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:
“Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“In the course of writing one historical book or another, it has happened that I could hardly restrain myself from simply copying entire documents. Indeed, I sometimes sank down among the documents and said to myself, I can’t improve on these.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
