Important Community Event Happening Right Now. Southern California Edison (SCE) is having a public engagement meeting. This event is at the San Juan Community Center until 7:00 pm. The Community Center is located at 25925 Camino Del Avion.
This is s Decommissioning Education Fair.
The Fair at 5:00pm had a equal amount of citizens and SCE employees. The employees were smiling and very approachable. When you first entered there was one table set up to explain why it will take 20 years to decommission San Onofre. The rest of the room was filled with a variety of information relating to energy. There was a emphasis on alternative energy sources. There was a lovely food buffet for the Community to enjoy. There was also a child arts and crafts area set up. There was no children there when I was there. The parking lot out front was full. There is parking available in the back.
I spoke to one concerned citizen name Geri from Laguna Beach. She has been attending all of the meetings. She spoke to SCE about why it is going to take 20 years to decommission.
The Community members I spoke with all shared one main concern. Public safety. They thought that having San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station shut down was a positive event for public safety. Hearing that it will take 20 years to shut down was very disheartening.
When I was leaving I heard a concerned citizen tell other concerned citizens, “…SONGS is just more of that old song and dance.”

In their September 23 2014 Press Release announcing the event, SCE states,
“…San Onofre’s key leaders will be on hand to answer questions about SCE’s plan to decommission San Onofre within 20 years and safely manage the plant’s used nuclear fuel. ”
“The education fair is just one part of Southern California Edison’s comprehensive effort to inform and engage Californians every step of the way as we decommission San Onofre,” said Chris Thompson, SCE’s vice president of SCE.
SCE and the other owners of San Onofre have established an 18-member Community Engagement Panel to advise the owners on the nuclear plant’s decommissioning. Documents reviewed by the CEP are available on the San Onofre website, along with videotapes of the panel’s meetings. Members of the public also may sign up here to receive regular email updates about the $4.4 billion decommissioning project.

SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

SMOKE ADVISORY

Valid Saturday, September 13, 2014

A wildland brush fire, named the Silverado Fire, is burning in the Silverado Canyon in the mountains of Orange County, south of the City of Corona in Riverside County. This morning it was reported to be 1600 acres with 10 percent containment. Smoke from the fire is mostly lofting into the atmosphere and visible over portions of Orange County and Riverside County. In locations were the smoke is impacting the surface, air quality will reach unhealthful levels.

Areas of direct smoke impacts and Unhealthy air quality will likely include:
the Saddleback Valley Area (Forecast Area 19);
portions of the Corona/Norco Area (Forecast Area 22);
portions of the Lake Elsonore Area (Forecast Area 25);
portions of the Capistrano Valley Area (Forecast Area 21).

Surrounding areas of Orange and Riverside Counties may reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups level, or higher, depending on continuing fire conditions and wind flows. Onshore sea breeze flows will likely keep smoke from the coastal areas through this afternoon.

Current fire information from the U.S. Forest Service can be found at
http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4105/

In any area impacted by smoke: Everyone should avoid any vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion; people with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children should remain indoors. Keep windows and doors closed or seek alternate shelter. Run your air conditioner if you have one. Keep the fresh air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent bringing additional smoke inside. To avoid worsening the health effects of wildfire smoke, don’t use indoor or outdoor wood-burning appliances, including fireplaces.
