Supervisors Want More Data on Hydro Proposal
A federal environmental report analyzing the effects of a proposed 500-megawatt hydroelectric plant near Lake Elsinore gave local officials insufficient information, the Board of Supervisors declared by vote Tuesday.
The board urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which prepared the document, to further investigate the 2,400-acre project’s effect on transportation, water quality, views and recreation, including hang gliding in the Santa Ana Mountains.
The plan’s sponsors, including the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, must be licensed by the federal agency.
