Section 4.5 states that the project would be .19 percent of IID’s total estimated demand in
2031. We are not interested in the demand in 2031. We are interested in the demand when the Wave Park
is operating 7AM to 10pm, 365 days a year, in 2023. Please provide information from IID that states that
power will be available at that rate required for the wave machinery in 2023. In addition, with IID’s
aggressive peak demand energy efficiency programs, we would like to see incorporated into the EIR that IID
understands that the Wave Park’s peak hours of energy demand will be 6pm to 10pm, especially in the
summer during our extreme heat and how IID and the Coral Mountain project plans to address that.
In addition, section 4.7 Greenhouse Gas Emissions, references greenhouse gas credits but bypasses the actual
discussion of the significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions as the result of the huge amount of
electricity that is required to be produced to generate waves by the Wave Pool machinery, from 7AM to
10PM, 365 days per year. We want a full accounting in the EIR of the greenhouse gas emissions, both from
electrical power creation, and from the cement production required for the 16.7 acres wave basin.
