SUPPORT OF THE SUNDESERT NUCLEAR PROJECT
AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED IN THE NOTICE OF
INTENT
WHEREAS, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, Los Angeles Depart-
ment of Water and Power, the State Department of
Water Resources and the cities of Glendale, Pasadena,
Anaheim, Burbank and Riverside have applied to the
State Energy Resources Conservation and Development
Commission for approval to build a nuclear power plant
at a remote desert site in Biythe, California, called
the Sundesert Nuclear Project, to serve the electric
power needs of the State Water Project which supplies
water to the San Diego region; and
WHEREAS, the State Energy Resources Conservation and Develop-
ment Commission has approved the site for the Sundesert
Nuclear Project and has found that there exists a need
for additional energy capacity during the mid-1980's
for Southern California; and
WHEREAS, the construction of this nuclear power plant in this
remote site will reduce the Southern California region's
dependence upon oil as a fuel for generation of electric
power, thereby increasing the reliability of electric
power supply by reducing dependence upon foreign oil
which is subject to interruptions of supply due to
international events beyond the control of state or
local officials; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Water Resources is a
participant in the Sundesert Nuclear Project and
requires the energy which will be derived from the
project to economically pump water to Southern Califor-
nia; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califor-
nia has a vital interest in the Sundesert Nuclear
Project by reason of its water supply contract with
the Department of Water Resources; and
WHEREAS, the Sundesert Nuclear Project will produce power at the
least cost to the consumer when contrasted to alter-
native forms of generation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the
City of Baldwin Park urges that all necessary steps
be taken to approve, construct and commence operation
of the Sundesert Nuclear Project as originally
proposed in the Notice of Intent at the earliest
possible date.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Baldwin Park urges
that the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission and the Legislature respec-
tively recommend and enact an exemption for the
Sundesert Nuclear Project, as orginally proposed in
the Notice of Intent, from the current moratorium on
the construction of new nuclear power plants which
