PG&E Topock Station Meeting

The CA Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) invites the public to provide comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the PG&E Topock Compressor Station Soil Investigation Project. The PG&E Topock Compressor Station is located in the Mojave Desert approximately 12 miles southeast of the City of Needles, CA.

The project involves soil investigation activities including soil sampling and sample analysis, bench scale tests, pilot studies, geotechnical evaluations, and plant and biota sampling.

The Draft EIR identifies that the project could result in significant biological resources, cultural resources, and noise impacts. Mitigation measures to reduce these impacts are described in the Draft EIR. After mitigation measures are applied, significant unavoidable cultural resources and noise impacts would continue to occur with project implementation.

Public comment period is from July 7, 2014 – August 21, 2014. Attend the public meeting to learn more about the project and provide comments on the environmental analysis presented in the Draft EIR.
