery idea is a very short term

21· solution because the more and more houses are coming in

22· so they're getting more and more power and batteries

23· only provide so much power source.

24· · · · · ·What I am upset about is how the homes that are

·1· lines -- the poles are in my background, the lines are

·2· going right over my property.· I am real upset on how I

·3· got notified.· I got an occupant letter.· If it's from

·4· California, Edison, whatever.· I don't know about the

·5· rest of you but I throw those in the trash because it's

·6· solicitation as far as I am concerned.

·7· · · · · ·I think the proper way to handle this, as far

·8· as notification, would have been certified letters to

·9· the property owners.· Because on my street, several of

10· the homes are rentals.· So now, the renter gets it, they

11· just think it's garbage, throw it in the trash.· The

12· home owner might be living in Idaho, and they don't know

13· anything about their property value being impacted this,

14· so I think that was a big mistake.

15· · · · · ·As far as the environmental impact reports go,

16· sure, they are not going to kill off some sort of

17· species; I get all of that.· But there was no property

18· value impact report done.· There was no health impact

19· report done that was provided to us home owners, and

20· there was no aesthetic report done.· Those are very

21· important things to home owners like myself.

22· · · · · ·Right now, certain days, depending on weather

23· or how much power are going through these lines, you are

24· going to hear them humming.· I don't know -- it sounds

25· to me that they are going to be increasing at least a

·2· house.· When I bought this house in 2000, I dealt with

·3· the lines that were there.· I accepted that.

·4· · · · · ·But now there is more lines in the 18 years I

·5· have been there.· There are more lines that have been

·6· added, more -- I don't know -- transformers or whatever

·7· that have been added.· So now, I am concerned about my

22· of are going to benefit from this project.· In fact, we

23· are going to get even worse off as far as the aesthetics

·2· not us, so why not wherever there is a home that is

·3· actually impacted by this project, whether it's poles in

·4· their backyard or lines going over their property, I

·5· believe those areas should be put underground.· I am

13· that's the only fair thing you guys can do.· Somebody at

14· the other end wants this power; add it into the project.

20· · · · · ·I would be very happy with the compromise of

21· taking the existing lines, put them underground with the

22· new lines, take the poles out, and it will help us

·2· on the right-away easement.· I am concerned about health

·3· issues and the noise impact that we already have; that's

·4· going to increase, and did I mention my property value.

·5· If somebody comes to look at my house with my backyard,

·6· my views of the Santa Ana Canyon and the sunsets in

·7· Norco, those lines, even though they are higher and they

·8· say, I believe -- is it only six lines?

·9· · · · · ·MIKE:· Yeah, in some of the areas that it's

10· going from.· A single circuit is kind of a standard pole

11· with three lines on it.· Generally, if it's a single

12· circuit, there is two lines on one side and one on the

13· other.· When they take those down and put up the double

14· circuit, it ends up with kind of three lines of each

15· side, so a total of six lines.

16· · · · · · So this project, they tell us

17· that it's good until 2026.· That's no guarantee that

·2· and the Santa Ana River.· I am not against that part.

·3· And nobody has told us about pole locations or how many

·4· poles will be added or replaced; and the biggest thing,

·5· I think is our property values all along Corona and

·6· Norco will be severely affected.· Thank you.

·8· · · · · · Seems that all of us that are

10· addressed -- the audience that was here two years ago --

11· the same issues.

12· · · · · ·More importantly, I had to addressed the fact

13· that we in Corona -- I am the Mayor of Corona.· We asked

14· that we participate.· There is so much overhead in

15· industrial areas and then the -- no, the underground is

16· in the industrial areas, and the overhead is communities

17· where the houses are.· And there is a way where we could

18· work together to make it where it's more efficient and

19· that our residents aren't as affected as the businesses,

20· which is more aesthetically acceptable.

21· · · · · ·And we didn't -- we went through some of the

22· areas that have lines that would be going through

23· people's yard, like your background.· We went to the

25· remembers back a couple years ago.· We were fighting

·1· just to communicate, just talk to us, and I never once

·2· received a phone call on that issue.· I've had some on

·3· many other things, but on that particular issue.· It's a

·4· discussion.· I think it's really important that they

·5· involve the local cities, that we can help work through

·6· some of these so we wouldn't have gotten to this point.

·7· · · · · ·I'm just really frustrated, and I really

·8· believe that there is a better way of the underground

·9· and overhead.· It's a cost factor and I understand that,

10· but we can be more efficient and work together so that

11· we have the areas that should be underground addressed,

12· as well as those that could be overhead could be more

13· acceptable.· That's it.

15· · · · · ·Robert, did you have anything that you wanted

16· to say in closing?

17· · · · · ·First, let me ask is there anybody else that

18· would like to make a comment?· Like I said, we really do

19· encourage you to submit those written comments.· You

20· don't have to use that form.· You can write a letter,

21· send an e-mail.· It all goes into the same record and

22· will get factored into the final EIR.

·3· · · · · · And those are given to the final

·4· commissioners to be read?

·5· · · · · ·MIKE:· Yes, it will all be part of that final

·6· EIR document.

·7· · · · · · And then when might they have the

·8· report complete on the results on this?

·9· · · · · ·MIKE:· What's the schedule?

10· · · · · ·MATT:· It's fall of this year.

11· · · · · ·ROBERT:· That's for the environmental document.

12· A proceeding will take place after that, so probably,

13· well into next year before we have a determination on

14· this project.

15· · · · · So maybe the project wouldn't

16· start until '19 or '20?

17· · · · · ·MIKE:· I can't remember what the construction's

19· · · · · ·ROBERT:· It is hard to predict how long the

21· · · · · · Your report shows it is only good

22· until 2026.· That's only three or four years and then

23· everything is going to be outdated at that time.

·3· what they use to decide which projects they need to

10· periods that they use to estimate when they might have

11· to build the project.
