RESOLUTION NUMBER ~,;;( .5-b
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED
EXPANSION OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
COMPANY'S HUNTINGTON BEACH POWER GENERATING PLANT.
on September 21, 1972, the Orange County Air Pollution Control
District granted an "Authority to Construct" permit to the Southern
California Edison Company for expansion of the Huntington Beach
facl1i ty; and
the citizens of Orange County face the prospect of power shortage
and power rationing in the near future due to the present power
crisis; and
the present power generating facilities in Orange County are unable
to meet the future energy demands of the County; and
the proposed expansion of the Huntington Beach power plant will
provide 150% more capacity for generation of electricity; and
the proposed expansion is of such a design so as to emit 33% less
pollutants than a plant of equal size of the current design; and
it has been shown that natural gas and refined distillates produce
the least amount of pollutants in fossil fuel power plants; and
the Southern California Edison Company has given assurances of
having a twenty year domestic supply of natural gas and refined
distillates which will be used to fuel the expanded facility; and
operation of the expanded Huntington Beach facility will reduce
the usage of the Southern California Edison Company's Seal Beach
installation thereby decreasing the amount of locally produced
emissions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
supports the proposed expansion of the Southern California Edison Company's
Huntington Beach electricity generating plant; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all cities
in Orange-County, members of the California Public Utilities Commission and
the South Coast Regional Commission.
