LAKEPORT — A mandatory settlement meeting for the civil case against the county in connection with the Bottle Rock Power, LLC (BRP) expansion project had been postponed from the original mid-June date and is now scheduled to occur Wednesday.
An attorney representing the not-for-profit group Friends of Cobb Mountain filed a petition in May asking the court to reverse decisions made by the Lake County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approving the BRP project.
The expansion project proposes to construct two new geothermal well pads, drill up to 22 production and injection wells and add about 1.3 miles of new pipeline on roughly 470 acres of surface land the company currently leases on High Valley Road in Cobb.
The petition lists the County of Lake and the BOS as respondents. BRP is among three “real parties in interest.”
The settlement meeting had been scheduled for June 15, but the petitioner needed additional time to prepare and negotiated an extension, which was agreed upon by all parties, according to Friends of Cobb Mountain Chair Hamilton Hess.
The settlement meeting, which is not open to the public, is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Lake County Courthouse.
