Heber geothermal project moves forward with upgrades and ins

EL CENTRO — The Imperial County Board of Supervisors denied the appeal to halt the Heber 2 Geothermal Repower Project and approved several items allowing the project to move forward at its regular meeting Tuesday, July 27. The Board approved the finding of categorical exemption, mitigated negative declaration, de minimus finding, and conditional use permit (CUP) for the project located at 855 Dogwood Road in Heber.
Kendra Hartmann of Adams Broadwell Joseph & Cardozo represented the appellants. The appeal was filed on behalf of Imperial County citizens, including Jaime Cuevas, Dalila and Efrain Guzman, and Eric Jones.
“Substantial evidence shows that the project would have a significant effect on human health and the environment due to unusual circumstances, and that there is a reasonable possibility that cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place over time will be significant,” said Hartmann. “Evidence of potentially significant impacts due to these circumstances precludes reliance on an exemption, and mandates CEQA review, even if a project could otherwise be subject to an exemption.”
