Final Project Modification Report: On May 14, 2010, SDG&E submitted the Final Project Modification Report (PMR) to the CPUC and the BLM. The PMR fine-tunes the approved route and enhances the environmental preservation and protection components of the transmission line. These changes were made in order to minimize impacts to sensitive resources, accommodate landowners where possible and reduce engineering constraints. Highlights of the PMR include:
- More than 40 poles and structures eliminated
- Access roads reduced by 74 miles (119 km), or nearly 60 percent, through increased use of helicopters for construction and maintenance
- Permanent impacts to sensitive vegetation communities reduced by 235 acres (0.95 km2)
- Impacts to Quino Checkerspot Butterfly habitat reduced by a minimum of 58 percent
- Temporary impacts to Peninsular Bighorn Sheep habitat decreased by an average of 86 percent and permanent impacts decreased by an average of 74 percent
- Temporary and permanent impacts to U.S. and state waters reduced by 88 percent

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or documents:
“At the last, tenderly,
From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
Let me be wafted.
Let me glide noiselessly forth;
With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
Set ope the doors O soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
