The LEAPS project and it's associated transmission lines have returned. A copy of the Notice of Preparation is available on http://www.stopleaps.info/.
It is necessary for the public to be aware of these projects' impacts in order to assess the benefits.
I welcome discussion on this issue, and though the title of this blog reflects my position that I oppose these projects, I will post differing viewpoints as guest postings and in comments.
Regarding guest postings and moderation of comments, I reserve the option to adapt the comment policy as needed based on the level of civility and honesty through which contributors express themselves. By civility, criticism must be aimed at the project and the issues and not be personal attacks or use language considered unpublishable. By honesty, commenters should be stakeholders (in the project or community) and they should be presenting themselves as a single entity, and only as that entity. Comments will be moderated, but as a show a good faith, I'll allow comments to be posted anonymously.

Wildomar's view of the power lines
Segment of the proposed Talega-Escondido/Valley-Serrano Interconnect
The EVMWD sky view pump station, water storage and access serving Rancho Capistrano and surrounding areas is inadequate for fire prevention. The systems requires on site emergency electrical generation, increased water storage and additional access. Transmission lines increase these risks along the entire transmission line corridor. None of these issues are mitigated or discussed in the TNHC's CPUC PEA. During the candidates meeting I attended last year, Ron Young (EVMWD GM) specifically declared water storage for fire prevention as the primary responsibility of EVMWD. This is an issue for discussion at the upcoming meeting.
