At 8:35 PM tonight the members of the California Costal Commission are still meeting the Sheraton San Diego Hotel at 1433 Camino Del Rio South. From the thoughts expressed by commissioners Sara J. Wan and Steve Blank it does not look like it’s going well for the Poseidon Resources or plans for the desalination plant.
There is a whole bunch of information that is simply not available to us to make our decision. . . I’d love to be able to approve a desal project that would work, but this is not it as presented,” Wan said.
From the sounds of the discussion it is the opinion of at least three of the Commission members that Poseidon and friends did not provide the information and mitigation measure details needed for the Coastal Commission to make any decision on the plan at all. Commissioner Larry Clark summed it up this way:
We have one of two options. . . we have the option of spending the next few hours going through each and every one of these conditions, or we can continue this matter. My sense of this is that we are far better off if we continue this matter.
