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.
