ROSENDAHL WINS FULL REVIEW OF CONTROVERSIAL POWER LINE PROJECT
DWP Pledges to Conduct EIR for Scattergood-Olympic Power Cable Project

LOS ANGELES – At the urging of City Councilmember Bill Rosendahl, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) has agreed to a community request to conduct a full and thorough environmental review for its proposed Scattergood-Olympic underground power line project.

Rosendahl announced today that David Freeman, general manager of DWP, agreed today that his department would complete a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the utility project, which had drawn the outspoken concern of residents from West LA, Mar Vista, Del Rey, Playa Vista, Westchester and Playa del Rey.

“This is fantastic news,” Rosendahl said. “I am grateful that DWP is listening to the concerns of my constituents, who also happen to be its shareholders.”

Local residents voiced concerns in recent weeks that DWP was rushing a project without sufficient concern for the impact on local residents, and without sufficient study of the potential impact of electromagnetic fields generated by the power lines.
