The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a public meeting on the Staff Assessment for the proposed Soda Mountain Solar Project, pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 25545.7.2(b)(2) and 25545.7.6. The purpose of the meeting is for CEC staff to present the Staff Assessment, which includes a draft environmental impact report (Draft EIR), and receive comments on the assessment from government agencies, California Native American Tribes, the public, and the project applicant. This is a hybrid meeting consistent with Senate Bill 189 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 48, Statutes of 2022), with both a publicly accessible physical location and public access online or by phone through Zoom.
