Huntington Beach Desalination Project Set to Complete Permit Process
Poseidon seems pretty sure they are going to get their final permit. They are calling this a privately funded project. But it isn’t. Should our water be privatized?

The Coastal Development Permit is the last permit required for construction of the privately funded project. California Coastal Commission staff has determined Poseidon Resources’ application for a Coastal Development Permit is complete, clearing the way for a hearing on Poseidon’s proposed seawater desalination plant in Huntington Beach. The proposed Huntington Beach Desalination Project would create 50 million gal of drinking water per day. Construction is underway in Carlsbad for a similar desalination project.
The Coastal Commission hearing on the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) will be in November, Commission staff told Poseidon officials. The CDP is the last permit required for construction of the privately funded project.
