I would like to see the land preserved as open space/recreational. One priority would be completion of the California coast trail through this section of land.

I want some public access and conservation. Coastal trails that can be accessible via Irish Hills would be great. Make the trails multi-use for hikers and bikers.

Allow public access and trail construction in Wild Cherry Canyon. That will end a gap in the Calif. Coastal Trail. It will also greatly enhance public enjoyment of nature and increase tourism.

I would like to see these lands used for public access. I'm guessing it was we ratepayers who payed for you to use the land in the first place, so now it's time to give it back to us so we can preserve what is left of it as open space.

If like to see the land used for public access and trail use instead of more condos

That entire area should be cover with solar panels. The water area should be used for tide power generation. Why am I not surprised it is not already that way.

Keep it as natural as possible and put a wild trail in from Avila to Los Osos. Zero houses.

I look forward to increased public access for hiking and passive use in the hills and along the coast. This is the time to preserve Wild Cherry Canyon.

It makes good business sense to repurpose and reuse the existing facilities, especially the desalinization plant and power grid. A new National Park could benefit from the existing infrastructure.

I support the idea of using the power distribution network to deliver renewable energy such as wind, solar, or wave power

connecting Wild Cherry Canyon and Montana de Oro would be a huge assest to our area for locals and eco-tourists alike. I had the pleasure (and pain) of running the Wild Cherry Canyon race both times it was presented.

The public lands from Avila Beach to the southern end of Montana de Oro State Park are essential habitat for burrowing owls and peregrine falcons. Please keep them safe from drilling and manufacturing and building.

Open space and trails. Separate bikes and pedestrians. Allow dogs!

The beautiful views, rich natural/ecological and cultural heritage should be preserved intact. There are very few areas like this left in the world, and we need to keep it as a nature reserve.

If the land is designated a National Park, the income from the visitors would enrich the area. National Parks are destinations that bring tourism and at the same time preserve the land for the public and care for it in a sensitive way. Undeveloped coastline is rare now and we would be wise to preserve it in it’s current state. Thanks 💚🌿💚

Reuse of these facilities is the most sustainable path forward. A combination of an emergency fresh water source through desalination and educational facilities for the public wanting to study marine environments. Think Monterey bay aquarium here... could be a fantastic resource and educational facility. Perhaps partner with Channel Islands college district or Cal Poly for those opportunities- reach out to leadership in Monterey Bay for guidance and feasibility.

I urge the panel to consider the benefits to the county's residents as well as to regional tourists in converting the land into open space, recreational space, conservation, and wildlife restoration. This could be a tremendous asset to our area for generations to come.

Equestrian use for sure. We would use more horse camping places. Maybe a group or individual site that we could campout and have trails to ride on. Most places charge for group areas and individual areas. They could have cooking area, restrooms with showers. Maybe water and electrical hookup. Since we don't get alot of rain it could be a year round money maker. I'm sure some of our riding clubs for donate money or corrals for it also. Please consider this ideal.

Public Access trail through cherry creek canyon out to the coast for a mountain bike/ runners /equestrians.

I would like to see the lands kept as a preserve., allowing for hiking and camping. We need to preserve our coastline in its natural state and allow people to access it for these reasons.

The dry casket case methodology of storing spent fuel rods; It is not feasible, safe for our community and the seven generations afterword.

Please consider giving us trails in Wild Cherry Canyon. A separate trail for hikers/bikers and one for equestrians would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
We really need to protect as much open space as we possibly can. This is our greatest tourist asset.

My hope is that the lands involved in the Diablo decommissioning, will be put into conservation for future generations to enjoy, with public access. This would include Wild Cherry Canyon.

Environmental impacts on the land in question should be considered carefully, and fully.

The best way to preserve the land would be to keep Diablo Canyon operating. Even the state parks representatives state that PG&E does a great job of somservation on these 12 miles of coastline. State parks don’t have as much money or resources.
I would like to see a transition away from supporting cattle ranching on the lands. Bring back native grasses and shrubs and stop supporting methane-producing beef.
