(i.e. PUC, Regional Coast Commission, EPA) determined that grading pe would not have significant adverse environmental impacts. (Ref. Sec. 19.04.130 CMC). The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing pursuant t the City's Environmental Protection Ordinance after Carlsbad Cornmunit Cause appealed the Planning Director's decision to issue a negative d tion for the Encina Tank. During the September 10, 1975 public heari su6stantial testimony was offered by representatives of Carlsbad Comm Cause and representatives of SDG&E. The testimony offered by Carlsba CommunTty Cause was directed at the requirement for an Environmental Report not only for the tank but for the entire Encina Power Plant fa SDG&E representatives stated that the issue was the environmental sig of a gradtng permit for construction of a tank approved as part of th Specific Plan for the Encina Power Plant facility. After staff reports and the foregoing testimony, the Planning Commiss a negative declaration for the grading permit. Ex-hi bi ts : Staff Report of September 10, 1975 with attachments Minutes from Planning Commission September 10, 1975 Meeting Resolution No. 1189 Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council concur with findings of the Planning Commission and uphold the decision to issue i negative decTaration for the gradtng perm-it associated with Encina Tat #7.

The Planning Director after anaiysis and review of previous public actions (i.e. PUC, Regional Coast Commission, EPA) determined that grading permit would not have significant adverse environmental impacts. (Ref. Sec. 19.04.130 CMC) . The City's Environmental Protection Ordinance (Ord. 1150) provides that any decision of the Planning Director to ~SSIUP a declaratioii of nonsignificant (negative) etiviroiimental effect may be appealed to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission's determination is then appealable to the City Council (Sec. 19.04.740, Appeal CMC). days after the required posting period. The appeal then shal be set to public hearing, notice of hearing published in a newspaper of general circulation and posted on the Council Chamber doors. Carlsbad Community Cause, a citizen's organization, has appea' the Planliirig Director's decision to issue a negative declarat. for a grading permit which would allow SDG&E to install a 450,000 bbl fuel oil storage tank at the Encina Power Plant Facility. A copy of the appeal letter and the appellant's subsequent statement has been attached. A project description, location map, the environmental -impact assessment questionnaire (EIA), the negative declaration and an analysis prepared by City Staff have also been attachec DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: The critical issues with the appeal are: Appeal of a negative declaration must be made within five (5) __ 1. Did the Planning Director adequateiy examine 2. Was th2 declaration of non-significant effect the potential impacts of the project? substantiated? e Memo to Plann-ing Commission Encina TaRk #? EIA Appeal a -1 Page 2 The first stage of environinental review is submission of the EIA by the applicant. The Planning Dfrector has three options in acting on an EIA: to issue a negative declaratio to requitle an EIR, or to require further study. In this instance, further study was opted for. Xn studying the project, six potential impacts were analyzed (see Staff Analysis ciaied 8-18-75). The Planning Director’s concfvsion: was that none of these identa!fied concerns would have a significant adverse effect within the meaning of the California Env;ronnental Quality Act and the City’s Environmental Protection Ordinance. The P’lanning CSvector consi.dered an EIR for the Encina Power Plant 5th Genersting Unit, which was submitted to and certified by the California FEblic Utilities Comrnissior! (PUC The PUC acted as lead agency for Encina #5. The EIR discuss impacts that pertained to oil spill potentials. The San Diego Regional Coast Commission in their analysis on tank #7 project addressed the identified impacts, especia’ air quality, aesthetics, tanker traffic and grading disposal The Commission found cfter thorough study that the project wolild result in no significant adverse en1:ironmental effects An appeai of The Regional aec-ision on the project whts sub- mitted to the State Commission. However the appeal wa; not granted because in the State Commission’s opinion, the grounds for appeal could not be substantiated. RE C OMM EN D AT I 0 N : The Planning Commission has three alternatives in acting on the appeal: 1. It may uphold th.2 Planning Director’s determinz 2. It may reverse the Planning Director’s dec.i‘sior 3. It may find that additional study is necessary and require the preparation of an EIP,; prior to making a final decision on the Planning Director’s determination. Staff recoinmends that the decision to issue the negative declaration be upheld for the following reasons: 1. Based on the findings of the Federal Environmer Protection P,gency the impacts of air pollution wi’ll not be so significant so as to cause adverse effects on Air Quality. 2. That the findings of the Regional Coastal Commission of the Publ-ic Utilities Commission : on the potential impacts on’grading, tanker traffjc and barge traffic would not cause a significant adverse environmental effect. -2- 0 0 I Memo to Planning Commission Encina Tank #7 EIA Appeal Page 3 .. n 3. That the’project vi111 be recessed and surround1 by an earthen berm with appropriate landscapin so as not to cause negative impacts on views f adjoining roadways. 4. That the project will be so constructed so as to minimize and/or negate impact on the surrounding lands including the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. 5. The project meets the criterion for a negative declarati2n as set forth in the California Environmental Quality Act and the Carlsbad Environmental Protection Ordinance.

OCTOBER 2, 1975 DISPOSAL The Planning Gepartment Staff analysis of August 18, 1975 states that tt- excavated material is proposed to be deposited in an uninhabited area of the Count and that the County wi 11 have the responsi bi 1 i ty of determining the envi ronrnental requirements for the project. Prior to August 18, San Diego Gas and Electric Comp was to deposited at the proposed Macario Refinery site but they recently approache the San Diego Regional Coast Commission about the possibility of obtaining an admi istrative permit to deposit a portion of the material on the beach. Regional Coas Commission staff informed San Diego Gas and Electric that they would be required t go through the regular permit procedure. San Diego Gas and Electric has not appli for a regular permit. Since there appears to be some question as to where they wi ultimately decide to deposit the 142,OO cubic yards of dirt, and although the site may be in the countys the impact of the disposal of that amount of dirt could indei have an adverse environmental effect. "here it will be dumped, when it will be dui and over what roads it will be hauled are all environmentally significant question NEED Staff's analysis states the tank is planned to increase the total storagt capacity of SDGAE and the additional supply is needed because of increased consumei demand and an increasing requirement for fuel oil in generation of electricity. TI 0 e , Cal'ifornia Coastal Zone Conservation Conunission Staff report on the tank states: "The project siiou?cl not result in significantly more oil being brought in at Encina as the need for the project is only justified on the basis of system reliab- ity and not the need for the storage for normal overations." These two statements are contradictory. Commission that they needed the tank, not to increase their storage capacity, but that insufficient storage capacity is available at Encina to store oil temporarily before it can be transferred to the company's other facilities. If the Encina fac- is to be used as an oil depot for San Diego County this will most certainly have si gni fi cant environmental effects on the City of Carl sbad. San Diego Gas and Electric testified to the State Coastal AIR QUALITY Staff analysis says that the United States Environmental Protection Agenc issued an authorization to construct the tank, and that they found that the applica met all requirements of the Clearn Air Act as amended.

San Diego Gas and Electric testified to the United States Env mental Protection Agency that unless they were granted a permit to build the Macarii Refinery they would not be able to guarantee purchase of low sulfur fuel beyond 197' Since the refinery is not as yet an accomplished fact, the environmental impact of sulfur fuel spills should be considered. In addition, should the refinery be built primary function would be to remove sulfur from fuel brought in through the Encina r again indicating the need for determination of the hazard. Although SDG&E was granl a permit to construct Encina 5 by the Air Pollution Control District on the basis 0- firm contracts to purchase low sulfur fuel through 1984, their statement to EPA con' dicts this. In either case, it seems quite clear that incoming fuel oil may well bc other than low sulfur and consequently the hazards of high sulfur fuel spills must t examined. Staff does not address the added danger of oil spill that will come with routine barging of oil from the 450,000 barrel tank to San Diego to fuel the South E facility, nor the air pollution from barge tank venting during these operations. SUMMATION San Diego Gas and Electric Company as indicated by their Senior Vice Pres Mr. Laffoon, intends to construct a fuel processing facility. It is imperative that synergistic effect of the tank and its accompanying operations be fully evaluated to permit the use of mitigating conditions that will protect Carlsbad's environment. T specific plan that was adopted by the City of Carlsbad in their Ordinance 9279, AugL - 3- 0 0 ' 1971,, included the tank with Encina 5. The 7th storage tank was separated from the Encina 5 project and although Encina 5 did have an EIR, the 7th storage tank has nei had an EIR. An EIR is not a vehicle to stop a project, rather it is a vehicle to pi the information to insure that the project will meet the standards of the City to pi the City's environment. Clearly the disposal of the excavated material , the obviou threat to the air quality, the increased tanker traffic and the routine barging all to be evaluated in order to determine the best possible means to insure that the pr will have no negative effect on the environment which is needlessly damaging, thoug harmful, or irreversible. Ordinance 9279 specified certain conditions for both Encina 5 and the ex of the tank farm. These conditions included that "Details concerning the leasing o lands shall be agreed upon between SDG&E and the City within one year after the Cit has approved final rezoning.

We are aware that this is a situation complicated by an Ordi which was a specific plan for both Encina 5 and the expansion of the tank farm and further complicated by decision of the City that a review of the 400 foot Encina SI is subject to review.

As it is impossible to determine . portion of the conditions that must be met before a portion of the Ordinance's spec plan is approved, Carlsbad Community Cause would respectfully petition the City Cou to reopen the specific plan to resolve some of these questions and that an EIR for tank be required as a necessary factor in formulating that specific plan. The only possible alternative to this which guarantees to the people of Carlsbad what is leg required by Ordinance 9279 is that all conditions be met before approval of any pori of the specific plan is permitted construction. Conditions of Ordinance 9279 which to have been met years ago have not been met. For the City Council to ignore this . granting a permit for the storage tank is clearly contrary to the intent of Ordinanc If Ordinance 9279 is vague or unclear in its details, all the more reason to reopen study of the specific plan, for the intent of the conditions relating to the park ir quite clearly there.

Considerable information has been made public relative to the tank. Public hearings were held by the San Diego Coast Regional Commission. The action of that Comission in approving the tank was appealed to the Coastal Commission by Community Caul and Coast Watch. The State Coastal Commission found, after an in-depth review and careful consideration of all the facts, that there were no significant environmental impacts and therefore declined to hear the appeal, thereby sustaining the approval ob- tained from the Regional Comission, which approval became final in May, 1975. formation is available relative to the construction of this tank, Yet, the subject was thoroughly aired at numerous public hearing! Pursuant to our most recent application for a permit, the Carlsb: Planning Director issued a negative declaration confirming that there is no environmental impact. The City Planning Commission , on an appeal of the Planning Director's decision, confirmed that a negative declaration was appropriate. The Community Cause appeal implies that inadequate in- Community Cause implies there is a relationship between the 7th Fuel Oil Tank and Encina 5, the Marine Terminal, and other Encina activities. We repeat once more, that the Encina Unit 5 project, the 7th Fuel Oil Tank, and the Marine Terminal have no interrelationship. In fact, SDG&E requires the 7th Fuel Oil Tank now. It cannot wait until Encina 5 is built. AN lN/rSTOn' O/tNrD COLPGSATIU/I " * b sD&E SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY Mr. Paul Bussey October 3, 1975 Page 9 Our present plans show that the Marine Terminal is in deep enough water to allow a 70,000 dead-weight-ton tanker to come in and off-load. Presently, there are two tanker deliveries per month. The tanker deliveries and fuel oil delivered are not based on the amount of storage that one has, but are determined by the amount of fuel burned at two major generating facilities. SDG&E's present rate of burn is approximately one million barrel: per month. However, with the reduction in natural gas, which in the past has been available for generation, the need for fuel oil is increasing. Our projections show the increase will amount to between two and three hundred thousand barrels a month. All this leads to the fact that SDGtiE needs additional storage to give it the operating flexibility needed for handling incoming tankers, for barging fuel oil to South Bay, and for maintaining a sufficient supply at Encina in case of an emergency. Community Cause confuses the real issue by raising the question of barging. The amount of barging to South Bay is a direct result of the amount of fuel burned. have a two-million barrel storage capacity, and this supports our electric generation there. storage as full as possible to allow for any type of emergency breakdown on our fuel system or any reduction in imported off- system resources. is established on a monthly basis to maintain full storage at South Bay. If we do not build the tank at Encina, then oc- casionally we would refuse tanker deliveries due to lack of storage. This would result in inadequate fuel oil supply to meet energy requirements. This is not desirable and is an un- necessary cost increase that would be passed on to the rate- payers, many of whom live in Carlsbad. At South Bay we It is our intention to keep that The amount of barging from Encina to South Bag All the information that we have about the construction ( this 7th Fuel Oil Tank has been disclosed and has been available for public review.

The Planning Commission urged a of San Diego Gas and Electric Company's entire Encina facility incl projected development. Carlsbad Cormunity Cause also is concerned Carlsbad holdings and believes that all environmental effects of ma projects like the 450,000 barrel storage tank must be examined thro Environmental Impact Reports. We urge the Carlsbad City Council to exercise its power and leaders in protecting the interests of the total community by requiring the maximum legal study of the effects of constructing the tank.

The money is to be used pursuant to our Rule 31.8, as filed with the California Public Utilitil Commission. Your staff is familiar with the details of that rule. In accordance with instructions from the Commission, the amounts allocated for conversion work in the various cities and unincorporated County areas in our service territory are proportional to the number of electric customers in each. in the City of Carlsbad will be $34,950. For 1972, the amount allocated for conversions In addition to the foregoing, there will be available the carry- over of any unexpended amounts from our budgets in earlier years for conversion work in your municipality. The amount of $3,149,000 is up substantially from the $2,610,000 budgeted by us for 1971. The increase is $539,000, which is 1/2 of 1% of the Company's 1970 electric gross receipts. We believe this increase in the funds budgeted for undergrounding of existing overhead lines is in the public interest, and is in keeping witf- the spirit of the Company's offer made in recent negotiations with the City of San Diego. However, as the Company has recently brought to the attentior of the Commission, the amount budgeted for 1972 assumes a favorable and early decision on the Company's request for an increase in electric rates (Application 52800). decision, it may be necessary to suspend all conversion work and curtail 0th important projects.

Before you consider giving your signature, I would like to ask you to consider this: Further delay of Encina 5 will result in unnecessary and tremendously high costs for SDG&E customers. The need for new energy sources is very real. Demand projections tell us that without new sources, shortages and outages could be expected as early as 1978--at the latest by 1980. Encina 5 is the only new energy source that could possibly be ready to meet that demand. Furthermore, it has already received approval from every responsible environmental and government agency, including the Carlsbad Planning Commission and City Council. Because of improved efficiency, Encina 5 would cut fuel oil con- sumption by 5&-QQQAb-4x-~eJ3 each month. That represents a savings at current oil prices of $700,000 a month. An additional $680,000 is being lost each month due to construction cost escalation and interest. The total expense of delay amounts to $1,380,000 each month. show up on your utility bill. Cleaner air is one of the benefits. With a single taller stack, rather than several short stacks, emissions will be released into upper air levels where strong winds dilute and disperse them more readily. Another benefit is the added tax base, which will tend to relieve the pressure on homeowners. The taxes we will pay on Encina 5 are roughly equal to $135 per year for each residence in Carlsbad. What is the actual cost to you of delay on Encina 5? __._-__- --- --_ "_"-...r--.- These expenses eventually There are other benefits to be gained from Encina 5.

The Council people did indicate th they were askin5 for ratner substantial changes at the conclusion of that very long night, and the final copies of the ordinance werenot available until this afternoon. ;/e do notfeel that there has been sufficient time to examine the ordinance and since there does not appear to be any other time in which to address the Council as a group on the conditions, it would seen1 appropriate to grant our request. lle \were unable to properly prepare for this eveninGIs meeting because the material was not available, however >;e ~ust mint out that 8(R) of the Crdinance would appear to be inaccurate. (2l.X.020 (3) states ..." There shall not be permitted any use which creates noxious gas or odor, excessivc- sound vibration or significant atnospheric pollution."

Skotnicki moved to keep the zoning guarantee out of the final agreement. This motion passed two to one with Chase voting no. Skotnicki then moved to compromise with SDG&E on its request that the city pay taxes, estimated at $28,000 a-year, on the 91-acre park. “I move we accept the compromise that SDG&E continue paying property taxes . for five years after the effective date of the lease,” he said, “The city and SDG&E will them cooperate to have the taxes abated. Failing that, the city will pay no more than $14,000 for the remainder of the terM of the lease.” Mrs. Casler responded that that wasn’t a compromise since the city’s taking the risk. Skotnicki replied, “It’s not really a compromjse, no.” Mrs. Casler continued by saying DeVore had previously assured the cify that he could get the taxes abated (because the, land would be in public use). “If we’re going to pay the taxes, I’d want a completely different design for the park,” she said. Earlier City Manager Paul Bussey had pointed out that the city could end up paying a minimum of $1.2 million in taxes over the &year life of the lease. -
