HomeMy WebLinkAboutPoseidon Coastal Development Permit 10-014 before the Califo HA Q: CITY OF HUN°TINGT' BEACH City Council Interoffice Communication To: Honorable City Council Members From: Connie Boardman 14 Date: April 29, 2013 Subject: City Council Item for the May 6, 2013 City Council Meeting- Poseidon CDP before the California Coastal Commission STATEMENT OF ISSUE: On Sept. 20, 2010 the City Council conditionally approved a Coastal Development Permit(CDP No. 10-014) for the Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project. The decision by the council was appealed to the California Coastal Commission and is scheduled to be heard by the Commission at their June meeting in Long Beach. I do not expect the staff report for item to be published until June 3 or later, giving the Huntington Beach City Council no time at a council meeting to respond to the staff report as a group. Therefore, I am requesting we address the findings the Commission staff developed in response to the appeal. RECCOMMENDED ACTION : I request that the Huntington Beach City Council authorize the Mayor to sign and send the attached letter to the California Coastal Commission requesting that the CDP for the Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project be denied. I have attached the letter that outlines reasons the council should request denial of the CDP. I have also attached a copy of the findings of the Coastal Commission Staff regarding the appeal of this project to the Commission. if'0�E7� X�77 T1c"7E /9?0 i7 MAY .W^)d ,L.�'77�Y1.s � C..H-l.l 1=• l.D A�774C._ C.1�/+'t I►?!J.t�D rJ ���`f r^�6 ��"��" l N�rJi Av�.4-L 0P.AJ10.J 41E-' C1))0 /o -o�� i-a2 7 s�Do.J t�sA�.,r.�►a�o� ?k&jr-Cr y s .

The City's approval of the Poseidon CDP was appealed by several organizations, as well as Commissioners Wan and Mirkarimi. Subsequently, the Coastal Commission found "substantial issues" were raised in the several appeals. For the reasons summarized below, we now agree with the Coastal Commission's findings of"substantial issues", and that the issuance of the CDP did not adequately enforce several provisions of our Local Coastal Program (LCP), and recommend the Coastal Commission deny the CDP. The Applicant can re-apply for a Project CDP from the City that is consistent with our LCP. However,we believe that significant changes to the project may be required to resolve the substantial issues we find were in violation of our Local Coastal Program. We believe it would be premature for the Coastal Commission to issue a CDP for the "retained jurisdiction" portion of the project prior to the Applicant presenting a revised proposal consistent with our local CDP. On the following pages you will find a list of our findings in regard to the "substantial issues" adopted by the Coastal Commission in 2010. 1 Item 17. - 2 HB -482- Findings of the Huntington Beach City Council Regarding Appeal # A-5-HNB-10-225 (Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project CDP) 1. Marine Biology and Water Quality(LCP: C6.1.1, C6.1.2, C6.1.3, C61.14, C6.1.19) a. Water Quality We agree with the Coastal Commission findings and reject the Applicants response as unpersuasive and inadequate justification for issuance of the CDP by the City. LCP Policy C 6.1.1 requires that the pro'iect at a minimum prevent the degradation of water quality. We believe the project will indeed degrade water quality. For example the highly saline effluent may arguably not affect areas that support sensitive species, but it will degrade water quality where it occurs. Our LCP policy C 6.1.2 states"marine resources shall be maintained,enhanced, and where feasible restored".This means all marine resources,not just sensitive species. Highly saline discharge will not enhance the marine environment. We also find that the permit issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board was limited to the time when the co-located power plant was still operating the"once-through cooling system."The CDP does not provide any opportunity for re-evaluation of the water quality degradation from the disposal of brine into the marine environment once the power plant ceases its current withdrawal of seawater. b. Marine Biological Productivity Our LCP (Policy C 6.1.3.) requires the"use of the marine environment in a manner that will... maintain healthy populations of all species of marine organisms." We agree that the lack of a long-term analysis in the CDP, given that the power plant will stop once through cooling by 2020 if not sooner,is inadequate enforcement of the policies in the City's LCP related to ensuring against the degradation of all marine organisms. We agree with the Coastal Commission finding that any effort to mitigate water quality degradation from the brine disposal by withdrawing additional volumes of seawater to dilute the brine before discharge, exacerbates the intake and mortality of marine life in violation of the City's LCP policies C 6.1.2, C 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and C 6.1.19. We find that the Project, as it is currently proposed,attempts to resolve some mandates of our LCP policies in a manner that violates other equally mandatory policies included in our LCP. The City Council finds this piecemeal attempt to segregate our LCP policies to justify the project now unacceptable. HB -483- Item 17. - 3 2. Protection of Wetlands &Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (LCP: C 6.1.4, C6.1.20, C7.1.3, C 7.1.4,C 7.1.5) Given that commission staff ecologist Dr. Jonna Engel identified evidence of wetland vegetation and hydrology on the site in the spring of 2009,we agree that the EIR erred in concluding there are no wetland areas on the site that would be affected by the project. Wetland protection is important to this council and we would request that a wetlands delineation study be done as part of a revised project proposal. This council also believes in protecting rare and endangered species that reside in wetlands. This includes assuring the project will not generate so much noise as to interfere with successful feeding, roosting, and nesting of these species. The EIR did not evaluate the noise impacts on wetland species.This likely violates LCP policy C 7.1.4. In particular, we find that our CDP findings were insufficient to ensure that a larger buffer zone is not warranted to comply with the stated policy: "Sensitivity of species to disturbance:The buffer should be sufficiently wide to ensure that the most sensitive species will not be disturbed significantly by permitted development based on habitat requirements of both resident and migratory species and the adaptability of various species to human disturbance." 3. Land Use (LCP C 1.2.1) A private business is not a public entity.The project is an industrial facility.The applicant describes it as such in the letter sent in response to the appeal. It is not allowed in areas designated as "Public" under the City's Land Use Plan. Therefore, we agree with the Commission that consistency with the City's LCP policy C 1.2.1 would first require an LCP amendment. 4. Energy Use and Development(LCP C 8, C 8.2.2, C 8.2.4, C 8.3.1) We now find that the LCP, by incorporating Coastal Act policies, designates the entire site as being available for power plant expansion. AES is currently in the permitting process with the California Energy Commission to demolish the existing generators and replace them with newer more efficient generators. To reduce noise impacts to residents of the AES plant, the new generators may need to be situated on the site currently planned for the desalination project. Therefore, we agree with the Coastal Commission finding that reducing the area available on the site will constrain the power plant's options for upgrading the facility, and consequently undermine the policy to "Accommodate energy facilities with the intent to promote beneficial effects while mitigating any potential adverse effects." 3 Item 17. - 4 H B -484- S. Adequate Public Services (LCP C 1.1.1, C 1.2.3) In regards to LCP Policy C1.2.3,we find that the CDP did not adequately analyze all the public services necessary to serve the proposed development,consistent with the policies in the Coastal Element. In particular,we find that a delivery pipeline is an essential "public service"for the project that is not available. Further, the CDP failed to identify the route of the delivery pipeline and ensure that the as-yet to be determined pipeline would be consistent with the policies in the Coastal Element at the time of occupancy. We also agree the project analyses incorrectly calculated the "net reduction in electricity" for the reasons stated in the Commission's findings. 6. Effects on Public Recreation (LCP C3.1) We agree with the Commission's finding of"substantial issues" regarding the impact to recreational fishing from entrainment of marine organisms in the project's proposed intake, as well as displacement of recreational fisheries resulting from the improperly mitigated brine disposal.Withdrawal of seawater for a"stand alone" facility is inconsistent with the City's policy to "preserve, protect and enhance, where feasible, existing public recreation sites...." The entrainment of marine life, compounded by additional seawater withdrawal to dilute the concentrated brine disposal,would not"preserve or protect" recreational fishing opportunities. The cessation of the ocean water intake system for power plant cooling water will enhance marine habitat and marine life. However, that benefit is lost if the proposed project is allowed to use these same intakes. 7. Adequate Protection Against Seismic Events and Liquefaction (LCP C10.1.41 We agree that without a final determination of the pipeline route, it is premature to conclude that the CDP adequately"[requires] appropriate engineering and building practices for all new structures to withstand ground shaking and liquefaction...." Therefore,we now find that the final identification of the pipeline route, as well as proper studies, engineering and building practices to withstand ground shaking and liquefaction, are required prior to issuance of the CDP. B. Mitigation to the Maximum Extent Possible [LCP C1.11 We agree with the Coastal Commission findings that the CDP did not"ensure that adverse impacts associated with [the project] are mitigated or minimized to the greatest extent feasible."A list of adverse impacts that were not minimized nor mitigated to the greatest extent feasible,includes: - loss of marine life from entrainment; - water quality degradation from the brine discharge; - mitigation of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the energy-intensive seawater desalination process; ` - impacts on wetlands wildlife from noise disturbance. Hl3 -4 8 5_ Item 17. - 5 4 9. Coastal Dependency [LCP C1.1.21 Alternatives for moving the facility itself outside of the coastal zone are technically feasible, but were not adequately considered in issuing the CDP.The seawater desalination intakes are "coastal dependent", however the desalination facility itself is not necessarily"coastal dependent" and the CDP inadequately considered alternatives for the facility outside the coastal zone. NEW INFORMATION NOT CONSIDERED IN THE CDP The Huntington Beach CityxCouncil also wants to make the Coastal Commission and the Applicant aware of new information that we consider relevant to this project. We feel the information is important for future consideration. 1. New Scientific Reports on Seawater Desalination Prepared for the State Water Resources Control Board: See expert reports on desalination intakes and mitigation, brine discharge impacts and best technology for minimizing impacts, an brine toxicity studies at: hUp://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water issues/programs/ocean/desalination/ 2. AES Sub-Lease and Issues Related to Location of the AES Re-Power Project on the Site The City has been unable to obtain the lease agreement between AES and Poseidon Resources. We now feel this information is essential to a thorough review of potential locations of the desalination facility, and new replacement generators in a manner consistent with our LCP policies. Further, the timing and cumulative impacts of these large construction projects on the same site raise new questions about cumulative impacts yet to be resolved. In conclusion the Huntington Beach City Council is requesting that the California Coastal Commission deny the CDP for the construction of the Poseidon desalination plant. We authorize Connie Boardman, Mayor of the City of Huntington Beach to sign this letter on our behalf.

ISSUE Local Government: City of Huntington Beach Decision: Approval with Conditions Appeal No.: A-5-HNB-10-225 Applicant: Poseidon Resources/AES Huntington Beach Project Description: Construction and operation of a desalination facility. Project Location: On the site of the AES Power Plant, 21730 Newland Avenue, Huntington Beach, Orange County Appellants: Orange County Coastkeeper, Surfrider Foundation,Residents For Responsible Desalination, Commissioners Wan and Mirkarimi SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission determine that substantial issue exists with respect to the grounds on which the appeal has been filed. The appellants have raised substantial issues in that the project as approved and conditioned by the City through issuance of a coastal development permit and Tentative Parcel Map does not conform to applicable Local Coastal Program (LCP)policies. Staff recommends that the Commission find that there is a substantial issue related to inconsistency with LCP policies related to protection of marine life and water quality, protection of wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas, land use, adequate public services, energy use and development, public recreation, protection against seismic events and liquefaction,growth- inducement, coastal dependency, and the requirement for mitigation to the maximum extent feasible. Staff additionally recommends the Commission find no substantial issue related to the project's consistency with the LCP's water conservation policy. 1413 -487- Item 17. - 7 Appeal No. A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 2 of 21 SUBSTANTIVE FILE DOCUMENTS: • Certified City of Huntington Beach Local Coastal Program. • City of Huntington Beach Coastal Development Permit(CDP)File No. 10-014. • Coastal Commission Appeal File No. A-5-14NB-06-101. • Appeal Applications from Orange County Coastkeeper, Surfrider Foundation, and Residents For Responsible Desalination (collectively the Environmental Group Appellants), and Commissioners Wan and Mirkarimi.

Item 17. - 8 HB -488- Appeal No. A-5-FI70-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 3 of 21 II. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTION The coastal development permit was approved by the City of Huntington Beach City Council on September 20, 2010, concurrent with approval of Tentative Parcel Map#10-013. Previously,on September 7, 2010,the City certified a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the project. Concurrent with the City's approval of this CDP, it rescinded a CDP it had previously issued to the applicant for a similar project in February 2006. III. APPEAL PROCEDURES After certification of a LCP, the Coastal Act provides for limited appeals to the Coastal Commission of certain local government actions on coastal development permits. Projects within cities and counties may be appealed if they are located within the appealable areas as defined by Section 30603(a) of the Coastal Act. The grounds for appeal are limited to the assertion that"development does not conform to the certified local coastal program." Where the project is located between the first public road and the sea or within 300 feet of the mean high tide line,the grounds of appeal are limited to those contained in Section 30603(b) of the Coastal Act. Those grounds are that the development does not conform to the standards set forth in the certified local coastal program or the access policies set forth in the Coastal Act. Section 30625(b) of the Coastal Act requires the Commission to hear an appeal unless it determines that no substantial issue is raised by the appeal. If the staff recommends"substantial issue"and no Commissioner objects,the Commission will proceed to a de novo hearing on the merits of the project at the same meeting if the staff has prepared a recommendation on said merits, or at a subsequent meeting if there is no such recommendation. If the staff recommends"no substantial issue"or the Commission decides to hear arguments and vote on the substantial issue question,proponents and opponents will have three minutes per side to address whether the appeal raises a substantial issue. It takes a majority of Commissioners present to find that no substantial issue is raised. If substantial issue is found,the Commission will proceed to a full public hearing on the merits of the project at either the same or a subsequent meeting as described above. If the Commission conducts a de novo hearing on the permit application, the applicable test for the Commission to consider is whether the proposed development is in conformity with the certified LCP. In addition, for projects located between the sea and the first public road paralleling the sea, Section 30604(c)of the Coastal Act requires a finding that the development conforms to the public access and public recreation policies of Chapter 3. The only persons qualified to testify before the Commission at the"substantial issue"stage of the appeal process are the applicant,persons who opposed the application before the local government(or their representatives), and the local government. Testimony from other persons must be submitted in writing. At the time of the de novo portion of the hearing, any person may testify.

MOTION & RESOLUTION I move that the Commission determine that Appeal No. A-5-11NB-10-225 raises NO substantial issue with respect to the grounds on which the appeal has been filed under Section 30603 of the Coastal Act. Staff Recommendation of No Substantial Issue: Staff recommends a NO vote. Failure of this motion will result in a de novo hearing on the application, and adoption of the following resolution and findings. Passage of this motion will result in a finding of No Substantial Issue and the local action will become final and effective. The motion passes only by an affirmative vote by a majority of the appointed Commissioners present. Resolution to Find Substantial Issue: The Commission finds that Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 presents a substantial issue with respect to the grounds on which the appeal has been filed under section 30603 q f the Coastal Act regarding consistency with the certified local coastal plan and/or the public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act. V. FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS The Commission finds and declares as follows: 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development approved by the City is a desalination facility to be constructed and operated by Poseidon Resources within the AES Power Plant site in Huntington Beach. The project also includes a water delivery pipeline that will be constructed along a route yet to be determined, but that is estimated to range from about eight to 10 miles long. The pipeline would connect the facility to the regional water distribution system. The purpose of the project is to produce from seawater approximately 50 million gallons per day(MGD) of potable water for use within various parts of Orange County. The approved development includes several buildings and structures that will house pre- treatment facilities, desalination equipment, a product water storage tank, administration offices, and other supporting structures and equipment. These structures would be located in portions of the northern part of the power plant site. Part of the proposed facility footprint includes fuel oil storage tanks formerly used by the power plant. Those tanks would be removed as part of the project. The project also includes pipelines connecting the power plant cooling system with the pre-treatment part of the facility. 1 Item 17. - 10 HB -490- Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 5 of 21 To produce potable water,Poseidon would withdraw approximately 100 MGD of seawater from the once-through cooling system currently used by the power plant.' The cooling system's 14- foot diameter intake structure extends under the beach and seafloor to approximately 1700 feet offshore where it emerges into the water column, and a similar discharge structure extends under the beach and seafloor to about 1500 feet offshore where it emerges into the water column. With the 100 MGD pulled in by the desalination facility, it would produce 50 MGD of potable water and about 50 MGD of a high-salinity effluent. That effluent, along with up to 6.5 MGD of backwash water and cleaning fluids, would be routed to the outfall and mixed with the power plant cooling water discharge to create a combined discharge with salinities ranging up to more than 20% over ambient seawater salinity. 2. PERMIT JURISDICTION Most of the land-based portions of the project are located within the Coastal Zone in the City of Huntington Beach and subject to the City's certified Local Coastal Plan(LCP). The project is also within the appeal jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission' Additionally,a portion of the project is within the Commission's retained jurisdiction—the facility's intake and outfall are within coastal waters and the project involves both a"change in intensity of use"of those waters and a discharge to those waters—so the project will require a permit directly from the Commission. 3. PERMIT HISTORY In February 2006,the City issued CDP#02-05 to Poseidon for construction and operation of a desalination facility similar to the current project,but at a different location within the power plant site. That CDP was appealed to the Commission, and on April 12, 2006,the Commission found that the appeal raised Substantial Issue with consistency to the City's Local Coastal Program.' In May 2006,Poseidon submitted a CDP application to Commission staff for those portions of the project within the Commission's retained jurisdiction; however,that application remains incomplete. In early 2010, the City started review of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report to address modifications to the original proposed project. In September 2010, the City certified the Supplemental EIR,rescinded its previously-issued CDP, and issued a new CDP. On October 4 and 5, 2010, Commission staff received timely appeals from the Environmental Group Appellants and from Commissioners Wan and Mirkarimi. ' Poseidon's current NPDES permit,which expires in August 2011,allows it to operate at its design capacity only when the power plant cooling system is using at least 126.7 MGD. Power plant operations have varied from very low intake flows when it is not generating electricity to up to 507 MGD. The power plant cooling system is scheduled to be shut down on or before 2020 and replaced with a system that does not use seawater. 2 Pursuant to Coastal Act Section 30603,the Commission's appeal jurisdiction includes developments approved by a local government that are located within 100 feet of any wetland,estuary,or stream,within 300 feet of the inland extent of the mean high tideline of the sea where there is no beach,or on tidelands or public trust lands. a 'In its April 2006 decision,the Commission found that substantial issue existed with respect to several of the LCP policies contested in this current appeal,including LCP policies related to protection of marine life and water quality (LCP Policies C6.1.1,C6.1.2,C.6.1.3,C6.1.4,and C6.1.19),protection of environmentally sensitive habitat areas (LCP Policy C7.1.3),energy use and development(LCP Policy C8),and adequate public services(C1.2.3). H B -491- Item 17. - 11 Appeal No. A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page b of 21 4. APPELLANTS'CONTENTIONS&STANDARD OF REVIEW All appellants contend that approval of the project by the City is inconsistent with policies of the City's certified LCP related to marine resources and water quality,wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas, land use, public services, energy use and development, and the LCP requirement that adverse impacts be mitigated to the maximum extent feasible. Environmental Group Appellants additionally contend the City's approval is inconsistent with LCP policies governing public recreation, growth-inducement, and water conservation. Appellants Wan and Mirkarimi additionally contend the City's approval is inconsistent with LCP policies related to protection against seismic and liquefaction events. The standard of review for this appeal is consistency with the certified LCP of the City of Huntington Beach. 5. APPEAL ISSUES RAISING SUBSTANTIAL ISSUE SA) Appeal Issue.Marine Biology and Water Quality LCP Policy C 6.1.1 states: "Require that new development include mitigation measures to enhance water quality, if feasible and at a minimum,prevent the degradation of water quality of groundwater basins, wetlands, and surface water." LCP Policy C 6.1.2 states: "Marine resources shall be maintained, enhanced, and where feasible, restored. Special protection shall be given to areas and species of special biological or economic significance. " LCP Policy C 6.1.3 states: "Uses of the marine environment shall be carried out in a manner that will sustain the biological productivity of coastal waters and that will maintain healthy populations of all species of marine organisms adequate for long-term commercial, recreational, scientific, and educational purposes. " LCP Policy C 6.1.4 states: "The biological productivity and the quality of coastal waters, streams, wetlands, estuaries, and lakes appropriate to maintain organisms and for the protection of human health shall be maintained and, where feasible, restored. " LCP Policy C 6.1.19 states: "Prior to approval of any new or expanded seawater pumping facilities, require the provision of maximum feasible mitigation measures to minimize damage to marine organisms due to entrainment in accordance with State and Federal law. " Item 17. - 12 HB -492- Appeal No. A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 ' Page 7 of 21 These LCP provisions apply to the approved project due to its use of seawater and its new pumping facilities! The provisions generally require that marine resources and water quality be maintained, enhanced, and where feasible,'restored, and that maximum feasible mitigation measures be required to minimize entrainment. The City's findings state, for a number of reasons,that the project is consistent with the above policies. Appellants contend, for reasons described below,that the project is inconsistent with those policies. The Commission's Findings regarding overall consistency with the above policies are provided below, along with Findings on specific policies and appeal contentions. For all the above policies, it appears that the City used several criteria or standards of review that were not adequate for defining the significance or severity of the project's impacts for purposes of LCP conformity. In several instances, it also analyzed project impacts in ways that were not sufficient to evaluate the project's conformity to these policies. Examples are provided below. • Use of Incorrect Review Standards: In several instances, the City's nonconformity with the above LCP policies appears to be due to the City's reliance on standards and determinations of significance selected for use in the EIR rather than those required by the LCP. The focus of the EIR was to determine whether the project causes si nificant impacts; whereas many provisions of the LCP require that any impacts be identified and then mitigated,where feasible. Some of the criteria the EIR used to define a"significant impact"resulted in determinations of significance that fell far short of identifying the kinds of impacts for which the LCP requires avoidance, additional analysis, mitigation, or other measures. The City acknowledges in the EIR that the project's conformity for purposes of the Coastal Act requires use of a more rigorous standard. The EIR's Response to Comments states that the EIR review was meant to determine whether the project would conflict with applicable plans and policies, and then states: "[deeeermining whether a conflict may arise that would preclude implementation of a plan or policy is entirely different from the more extensive process that may be involved in making a determination of"conformance"or "consistency"with a particular law, policy or other regulatory program. While it is understood that the Coastal Commission may apply a more rigorous standard in determining conformance of the project with the Coastal Act, such a standard is not required under CEQA." Even with this acknowledgement,the City used the EIR's less-than-adequate standards to determine LCP conformity. For example, the City's findings for LCP Policy 6.1.2 rely on the EIR's conclusions that the project would cause less than significant entrainment impacts; however,the EIR defined a significant entrainment impact, in part, as whether the project would affect a species' ability to sustain its population, which is a less protective standard than the LCP Policy's requirement that marine resources be"maintained, enhanced, and where feasible, restored". Similarly, regarding the effects of the project's chemical and saline discharges on marine life and coastal waters, LCP Policy C6.1.1 requires that the °The City's General Plan Coastal Element includes waters of the Pacific Ocean in its definition of"surface waters." 5"Feasible"is defined in the LCP(and the Coastal Act)as"Capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time,taking into account economic,environmental,social,and technological factors." HB -493- Item 17. - 13 Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 8 of 21 project"prevent the degradation"of water quality, whereas the EIR standards referenced in the CDP determined whether there were project impacts based on less stringent criteria,such as whether marine organisms experienced "substantial ecological losses of source populations". The City's findings on LCP Policy 6.1.3 state that the project's high salinity effluent will not affect areas that support sensitive species;however,the standard of review for that LCP policy is that the project will maintain healthy populations of all marine species. In its findings for LCP Policy 6.1.4, the CDP merely states that the project is consistent with this policy because it would not degrade water quality or adversely affect marine life as described in the CDP's findings on LCP Policies 6.1.1 and 6.1.3. As noted elsewhere in these Findings, however, the CDP's conclusions about those policies are not adequate for ensuring LCP conformity. Further,the City's findings do not address the"feasible restoration"aspect of LCP Policy 6.1.4's standard of review. Regarding LCP Policy C6.1.19,6 the CDP states that neither the project's entrainment nor its high-salinity effluent will negatively influence affected species' ability to sustain their populations,which is the incorrect standard of review for a policy requiring that damage to marine organisms be minimized. Overall, the standards of review and levels of significance the City used in the EIR cannot be relied upon to determine conformity of the project to these LCP polices. • Use of Incomplete/Inaccurate Analyses: In several instances,the City's CDP findings relied on EIR analyses that were not adequate to determine the project's conformity to these LCP policies. For several of the policies, the City's findings state that the project does not require mitigation measures because the EIR identified the project's impacts as less than significant. However, because the cited EIR analyses were based on different, and generally less protective, standards of review than required under the LCP, they are not adequate for determining LCP conformity. These include insufficient analyses of necessary and feasible mitigation measures required pursuant to LCP Policies C6.1.2, 6.1.4, and 6.1.19. For example, the CDP implies that the project intake does not require mitigation measures under LCP Policy 6.1.2 because it is not located within an Area of Special Biological Significance; however,the CDP does not acknowledge, as it should, that the facility's entrainment affects organisms from not just the immediate area, but from coastal waters up to several dozen miles away with areas of sensitive marine habitats. Similarly, for LCP Policy C6.1.19,which requires maximum feasible mitigation measures in accordance with state and federal law, the City's findings state that the project is not anticipated to conflict with applicable provisions of state Water Code Section 13142.5 regarding impingement, but the findings do not address that section's full requirements regarding the project's entrainment impacts.' For LCP Policy C6.1.4, the City refers to its findings for LCP Policies C6.1.1 and 6.13,which, as described elsewhere in these Commission Findings, are not adequate to ensure conformity to those policies. 6 The project is subject to LCP Policy C6.1.19 because it includes new pumps to bring seawater into the desalination facility and may include new pumps to replace existing pumps within the power plant. 'Water Code Section 13142.5(b)states:"For each neiv or expanded coastal powerplant or other industrial installation using semvater for cooling, heating,or industrial processing, the best available site, design, technology, and mitigation measuresfeasible shall be used to minimize the intake and mortality of all forms of marine life." Item 17. - 14 HB -494- Appeal No.A-5-DNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 9 of 21 Additionally,several of the City's analyses resulted in what are described as mitigation measures but are more appropriately defined as minor and incidental benefits that are caused by, and are incidental to,the project's adverse impacts. Regarding LCP Policy 6.1.1, for example,the CDP states that the EIR includes a number of mitigation measures meant to improve water quality and prevent water quality degradation;however,the measures cited are those resulting from substantial adverse project-related impacts. For instance,the CDP notes that the project will be"removing bacteria from source water",which is solely an incidental effect of the significant adverse entrainment impacts the project will cause by removing seawater containing fish eggs, larvae, plankton, and other important coastal resources. The CDP also notes that the project will be"reducing thermal footprint of the discharge from the power plant during the co-located operating condition';however,this is similarly an incidental effect of the project's introduction of 50 MGD of highly saline effluent into the power plant outfall. For both of the above examples, the measures the City claimed were sufficient for LCP adequacy were not supported by adequate analyses and the resulting findings were used either to require inadequate mitigation or to support the inclusion of incidental effects as adequate mitigation. As a result,neither the City's CDP nor the project EIR on which the City relied for its CDP findings identified or properly evaluated many of the project's expected adverse impacts or the potentially feasible mitigation measures that could be required of the project to avoid or minimize these impacts. The City's approved CDP therefore does not conform to the above LCP policies. In sum, the project will clearly cause adverse impacts to marine resources,water quality, and other coastal resources in excess of those that would allow consistency with the above LCP policies. The City's approval did not adequately identify the full range of impacts, in part due to using incorrect standards of review, inaccurate determinations of significance, and incomplete analyses of feasibility and needed mitigation measures. As a result,the City did not adequately evaluate the project's impacts to coastal resources and did not identify necessary mitigation measures that would avoid or minimize those impacts. The City's approval is therefore not sufficient to determine whether the project conforms to the above LCP provisions. Based on the record provided by the City and the information provided by the appellants, the Commission finds that substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP.8 a Note:In its 2006 Substantial Issue Findings for the previous version of this project,the Commission found that substantial issue existed with respect to the project's consistency with LCP Policies C6.1.1,C6.1.2,C6.1.3,C6.1.4, and 6.1.19.

" LCP Policy C6.1.20 states: "Limit diking dredging, and filling of coastal waters, wetlands, and estuaries to the specific activities outlined in Policy 30233 and 30607.1 of the Coastal Act and to those activities required for the restoration, maintenance, and/or repair of the Municipal Pier and marina docks. Conduct any diking dredging and filling activities in a manner consistent with Section 30233 and 30607.1 of the Coastal Act. " LCP Policy C7.1.3 states: "Development in areas adjacent to environmentally sensitive habitat areas and parks and recreation areas shall be sited and designed to prevent impacts which would significantly degrade those areas, and shall be compatible with the continuance of those habitat and recreation areas." LCP Policy C7.1.4 states: "Require that new development contiguous to wetlands or environmentally sensitive habitat areas include buffer zones. Buffer zones shall be a minimum of one hundred feet setbackfrom the landward edge of the wetland, with the exception of the following: A lesser buffer may be permitted if existing development or site configuration precludes a 100 feet buffer, or conversely, a greater buffer zone may be required if substantial development or significantly increased human impacts are anticipated. In either case, the following factors shall be considered when determining whether a lesser or wider bufferzone is warranted. Reduced buffer zone areas shall be reviewed by the Department of Fish and Game prior to implementation. a) Biological significance of adjacent lands: The buffer should be sufficiently wide to protect the functional relationship between the wetland and adjacent upland. b) Sensitivity of species to disturbance: The buffer should be sufficiently wide to ensure that the most sensitive species will not be disturbed significantly bypermitted development, based on habitat requirements of both resident and migratory species and the short and long term adaptability of various species to human disturbance. c) Susceptibility of parcel to erosion: The buffer should be sufficiently wide to allow for interception of any additional material eroded as a result of the proposed development based on soil and vegetative characteristics, slope and runoff characteristics, and impervious surface coverage. Item 17. - 16 KB -496- Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 11 of 21 d) Use existing cultural features to locate buffer zones: The buffer zones should be continguous with the environmentally sensitive habitat areas and make use of existing features such as roads, dikes, irrigation canals, and flood control channels where feasible. " LCP Policy C.7.1.5 states, in relevant part: "Notify County, State and Federal agencies having regulatory authority in wetlands and other environmentally sensitive habitats when development projects in and adjacent to such areas are submitted to the City." The above-referenced LCP policies require protection of wetlands and environmentally sensitive habitat areas and limit the kinds of development that may be approved in or near those areas. The City's findings do not evaluate the project's conformity to wetland protection components of LCP Policies C6.1.4 and C6.1.20. For LCP Policies C7.1.3 and C7.1.4,the City states that the project has been located to avoid significant impacts to the nearby Magnolia Marsh through setbacks and buffers, berms, grading, redirection of stormwater, and other measures. For LCP Policy C7.1.5,the City states that the project does not conflict with this policy because it involves no development in wetlands. Appellants contend that the City's approval is inconsistent with the above policies for three main reasons—first,that the City did not properly delineate wetlands present within the project footprint and therefore did not adequately avoid and mitigate for wetland impacts; second, that the City's noise studies were inadequate to identify possible impacts to wetland-dependent wildlife species; and third, that the lack of an identified pipeline route makes it impossible to know whether the potential river crossing or the locations of pipelines and pump stations might adversely affect wetlands in a manner inconsistent with the above LCP policies. Regarding the first appeal issue—the potential presence of wetlands within the project footprint —the project EIR evaluated site wetlands in a manner inconsistent with the Commission's wetland delineation methods.' As a result of the City's reliance on the EIR,the CDP findings do not properly identify the project's potential impacts to wetlands and do not adequately address the project's conformity to these LCP policies. Further, and contrary to Commission staff guidance, observations during a Commission staff site visit, and previous Commission determinations regarding similar wetland issues nearby,the EIR does not adequately examine site hydrology and improperly asserts that wetland vegetation at the site is not acting as wetland 'The City's definition of wetlands is similar to that of the Coastal Commission. The City's General Plan Coastal Element defines wetlands as:"Land which may be covered periodically or permanently with shallow water and includes saltwater marshes,freshwater marshes,open or closed brackish water marshes,mudflats,and fens. Wetlands are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For purposes of this classification,wetlands must have one or more of the following attributes: 1. At least periodically,the land supports predominantly hydrophytes;or 2. The substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil;or I The substrate is non-soil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at sometime during the growing season of each year. xB -497- Item 17. - 17 Appeal No.A-5-BNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 12 of 21 vegetation.10 Because the EIR erroneously concludes that there are no wetland areas that would be affected by the project, the CDP apparently omits the necessary findings regarding those areas and the findings needed to determine the project's conformity to the above policies. At the very least,additional evaluation is necessary to make a conclusive wetland determination at the site and to properly assess the project's conformity to the LCP wetland protection policies. Regarding the second appeal issue about the impacts of project-related noise on nearby wetlands, the City heard testimony at its September 7, 2010 CEQA hearing that the project's noise studies misidentified the baseline noise levels in the project area and underestimated the effects on nearby residences of project-related noise from several types of pumps, construction equipment, and other machinery. At that hearing, Poseidon offered to conduct further studies after the facility started operating and to mitigate for any noise impacts that were at decibel levels above those allowed for residences. This proposed modification, however, does not address likely or potential noise effects on sensitive species in nearby wetland areas that are in some cases closer to the project site than the nearest residences. Some of the EIR's apparently underestimated noise levels at the nearby residences are at or above City noise standards, which suggests that nearby wetland species could experience noise at even higher levels. The EIR identified species known to exist in the wetlands include the endangered Belding's Savannah Sparrow and California least tern, several raptors(Cooper's hawk, Sharp-shinned hawk,Northern harrier, etc.), and other birds. However, the EIR did not identify noise standards for wetlands or environmentally sensitive habitat areas and did not identify those nearby areas as sensitive noise receptors. As a result, the EIR did not evaluate potential noise impacts on species in nearby wetland or environmentally sensitive habitat areas. Because these expected noise levels are likely to disturb or adversely affect various species—e.g., breeding and nesting birds—or may require additional buffering or mitigation measures, the City's findings do not ensure conformity to the above LCP policies. Regarding the third appeal issue about the potential for additional wetland impacts due to subsequent selection of pipeline routes and pump station locations, neither the CDP nor EIR adequately address this issue for purposes of LCP conformity. Because the CDP relies on the inadequate EIR approach to wetland delineation, it is not apparent whether there are additional wetlands that may be affected in or near the possible pipeline routes, and therefore no certainty as to potential impacts or necessary mitigation measures. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City and the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the above policies of the City's certified LCP." 10 The EIR's conclusions contradict site characteristics identified by the Commission's ecologist,Dr.Jonna Engel, on a site visit in the spring of 2009 during which she identified evidence of wetland vegetation and hydrology. 11 Note:In its 2006 Substantial Issue Findings for the previous version of this project,the Commission found that substantial issue existed with respect to the project's consistency with LCP Policy C7.1.3. Item 17. - 18 1413 -498- Appeal No. A-5-H7VB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 13 of 21 SC) Appeallssue:Land Use LCP Policy C 1.2.1 states: "Accommodate existing uses and new development in accordance with the Coastal Element Land Use Plan and the Development and Density Schedule Table C-1." The City's findings state that"[t]he project is consistent with this policy because it is consistent with the Coastal Element Land Use Plan and Density Schedule." The Land Use Plan designates the project site as"Public", and the City states that the project falls within this designation because the project is similar to a utility, which is allowed under this designation.12 Appellants contend that the City's CDP findings regarding this policy are insufficient to determine conformity to the LCP, since the findings merely assert that the project is consistent with the policy. Appellants also contend that the City's approval does not conform to this LCP policy because the project is not an allowable type of development under the Land Use Plan's site designation. Appellants further contend that allowing an industrial and non-public, non-utility use such as this project at this site would require an amendment to the City's LCP. Note: See related appeal issues on land use designation below in Section 5D—Energy Use and Development. The City's application of this policy is inconsistent with the LCP in at least two ways: ® First, the City partially supports its conclusion that the project is similar to a utility by referencing the City's zoning code that allows"water or wastewater treatment plants...and similar facilities of public agencies or public utilities."" However, this zoning code appears to allow only water treatment plants of public agencies or public utilities,which does not include the proposed project. The project is not public, as it is owned by a private entity. The City acknowledges that the project is not subject to oversight or regulation by the state Public Utilities Commission(PUC), so it is not a utility for purposes of state law, and neither the CDP nor the EIR cite the PUC as a permitting or regulating agency." • Second, in some instances,the City's review identifies the project as something other than a utility, including an "industrial use",which is not allowed under the Land Use Plan's site designation.15 The City notes that the project will be subject to a"commercial/industrial" capital fee tax and the EIR incorporates the project's NPDES permit, which describes the project as an"industrial"facility conducting"industrial" activities and allowing the use of affected ocean waters for"industrial service supply"(that permit also specifically exempts 12 Pursuant to the City's Zoning Code at Chapter 214,uses allowed under the Public and Semipublic classification are:Cemetery,Cultural Institutions,General Day Care,Government Offices,Hospitals,Maintenance&Service Facilities,Park&Recreation Facilities,Public Safety Facilities,Religious Assembly,General Residential Care, Public or Private Schools,Major Utilities,and Minor Utilities. "Referenced in the City's findings for LCP Policy C10.1.4. 14 At the time of the City's adoption of the relevant policy,the power plant site was owned by Southern California Edison,which was regulated as a utility by the state Public Utilities Commission. 15 The City's Zoning Code at Section 214.06 prohibits uses that are not listed within the designation. HB -499- Item 17. - 19 Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 14 of 21 those waters from municipal and domestic supply). The U.S. EPA additionally categories the facility for NPDES purposes as an industry.16 The City also notes that the project is subject to state Water Code Section 13142.5,which applies to industrial facilities. Further, Poseidon categorizes itself as something other than a"utility"—for example, in its City business license as a "government administrator of general economic programs"(through SIC Code 9611), and as a"manufacturing/industrial"entity rather than a"utility" in its declarations to the California Secretary of State." Finally,the City and Poseidon have apparently disagreed as to whether the project is subject to certain City taxes or is exempt because Poseidon is a "water corporation,"not a utility. It is therefore not clear from the City's record whether the project is a utility, a non-allowed industrial use, or some other use. At the very least, additional evaluation is necessary to address these inconsistencies and to conclusively determine whether the project conforms to this LCP policy or whether the proposal may require an amendment to the land use designation. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City and the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with LCP Policy C1.2.1 (see also the discussion of the site designation for energy facility expansion in Appeal Issue 5D—Energy Use and Development).` 5D) Appea/Issue:Energy Use and Development LCP Policy C8 state: "Accommodate energy facilities with the intent to promote beneficial effects while mitigating any potential adverse effects. " LCP Policy C8.2.2 states: "Require the mitigation of adverse impacts from new technologies employed in electricity generation to the maximum extent feasible." LCP Policy C8.2.4 states: "Accommodate coastal dependent energy facilities with the Coastal Zone consistent with Sections 30260 through 30264 of the Coastal Act." LCP Policy C8.3.1 states: "Promote the use of solar energy and encourage energy conservation.

Item 17. - 20 HB -500- Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 . Page 15 of 21 The CDP findings for LCP Policy C8 state that the project is configured to accommodate both the existing power plant and its potential future plans to expand or switch to a different cooling system. The City did not evaluate the project for consistency with LCP Policy C8.2.2. For LCP Policy C8.2.4,the City states that the project is not an energy project,but that it has been configured to accommodate an existing energy facility and is therefore consistent with the policy. The City states that the project is consistent with LCP Policy C8.3.1 because the project will reduce energy used to pump water into Orange County(see also Appeal Issue 5E below). Appellants contend that the City's approval is inconsistent with the above policies for several reasons, including inadequate or inaccurate review to determine consistency with these policies and designation under both City and Coastal Commission policies of the entire power plant site as being available for power plant expansion. For LCP Policy C8.3.1, appellants contend that the City's conclusions about net energy use resulting from the project are based on an erroneous analysis and that the project EIR is internally inconsistent regarding this analysis. The City's findings and the supporting EIR do not provide an adequate assessment for determining conformance to these policies. LCP Policy C8.2.4 incorporates by reference Coastal Act policies that designate the entire power plant site, including the area the City slated for the desalination facility, as being available for power plant expansion. The LCP's Coastal Element (at page IV-C-75) additionally states that vacant land adjacent to the power plant provides an opportunity for its potential expansion. The City's findings state only that the project was configured to accommodate the existing plant,with inadequate recognition of potential future expansion. Siting the desalination facility adjacent to the power plant may affect the ability of the plant to expand or to make the upcoming required changes to its cooling system; however, the City's review does not adequately describe how much of the area of the site may be needed for expansion, a new system, or both. Further,because the City did not evaluate the project's potential conflict with LCP Policy C8.2.2, it did not adequately address the project's likely non- conformity with this policy's requirement to address the expected new cooling technology needed at the power plant. Reducing the area available on the site will constrain the plant's options for either expansion or new and less environmentally harmful cooling technology, and therefore is not consistent with the first three policies above." Regarding LCP Policy C8.3.1, and as described in Appeal Issue 5E below,because the City conducted an inaccurate analysis of the project's expected energy use, it downplays the project's likely substantial effects on local energy supplies and is not supportive of energy conservation. Therefore, and based on the record provided by the City, the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP. 19 The Commission previously identified areas inland of the existing power plant as suitable for expansion in its 1978 consideration of a proposal by Southern California Edison to construct additional combined-cycle power units at Huntington Beach. HB -501- Item 17. - 21 Appeal No.A-5-H7VB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 16 of 21 SE) Appeal Issue.Adequate Public Services LCP Policy C1.1.1 states: "With the exception of hazardous industrial development, new development shall be encouraged to be located within, contiguous or in close proximity to, existing developed areas able to accommodate it or, where such areas are not able to accommodate it, in other areas with adequate public services, and where it will not have significant adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively, on coastal resources." LCP Policy C 1.2.3 states: "Prior to the issuance of development entitlement, the City shall make the finding that adequate services (i.e., water, sewer, roads, etc.) can be provided to serve the proposed development, consistent with the policies contained in the Coastal Element, at the time of occupancy." These LCP provisions require in general that new development be sited in areas able to accommodate it or in areas with adequate public services, and that the development not result in significant adverse effects. The City's CDP findings state that the project is consistent with LCP Policy C1.1.1 because it is to be located in close proximity to the Huntington Beach Generating Station and that it is consistent with LCP Policy Cl.2.3 because there are adequate services available. Appellants contend that the City's findings are inadequate to support the project's consistency with the requirements of these LCP policies to avoid potential adverse effects and to ensure the availability of needed public services. Regarding LCP Policy Cl.1.1, which requires that projects avoid significant adverse impacts, the City's approval does not adequately acknowledge or evaluate the expected adverse impacts resulting from the project extending the life of the intake and discharge used by the power plant cooling system. The project would extend and expand the system's impacts to marine life and water quality due to its planned continual use(24 hours per day, 365 days per year) for several additional decades, which represents a significant increase over the power plant system's current relatively intermittent operations and its currently scheduled retirement on or before 2020(see also the discussion of the project's marine life and water quality impacts in Appeal Issue 5A above). Regarding the policies' requirements related to adequate public services,the City's findings essentially state that the project will be consistent with these policies because adequate services can be provided. Those findings refer to Section 4.6—Public Services and Utilities—of the project EIR;however, neither the assertion in the City's findings nor the EIR analyses show that the City's approval is consistent with these policies, particularly as they relate to the facility's expected electricity use. The EIR states that the facility's continual use of from 30 to 35 megawatts of electricity(or about 306,680 megawatt hours per year,which is equal to that used by about a quarter-million households) will result in a net reduction of electricity because the project will eliminate the electricity used by the State Water Project (SWP)to import water into Orange County—that is, because the project will provide 56,000 acre-feet of water annually for Orange County, the SWP will reduce its pumping and its electricity demand. Item 17. - 22 H13 -502- Appeal No. A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 17 of 21 For several reasons, however,the City's analysis and conclusion are incorrect and understate the project's impact on local electricity supplies 20 First,no element of the project ensures reduced SWP water imports into Southern California or Orange County, so there is no basis for the City's assumption of reduced electricity use, either locally or at the state level. As the Coastal Commission determined earlier this year regarding Poseidon's similar assertions for its Carlsbad project,21 the project does not ensure a one-for-one reduction of water imports to Southern California and would therefore not necessarily reduce electricity use. Further, even if the SWP were to reduce its electrical use due to the project, the project itself would continue to demand 30 to 35 megawatts of electricity. The EIR bases its review on the project obtaining electricity from either the adjacent power plant or from the grid; however, neither the EIR nor the CDP assess how the desalination facility's local demand on electricity from the power plant would affect coastal resources and how or whether such use would conform to the requirement of LCP Policy C.1.2.3 to be consistent with the City's Coastal Element policies. For example, if the power plant produces more electricity than it would otherwise to provide power to the adjacent desalination facility, it would result in more entrainment than it would otherwise, at least until the power plant's current cooling system is retired. However, neither the City's CDP nor EIR identifies measures to avoid or mitigate this impact, and the resulting increased operations of the power plant may not be consistent with the marine biology provisions of the City's Coastal Element. Appellants additionally contend that the City's approval does not conform to LCP Policy C1.2.3 because the City did not identify a selected pipeline route for the project, and it is therefore not possible to determine whether pipeline-related impacts and needed mitigation for those impacts will conform to that policy. Depending on the yet-to-be selected route,the project could cause additional adverse effects due to a potential river crossing or due to the likelihood of liquefaction along some areas of the route. Either of those elements could require more substantial excavations or construction methods than contemplated by the City, and those methods could result in more significant harm or disruption to public services than was addressed in the City's review. For example, evidence provided to the City during its review suggests that pipeline placement along roadways in areas with high liquefaction potential could require much more extensive excavations(in both width and depth)than the City evaluated,which could lead to major public access disruptions and could render all or some of the routes infeasible. It is not apparent from the record that the City adequately considered this information(see also Appeal Issue 5G below). 20 Note:The City's analysis for these policies is also inconsistent with its findings regarding the project's growth- inducing impacts. See Appeal Issue 5H below. 21 See the Commission's"Final Adopted Findings for R2-E-06-13—Request For Revocation on Poseidon's Carlsbad Desalination Facility",February 2010. The Commission found for the Carlsbad project,which uses the same proposed approach as this Huntington Beach proposal for energy and greenhouse gas reduction,that,at best, the region's main water importer—the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California—might occasionally forego marginal transfers or purchases of imported water if it deems Poseidon's supply more suitable. Additionally, many of those transfers or purchases are not necessarily foregone, but are instead stored for later transport to Southern California,which would require the use of electricity that the CDP incorrectly presumes would not be needed. xB -503- Item 17. - 23 Appeal No. 4-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 18 of 21 Therefore,based on the record provided by the City, the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above,the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the above policies of the City's certified LCP.22 5.F) Appeal Issue.Effects on Public Recreation LCP Policy C3.1 states: "Preserve,protect, and enhance, where feasible, existing public recreation sites in the Coastal Zone." The City's findings state that the project is consistent with this policy because it will have a negligible impact on parks and recreational facilities. With regard to the project's effects on fishing due to its intake of seawater and its discharge of high-salinity effluent,the CDP states that fish with high commercial or recreational value are uncommon in the source water and that nearby areas do not support sensitive species. Applicants contend that the project's continuance of the system used by the power plant to draw in and discharge seawater causes adverse effects that run counter to this policy's requirement to protect existing recreational fishing opportunities. Regarding the intake, and as noted by the appellants, the City's findings are inconsistent with conclusions of numerous state and federal agencies about the adverse effects of open water intakes on marine life. The findings are also inconsistent with the entrainment study done at this power plant showing its effects on commercially-and recreationally-important species, such as halibut, crab, and others. The most recent entrainment study for the power plant showed that the intake drew in and killed organisms originating along the Southern California shoreline from up to several dozen miles away, which is a much larger source water area than considered in the City's findings. Regarding the discharge, concerns raised during the City's review include the potential that the project's high-salinity effluent will adversely affect marine life. The effluent's salinity concentration is expected to be about 40 parts per thousand, which is about 20 percent higher than ambient seawater salinity and about 10 percent higher than naturally-occurring variability. Discharge modeling shows that the project will create areas of higher than natural salinity covering from about five to several dozen acres of nearshore benthic habitat, and affecting similarly-sized areas of the nearshore water column. The City's findings state that this would not represent substantial ecological effects or water quality degradation because those immediate areas do not include special biological areas or endangered or threatened species and because many of the species present in the nearby waters are also present in higher-salinity waters elsewhere—e.g., in the Gulf of California. However,this conclusion does not address the likelihood that local organisms not acclimated to higher salinities may avoid areas within the effluent plume, resulting in loss of foraging habitat as well as loss of recreational fishing opportunities within that area. The findings also state that any species exposed to elevated salinities would have low exposure times and that the areas represent insubstantial foraging areas; however,the City has not cited in situ tests or monitoring results to support such findings. 22 Note:In its 2006 Substantial Issue Findings for the previous version of this project,the Commission found that substantial issue existed with respect to the project's consistency with LCP policy C1.2.3. Item 17. - 24 HB -504- Appeal No.A-5-11NB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 19 of 21 Therefore, and based on the record provided by the City,the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above,the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP. 5G) Appeal Issue.Adequate Protection Against Seismic Events and Liquefaction LCP Policy C10.1.4 states: "Require appropriate engineering and building practices for all new structures to withstand ground shaking and liquefaction such as those stated in the Uniform Building Code." The City's findings state that its approval provides consistency with this policy because it requires the project to meet all appropriate and adequate building standards related to ground shaking and liquefaction and because it will be consistent with applicable provisions of the Uniform Building Code. Appellants contend that the City's findings are inadequate because the project does not yet include an identified pipeline route,and the City can therefore not yet determine what measures are needed to withstand potential liquefaction. Appellants further contend that the City did not adequately address testimony provided at its September 7, 2010 CEQA hearing documenting that the City's approval would not sufficiently avoid liquefaction impacts. The EIR review is based on pipelines being located largely within existing public streets, easements,or other rights-of-way and states that the alignments will not disturb native vegetation or adversely affect sensitive resources. It identifies anticipated traffic effects as being limited to no more than two traffic lanes during construction, and further states that a project-specific geotechnical evaluation will be needed before pipelines are placed. At the same time, the City has identified the project site and the entire area surrounding the power plant site, including portions of likely pipeline routes, as having high liquefaction potential." Testimony provided to the City suggests that soil and subsurface characteristics within potential pipeline routes may require trenching that is much more extensive(in both width and depth)that evaluated in the EIR and may require a type of fill that is incompatible with roadways. Both the additional trenching and alternative fill could result in significant disruptions to traffic and coastal access, as well as substantially increase the project's construction-related and air quality impacts. It does not appear that the City evaluated these concerns sufficiently to ensure conformity to this LCP policy, and, in fact, put off until some future date the geotechnical analysis needed to identify and mitigate potential impacts. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City,the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP. 23 See the"Liquefaction Potential"Map at page IV-C-93 of the City's General Plan Coastal Element. 1-18 -505- Item 17. - 25 Appeal No. A-5-H7VB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 20 of 21 5H) Appea/Issue:Mitigation to the Maximum ExtentFeasihle LCP Policy C1.1 states: "Ensure that adverse impacts associated with coastal zone development are mitigated or minimized to the greatest extent feasible." The City's findings for this LCP Policy state that all the project's potential adverse impacts have either been mitigated or have been minimized to the greatest extent feasible.24 As described in the appeal issues above, appellants contend that the City failed to address or adequately mitigate many of the project's potential or likely impacts, resulting in non-conformity with the above- referenced policies as well as with LCP Policy C1.1. In addition, appellants contend that the City's findings are contradictory with regards to the project's anticipated growth-inducement, and that these contradictory findings prevent conformity to this policy. The City evaluates the project both as not being growth-inducing—for example, in its analyses of the project's electrical use and greenhouse gas emissions—and as being growth-inducing—in the EIR's discussion of growth-inducement and the associated Statement of Overriding Considerations. The City's analyses inconsistently determined both that the project would provide"replacement water"—that is, it would only replace an existing source of water—as well as"new water"—that is, it would result in new water being brought into the area, resulting in potential additional growth. As a result of this inconsistency, it is not clear that the City's review evaluated all potential mitigation measures that may be needed to address the project's impacts. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City, the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above,the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP. H) Appea/Issue: Coasta/Dependency LCP Policy C1.1.2 states: "Coastal dependent developments shall have priority over other developments on or near the shoreline. Coastal-related developments should be accommodated within reasonable proximity of the coastal-dependent uses they support. " The City's findings state that the project is a coastal-dependent development because it needs to be sited on or adjacent to the ocean in order to function at all. The City states the project is similar to other coastal-dependent developments, such as electrical generating facilities, refineries, and offshore oil and gas production. Appellants contend that the City is incorrect in categorizing the project as coastal-dependent since it does not need to be "on or adjacent to the sea in order to function at all."" 24 The findings also note,however,that the City adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations to address adverse impacts related to growth-inducement and construction that have not been mitigated to a level of insignificance. 25 The City's Coastal Element defines"coastal dependent"as"any development or use which requires a site on,or adjacent to,the sea to be able to function at all." Item 17. - 26 HB -506- f' Appeal No.A-5-HNB-10-225 November 4, 2010 Page 21 of 21 While the current proposed project would rely in part on existing coastal-dependent infrastructure—i.e.,the intake and discharge of the power plant—the desalination facility itself would be located about a quarter-mile from the ocean, not"on or adjacent" to the ocean. Further, as evidenced by many desalination facilities that are similarly set back from the shoreline and by many inland desalters that draw brackish water from inland aquifers, desalination facilities do not necessarily require a location"on or adjacent"to the ocean. The City's findings do not make it clear that this particular project is coastal dependent. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City,the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that a substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with the City's certified LCP. 6. APPEAL ISSUES NOT RAISING SUBSTANTIAL ISSUE 6A) Appeal issue: Water Conservation LCP Policy C6.1.12 states: "Periodically review the City's policies on water conservation, including the Water Conservation Ordinance, to ensure the use of state of the art conservation measures for new development and redevelopment, and retrofitting of existing development, where feasible and appropriate, to implement these measures." The City states that the project is consistent with this policy in that it must comply with applicable provisions of the City's Water Conservation Ordinance. Appellants contend the City's approval is inconclusive regarding consistency with this policy. The policy primarily provides direction to the City to ensure it updates elements of City requirements related to water conservation. The City's Water Conservation Ordinance is one of those elements, and includes conservation provisions applicable to new and existing development, such as limits on water use, timing of landscape.watering, limits on new development during severe declared water shortages, and other similar measures. Because the policy provides guidance to the City rather than to particular new projects,the City's approval does not result in an inconsistency with this policy. Further, as noted in the City's findings, the approved project will be subject to applicable provisions of the Water Conservation Ordinance. Therefore, based on the record provided by the City, the information provided by the appellants, and for the reasons cited above, the Commission finds that no substantial issue exists with respect to the project's consistency with LCP Policy C6.1.12. KB -507- Item 17. - 27 Hi Joan, I am submitting this revised letter as the letter I would like the City Council to discuss sending to the California Coastal Commission as part of my H item. This letter will be the one I ask the council to consider, not the more detailed letter I originally submitted with the H-item at our agenda review meeting. Thanks, Connie Boardman Mayor, City of Huntington Beach SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION Meeting Date ( ./i/a Agenda Item No._______I - May 6, 2013 California Coastal Commission 45 Fremont Street, Suite 2000 San Francisco, CA 94105 Dear Commissioners: In 2010, the Huntington Beach City Council approved the Coastal Development Permit No. 10-014, conditionally approving the "Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project" (Poseidon CDP). The city's approval of the Poseidon CDP was appealed by several organizations, as well as Commissioners Wan and Mirkarimi. I have been authorized by the Huntington Beach City Council to communicate to you that the current Huntington Beach City Council does not support the project as it is currently presented. We are requesting that the California Coastal Commission deny the Coastal Development Permit for the Poseidon desalination project in Huntington Beach when this issue comes before the Commission. Sincerely, Connie Boardman Mayor City of Huntington Beach *� P O S E I D O N R E S O U R C E S May 6, 2013 City Council City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach,CA 92648 Re:Huntington Beach Desalination Project—May 6,2013 Agenda Item No. 17 Dear Mayor and City Council Members: I am writing with regard to the proposal that the Council send a letter to the California Coastal Commission requesting denial of a Coastal Development Permit for the Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project. We believe such action would violate the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the Coastal Act. Beyond the legal implications of such a letter,however, the Council's action would seek to deny the City and the County of Orange a new local, drought-proof water supply together with a very significant basket of financial benefits and much needed local jobs. The City of Huntington Beach must import 30% of its water supply to meet demand. The first quarter of 2013 has been the driest period in California on record, going back to 1895. Today California's snowpack- snowmelt provides one-third of California's water needs- is 17%of normal. Drought-like conditions are depleting state reservoirs and with a dry summer Orange County could soon be faced with mandatory water curtailments. Previous City Councils and state permitting agencies have found that the construction and operation of the Project will comply fully with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and any environmental impacts will be fully mitigated. We urge the Council to thoughtfully consider the Project's extensive permitting history and acknowledge the consequences for the City's General Fund, regional economy and Huntington Beach's water ratepayers. A City Council action seeking to prevent the Project's construction will jeopardize a needed drought-proof water supply and a suite of benefits worth over$130 million to the City and its residents. These benefits include: ➢ $8,347,009 paid to the City prior to the Project's commercial operation, ➢ $26,506,000 one-time capital cost avoidance ➢ $422,000 annual General Fund pipeline franchise feet Y $2,000,000 minimum annual property taxi 1 City of Huntington Beach Entitlement and Plan Amendment 10-001;approved September 2010 'Estimated fee during first year of operation;inflates annually with CPI per Pipeline Franchise Agreement; approved September 2010 SUPPLEMENTAL Poseidon Resources COMMUNICATION 17011 Bt`ach Boulevard.Suite 900,Huntington Reach,CA 92647.USN ` / 714-596-7946 Fax.714-596-7947 MoOng Date.

This option guarantees that when the desalination project comes online Huntington Beach residents will be paying less for imported water than they would without the Project. This benefit alone is estimated to save the City's ratepayers$80,000,000 dollars over the 30-year term of the project. Furthermore, the Project's capital budget is estimated to be$900,000,000. This budget represents a 100%private investment in Huntington Beach's and Orange County's water supply. Over the course of the Project's construction phase over 2,100 jobs will be generated and over$500 million infused into the regional economy. Past City Councils have carefully considered the economic and water security benefits to the City and the County and found the Project to be in the best interests of the community. Various state regulatory agencies have and will continue to consider all environmental impacts and require the project to minimize and mitigate these impacts to a level consistent with all laws and regulations. We therefore do not understand the basis for the current Council to take the proposed action. Not only would it ignore the considerable effort taken in the past to structure a set of financial benefits for the City,but it also sends a deeply negative message to businesses and the investment community about the business climate in Huntington Beach. We fully recognize that individual council members may have personal views on the Project, and we would encourage council members as individuals to express their opinion to the Coastal Commission. The City, however, should not be put in the untenable position of reversing its prior actions of support for the project and taking a stance against a proposal which offers such considerable financial,water security, and job creation benefits.

This Letter requests that the Coastal Development Permit("CDP")for the Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project("Project"), (previously approved by the Huntington Beach City Council and pending on appeal to the Commission), be denied by the Commission. This letter is posted as Item No. 17 on the Council's agenda for May 6, 2013. Individual Council members are obviously free to express their opinions directly to the Commission regarding the Project. However, it would be a violation of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the Coastal Act for the City Council to take collective action regarding the Project while the appeal of the CDP is pending before the Commission. Additionally, if Councilmembers are going to vote on the merits of the project, it is important that they do so only after having familiarized themselves with the full,administrative record, and after appropriate public notice and an opportunity for the public and Poseidon to comment regarding any proposal. Much like a trial court relinquishes jurisdiction over a decision appealed to a reviewing court, the City Council lacks jurisdiction to reconsider or modify its approval of a final CDP that has been appealed to the Commission. See Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 30600.5(d), 30603 (creating process for appeal of CDPs to Commission). The applicable Local Coastal Plan ("LCP") provides no mechanism for Council reconsideration of a CDP approval. Moreover, the LCP indicates that the City Council is not an appropriate party to challenge an approved CDP. See Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance ("ZSO") § 245.32(C) ("An appeal pursuant to this chapter may be filed only by the applicant for the [CDP] in question, an I SD\1 312686.3 May 6,2013 Page 2 LATHAM&WATKI NSLLP tir r aggrieved person, or any 2 members of the Coastal Commission."). A change in political will cannot constitute new or changed facts to justify reconsideration. See Arnel Development Co. v. City of Costa Mesa, 126 Cal. App. 3d 330 (1981) ("Having only months earlier duly enacted an ordinance rezoning the property consistent with the general and specific plans for the express purpose of permitting the development, had the city council later attempted, without any significant change in circumstances and without considering appropriate planning criteria, to rezone the property for the sole purpose of defeating the development, the subsequent rezoning ordinance would undoubtedly be held invalid as arbitrary and discriminatory."). Second, the Letter incorrectly characterizes the City Council's 2010 approval of CDP No. 10-014 as "conditionally approving" the Project. Under Section 245.24(A) of the ZSO, the City's approval of the CDP was a final City action, complete with substantial findings in favor of the Project. See also Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 30603(d) ("A local government taking an action on a [CDP] shall send notification of its final action to the [C]ommission by certified mail within seven calendar days from the date of taking the action."). While the CDP does include reasonable terms and conditions to ensure that the Project will be constructed and operated in accordance with the Coastal Act, such conditions are routine and do not mean that an approved CDP containing such conditions is not"final." See Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 30607 (discussing terms and conditions of CDPs). Additionally, the Letter does not comply with basic due process rights. The City originally posted a five-page letter with attachments on its website for the May 6, 2013 Council agenda. On May 2, 2013, only two business days before the Council meeting and without any notice or explanation, Poseidon became aware that the Council would be considering and voting upon a completely different advocacy letter. Surely Poseidon deserves a greater opportunity than this to respond to whatever the Council's concerns may be, which we note, are not even set forth in the proposed Letter. We also note that due process requires that the person or body who decides a matter must review the evidence. See Morgan v. United States, 298 U.S. 468, 481 (1936) (stating that"[t]he one who decides must hear"); Cooper v. State Bd. of Medical Examiners, 35 Cal. 2d 242, 246 (1950) (decisionmaker must be acquainted with the record); Old Santa Barbara Pier Co. v. State of California, 71 Cal. App. 3d 250, 255-56 (1977) (decisionmaker must be familiar with presentation made at earlier meeting and with the material relating to an appeal). No opportunity has been provided for the current Councilmembers to review all the evidence that was previously submitted to the City and considered as part of the City's approval of the CDP. In addition, all of the evidence that has been submitted to the Coastal Commission as part of the pending appeal has not been submitted to or reviewed by the Council. As written, the Letter seems to involve some type of decision, based on a"review" of evidence and findings, by the Council. For the reasons stated above, this type of"decision" would be inappropriate and violate the Coastal Act and other legal requirements. 2 SDU 312686.3 May 6,2013 Page 3 LATHAM&WATKINSLLP Thank you for your consideration of these issues.

The Subsequent EIR that has been completed and will be under your consideration soon will provide Poseidon the opportunity to draw water for the desalination facility. In light of the recent legal decision against once- through cooling, this new plan makes sense. As a chemistry teacher I know that desalination using the reverse osmosis technique is environmentally sound. The design and landscaping planned will certainly improve that industrial area and our special oceanfront, and the new water storage units will be a major asset to our community in an emergency. Since 1968 1 have enjoyed living in Huntington Beach, and volunteering in community environmental affairs. As one of many quiet but dedicated environmentalists in the area, I urge you to approve the project and support the construction of this water treatment facility in Huntington Beach.

Request type: Comment Request area: City Council - Agenda& Public Hearing Comments Citizen name: Joe Geever Description: Dear Mayor Boardman and City Council Members: I am writing to support the City council in writing a letter to the Coastal Commission recommending denial of the Poseidon-Huntington Seawater Desalination proposal. I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re- charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future.

Desalination Plant CUP/EIR Comments HB Tomorrow has reviewed the EIR, EIR responses and CUP/EIR staff reports. Our findings are as follows: The discharge of reverse osmosis train first flush effluent to the ocean outfall in lieu of the OCSD sewer line has not been adequately assessed. Disposal of first flush effluent to the ocean should be denied as an acceptable alternative to disposal through the OCSD system. The noise control conditions have insufficient remedial action if exceeded. Continuous monitoring and recording of noise levels by the applicant should be required for the life of the facility to ensure required noise levels are not exceeded. Loss of tax revenue if this plant is sold or taken over by a governmental or other non-taxable entity is unacceptable. The loss of tax revenue is especially crucial since the facility is in a redevelopment area that was formed to tax advantage of property tax increments to finance local area improvements. A condition of approval is needed requiring the applicant to agree to a binding contractual commitment or covenant which requires this and any future property owner to pay property taxes or equivalent tax in-lieu payments. The financial and health impacts of the construction and use of the proposed pipe line to Costa Mesa on the citizens of this city has not been assessed and mitigation measures delineated. The elements of a franchise agreement that adequately compensates the city and its citizens for use of public property should be known and agreed upon prior to project approval. Recommendation: Continue action on the EIR and conditional use permit until conditions of approval are developed that satisfactorily address the above concerns.

HBT reviewed the document and finds information missing and insufficiencies in the proposal. This new draft of the Poseidon EIR still does not meet the standard necessary for certification. • The EIR does not discuss the viability of other methods of providing water as alternatives to the Poseidon facility. These alternatives include expanded residential and commercial conservation efforts, agricultural conservation, water recycling, and groundwater and beach well desalination. • It does not include a comparison of the environmental impacts and efficiencies of production of Poseidon's proposed desalination plan to alternative methods. • Desalination by reverse osmosis (RO) has not been proven practical at this scale anywhere in the country. Most existing RO plants, such as in Carlsbad CA, are a fraction of the size of the proposed Poseidon plant and therefore cannot be used as a true comparison of its functionality and impacts. Since the only other plant near to the size of the proposed Poseidon plant is the recently completed Tampa Florida facility, its major operational difficulties and deficiencies and cost overruns should be evaluated to assess what environmental impacts they have caused. What environmental impacts has the Tampa project created? And how do they apply to this project? • There are still no specifics in this EIR stating who will be the actual recipient of the water generated by Poseidon. • The EIR does not specify what measures Poseidon will take to ensure its claim that production will be used to meet existing needs rather than acting as a catalyst of more growth in Orange County. • The EIR states that since Poseidon uses AES's ocean water intake, there should be no new restrictions on that intake, such as improvements to AES's high level of impingement. If this were approved: o How would limiting restrictions to improvements affect currently required impingement studies, i.e. as part of AES's retooling of Units 3 and 4? o What effect would limiting restrictions to improvements have on requiring AES to modify the intake to meet current standards? o What effect would limiting restrictions to improvements have on requiring AES to update its facilities to comply with future standards? • The EIR states that if the AES plant were to cease to operate, Poseidon would reserve the right to keep AES's ocean water intake lines, discharge lines, and main ocean water pumps. The EIR doesn't disclose where these pumps would be located. The EIR doesn't delineate a process of conversion to a completely self-contained Poseidon. Where would the, pumps be located? What would the process be to convert to a Poseidon-only facility? What agency would have jurisdiction over the regulation of the facility under those circumstances? The EIR should discuss these issues in detail. ® The EIR states that in some cases process water (water involved in cleaning of the system) would be allowed to go back into the ocean without treatment. Under what circumstances would untreated process water be allowed to go back into the ocean? How often would this happen? Why should this be allowed? ® For safety of adjacent residents, the 1,000-gallon ammonia tank located outside on the plant grounds should be located in a building so that if a catastrophic failure of the tank were to occur for whatever reason, the resulting ammonia leak could be contained. The EIR fails to address impacts on the OCSD systems. What effects will the additional load from this plant have on OCSD systems, especially in terms of how it will affect OCSD's ability to handle dry-weather runoff treatment? What long-term damaging effects will the chemicals in the discharge from the plant have on OCSD pipelines and/or plant? ® The EIR gives conflicting information about the plant's operating hours. In some portions, it talks about it running primarily at night to take advantage of cheaper energy, but in other portions, it talks about how the plant will run 24/7. Why is there a contradiction? What will the hours of operation be? While there are numerous other areas of concern, HBT submits that these issues and unanswered questions alone are sufficient to deny certification of this draft of the EIR and to require further development of the EIR to satisfy the aforementioned concerns. HBT recommends the EIR not be certified without the missing information and favorable answers to these questions being provided.

SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION moeft Date:—= Agetxla nern No. 1 From: CHRISTOPHER.GARRETT(a LW.com [mai Ito:CHRISTOPH ER.GARRETT@ LW.com] Sera: Monday, May 06, 2013 12:10 PM To: Vigliotta, Mike Subject: Letter to City Council re Agenda Item No. 17, consideration of Boardman letter Dear Mr. Vigliotta: Thank you for returning my call this morning. As discussed, I am a lawyer representing Poseidon Resources (Surfside) LLC. Poseidon believes that proposed Agenda Item 17 on the Huntington Beach City Council for this evening, Monday May 6, 2012, is contrary to law and intends to exercise its legal rights and remedies if the Council were to take collective action to adopt the item. For purposes of the Brown Act, please consider this email and the attached letter to be"threatened"or "potential litigation"which would justify a closed session item on this matter with the City Council during the Council's closed session meeting today at 4:30 pm.. To address our legal concerns and to remove the threat of potential litigation by any interested parties, we suggest that Agenda Item 17 be modified to remove all references to collective action by the City Council as a whole, so that it would instead be a discussion of potential letters that members of the Council might individually send to the Commission regarding the Poseidon project. We believe that any action by the Council to take action as a collective body on the Poseidon project at its meeting tonight would violate the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, the Coastal Act, the approved Local Coastal Program, and the Brown Act. The Council is also without jurisdiction to take action since the matter concerns a pending appeal before the Coastal Commission. Agenda Item 17 raises the same legal issues concerning jurisdiction to"reconsider" prior decisions, (and requirements under the Brown Act, the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the State Planning and Zoning law regarding requirement for prior notice to the public and the applicant whenever a local agency proposes to take collective action regarding an applicant's project)---as the City of Huntington Beach faced in the recent litigation with the Pacific Mobile Home Park in Orange County Superior Court. See the news article referenced below. http:l/www.ocregister.com/articles/court-408761-council-city.htm I Given the City's familiarity with these issues due to this recent litigation, we do not believe any reasonable attorney or reasonable City Councilmember could now have a"good faith" belief that Agenda Item 17 is in compliance with the law and was not a violation of due process and Poseidon's procedural rights granted under federal state and local law.. Since the Council lacks jurisdiction to take any collective action on the Poseidon project as this time, and because of the lack of proper notice to the public and Poseidon even if there were jurisdiction, we do not believe that the Council can cure any defects by accepting public comments at the time it discusses Agenda Item 17 and other"Councilmember Items," rather than taking comments on Item 17 at the start of the meeting during the overall public comment period. The only way to remedy the defects in Item 17 is to remove any references to collective action by the City Council as suggested above.

Councilmember Joe Shaw Milan Councilmember Dave Sullivan File No.036182-0008 City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project Dear Mayor Boardman, Mayor Pro Tem Harper, and Honorable City Council Members: I write on behalf of my client,Poseidon Resources (Surfside)LLC ("Poseidon"), with regard to Mayor Boardman's proposed letter("Letter")to the California Coastal Commission ("Commission"). This Letter requests that the Coastal Development Permit("CDP") for the Poseidon Seawater Desalination Project("Project"), (previously approved by the Huntington Beach City Council and pending on appeal to the Commission),be denied by the Commission. This letter is posted as Item No. 17 on the Council's agenda for May 6, 2013. Individual Council members are obviously free to express their opinions directly to the Commission regarding the Project. However, it would be a violation of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code and the Coastal Act for the City Council to take collective action regarding the Project while the appeal of the CDP is pending before the Commission. Additionally, if Councilmembers are going to vote on the merits of the project, it is important that they do so only after having familiarized themselves with the full administrative record, and after appropriate public notice and an opportunity for the public and Poseidon to comment regarding any proposal. Much like a trial court relinquishes jurisdiction over a decision appealed to a reviewing court,the City Council lacks jurisdiction to reconsider or modify its approval of a final CDP that has been appealed to the Commission. See Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 30600.5(d), 30603 (creating process for appeal of CDPs to Commission). The applicable Local Coastal Plan("LCP") provides no mechanism for Council reconsideration of a CDP approval. Moreover,the LCP indicates that the City Council is not an appropriate party to challenge an approved CDP. See Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance("ZSO") § 245.32(C) ("An appeal pursuant to this chapter may be filed only by the applicant for the [CDP] in question,an 1 SD\1312686.3 May 6,2013 Page 2 LATHAM&WATKI NSLLP aggrieved person, or any 2 members of the Coastal Commission.").A change in political will cannot constitute new or changed facts to justify reconsideration. See Arnel Development Co. v. City of Costa Mesa, 126 Cal.App. 3d 330(1981) ("Having only months earlier duly enacted an ordinance rezoning the property consistent with the general and specific plans for the express purpose of permitting the development, had the city council later attempted,without any significant change in circumstances and without considering appropriate planning criteria,to rezone the property for the sole purpose of defeating the development,the subsequent rezoning ordinance would undoubtedly be held invalid as arbitrary and discriminatory."). Second, the Letter incorrectly characterizes the City Council's 2010 approval of CDP No. 10-014 as"conditionally approving"the Project. Under Section 245.24(A)of the ZSO,the City's approval of the CDP was a final City action,complete with substantial findings in favor of the Project. See also Cal.Pub. Res. Code § 30603(d) ("A local government taking an action on a [CDP] shall send notification of its final action to the [C]ommission by certified mail within seven calendar days from the date of taking the action."). While the CDP does include reasonable terms and conditions to ensure that the Project will be constructed and operated in accordance with the Coastal Act, such conditions are routine and do not mean that an approved CDP containing such conditions is not"final." See Cal. Pub.Res. Code § 30607 (discussing terms and conditions of CDPs). Additionally,the Letter does not comply with basic due process rights. The City originally posted a five-page letter with attachments on its website for the May 6,2013 Council agenda. On May 2,2013, only two business days before the Council meeting and without any notice or explanation,Poseidon became aware that the Council would be considering and voting upon a completely different advocacy letter. Surely Poseidon deserves a greater opportunity than this to respond to whatever the Council's concerns may be,which we note, are not even set forth in the proposed Letter. We also note that due process requires that the person or body who decides a matter must review the evidence. See Morgan v. United States, 298 U.S. 468,481 (1936) (stating that"[t]he one who decides must hear"); Cooper v. State Bd. of Medical Examiners, 35 Cal. 2d 242, 246 (1950) (decisionmaker must be acquainted with the record); Old Santa Barbara Pier Co. v. State of California, 71 Cal.App. 3d 250,255-56(1977) (decisionmaker must be familiar with presentation made at earlier meeting and with the material relating to an appeal). No opportunity has been provided for the current Councilmembers to review all the evidence that was previously submitted to the City and considered as part of the City's approval of the CDP. In addition, all of the evidence that has been submitted to the Coastal Commission as part of the pending appeal has not been submitted to or reviewed by the Council. As written, the Letter seems to involve some type of decision, based on a"review"of evidence and findings,by the Council. For the reasons stated above,this type of"decision" would be inappropriate and violate the Coastal Act and other legal requirements. 2 SD11312686.3 May 6,2013 Page 3 LATHAM&WATKI NSLLP Thank you for your consideration of these issues.

Request type: Compliment Request area: City Council - Agenda& Public Hearing Comments Citizen name: Tom Polkow Description: Just a note to say thank you to the majority of members who voted on the substitute motion regarding item 17, to stop the irresponsible and illegal (IMO) attempt to send a collective letter (aka, last ditch monkey wrench) to the Coastal Commission opposing the Poseidon project, which has already been fully and painfully vetted, and approved twice. Especially refreshing were Mayor Pro Tern Harper's comments on the matter, bringing common sense and sanity to a matter that's been rife with misinformation and red herrings from the opposition, for far too long. I thoroughly agree that desal IS the future, and it's such a shame that in America the uninformed (IMO) opposition has slowed down progress for so long. Yes, projections are that our 25 year water future is secure BUT those projections assume that desalination plants will be in the mix. After all, Poseidon is on schedule to be built eventually, so it -- and even more desal plants in OC -- are included in the predictions, though this fact seems to elude several of the council members.

The members and constituents of Plumbers Steamfitters U.A. Local 582 have been yearning for the construction of the Poseidon Desalination Plant for more than three (3) years. So much so that the plant is brought up at union meetings and many other forums, constantly! These discussions are also held by other U.A. Locals, such as Steam & Refrigeration Fitters Local 250, Landscape/Irrigation Pipe Fitters Local 345, and Fire Sprinkler Fitters Local 709. All these, and many more organizations have been devastated by the lack of construction jobs in Orange County. Denying the desalination project would bring even more desperation to an already fragile economy. Supporting the project would not only provide fresh clean drinking water, but assure the lifting of the local economy, providing good paying jobs and benefits. Sincerely, uu �� Glen J.

We currently host an electrical power plant and two sanitation plants in our neighborhood. Do you really think we should bear the brunt of another facility that will produce tons of waste, salt and pollution for our kids and future? This plant will not even benefit us with cheaper or better water— it will all go to Costa Mesa/Newport. Why not put the plant in Costa Mesa then? How about Newport? None of these cities have a power plants or sanitation — don't you think it is high time that they contribute some land, increased traffic and waste remediation to the system that supports us all? We have done our fair share and we continue to do so... Please do the right thing for our city! We have been a industrious city for many years but it is time to start changing our great city into a clean, tourist centered beach town that is an environmentally conscience place that our people want for our future. Please step up and oppose the Poseidon project from a company with a track record of failure.

This is a direct result of our city government's "revenue at all cost" policies. Myself and all of my neighbors are apposed to the Poseidon project. Please listen to the citizens of Huntington Beach and support the motion.

I am a long-time HB resident and I have always been against this project. It brings nothing to the city but problems and harms our precious marine life. HB has a very healthy dolphin population and I worry about them the most with this project. The bi-products left behind after this process are guaranteed to be hazardous to our marine life not to mention the eye- sore that plant itself would be. The only one that benefits from this is Poseidon and they are not a part of our community so why are we letting them come in destroy such a valuable asset. Please vote no on this project! ! Thank you.

The desalination plant will kill the marine life that is sucked in with the ocean water needed for desalination, dump millions of gallons of concentrated brine and chemicals into the ocean, add more industry to SEHB which will result more air and noise pollution,and could affect the city's tourism business.

Honorable Huntington Beach City Councilman Jim Katapodis; As a sitting member of the HBCC, you have a fiduciary responsibility to support Mayor Connie Boardman's letter to the Ca Coastal Commission requesting that the CDP for the Poseidon Resources project be denied. • In Poseidon Resources attempts to fund the Carlsbad facility, S&P rated their proposed construction bonds as "BBB —" and given "Junk Bond" status. Poseidon Resources simply did not have the financial wherewithal to fund the Carlsbad Desal project independently. No bond buyers from the investment community stepped forward to purchase these Bonds. • As a newly elected HBCC member, you should require that Poseidon Resources provide complete current audited Financial Statements including Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow statement to determine their creditworthiness. • At present, there are no "buyers" for their desal water as they have asked the various water districts to sign nonbinding contracts. If it's a nonbinding contract, it's simply not legal. So where is the customer support. • Where are the Performance Bond, Completion Bond, and Standby Letter of Credit from Poseidon Resources to build the HB desal plant. Poseidon Resources failed and defaulted in Tampa as the Tampa Water Authority had to take over the project as those costs were at the expense of the rate paying taxpayer. What has the city of Huntington Beach done to prevent Poseidon Resources from defaulting and sailing out into the ocean on this project? Nothing.

Most Honorable Mayor Joe Carchio; As a city taxpayer residing in SEHB, there are several questions that need to be answered concerning Poseidon Resources. • Am well aware that you have taken political contributions from Poseidon Resources and have attended their various functions both as mayor and a sitting HB City Councilman. You have personally told us that you are not being swayed by these perks. • What has Poseidon Resources done for the taxpaying residents of HB and SEHB? • As a highly successful businessman and using your business financial expertise, how can you justify the building by Poseidon Resources of a desal plant when you have not seen any financial information on them. Remember, if you enter into a contract with a company that has a negative net worth, you have no recourse from the legal system. • How can you justify building a plant, when Poseidon Resources has no customers with legally signed contracts, not the nonbinding ones that they are now promoting as you are keenly aware owing to your relationship with Poseidon Resources? Since you have received financial considerations, and other perks from Poseidon Resources, should you not consider abstaining on voting on this measure for ethical reasons and conflicts of interest?

Many questions remain concerning the issue of Poseidon Resources coming into our city and demanding to build a Desal plant that they do not even have customers for to purchase their desal water. • What has Poseidon Resources done for the citizens of HB let alone the taxpayers of SEHB? • How can you support building a Desal plant that has no source of revenues? • Why has Poseidon Resources continue to "stonewall" the Ca Coastal Commission in answering their 12 requests for information that may be beneficial for this project? Based upon the tenets of the Ronald Reagan conservative philosophy, how can you support this boondoggle other than by taking political contributions from Poseidon Resources? As Ronald Reagan has stated: The 9 most terrifying word in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." It is the citizens of HB that are asking for your help in defeating this project that simply does not have the financial wherewithal to stand on its own merits, let alone have customers to purchase its desal water.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future. anne earhart 668 N Coast Hwy Laguna Beach, CA 92651 1 Stephenson, Johanna From: Sandra Fazio [sandyfazio@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2013 8:20 PM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Poseidon Dear Councilperson: I just had knee replacement surgery or I would be at the city council meeting to support a letter opposing Poseidon.

Does anyone there care about the quality of life we have in this area of the city? or the ocean that drives our tourism and make us who we are? Please people... Fight for us.

Having been marginally involved in the conversion plant in Point Loma that was dismantled and shipped to Guantanomo Bay when Castro shut down the water supply to that facility, I am asking you to support Councilperson Boardman at this point and at a minimum support delays from government bureaucrats until the Carlsbad facility has proven itself for at least 24 months. Anything less than this should be considered a derelict of duty by the Huntington Beach City Council.

We have this wonderful spot on the shore of the great Pacific Ocean... one has to wonder why for so many years we chose to industrialize it and use the Pacific Ocean as a dump. I urge you to support Councilwoman Boardman's motion asking the Coastal Commission to deny Poseidon's plan to further industrialize our precious coast,to use the ocean as a private dump for their concentrated brine and waste, to further aggravate conditions that lead to global warming and to privatize water.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit.

Huntington has very nice beaches which is why I moved here and I think we need to do a better job of taking care of them. If the beaches go then tourism goes and the risk of this Desalination project is too great to even consider. Huntington Beach has so many great natural areas like The Bolsa Chica wetlands, it would be a shame to see this plant destroy the marine life which supports such an incredible ecosystem.

Honorable Pro Tern Mayor Matthew Harper: As a sitting member of the HB City Council you are called upon to make serious decisions that may go against your political philosophy. Many questions remain concerning the issue of Poseidon Resources coming into our city and demanding to build a Desal plant that they do not even have customers for to purchase their desal water. • What has Poseidon Resources done for the citizens of HB let alone the taxpayers of SEHB? • How can you support building a Desal plant that has no source of revenues? • Why has Poseidon Resources continue to "stonewall" the Ca Coastal Commission in answering their 12 requests for information that may be beneficial for this project? Based upon the tenets of the Ronald Reagan conservative philosophy, how can you support this boondoggle other than by taking political contributions from Poseidon Resources? As Ronald Reagan has stated: The 9 most terrifying word in the English language are: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." It is the citizens of HB that are asking for your help in defeating this project that simply does not have the financial wherewithal to stand on its own merits, let alone have customers to purchase its desal water.

You have personally told us that you are not being swayed by these perks. • What has Poseidon Resources done for the taxpaying residents of HB and SEHB? • As a highly successful businessman and using your business financial expertise, how can you justify the building by Poseidon Resources of a desal plant when you have not seen any financial information on them. Remember, if you enter into a contract with a company that has a negative net worth, you have no recourse from the legal system. • How can you justify building a plant, when Poseidon Resources has no customers with legally signed contracts, not the nonbinding ones that they are now promoting as you are keenly aware owing to your relationship with Poseidon Resources? Since you have received financial considerations, and other- perks from Poseidon Resources, should you not consider abstaining on voting on this measure for ethical reasons and conflicts of interest?

Honorable Huntington Beach City Councilman Jim Katapodis; As a sitting member of the HBCC, you have a fiduciary responsibility to support Mayor Connie Boardman's letter to the Ca Coastal Commission requesting that the CDP for the Poseidon Resources project be denied. • In Poseidon Resources attempts to fund the Carlsbad facility, S&P rated their proposed construction bonds as "BBB —" and given "Junk Bond" status. Poseidon Resources simply did not have the financial wherewithal to fund the Carlsbad Desal project independently. No bond buyers from the investment community stepped forward to purchase these Bonds. • As a newly elected HBCC member, you should require that Poseidon Resources provide complete current audited Financial Statements including Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow statement to determine their creditworthiness. • At present, there are no "buyers" for their desal water as they have asked the various water districts to sign nonbinding contracts. If it's a nonbinding contract, it's simply not legal. So where is the customer support. • Where are the Performance Bond, Completion Bond, and Standby Letter of Credit from Poseidon Resources to build the HB desal plant. Poseidon Resources failed and defaulted in Tampa as the Tampa Water Authority had to take over the project as those costs were at the expense of the rate paying taxpayer. What has the city of Huntington Beach done to prevent Poseidon Resources from defaulting and sailing out into the ocean on this project? Nothing.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future. anne earhart 668 N Coast Hwy Laguna Beach, CA 92651 8 Stephenson, Johanna From: Tad [Tad@mcrfinancialgroup.com] Sent: Monday, May 06, 2013 12:19 PM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Poseidon Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged Dear HB City Council, Please support Councilwoman Boardman's motion in opposing Poseidon's desalination project for our city.

It sets a chilling precedent to have a city council reverse its position on a project that a previous council has already approved. Those who wish to invest in Huntington Beach's economic future will surely think twice if they know that projects that are approved today might be denied tomorrow. Additionally, this desalination project will be terrific for Huntington Beach! It will: • Provide a new, high-quality, drought-proof water supply for its residents • Provide Huntington Beach with more than one billion gallons of drinking water annually at a lower rate than ratepayers would otherwise pay for imported water • Create more than 2.000 much-needed jobs • Bring in tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue to the City • Be built and operated at no expense to the City or the taxpayers I urge you to vote NO on the Councilmember's effort to scuttle this much-needed water purification project that will help drought-proof our City.

I am out of town and so consequently unable to attend tonight's meeting in person.......so I am writing this plea to you now. Do what ever you can to stop any further advances toward Poseidon or any other Desal plant in or near our glorious town. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

John Selecky 2983 Alexander Rd Laguna Beach, CA 92651 208 Stephenson, Johanna From: Leonor Rutledge[leorutledge@me.com] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 8:59 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please Support Denial of Poseidon Desal Dear Mayor Boardman and City Council Members: I am writing to support the City council in writing a letter to the Coastal Commission recommending denial of the Poseidon-Huntington Seawater Desalination proposal. I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit.

Adam Chaffee 315 Marion Blvd. Fullerton, CA 92835 , 168 Stephenson, Johanna From: RICHARD KOSAI [richard.kosai@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 9:31 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please Support Denial of Poseidon Desal Dear Mayor Boardman and City Council Members: I am writing to support the City council in writing a letter to the Coastal Commission recommending denial of the Poseidon-Huntington Seawater Desalination proposal. I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

Dr. Payam Larijani 4561 Pinyon Tree Lane Irvine, CA 92612 148 Stephenson, Johanna From: Jessica Watkins Ultwatkins@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 9:58 AM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please Support Denial of Poseidon Desal Dear Mayor Boardman and City Council Members: Thank you in advance for your time and concern for the ongoing sustainability and health of our environment. I am writing to support the City council in writing a letter to the Coastal Commission recommending denial of the Poseidon-Huntington Seawater Desalination proposal. I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit.

My son and his wife have lived in HB for years. I spent about a year living with them after surgeries. I appreciate the friends I've made in your city. I enjoy the activities you have. My exhusband' s job included building a desalination plant in the Virgin Islands. It was a huge thing with extensive piping systems. He always said it was too expensive for CA with the large population here. He felt it was better to recycle water we have. He was involved with the West Basin Water District in Los Angeles County and was quite familiar with the state water projects. Using native plants and drought resistant landscaping, offering low flow toilets and shower heads to citizens, planning water storage for rainy times, using solar and wind energy to save costs for city, schools, homes and business buildings along with insulation to cut heating and air conditioning, all will cut water use and need for additional water. Other cities in CA have used reclaimed waste water to water golf courses, parks, road scapes, etc. Do consider what you can change for little cost. Thank you.

Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit.

Scott Lami 2140 Thurin ave b2 Costa Mesa, CA 92627 41 Stephenson, Johanna From: Kelly Jackson [robandkellyjackson@verizon.net] Sent: Friday, May 03, 2013 9:57 PM To: CITY COUNCIL Subject: Please Support Denial of Poseidon Desal Dear Mayor Boardman and City Council Members: I am writing to support the City council in writing a letter to the Coastal Commission recommending denial of the Poseidon-Huntington Seawater Desalination proposal. I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County' s valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit. It is the right thing to do for our environment, our ocean dependent economy, for quality of life benefits in local communities, and for a secure and reliable water supply plan for now and well into the future.

This allowed them to save $1 million a year in financing charges, while retaining Covanta to finish the job." This led me to wonder, "where did they get the money to 'buy out Poseidon's interest'?

During this process I found an article from the Orange County Weekly that reported the efforts of a man named Jan Vandersloot. Quoted from the O C Weekly, "Vandersloot is most famous for his activist role in convincing the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) to meet federal water-quality standards before dumping millions of gallons of wastewater 4.5 miles offshore in Huntington Beach. Now he has turned his sights on the Poseidon desalination project, which would pump 100 million gallons of water from the AES plant's cooling system each day—and which could make the already-contaminated water there even more unhealthy." What was truly disturbing in this 1-1/2 page report was a comparison of"water-to-bacteria" ratios between the wastewater of the OCSD and that of the AES plant. According to the O C Weekly, "A recent study by the California Energy Commission (CEC) found that AES wastewater contains a whopping one particle of bacteria for every 36 particles of water." [i.e., 36:1], and this is because, "... AES flushes this water through a pipe that ends just 1,200 feet offshore and a mere seven feet beneath the surface, it's no surprise that CEC found that AES contributes 16 percent of the enterococci bacteria that ends up on the beach at Huntington."

In this important time of recognizing the value of our environment, we need to focus on conservation of resources rather than continued exploitation. Conservation is key; We are seeing a growing trend towards working with nature rather than against it. For example, more households are planting ocean-friendly gardens, using reusable bags (by the way, I applaud the council for moving towards the plastic bag ban), driving more fuel-efficient vehicles, recycling, shopping locally, and conserving water. Although we can do better, I believe we as a city are doing a great job and these efforts are also good for business and our economy. So, for the aforementioned reasons, I believe the Poseidon project is a bad direction for our city. It counterdicts the strides we have been making as we become more eco friendly. We can save money, promote conservation and enjoy a healthier ocean by simply denying Poseidon a coastal development permit. Thank you for taking the time to consider my views on this issue.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment. Finally, I am concerned that the enormous cost of this desalination proposal will not only unnecessarily raise my water bill, but the money is being used for a project that causes environmental harm instead of the alternatives that can restore and protect our coast and ocean. Please vote in favor of sending a letter to the Coastal Commission requesting denial of the Coastal Development Permit.

I feel very strongly that the current project proposal unnecessarily harms marine life, degrades water quality and marine habitat, impacts coastal wetlands and wildlife, and is extremely energy demanding -- undermining the State's efforts to deal with climate change. Further, alternative means for ensuring a reliable source of freshwater for the future should be the priority in water project investments. Conservation, especially investments in retrofitting residential and business landscapes, can dramatically reduce pollution reaching our streams and ocean, and simultaneously capture rain water to re-charge Orange County's valuable groundwater basin. And I support the expansion of the Orange County recycled water program to minimize ocean discharges and purify that water for safe re-use. In combination, these programs can make Orange County independent of imported water and improve our precious coast and ocean environment.

This project would do absolutely nothing to help our city. Conversely, it would bring unwanted pollution to our city and out beaches. Please support Councilwoman Boardman.

It sets a chilling precedent to have a city council reverse its position on a project that a previous council has already approved. Those who wish to invest in Huntington Beach's economic future will surely think twice if they know that projects that are approved today might be denied tomorrow. Additionally, this desalination project will be terrific for Huntington Beach! It will: • Provide a new, high-quality, drought-proof water supply for its residents • Provide Huntington Beach with more than one billion gallons of drinking water annually at a lower rate than ratepayers would otherwise pay for imported water • Create more than 2,000 much-needed jobs • Bring in tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue to the City • Be built and operated at no expense to the City or the taxpayers I urge you to vote NO on the Councilmember's effort to scuttle this much-needed water purification project that will help drought-proof our City.

I know I speak for a majority of residents in my neighborhood. We, in SEHB, live in an area that potentially has hazardous chemicals in our air. For one, Ascon seems to be a consistent topic of conversation and concern. To add to the already concerned residents of our neighborhoods with the Poseidon project would only create greater fear and worry for our families. While it may be speculation as to just how much risk we have living in SEHB, the Poseidon project would most certainly enhance those risks with the construction that would inevitably create airborne chemicals from the oil contaminated soil. There is no way to completely mitigate this. In addition, the Poseidon project would only further solidify SEHB as an industrial wasteland surrounded by concerned residents who do not need further industrialization. Clearly the project would be designed to"benefit" those who do not live in our beloved city and who do not share the same risks with the air we breathe.

We the residents of Southeast Huntington Beach have been long disproportionately burdened by the effects of public land use such as the Ascon Landfill, AES and the Orange County Sanitation district, all three of which are located in a very small three mile radius of one another. The negative effects on the residents (both on health and property values) and ocean life are still unknown and potentially devastating.
