After the California Coastal Commission said that Poseidon Resources, Inc. proposal for a desalination plant in Carlsbad was “incomplete,” (for the fourth time this year) the company requested a August hearing so they could explain the project face to face.
Peter MacLaggan, vice president of Poseidon Resources, said the company asked for the board hearing because the staff wants more information about the project and the company believes it has submitted all the data needed to judge it. “We’re in the process of resolving our differences as to whether the application is complete,” MacLaggan said. “Our request for a hearing is in the event that we’re unable to work it out in the next couple of weeks.”
The project cannot proceed without a permit from the commission. Click here for total Carlsbadistan coverage of the desalination plant.
