Importantly, “The CPUC Energy Division has encountered delays that we believe will make it impossible for us to meet the scheduled 3rd quarter 2014 publication date for the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR).  Energy Division accordingly requests a four-month extension of the schedule to allow the MPWSP EIR team to complete the necessary analyses and adequately address the technical issues surrounding the project. With the extension, publication of the MPWSP Draft EIR would occur in January 2015 and certification of the Final EIR in July 2015.”
