A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF AZUSA SUPPORTING SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC
COMPANY'S COMBINED CYCLE PROJECT AND THE
NEEDS FOR SB 2672 (PRESLEY)
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City of Azusa faces an annual increase in
energy demand of about 4%; and
WHEREAS, the City of Azusa's current resource plan
anticipates that by the mid -1990's there will be a need for
additional resources to meet customer demands; and
WHEREAS, the City of Azusa has evaluated a variety of
options to meet this growing energy need at the lowest possible
price; and
WHEREAS, San Diego Gas & Electric has applied to the
California Energy Commission for approval to construct a combined
cycle power plant using clean -burning natural gas and employing
the latest pollution control technology available; and
WHEREAS, one of the sites proposed by San Diego Gas &
Electric is in Riverside County's Palo Verde Valley near Blythe,
California and, based on its close proximity to Los Angeles
basin, Azusa has requested for participation; and
WHEREAS, San Diego Gas & Electric and its participants
must comply with applicable rules and regulations of the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) to obtain an
operating permit; and
WHEREAS, emission offsets will be required from
neighboring facilities to mitigate the environmental consequences
of the combined cycle project; and
WHEREAS, since SCAQMD rules do not allow for emission
trading from other air quality districts and a limited amount of
industrial facilities exist in the Blythe area, SB 2672 (Presley)
has been introduced to allow for inter -district trading of
emission offsets.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE that the City of Azusa endorses San Diego Gas
& Electric's combined cycle project and supports the passage and
enactment of SB 2672.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of
