EXEMPTION, COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY and BOARD OF WATER AND POWER COMMISSIONERS (Board) and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to approval of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project (ANPP) Hassayampa Switchyard Interconnection Agreement with Sun Streams, LLC.

 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

  1. FIND that this item is exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15277. In accordance with this section, projects located outside of California are exempt from the requirements of CEQA when the project is subject to environmental impact review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or state law equivalent to NEPA.

  2. CONCUR with the Board's action of November 6, 2018, Resolution No. 019 069, which approves the ANPP Hassayampa Switchyard Interconnection agreement by and among the co-owners of the ANPP Hassayampa Switchyard and Sun Streams, LLC, DWP No. BP 17-027.

  3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE, dated November 15, 2018, approving the ANPP Hassayampa Switchyard Interconnection Agreement, DWP No. BP 17-027, by and among Arizona Public Service Company, El Paso Electric Company, Public Service Company of New Mexico, Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, Southern California Edison, Southern California Public Authority, the City of Los Angeles, acting by and through the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), and Sun Streams, LLC; and delegating to the Board the authority to amend said agreement.

 

Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board reports that there should be no negative financial impacts to LADWP because all costs associated with the interconnection are expected to be borne by the interconnector or third parties. LADWP’s share of the annual expenditure for the operation, maintenance, and capital improvement of the switchyards, which is currently about $100,000, is not expected to be impacted by the interconnection. Therefore, the agreement should not have a negative financial impact on LADWP.

 

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
