[pct-l] Proposed 160-ft. tall towers in the San Felipe Hills?

[Diana Lindsay]

Hi All, 

 

You can all certainly do something to help prevent Sunrise Powerlink from
crossing Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, state wilderness areas, and
sections of the PCT. Incidentally, if the 500kV powerline crosses 22 miles
of the park, sections of three state wilderness areas will have to be
dedesignated as wilderness areas -- wilderness areas that were created to be
"forever." That "forever" will set a precedent nationwide for dedesignating
wilderness areas when there is a need for development. Within the park
alone, the powerlines will be visible for over 90,000 acres. There is a lot
at stake here. The CPUC will not make a decision until late 2007. You can
make a difference. Here is how. Write letters expressing your anger and
concern to:

  Just got the latest PCT Communicator magazine and

was saddened to read about the possible 87 160 ft.

tall "lattice" power line towers that the San Diego

Gas & Elecric company is considering putting in right

near the trail in one of the more beautiful sections

of the PCT in Southern California.

  The article included the email for one Billie

Blanchard, Project Manager for the California Public

Utilities Commission.  I encourage anyone and everyone

on this list, if you think it's a bad idea, to share

your viewpoint with Billie.  The email addy is:

bcb at cpuc.ca.gov  If you decide to fire off an email,

please cc: Suzanne Wilson at SWilson at pcta.org

 

 

 

 

Thanks & Happy Holidays,

Squatch
