Decommissioning process
The County continues to plan for DCPP’s eventual decommissioning and is evaluating how the legislation affects the timing of the permitting process for decommissioning. The County is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the decommissioning of DCPP.

Community impact mitigation funds
SB 846 would not affect the community impact mitigation funds that the County receives through SB 1090 and the settlement agreement between the County, PG&E, city governments, San Luis Coastal Unified School District, and others.

Land conservation and reuse
The County remains focused on how the DCPP site can strengthen and diversify our economy and provide high-wage job opportunities today and in the future. The County continues to support concepts that would repurpose DCPP’s facilities, infrastructure, and remediated site in ways that meet the community’s needs. In May 2022, the Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to sign onto a community vision of a cleantech innovation park at the site. Furthermore, the County remains engaged in the efforts to identify and plan for the conservation of 12,000 acres of land surrounding the site.
SB 846 provides for a $160 million Land Conservation and Economic Development Plan, to be developed by the state Natural Resources Agency. The County looks forward to engaging with state and local partners on the development and implementation of this plan in support of community priorities for the site.
