Final EIR/EIS F-1 December 2006

F. Public Participation and Notification Public involvement provides an opportunity to involve concerned citizens, agencies, organizations, and other

stakeholders in the environmental review process. A public involvement plan was developed for the proposed

Project at the start of the environmental review process that identified and summarized outreach methods that

would be utilized, including the public notification process and types of informational materials. The public

participation and notification processes for the proposed Project EIR/EIS focus on two areas of CEQA and

NEPA: (1) Public Scoping and (2) Draft EIR public review. This section presents the basic legal and procedural

requirements for public involvement in a joint CEQA/NEPA environmental review process, which is also

summarized in Table F-1 below, and then describes the specific public outreach methods that were used for this

Project EIR/EIS in order to comply with these basic requirements.

F.1 Notices of Preparation and Intent

The CPUC issued a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed Project on June 24, 2005. Consistent with

CEQA (State Guidelines § 15082), the NOP summarized the proposed Project, stated the CPUC’s intention to

prepare a joint EIR/EIS, and requested comments from interested parties. The NOP was filed with the State

Clearinghouse on June 28, 2005 (SCH# 2005061161), which began a 30-day comment period. The review

period for the NOP ended on July 29, 2005. Seventy-seven (77) copies of the NOP were distributed to federal,

State, regional, and local agencies, and elected officials. Seven additional copies of the NOP were delivered to

the local repository sites.

The Forest Service issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) for the proposed Project, which was published in the

Federal Register on June 28, 2005. Consistent with NEPA (40 CFR 1501.7), the NOI serves as the official

legal notice that a federal agency is commencing preparation of an EIS. The Federal Register serves as the

United States Government’s official noticing and reporting publication.

The NOP and NOI are found in Appendix 2 of this EIR/EIS.

F.12 Scoping Process

Scoping Requirements

Scoping, or the process of involving the public and agencies in determining the scope and content of an EIR or

EIS, is encouraged and utilized under both CEQA and NEPA. However, the scoping process is more formal

under NEPA, whereas under CEQA it is more optional and differs according to the lead agency. Scoping is an

effective way to solicit and address the environmental concerns of the public, affected agencies, and other

interested parties. In addition to the purpose of informing the public about the proposed Project, the scoping

process is also meant to achieve the following: (1) identify potentially significant environmental impacts for

consideration in the EIR/EIS; (2) identify possible mitigation measures for consideration in the EIR/EIS; (3)

identify alternatives to the proposed Project for evaluation in the EIR/EIS; and (4) compile a notification list of

public agencies and individuals interested in future Project meetings and notices. Scoping can take many

different forms, including public and agency consultation, scoping meetings, scoping report, and notices such as

the NOP and NOI. The following sections below described some of these scoping methods in more detail.

Under CEQA, the State lead agency is authorized and encouraged to consult with interested agencies,

organizations, or members of the public either before or during preparation of an EIR, but it is not a required

process [CEQA Guidelines §15083]. However, when the State lead agency is preparing a joint EIR/EIS with a

Antelope-Pardee 500-kV Transmission Project F. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NOTIFICATION

Final EIR/EIS F-5 December 2006

federal agency, scoping would be required in order to meet the federal NEPA requirements discussed below. CEQA also states that in addition to complying with other noticing requirements, the lead agency should, when

possible, make environmental information available on the internet [CEQA Guidelines §15201].

NEPA regulations state that lead agencies should conduct “an early and open process” to determine the scope

and significance of issues to be addressed in an EIS [40 CFR 1501.7]. Additionally, the federal lead agency is

required to make “diligent efforts to involve the public” in the NEPA process [40 CFR 1506.6(a)]. NEPA

provides further guidance in the scoping process, including stating that lead agencies should engage affected

federal, State, and local agencies, as well as Native American tribes, and other interested persons [40 CFR

1501.7(a)(1)], and solicit appropriate information from the public [40 CFR 1506.6(d)]. In order to facilitate

public participation, NEPA also requires agencies to make project information and documents available to the

public [40 CFR 1506.6(f)], and explain where interested parties can obtain this information [40 CFR

1506.6(e)].

The Forest Service states that an objective of meeting these NEPA requirements is to involve interested and

affected agencies, State and local governments, organizations, and individuals in planning and decisionmaking

[FSM 1950.2]. The Forest Service achieves this objective through providing early notice of upcoming proposals

to interested and affected persons, and providing timely notice to interested and affected persons, Federal

agencies, State and local governments, and organizations of the availability of environmental and accompanying

decision documents [FSM 1950.3]. A responsible official of the Forest Service is required to promptly mail

notice about the proposed action to any individual or organization who has requested it and to those that have

participated in project planning, and additionally, must publish a legal notice for the opportunity to comment on

the proposed action in the newspaper of record [36 CFR 215.5].

Proposed Project EIR/EIS - Scoping

The scoping process for the Antelope-Pardee 500-kV Transmission Line Project EIR/EIS consisted of four main

elements, which are listed below and described in more detail above and in the following sections.

1) Publish a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR and a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS,

which marked the beginning of the 30-day scoping period (Section F.1), announced public scoping

meetings, and solicited comments from affected public agencies and members of the public.

2) Conduct public scoping meetings and meetings with agencies.

3) Summarize scoping comments in a Scoping Report.

4) Establish an Internet web site, electronic mail address, a telephone hotline, and local EIR/EIS

Information Repositories.

As is encouraged by CEQA and NEPA, the scoping process was intended and developed to inform the public

and allow interested parties to express their concerns regarding the proposed Project, thereby ensuring that

relevant opinions and comments were considered in the environmental analysis for the EIR/EIS. Scoping is an

effective way to solicit and address the environmental concerns of the public, affected agencies, and other

interested parties. Members of the public, relevant federal, State, regional and local agencies, interests groups,

community organizations, and other interested parties may were given the opportunity to participate in the

scoping process through attendance at scoping meetings and by providing comments or recommendations

regarding issues to be investigated in the EIR/EIS.

Antelope-Pardee 500-kV Transmission Project F. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NOTIFICATION

December 2006 F-6 Final EIR/EIS

In addition to the purpose of informing the public about the proposed Project, the scoping process is also meant

to achieve the following: (1) identify potentially significant environmental impacts for consideration in the

EIR/EIS; (2) identify possible mitigation measures for consideration in the EIR/EIS; (3) identify alternatives to

the proposed Project for evaluation in the EIR/EIS; and (4) compile a mailing list of public agencies and

individuals interested in future Project meetings and notices.

F.1.1 Notices of Preparation and Intent

NOP/NOI Requirements

As part of the scoping process, both State and federal lead agencies are required to prepare and distribute a

notice informing interested parties that the lead agency will be preparing an EIR or EIS, respectively. CEQA

requires State lead agencies to prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP), while NEPA similarly requires federal

lead agencies to prepare a Notice of Intent (NOI). The purpose of an NOP and NOI is to notify interested

parties of the project or action and to solicit their participation in determining the scope of the EIR or EIS.

CEQA Guidelines state that immediately after deciding that an EIR is necessary, the State lead agency must

prepare and send the NOP to the State Clearinghouse (Office of Planning and Research), responsible1 and

trustee2 agencies, and involved federal agencies [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15082(a)]. The California Public

Resources Code further indicates that those requesting a notice in writing should also receive copies of the NOP

[PRC §21092.2]. As stated below in California Public Resources Code §21092.2, the NOP can be sent to any

interested party who requests it and the party can be charged an appropriate fee.

PRC §21092.2 states, “The notices required…shall be mailed to every person who has filed a written request for

notices with either the clerk of the governing body or, if there is no governing body, the director of the

agency.…The request may also be filed with any other person designated by the governing body or director to

receive these requests.…The public agency may charge a fee, except to other public agencies, that is reasonably

related to the costs of providing this service.”

In addition to the CEQA requirements regarding NOP distribution described above, the CPUC also requires

that all environmental documents, including the NOP, be generally available to members of the public [CPUC

Rule 17.1(f)(4)], who may be charged for the cost of reproduction and handling.

CEQA also regulates the content of a NOP by stating that the NOP must include sufficient information that

describes the project, including project location, and the project’s potential environmental effects [CEQA

Guidelines, CCR §15082(a)(1)]. The review period during which interested parties may submit comments on

the NOP is 30 days from when the State Clearinghouse and responsible and trustee agencies receive it [CEQA

Guidelines, CCR §15082(b)].

Similar to the CEQA and CPUC requirements presented above, NEPA states that a federal lead agency must

prepare and publish a NOI in the Federal Register “as soon as practicable” after its decision to prepare an

environmental impact statement [40 CFR 1501.7]. Similar to CEQA for an NOP, NEPA also dictates the

contents of a NOI when it states that a NOI must describe the proposed action and possible alternatives;

describe the proposed scoping process, including any scoping meetings that may be held; and provide the name

and address for a person at the lead agency that can answer questions related to the EIS [40 CFR 1508.22].

1 A responsible agency is a public agency, other than the lead agency (CPUC or Forest Service) which has

responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. 2 A trustee agency is a state agency that has jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by a project, that are

held in trust for the people of the State of California.

Final EIR/EIS F-7 December 2006

Proposed Project EIR/EIS – NOP/NOI

Based upon the above State and federal requirements, a NOP and NOI were prepared and distributed for the

proposed Project. The details of the Project’s NOP and NOI are described below.

The CPUC issued a NOP for the proposed Project on June 24, 2005. Consistent with CEQA (State CEQA

Guidelines §15082), the NOP summarized the proposed Project, stated the CPUC’s intention to prepare a joint

EIR/EIS, and requested comments from interested parties. The NOP additionally described the EIR/EIS process

and the proposed scope of the EIR/EIS; listed possible alternatives; identified public repository sites and other

information sources (Project website, phone/fax hotline, and e-mail address) where Project information and

documents were posted; and described the proposed Project’s scoping process and details of the scoping

meetings.

The NOP was mailed via certified mail to federal, State, and local agencies. The NOP was filed with the State

Clearinghouse on June 28, 2005 (SCH# 2005061161), which began a 30-day comment period. The review

period for the NOP ended on July 29, 2005. Seventy-seven (77) copies of the NOP were distributed to federal,

State, regional, and local agencies, Native American tribal representatives, and elected officials. The State

agencies that received the NOP included: the Department of Transportation, Department of Fish and Game,

Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Air Resources Board, and Office of Historic Preservation,

and the federal agencies that received the NOP included: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps

of Engineers, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the

Bureau of Land Management. Seven additional copies of the NOP were delivered to the local repository sites.

A public scoping meeting notice, which contained information similar to that required by CEQA for the NOP,

was mailed to over 2,500 individuals and agencies, and published in five newspapers (see Section F.2.1).

The Forest Service issued a NOI for the proposed Project, which was published in the Federal Register on June

28, 2005 (Vol. 70, No. 123, p. 37080). Consistent with NEPA (40 CFR 1501.7), Consistent with NEPA (40

CFR 1508.22), the NOI included a description of the proposed action and five possible alternatives, a

description of the scoping process and two scoping meetings, and identification of the official at the Forest

Service who could answer Project-related questions. In addition to these items required by NEPA, the NOI also

included the following, which are required by the Forest Service: name and address of the responsible official,

description of the nature and scope of the proposed action and the decision to be made, preliminary issues,

identification of permits or licenses required for the proposed action, the lead and cooperating agencies,

estimated dates for filing of the Draft and Final EIR/EIS, reminder that the reviewer is obligated to comment

during the review period, and a standard paragraph inserted into NOIs prepared by the Forest Service [FSH

1909.15(21.1)].

Based upon guidance in NEPA [40 CFR 1506.2], which encourages cooperation between federal and State lead

agencies, and in the Forest Service Handbook (FSH 1909.15), only the NOP and a public scoping meeting

notice were distributed to 77 federal, State, regional, and local agencies, Native American tribal representatives,

and elected officials, to over 2,500 individuals, and published in newspapers, as described above.

The NOP and NOI are found in Appendix 2 of this EIR/EIS.

F.1.22.1 Scoping Meetings

Scoping Meeting Requirements

Generally, formal scoping meetings are optional under CEQA unless requested by the lead agency, responsible

or trustee agencies, the State Clearinghouse, or the project applicant [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15082(c)].

However, the State lead agency is required to conduct at least one scoping meeting if the project has been

determined to be of statewide, regional, or areawide significance, as defined by CEQA Guidelines §15206

[CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15082(c)(1)]. Further, as stated above in Section F.2, CEQA encourages

consultation with any organization or person believed to be interested in the project, but it is not required

[CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15083].

As stated below, CEQA [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15082(c)] states that notices of the scoping meeting must be

sent to the county or cities where the proposed project would occur, responsible agencies, other public agencies

with jurisdiction over the project, and any organization or member of the public that submitted a written request

for the notice.

“(1) For projects of statewide, regional or areawide significance pursuant to Section 15206, the lead agency

shall conduct at least one scoping meeting. The lead agency shall provide notice of the scoping meeting to all

of the following: (A) any county or city that borders on a county or city within which the project is located,

unless otherwise designated annually by agreement between the lead agency and the county or city; (B) any

responsible agency; (C) any public agency that has jurisdiction by law with respect to the project; (D) any

organization or individual who has filed a written request for the notice.”

NEPA states that a federal lead agency may hold a scoping meeting whenever it deems it appropriate pursuant

to 40 CFR 1501.7(b)(4), which states:

“As part of the scoping process the lead agency may: Hold an early scoping meeting or meetings which

may be integrated with any other early planning meeting the agency has. Such a scoping meeting will often

be appropriate when the impacts of a particular action are confined to specific sites.”

The required noticing for public hearings or public meetings for actions of local concern is similar to that

described for the NOI under Section F.1.

Proposed Project EIR/EIS – Scoping Meetings

Public scoping meeting notices were prepared that provided a brief description of the Project including a map,

information on the meeting locations, information on where to send comments, contact information, and the

duration of the public comment period. The notices were mailed to over 2,500 individuals in the proposed

Project area. In addition, the date and location of the public scoping meetings were posted on the Project

website, and also advertised in five local newspapers. The advertisements provided a brief synopsis of the

Project and encouraged attendance at the meetings to share comments on the Project. The meeting

advertisements were placed in the following newspapers:

• Antelope Valley Press on June 26, 2005

• Daily News on June 26, 2005

• Los Angeles Times, Valley Edition on June 26, 2005

• The Signal on June 26, 2005

• Agua Dulce/Acton Country Journal on July 9, 2005

As part of the public scoping process of the proposed Project, two public scoping meetings were held to present

information to the public on the Project and to take public comments on the scope and content of this EIR/EIS,

as well as alternatives and mitigation measures to be considered. The following public scoping meetings were

held prior to selection of alternatives to be analyzed in this EIR/EIS:

• June 29, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. at the Desert Inn Hotel, Lancaster, California

• July 14, 2005, at 6:30 p.m. at the City of Santa Clarita Activities Center, Santa Clarita, California

The basic format of the meeting included a presentation of the proposed Project, including background, project

description, location using maps, and potential environmental impacts. After the presentation, the meeting

attendees were allowed to present verbal comments or submit prepared written comments.

F.1.32.2 Scoping Report Summary

Scoping Report Requirements

There are no CEQA or State requirements regarding the preparation of a scoping report. However, NEPA

states that the federal lead agency may prepare a scoping report in order to document and publicize the

comments, opinions, and issues that were made during the scoping process, but it is not required [Council on

Environmental Quality Memorandum: Scoping Guidance, April 30, 1981, II(b)(6)]. The Scoping Guidance,

April 30, 1981, II(b)(6) states:

“Several agencies have made a practice of sending out a post-scoping document to make public the

decisions that have been made on what issues to cover in the EIS. This is not a requirement, but in certain

controversial cases it can be worthwhile. Especially when scoping has been conducted by written

comments, and there has been no face-to-face contact, a post-scoping document is the only assurance to the

participants that they were heard and understood until the draft EIS comes out.”

Proposed Project EIR/EIS – Scoping Report

In August 2005, a comprehensive Scoping Report was issued, summarizing issues and concerns received from

the public and various agencies during the scoping period. A total of 13 written comments were submitted and

nine individuals presented verbal comments during the public scoping meetings. In addition, 21 phone messages

were received on the Project hotline (661-215-5152).

The specific issues raised during the public scoping process are summarized below according to the following

major themes:

• Human Environment Issues and Concerns

• Physical Environment Issues and Concerns

• Alternatives

Human Environmental Issues and Concerns

The majority of public comments focused on the potential effect of the Project on the human environment, most

often expressing concerns with health risks arising from changes in electric and magnetic fields (EMF), visual

and scenic impacts to private property, and the potential for noise and environmental justice impacts.

• EMF-Related Health and Safety Issues. The potential impacts of EMFs from the proposed Project and proximity

of the Project to residences were some of the key concerns. Some members of the public would like to see SCE

assume responsibility for the potential EMF impacts that may be caused from the proposed Project. Other

comments stated that EMFs would significantly increase as a result of the Project.

• Visual and Aesthetic Impacts. Concerns were expressed regarding the potential aesthetic impacts of the Project

on private properties. The concerns centered on the potential decrease in property values and the potential for the

Project to limit use of private lands for business purposes (Movie Ranch) where aesthetics of the land play an

important role.

Antelope-Pardee 500-kV Transmission Project F. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NOTIFICATION

December 2006 F-10 Final EIR/EIS

• Operational Noise Impacts. A number of residents expressed concerns with the crackling noise (corona noise)

caused by the current transmission lines, and are concerned about the increase of noise that would result from the

proposed Project. A number of residents stated that the crackling noise is a nuisance to them and to the

surrounding community.

• Environmental Justice. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) expressed concerns regarding the

environmental population within the geographic area of the Project. The agency recommends that if environmental

justice is an issue, that the Draft EIR/EIS address the potential for disproportionate adverse impacts to minority

and low-income populations.

Physical Environmental Issues and Concerns

Public agencies and residents expressed concerns with the potential impacts that the Project may have on the

physical environment, particularly to air quality, biological, cultural, geological, hazardous materials and

hazardous wastes, hydrological and recreation resources, and traffic and transportation. In addition, some

comments focused on the impacts to public service that would occur from the proposed Project.

• Air Quality. The USEPA requested that a full discussion of ambient air conditions, National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS), criteria pollutant in non-attainment areas, and potential air quality impacts be conducted for

the proposed Project and for each fully evaluated alternative. In addition, the agency requested a discussion of

construction-related impacts.

• Biological Resources Issues. Most of the concerns addressed the possible effects of the proposed Project on

wildlife movement and corridors, and the potential disruption to sensitive habitat, including the Antelope Valley

Poppy Preserve. Consideration of sensitive habitats and appropriate mitigation measures to compensate for

potential impacts, such as conservation easements, was requested. Other concerns included the potential increase

and invasion of noxious and exotic plant species from soil disturbance into sensitive areas as a result of the

proposed Project. It was requested that the Forest Service not use herbicides in their attempt to manage noxious

and exotic plants, as this would impact biological resources in the near future. It was further requested that the

Draft EIR/EIS identify all petitioned and listed threatened and endangered species, and critical habitats that might

occur within the Project area, as well as compliance with Executive Order 13112 (Invasive Species).

• Cultural Resources Issues. Comments centered on the need to conduct a thorough analysis of the potential

impacts on archeological resources. It was requested that a site evaluation be part of the environmental analysis

process, and not be considered as a mitigation measure.

• Geology and Soils. Concerns were expressed regarding the Project’s potential to affect soil resources and the

geology of the area. More specifically, the potential of the Project construction to cause soil erosion in private

property and cause soil compaction in farmlands.

• Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste. Hazardous waste impacts from construction and operation

equipment was a concern. It was requested that the Draft EIR/EIS identify potential hazardous waste types and

volumes, and expected disposal and management plans.

• Hydrology and Water. A complete evaluation of the potential impacts to water resources and water quality was

requested, specifically, the need for the Project to comply with the appropriate permits and regulations, including

SWRCB, and Section 404 and 303 (d) of the CWA.

• Recreation Resources. Concerns were expressed regarding the potential of the proposed transmission line to

impact recreation facilities, specifically recreation trails, within the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. A

thorough analysis of recreation resources in the EIR/EIS was requested.

• Transportation and Traffic. Public agency comments expressed significant concern regarding the impact to

transportation and traffic during the Project construction and maintenance. Specifically, potential effects to the

nearby residents from utility vehicles accessing the Project towers and power lines. In addition, the potential of the

proposed Project to cross major transportation corridors.

• Utilities and Public Service Systems. The potential of the transmission lines to cause disruption of home

receivers, such as radio, television, and cellular phones was a concern. It was requested that a full analysis be

conducted and measures be identified to reduce potential impacts.

Final EIR/EIS F-11 December 2006

Alternatives

Many of the comments received focused on providing alternatives to the proposed Project. Specifically, the

possibility of utilizing tubular steel poles instead of lattice steel towers, exploring other routes for the proposed

transmission line, and placing the line underground for portions of the proposed route.

• Tubular Steel Poles. The possibility of using tubular steel poles as an alternative to the proposed lattice towers

was identified, as residents are concerned with the aesthetic impacts that may result from the lattice towers and

believe that tubular steel poles will have less of an impact than the proposed towers. In addition, some comments

stated that tubular steel poles may have the potential to decrease EMFs in the area.

• Alternate Routes. Discontent with the proposed transmission line route was expressed. Comments focused on

realigning the proposed route, specifically between the proposed towers T-102 and T-105 to avoid proximity to

home and orchard sites, rerouting the alignment away from an existing film-production ranch, and developing an

alternative that maximizes avoidance of National Forest System land and existing and planned development along

the proposed Project route.

• Underground Construction. Consideration of burying or undergrounding a portion of the line or along the entire

route was requested. Specifically, burying the line adjacent to the Northpark neighborhood and through sensitive

habitat.

F.23 Notices of Completion and Availability

NOC/NOA Requirements

CEQA and NEPA require that lead agencies notify the public of the availability of environmental documents.

Both State and federal lead agencies must prepare and distribute a Notice of Availability (NOA) indicating that

the lead agency has prepared a Draft EIR or Draft EIS, respectively, and it is available for public review. In

addition to a NOA, CEQA also requires that a State lead agency file a Notice of Completion (NOC) with the

State Clearinghouse.

CEQA indicates that the NOA should include a project description, including location; dates of the comment

period; notice of public meetings or hearings; significant environmental effects of the project; repository sites

for project information and documents, and if the project site is a listed toxic site [CEQA Guidelines

§15087(c)]. During distribution the NOA should be mailed to the last known name and address of organizations

or persons who have previously requested the notice in writing, and one of the following three methods: (1)

publication at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the affected area, or when more than one

area is affected, publication in the newspaper of largest circulation among the newspapers of general circulation

in the areas; (2) posting on and off the project site; and (3) direct mailing to the owners and occupants of

property contiguous to the parcels on which the project is located [CEQA Guidelines §15087(a)]. These

property owners should be identified through the most current equalized assessment roll. Other entities that

should receive the NOA according to CEQA include the county clerk of each county in which the project would

be located [CEQA Guidelines §15087(d)], and other agencies that have jurisdiction by law and/or special

experience with respect to the project [CEQA Guidelines §15087(h)].

CEQA Guidelines also require that a State lead agency file a notice of completion (NOC) with the State

Clearinghouse “as soon as the draft EIR is completed” [CEQA Guidelines §15085(a)]. The NOC should also be

filed with other areawide clearinghouses in order to assist in the distribution of the Draft EIR to State, regional,

and local agencies for review [CEQA Guidelines §15087(f)]. In order to facilitate public review of the Draft

EIR, the lead agency should provide copies of the Draft EIR to public libraries in the project area, and copies

should also be available in offices of the lead agency [CEQA Guidelines §15087(g)]. The NOC should include a

project description, location of the project, an address where the Draft EIR is available for review, and the dates

of the public review period [CEQA Guidelines §15085(b)].

Page 12: F. Public Participation and Notification...CFR 1503.19]. •Public review of Draft EIS/EIR should be at least 45 days [40 CFR 1506.10]. •Obtain comments from federal agencies with

Antelope-Pardee 500-kV Transmission Project F. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND NOTIFICATION

December 2006 F-12 Final EIR/EIS

In addition to the above CEQA requirements, the CPUC further requires that the NOC/NOA be sent by direct

mail to the county and municipal planning commissions and legislative bodies for each county or city affected

by the project, the State highway engineer, and owners of land under or on which the project would be located

[CPUC Rule 17.1(2)(b)]. CPUC also requires that notice of availability of the Draft EIR be provided to the

public through newspaper advertisements at least once a week for two successive weeks in newspaper(s) of

general circulation in the areas affected by the project [CPUC Rule 17.1(2)(b)].

NEPA states that the federal lead agency must provide public notice of the availability (NOA) of environmental

documents, including the Draft EIS, to inform interested parties [40 CFR 1506.6(b)]. The NOA will be

published in the Federal Register [40 CFR 1506.10(a)] after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) receives five copies of the Draft EIS [FSH 1909.15(23.2)(2)]. In addition, a responsible official of the

Forest Service is required to promptly mail notice about the proposed action to any individual or organization

who has requested it and to those that have participated in project planning, and additionally, must publish a

legal notice for the opportunity to comment on the proposed action in the newspaper of record [36 CFR 215.5].

Proposed Project EIR/EIS – NOC/NOA

Per State CEQA Guidelines Section 15085, the Notice of Completion (NOC) is a document that must be filed

with the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning and Research, as soon as the Draft EIR is completed.The NOC

was filed with the State Clearinghouse on July 24, 2006. The NOC included: a description of the proposed

Project, including location; the address where copies of the Draft EIR are available for review; the agencies that

should receive a copy of the Draft EIR, and the review period during which public comments may be received.

The CEQA Lead Agency shall also provide public notice of the availability of the Draft EIR at the same time it

sends the NOC to the State Clearinghouse (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15087).In addition to the

information disclosed in the NOC, the NOA included a description of the proposed Project and alternatives

including a map, details for the scheduled public meetings or hearings(date, time, and place); dates of the

comment period; and other sources for Project information a list of significant environmental effects; and

whether the project site is listed under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code (hazardous waste facilities).

The NOA was mailed or e-mailed to over 2,500 interested parties, and posted in the Los Angeles County

Clerk’s Office from August 1 through August 30, 2006. In addition, the NOA was published as a legal notice in

the Los Angeles Times on August 5, 2006, and in the following six newspapers:

• Antelope Valley Press on July 28, 2006

• Daily News on July 28, 2006

• Los Angeles Times, Valley Edition on July 28, 2006

• The Signal on July 28, 2006

• Antelope Valley Journal on July 28, 2006

• Acton/Agua Dulce News on July 31, 2006

In compliance with NEPA(40 CFR 1506.6(b)(2), a NOA of the Draft EIS was mailed to the USEPA, who

subsequently published it in the Federal Register on August 4, 2006, thus beginning the public comment period.

The NOA should be mailed to the USEPA, which is required to review all EISs; the USEPA is also responsible

for publishing the NOA once it is received (40 CFR 1506.9, 1506.10).

Final EIR/EIS F-13 December 2006

F.34 Draft EIR/EIS Review and Public Hearings/Meetings

Draft EIR/EIS Review and Public Hearing/Meeting Requirements

As discussed in the previous sections, both CEQA and NEPA place a high priority on public involvement

throughout the environmental review process. The provision of opportunities to the public to review and

comment on the Draft EIR or Draft EIS is important to achieving this objective. Both CEQA and NEPA require

lead agencies to provide public review periods, however CEQA does not require a public hearing on the Draft

EIR, whereas NEPA provides criteria when a public hearing should be held or sponsored. These criteria are

when there is substantial environmental controversy concerning the proposal or substantial interest in holding

the hearing; or if a jurisdictional agency requests a public hearing.

CEQA states that the public review, or comment, period for a Draft EIR should be between 30 to 60 days,

except when the Draft EIR has been submitted to the State Clearinghouse, in which case the review period is

not less than and is normally 45 days [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15087(e); §15105(a); §15205(d)]. The State

lead agency must request comments on the Draft EIR from responsible and trustee agencies; other federal,

State, or local agencies that have jurisdiction with respect to the project; cities or counties bordering the affected

cities and counties; and transportation planning agencies [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15086(a)], and may consult

with persons with special expertise, members of the public that filed a written request for notice, and persons

identified by the applicant [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15086(b)].

The State lead agency may conduct public hearings on the Draft EIR, but formal hearings are not required

under CEQA [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15087(i) and §15202(a)]. Further, the State lead agency can also

implement its own public hearing procedures as part of the hearing process [CEQA Guidelines, CCR

§15202(f)]. The CPUC requires that public hearings be held for each Draft EIR for which motions have been

made, unless the CPUC, presiding officer, or Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) determines otherwise [CPUC

Rule 17.1(g)]. Notices of public hearings should be timely, and may be formatted in the same manner as other

notices prepared by the Lead Agency [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15202(e)]. In addition, if a project website is

available, notice of public hearings should be included on the website.

NEPA indicates that the Draft EIS shall be circulated to agencies and the public prior to or at the same time as

it is transmitted to the EPA [40 CFR 1506.9], however if it is unusually long, a summary may be circulated

instead [40 CFR 1502.19]. Federal agencies with jurisdiction by law or expertise, environmental regulatory

agencies, the applicant, and those requesting copies of the full EIS must still be sent a full copy of the Draft EIS

[40 CFR 1502.19]. The federal lead agency must obtain comments from federal agencies with jurisdiction by

law or special expertise regarding the action, or who are authorized to develop and enforce environmental

standards [40 CFR 1503.1(a); (1); 40 CFR 1503.2], can request comments from other State and local agencies,

Native American tribes, those requesting notices, the applicant, and the public [40 CFR 1503.1(2); (3); (4)].

Generally, the federal lead agency must allow at least 45 days for comments on the Draft EIS [40 CFR

1506.10(c)]. Comments shall be accepted for 45 days following date of publication of the NOA in the Federal

Register, and FSH 1909.15(23.2) allows for a minimum of 45 days for comments on an EIS [36 CFR 215.6].

The federal lead agency shall hold or sponsor public hearing or public meetings whenever appropriate or in

accordance with statutory requirements applicable to the agency. Criteria shall include whether there is

substantial environmental controversy regarding the action or substantial interest in a hearing; and a request for

a hearing by an agency with jurisdiction over the action [40 CFR 1506.6(c)]. Forest Service regulations state

that public participation sessions should be conducted, if appropriate to solicit comments on the Draft EIS [FSH

1909.15(23.3)]. The lead agency must provide public notice of public hearings or public meetings, and must

always mail a notice to those who have requested it [40 CFR 1506.6(b)(1)]. The required noticing for public

hearings or public meetings for actions of local concern is identical to that described for the NOP under Section

F.1.

Proposed Project EIR/EIS - Draft EIR/EIS Review and Public Hearing/Meeting Requirements

The Draft EIR/EIS was filed at the State Clearinghouse on July 24, 2006, with the NOC, as discussed in

Section F.3, and at the U.S. EPA on July 24, 2006. One hundred forty-seven (147) copies of the bound Draft

EIR/EIS were distributed to federal, State, and local agencies and elected officials, as well as Native American

representatives, organizations, and other interested parties. An additional 135 electronic copies of the Draft

EIR/EIS on compact disc (CD) were mailed to interested parties. The Executive Summary of the Draft EIR/EIS

was sent to 12 interested parties, including elected officials; and 16 federal agencies received a one-page special

notice of the Draft EIR/EIS. In addition, as stated above in Section F.3, the NOA notifying the public of the

availability of the Draft EIR/EIS was mailed or e-mailed to over 2,700 people.

There was a 45-day public review period scheduled for the Draft EIR/EIS, which began on August 4, 2006,

originally ended on September 18, 2006, and was extended 15 days to October 3, 2006. The notice of extension

of the public comment period was mailed to over 3,400 interested parties, and was posted in the Los Angeles

County Clerk’s Office from September 19 through October 19, 2006. In addition, this notice was published as a

legal notice in the Federal Register, the Los Angeles Times on September 17, 2006, and in the seven following

newspapers:

• Antelope Valley Journal on September 15, 2006

• Antelope Valley Press on September 15, 2006

• Daily News on September 15, 2006

• Los Angeles Times, Valley Edition on September 15, 2006

• The Signal on September 15, 2006

• Agua Dulce/Acton Country Journal on September 16, 2006

• Acton/Agua Dulce News on September 18, 2006

No formal public hearings were held on the Draft EIR/EIS; however, during the public review period, public

meetings will be held at the dates and times indicated in the Notice of Availability were held on August 28, 29,

and 30, 2006, at the following locations and times. These meetings provided another forum for providing

comments on the project.

Various materials were distributed at each public meeting, including a meeting agenda, six fact sheets describing

the proposed Project and each alternative, a Project information sources handout, comment cards, NOAs, and

copies of the Executive Summary from the Draft EIR/EIS. Following the public meetings all meeting materials

and handouts were posted on the Project website.

In addition to the four public meetings referenced above, the Forest Service gave an informational presentation

about the proposed Project, particularly Alternative 5, to the Leona Valley Town Council and the Agua Dulce

Town Council at the request of these organizations on September 11, 2006. Various materials, including

information on Forest Service regulations, policy, and processes, were available at this meeting.

F.4 Final EIR/EIS and Decision

Final EIR/EIS Requirements

CEQA and NEPA differ on public involvement requirements for the Final EIR. CEQA does not require public

notice or review of a Final EIS, however under NEPA a Final EIS must be given similar notice and public as

was given to the Draft EIS.

CEQA says that the State lead agency is not required to provide a public review period for members of the

public or commenting agencies for the Final EIR [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15089(b)], nor is it required to

respond to comments that are not received within the specific comment period [California Public Resources

Code §21092.5(c)]. The lead agency must provide a written response to any public agency that submitted

comments on the Draft EIR at least 10 days prior to certifying the Final EIR [California Public Resources Code

§21092.5(a)]. However, the CPUC requires that the Final EIR be distributed to all parties to the proceeding

[CPUC Rule 17.1(3)(b)], and be made available to members of the general public for a fee [CPUC Rule

17.1(4)].

The State lead agency also must file a notice of determination (NOD) with the State Clearinghouse within five

working days of approval of the project [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15094(a)]. The NOD will be available for

public inspection at the State Clearinghouse for 30 days [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15094(d)]. In addition, the

filing of the NOD start a 30-day statute of limitations on court challenges to the approval of the project under

CEQA [CEQA Guidelines, CCR §15094(g)].

NEPA states that the federal lead agency must circulate the Final EIS to the same agencies, organizations, and

people, using the same methods, that received the Draft EIS [40 CFR 1502.19]. Part of this process includes

filing the Final EIS and all comments with the EPA, and also distributing it to other agencies and the public

prior to or at the same time as the EPA [40 CFR 1506.9]. The EPA will then publish the NOA of the Final EIS

in the Federal Register. At the time of its decision, the federal lead agency will prepare a public record of

decision (ROD) (40 CFR 1505.2, FSH 1909.15, 27.2), and distribute it to interested or affected agencies,

organizations, and persons, including those who requested it, and those that participated in decisionmaking

process (FSH 1909.15(28)(1).

December 2006 F-16 Final EIR/EIS

The Forest Service must also publish a legal notice of decision in the newspaper of record [36 CFR 215.7]. In

addition, the decision is subject to appeal per 36 CFR 215.11, and the appeal must be filed with the Appeal

Deciding Officer within 45 days following the publication of the legal notice of the decision [36 CFR

215.15(a)]. For decisions that have appeal rights, and if other laws, such as completing consultations, are

complied with, the ROD may be published on the date the Final EIS is transmitted to the EPA and made

available to the public [FSH 1909.15(27.21)(10)].

F.5 Document Repository Sites

Document Repository Site Requirements

Both CEQA [CCR §15087(c)(5) and §15087(g)] and NEPA [40 CFR 1506.6(f)] require lead agencies to make

project documents available to the public for review. Placing documents in repository sites is an effective way

of providing ongoing information about the project to a large number of people. The CEQA/NEPA documents

prepared as part of the proposed Project, which include the NOP, NOI, NOA, and Draft EIR/EIS, and other

notices including the notice of public meetings and notice of extension of the public review period were made

available at the following public repository sites:

A telephone hotline for project information was established at (661) 215-5152. This number receives voice

messages and faxes. The Project hotline also included an introductory message that was changed with each key

Project milestone in order to provide the most current Project information. In addition to using the Project

hotline as a method to communicate information to the general public, interested parties were able to fax

comment letters and leave voice messages identifying specific questions, inquires, or requests to the EIR/EIS

team.

EIR/EIS information, including proposed Project information, the environmental review process, the Draft

EIR/EIS, notices, and public meeting materials have been posted on the Internet at:

http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/environment/info/aspen/antelopepardee/antelopepardee.htm

This website has been used to post public Project documents during the environmental review process and to

announce upcoming public meetings. The Project website has also been updated after each key milestone in the

EIR/EIS process in order to provide the most current information, including Project Background and Other

Information, Proponent’s Environmental Assessment (PEA), Project Notices and Scoping, Public Meetings

(including Draft EIR/EIS public meetings on August 28, 29, and 30, 2006 and joint Leona Valley Town

Council/Agua Dulce Town Council meeting on September 11, 2006), release of the Draft EIR/EIS, and

Extension of the Public Review Period. The Project website provides links to notices, including the NOP, NOI,

NOA, and notice of extension of the public review period; environmental documents, including the PEA and the

Draft EIR/EIS; other Project materials and information, including meeting presentation and handouts, maps,

Project contact information, repository sites and addresses, and the Administrative Law Judge’s Order Granting

Extension.

F.6 Project Notification List/Document Distribution List

Several of the preceding sections discuss CEQA and NEPA requirements for who must be noticed during each

phase of the environmental review process, and how the notification must be conducted. The Antelope-Pardee

500-kV Transmission Project notification list was developed from the agency service lists, government officials

and interest groups, responsible and trustee agencies, and the property owner list provided by SCE in Appendix

G of the Antelope-Pardee Transmission Project PEA3. However, the Project notification list was updated

throughout the environmental review process to reflect changes or additions to interested parties. All parties

who signed-in at the scoping meetings and/or the public meetings for the Draft EIR/EIS, and those who

submitted verbal or written comments during the scoping period or the Draft EIR/EIS public review period

were added to the notification list using the mailing address information that was provided. Property owners

along the proposed Project and alternative routes were also added to the notification list. Other parties added to

the Project notification list include any person or agency that requested to be added to the list, or those

suggested by the CPUC and/or the Forest Service. Currently, the notification list includes over 3,200 names of

individuals, interest groups, and agencies. Property owners make up more than 85 percent of the notification

list.

Notices regarding the availability of environmental documents, such as the NOP, NOI, NOA, and Draft

EIR/EIS, were mailed to approximately 3,423 addresses, including community organizations, interest groups,

and property owners in the vicinity of the proposed Project route.

The Project notification list was used to distribute the NOP, public scoping meeting notices, Notice of

Availability of the Draft EIR/EIS, and the Draft EIR/EIS public comment period extension notice. In addition,

the Project distribution list, which is a subset of the larger notification list, was used to mail hardcopy and

3 SCE was required to provide notice of its filing of a CPCN application for the Antelope Transmission Project,

Segments 2 and 3 pursuant to Section XI of CPUC General Order No. 131-D. Section XI requires that electric

public utilities provide notice of their filing of a CPCN application or Permit to Construct within ten days via the

following methods: (1) by direct mail to planning commission and legislative body of affected counties or cities,

various State and federal agencies, those who request it, and property owners where the project would be located

and those within 300 feet of the right-of-way based upon the most recent local assessor’s parcel roll available; (2) by

newspaper advertisement at least once per week for two successive weeks in newspapers of general circulation; and

(3) posting on and off the project site [CPUC General Order No. 131-D, Section XI(A)]. The list provided in the

PEA and included as part of the environmental review process was developed and based on these requirements.

to federal, State, regional, and local agencies, and elected officials. The USDA Forest Service issued a NOI for

the proposed Project, which was published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2005. A public scoping meeting

notice was mailed to over 2,500 individuals in Project area;

• Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR/EIS. The Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR/EIS was

mailed to approximately 2,700 addresses, including community organizations, interest groups, and property

owners in the vicinity of the proposed Project route, and the NOA was also sent to property owners along the

Alternative 5 route;

• Draft EIR/EIS. Copies of the full Draft EIR/EIS were sent to 147 interested parties and agencies, and to the 16

information repositories, which include eight area libraries, three City offices, three community organizations, and

two USDA Forest Service offices. Twelve copies of the Executive Summary, 120 emails with the NOA, and 110

CDs (pdf version of the Draft EIR/EIS) with the NOA were also sent out; and

• Extension Notice. An extension notice was distributed to everyone on the Project notification list, which included

over 3,400 individuals, that announced that the public comment period for the Draft EIR/EIS was extended from

September 18 to October 3, 2006.;

Newspaper Notices. Notices were also published in local and regional newspapers to announce the public

scoping meetings, the release of the Draft EIR, the Draft EIR/EIS public meetings, and the extension of the

public comment period. The newspaper advertisements included information on the Project website address,
