Poseidon’s Carlsbad Plant desalination vote delayed until May

From the North County Times:

A crucial vote on a controversial desalination plant has been delayed, as a government agency grapples with how much environmental compensation to require.

The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board voted Wednesday to put off its decision until May 13, to give its staff time to draw up the compensation plans. The board closed the hearing, meaning no new evidence or testimony will be considered at the next meeting.

Poseidon Resources Corp., the plant’s prospective builder, made encouraging progress at the hearing, said Scott Maloni, a vice president of the Stamford, Conn.-based company.

“We think it’s a significant milestone,” Maloni said. “They ended the public debate over the project, and they agreed to come back next month and make a decision. The time delay is insignificant in comparison to the milestone of the public debate coming to a close.”
