City Council Meeting
First Committee Briefing
LADWP originally briefed the Environmental Committee on April
7, 2023, on its planned hydrogen ready Scattergood facility
upgrade. Committee concerns about the project included:
• Needed more detail on the hydrogen fuel: will the hydrogen be produced
on site, stored on site, or trucked in from where?
• How can a hydrogen generation station be constructed if plans for the
actual hydrogen fuel source have not been determined?
• If trucks are to
be
used to
deliver, at what cadence
and are they green?
What route will
be
used?
Have traffic impacts been
discussed?

First Briefing Concerns (cont'd
• If pipelines are the preferred method of fuel delivery, what percentage of
hydrogen will be used and how long until 100% hydrogen is the fuel
source?
• What construction mitigation measures will be in place to address
hundreds of workers, construction vehicles and all associated emissions
that will impact El Segundo?
• How will LADWP ensure proper maintenance of facility, specifically safety
and emissions monitoring, and will there be fence -line monitors? With
AQIVID oversight?

Second Committee Briefing Questions
• If the air-cooled generation process no longer requires ocean cooling, why
does it need to be located at the aging coastal facility?
• Designand installation of an Air -Monitoring System in collaboration with
AQMD is highly recommended.
Community Benefits- El Segundo is not serviced by LADWP even though
the facility is located within the City, so what benefit does the community
gain or how can potential negative impacts be mitigated by the project?
Is there an opportunity for funding or construction of onsite EV charging or Hydrogen
filling stations.
Can a small percentage of the, -property be designated as parkland or protected El
Segundo Blue butterfly habitat.
Note: These comments have already been sent to LADWP.
