SUMMARY: During the January 9, 2013 Public Participation Hearings on A.12-04-019 in Monterey, Cal-Am indicated that it was increasing the size of the proposed desalination facilities to incorporate potential demand they had previously not included in the project sizing. These include build-out of the Pebble Beach project the EIR for which was certified by the County last summer, the potential “bounce back” in tourism resulting from economic recovery and utilizing existing visitor-serving capacity, and legal lots of record. These additions are shown in the table below:
|
Estimated Demand –Mid Range (AFY) |
15,296 |
|
5yr Average (AFY) |
13,290 |
|
Pebble Beach (AFY) |

|
Tourism Bounce Back (AFY) |

|
Lots of Record (AFY) |

RECOMMENDATION: The Committee should discuss and determine if it would like to recommend that the Board adopt a formal position of support, disagreement, or neutrality. Such position will be incorporated into District testimony to be filed in February.
