Background

The DWP has announced plans to build a new power distributing station in the Marquez Knolls residential enclave of Pacific Palisades.  The target location is an undeveloped lot immediately adjacent to the Marquez Charter. 

On February 29, 2012, DWP hosted an informational Town Hall meeting to present the proposed project, “Distributing Station 104” (“DS 104”) to the community.  Although residents and Marquez Charter parents had learned about the Town Hall meeting merely days before, 200+ attended and over two dozen spoke out against the proposed power distributing station as a potential environmental and health hazard.  At the end of the Town Hall, the community submitted to DWP a petition with 400+ signatures to protest the proposed power distributing station.
