A.12-04-019 (PHC) - Application of California-American
Water Company (U210W) for Approval of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply
Project and Authorization to Recover All Present and Future Costs in Rates,
Commission Courtroom, San Francisco |
At least a dozen parties now part of project review, JIM
JOHNSON Herald Staff Writer, 06/06/2012
"Early in the hearing, Weatherford suggested he would lean
toward focusing the PUC review on the proposal as presented by Cal Am and not
on a parallel track with alternatives. But he left the door open to the
possibility that alternatives could be considered as part of environmental
review or during evidentiary hearings later this year."
Judge: Proceed with Cal Am new watersupply project application, JIM JOHNSON Herald Staff Writer, 06/01/2012
“In his ruling, Weatherford requested the parties to the
proceeding submit briefs outlining their stance on critical legal issues,
including the county's public desalination plant ownership ordinance, and the
project backers' access to slant well intake water, groundwater replenishment
product water, and the brine disposal outfall considered critical to the
project's feasibility.”
“Weatherford gave the parties until July 11 to file their
briefs on the legal issues, and until July 25 for replies.”
Members agree consultant needed to vet proposals

"The committee has been charged with vetting desal projects
proposed by California American Water north of Marina and by the backers of The People's
Project and DeepWater Desal in Moss Landing."
Panelists say public input lacking, laws being ignored
By JIM JOHNSON Herald Staff Writer, 05/05/2012
"I don't know what the (authority) will do, but I'm
taking them at their word that they want to speak with one voice, and that
means they need to hammer out some compromises," said Riley, a water
activist. "So far it's just been public meetings and public comment, no
decisions, no policy, no direction. We need a follow-up process leading toward
a decision. We need more structure. There are too many problems adding up
faster than the sense of progress."

Peninsula Regional Water Authority's technical advisory committee)

Commercial Park .

The council voted 6-1 Wednesday to approve "an
agreement establishing a relationship with Desal America in order to accelerate
a water project for Pacific Grove and Monterey County ."
A single desal plant supplying the greater Monterey Bay
area is a long shot.
