The California Coastal Commission unanimously approved plans for a desalination plant in Dana Point, just five months after rejecting one in Huntington Beach.
The South Coast Water District plant pegged for Doheny State Beach would operate differently than the plans for the Poseidon Plant in Huntington Beach, which were shut down by the commission's rejection in May.
The facility would also use a "brine discharge system that would route the facility's effluent to the South Orange County Wastewater Authority's nearby wastewater treatment plant," according to the staff report.
