Subject:Hellman solar project
The California State Coastal Conservancy awarded the Los Cerritos Wetlands Authority over $31 million to restore
wetlands adjacent to the proposed Hellman solar development. The California Ocean Protection Council, the Rivers and
Mountains Conservancy and and private and environmental nonprofits provided additional funding.
Please don't jeopardize this substantial investment by allowing the Hellman solar project to proceed without a full
environmental impact report.
From the map, the proposed development appears very close (maybe 10 feet) to the restoration project or private
property.
There could be impacts on hydrology, threatened and endangered species, glint and glare and views from both private
homes and public trails and vista points in the restored wetlands.
We know indigenous people have used this area for millennia and without an EIR we won't know the impact their
presence will have on the solar development.
Please follow the law, protect the public's restoration investment and avoid future legal expenses for the city and
developers that may result from premature approval of this project.
Require and EIR!
Thank you.
