Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan Draft EIR

The project involves the approval and construction of a 400-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS) on 15.94 acres located at 13620 Live Oak Lane in Irwindale, California, within the boundaries of the previously approved Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan. The development includes an on-site 1,200-square-foot operations and maintenance building, a collector substation, an overhead electrical tie-line, and a 130-foot Point of Change of Ownership pole to facilitate grid connection. All entitlements required for the project—Development Agreement No. 01-2025, Site Plan and Design Review No. 03-2025, and Zone Variance No. 01-2025—are conditioned upon full consistency with the certified Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2023020290), which serves as the governing environmental compliance standard under the California Environmental Quality Act. The city of Irwindale acts as the lead agency responsible for oversight, approvals, and final acceptance, with the project site designated as the exclusive place of performance. The applicant, San Gabriel Project I-IV LLC, is responsible for executing the project in accordance with all CEQA-mandated mitigation measures and planning requirements, though no federal contract clauses, pricing data, or procurement-specific terms are included in the documentation. The project timeline centers around environmental determinations made in December 2025, with no defined performance period or delivery schedule articulated. While the NAICS code 541620 is referenced, no federal acquisition regulations, contract types, payment instructions, inspection criteria beyond CEQA, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable or included. All submission processes and approvals are administered locally through the City of Irwindale’s planning and development channels, with public documentation accessible via the state’s CEQA portal and the city’s official website.
