Subject:Proposed Solar panel project
To the Seal Beach Planning Commission:
I am sending this brief letter to express my concern for the speed of green lighting the proposed solar
power project adjacent to the Los Cerritos Wetlands. The revised, slightly downsized project still requires
a comprehensive environmental review before it advances through the Seal Beach planning process. My
concern is for the sensitive ecosystem of the wetlands being negatively impacted by the solar panels. I
am definitely a proponent of clean energy like solar, but I'm asking for a review to evaluate the potential
harm this spot would have, and to search for alternative locations not adjacent to the wetlands.
As a resident of Long Beach and a lover of the Los Cerritos wetlands and its creatures, I hope the
commission will run a full review. Los Cerritos Wetlands is a rare coastal wetland, home to many
sensitive species, especially birds. Unless the City requires a full environmental review (EIR), neither
the public nor decision-makers will have access to a comprehensive analysis of the project’s impacts
or potential alternatives; that information is provided only through an EIR.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Jennifer Celio
