Because local residents will continue to bear safety impacts from the nuclear facility for an indefinite and possibly infinite time, conserving the open space buffer lands is a reasonable mitigation.

This should be opened back up to the public in trails and camping!

As a Baywood Park resident, I'd like to see the land turned into Park Lands modeled after the S.F Bay Area's - Point Reyes National Sea Shore. If done to the standards of preservation and good stewardship offering hiking & biking trails , camping, wildlife viewing, the lands can be a big draw for SLO County becoming a magnificent destination with its wealth of native diversity - showing best the California Central Coast splendor.

When will fisheries contaminated by Diablo be safe for human consumption?

I'd ask you to consider allowing public access including coastal trails with overarching land conservation goals. The area is too beautiful for only a few to enjoy.

I am concerned that no nuclear waste to be stored in the ocean as has happened in the case of other nuclear plants.

If the Diablo Plant no longer generates/transmits power will those ugly (power/ transmission) towers be dismantled coming out of Avila? It would improve the view shed dramatically.

We should be looking to share the coastline with trails, conservation efforts and preservation. I hope my one year old son will be able to have access to ride bikes, hike and enjoy that beautiful area when he is older. I also hope one day I can ride my bike from Irish Hills to the coast instead of using my car to access the ocean. The time to make a stand on preserving a beautiful piece of the Central Coast is now and I hope we get it right the first time. If we look to develop and sell lands for more housing or other development we are losing what grounds us all, the beauty of nature.

I would like to see the Diablo Lands preserved for recreational public use - including a 20-mile coastal trail through the Irish Hills.

Expand access of land for recreational use from Montana de oro.

Please conserve the land as open space and allow for public access. You have a unique opportunity to preserve miles of coastline and add to the open spaces that make the Central Coast a healthy, desirable place to live and visit.

I'm a Central Coast citizen and wildlife biologist. There is a wealth of habitat in the Diablo Canyon holdings, that should be a legacy to present and future generations. It would be a tremendous loss (not to mention an infrastructure nightmare!) to convert Wild Cherry Canyon into needless McMansions for a wealthy few. Please do the right thing and leave a legacy for all to protect and cherish. The welfare of our county's citizenry is in your hands. Thank you.

Diablo Canyon open lands and Wild Cherry Canyon lands should be donated to the state and made part of Montana de Oro State Park.

To Whom it may concern - I would really like to see Diablo turned into a space port. But if thats not in the cards, then I think the lands around the plant should be turned into multiuse hiking / cycling / equestrian trails and recreational areas. Its relatively low cost with high community return. Much of the trail building can be done with volunteer labor as well. Plus those areas bring more tourism to the area to help make up for the loss of revenue from the plant decommisioning.

Please! The Cherry Canyon lands around the plant must be preserved through conservation efforts, and open to public access through coastal trail development. This property is too precious an asset for development. The people of this County have hosted a nuclear plant for decades and deserve to be the beneficiary of Cherry Canyon land use. thank you.

I am hopeful that a clear plan is produced describing how Diablo Canyon lands will be conserved for agriculture, their natural resources, and recreation. My vision for this plan is that it is phased, so that zones for construction and risk mitigation can be defined as tightly as practical (shrinking in steps over time), so the conservation and recreation space is opened as much as possible.
This is a "national quality" seashore space. It exceeds Point Reyes National Seashore in many ways. Accordingly, the plan should cover the vision for how Diablo Canyon lands get integrated with Montana Del Oro, and potentially, eventually stretch from the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes to Morro Rock. It should also cover public access to the space in a fashion to avoid impacting Avila Beach and Los Osos, potentially with a new access road across the Irish Hills.

The land should be preserved as open space for hiking, biking and preservation of habitat.

preserve these lands in the state park system, and allow public access to the maximum extent feasible.

It would be great to see the land redeveloped for mountain bike and hiking trails.

Please consider the early retirement of Diablo canyon before the 2025 proposed date. I know there is a lawsuit and legislation introduced but I believe this reactor is old and should be decommissioned right now not later. Thank you

I believe the land should be preserved and allow the San Luis Obispo Land Conservancy to manage it

I talked to an Atascadero resident who attended the public hearing on July 25th. He is very interested in conservation of the Diablo Lands and Wild Cherry Canyon and hopes to be at the public hearing on August 29th to express his support for that. He doesn't drive and so he can take public transportation to the meeting -- however, public transportation will be unavailable returning home due to the late meeting ending time. I am going to try and find him a ride but I thought it important to note that public transportation can be problematic for people when meetings run late into the evening.

On July 26th, 2018, I met with members of the SLO County Trail Alliance who are very interested in the upcoming land use meetings of the Engagement Panel. They support conservation and public access to the Diablo Lands, including Wild Cherry Canyon, and will be helping to spread the word about upcoming land use meetings in August. A few of their member organizations would like to make a presentation at the August land use workshops, most likely the Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers and multiple equestrian groups.

Open public access and connect to Montana de Oro. Make it part of Montana de Oro state park. Thank You.

I heard from a PG & E employee that they support conservation of the Diablo Lands, and wish to prevent there the "predatory development that is occurring in San Luis Obispo.”
