Stakeholders impacted by the decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) have many concerns. The community seeks actions, by PG&E, Government leaders, and others, to mitigate adverse economic impacts that may be associated with the closure. These include the economic and social impact from the loss of jobs (direct and indirect), loss of tax revenues, and loss of other community support. Likewise, the community seeks land use and preservation actions for the DCPP site, actions that may require PG&E to forego other more economically valuable uses of the land.

Two key questions should be asked when evaluating any proposed action:

1. IS THE PROPOSED ACTION LEGALLY MANDATED?

2. WHO PAYS? (RATEPAYERS? PG&E? TAXPAYERS? OTHER?)

The answers to these two questions will help the Panel sort out the viability of the numerous concerns and demands that will arise during the decommissioning process.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the county to do it right the first time. Providing Mountain Bike, Hiking and Equestrian Trails from MDO through to Avila. These type of trails would quickly would become a world class destination especially for families. This would add significant booked hotel room nights. New businesses would be established to support shuttle services for users to go one way (approx 20 Miles) Look at the success of the "Rails to Trails" program in New Zealand. 

Public access to the Diablo Lands needs to be worked out with Chumash elders... I support public access, hiking, mountain biking etc.
