“During the past 5 years, I have managed Aspen’s work on two major transmission line projects at the CPUC: the Los Banos-Gates (“Path 15″) 500 kV project and the Jefferson-Martin 230 kV Transmission Project. Both EIRs were prepared under intense schedule pressure and a high level of public scrutiny and controversy. Despite the situation, Aspen’s work resulted in on-time completion of high-quality environmental documents…We greatly appreciate Aspen’s continued commitment to quality and its responsiveness to the CPUC’s needs during the work on these important CPUC projects.”

“I (relied) on Aspen… to present and translate very technical and scientific information into language that could be understood by our elected officials, managers and community working group members, which was key to gaining their support for the watershed plan. This complex project – which resulted in the first watershed management plan in San Diego County to be adopted by the affected jurisdictional councils and boards, was completed on time and under budget – a project manager’s dream.”

“APPA was (and is) extremely pleased with the results of the six-month effort by Aspen Environmental Group to prepare the major natural gas study we released to key federal policy makers in July 2010 (and that continues to be relevant today). Their work was professionally prepared, on time, and exactly at the agreed upon budget. I would not hesitate to use them again on a similar project.”
