SUBJECT: The Proposed California-Oregon Transmission Powerline
Through East Contra Costa County
Constance Brady, representing Positive Resolution of
Powerline Problems (PROPP) , P. 0. Box 339 , Bethel Island 94511,
advised the Board of the California-Oregon Transmission Project' s
500 KV powerline proposed to be routed through East Contra Costa
County. Ms. Brady alleged that proper notification was not given
to the residents in East County relative to the project and called
attention to the fact that the public should be a part of the
environmental review process through participation at public hearings.
She expressed concern that the project might have economic and health
as well as aesthetic impacts on the East County area. Ms. Brady urged
the Board to support PROPP ' s request for public hearings on the pro-
posed powerline project.
Board members agreed that prior to taking a position on
the project, more information is needed relative to specific impacts
on the county. Board members expressed a desire to have scoping
sessions in the East County area on the proposed project.
Supervisor Sunne McPeak requested Ms. Brady to provide in
writing information relative to the impacts and consequences the
proposed project could have on Contra Costa County.
THEREFORE, the Board EXPRESSED support of PROPP' s request
for scoping sessions and the public hearing process and REQUESTED
the Community Development Director to report to the Board on the
environmental process and impacts of the proposed powerline.
FURTHER, the Board REFERRED to the Water Committee the
issue of possible mitigation measures for such a route across the
Delta, including protection for the levees.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
C C; Water Committee an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of SuALOR,
on the date shown.
