result of the applicant’s final engineering of project elements. The CPUC will only grant approval of an MPR if the refinement achieves or exceeds the level of environmental protection approved in the Final EIR, is consistent with CEQA requirements, and complies with the intent of the mitigation measures in the Final EIR. The CPUC will require a Petition for Modification for any request that does not meet all of the criteria of an MPR. 9.4.1 Minor Project Refinements Request Process The applicant’s request for CPUC staff approval of an MPR must be made in writing and should include the following information: A detailed description of the proposed MPR, including an explanation of why the MPR is necessary; Photos, maps, and other supporting documentation illustrating the difference between the existing conditions in the project area, the approved project, and the proposed MPR; A discussion of each environmental impact of the proposed MPR with supporting data verifying that the proposed MPR would not increase an existing impact of the project or create a new impact, after application of previously adopted mitigation; Whether the MPR conflicts with any Project Commitments or mitigation measures; Whether the MPR conflicts with any applicable guideline, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order, decision, statute, or policy; and Construction schedule of the MPR. The CPUC staff may request additional information, agency consultations, or a site visit in order to process the request. The CPUC staff will process the MPR once it is determined that sufficient information about the MPR has been received. The CPUC Project Manager will provide the applicant with a denied MPR with provided justification or a signed, approved MPR.
