1 CITY COUNCIL 2 CITY OF SANGER, CA 3 VINCENT WALL, JOESEPH VILLALOBOS, DONNA SECOND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT 4 BAILEY, EFREN RUBIO, MELISSA BEASELY, AND OF APPELLANTS POSITION FOR PROPOSED HENRY PROVOST, REQUIREMENT TO THE CONDITIONAL USE 5 PERMIT RESOLUTION 2018-07 Appellants, 6 vs. 7 CITY OF SANGER PLANNING COMMISSION, 8 Appellee 9 The undersigned Appellant has attached several additional documents in support of Appellant’s 10 appeal against CUP 2018-07. The evidence attached in the appendixes supports Appellants position that the City 11 failed to follow CEQA as the City has failed to take into account the cumulative effect of all the power plants in the 12 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and the cumulative effect of all the power plants in the greater 13 San Joaquin Valley upon the environment of the Citizens of Sanger and/or the Citizens of the Greater San Joaquin 14 Valley. 15 Under CEQA 15300.2(b) a project cannot be exempted under CEQA 15301 if it has a cumulative 16 effect in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and/or the Greater San Joaquin Valley, if the 17 cumulative impact of projects in the same place (San Juaquin Valley) over time are significant. 18 Appendix J: Is a list/database of the power plants in the State of California, 19 (https://www.energy.ca.gov/almanac/power_plant_data/Power_Plants.xlsx) 20 Appendix K: is an edited version of Appendix J highlighting the power plants in the San Joaquin 21 Valley Air Pollution Control District. 22 Appendix L: is the status of all energy facilities (power plants) in the State of California, 23 (https://www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/all_projects.html). 24 None of the items in Appendixes J, K, or L were considered in the Cities determination of the 25 cumulative effects of pollution of the increasing hours of the Sanger power plant with the effects of pollution of the 26 power plants listed in Appendixes A-L in San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, the Greater San Joaquin 27 Valley, and to the Citizens of Sanger. 28 SECOND ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF APPELLANTS POSITION FOR PROPOSED REQUIREMENT TO THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION 2018-07 - 1 1 The City’s statement that operating the power plant for 300 more hours a year, or 49 minutes a 2 day, is negligible is conclusory and without a basis in the record. Report to the City of Sanger discussion of claim 2. 3 Further, the City compares the emissions of the greater pollution in Sanger to an overall emissions savings with out 4 of state power plants. This argument is pure conjecture. The City has provided no basis for this statement. Further, 5 the City appears to be arguing that it is better for other states if we increase pollution in our City. Sanger City 6 Council is tasked with protecting the health, welfare, and safety of its citizens and not the citizens of unknown 7 states. Additionally, the City’s argument fails to take into consideration the plurality of power plants in and around 8 the City of Sanger that have a direct effect upon its citizens, and how he cumulative effect of the power plants will 9 effect the environment of the Cities citizens. 10 Based upon the above, the city has failed to take into account the cumulative impact/effect that 11 increasing the hours of operation of the Sanger power plant will have on the environment and the public health of its 12 citizens because the City has failed to take into account the power plants in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution 13 Control District, and/or the Greater San Joaquin Valley. 14 15 Dated this 20 of October, 2018. 16 17 /Vincent Wall/ 18 Vincent Wall (Individually) 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
