Lawyer wants city to restart EIR for new Chargers stadium

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A Los Angeles-area lawyer wants the city of San Diego to completely restart its environmental study of a proposed stadium project in Mission Valley, according to documents made available to City News Service.

The demand from attorney Douglas Carstens of Hermosa Beach was among public comments submitted Friday regarding a draft environmental impact report compiled for the project, designed to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium and keep the Chargers from leaving for Los Angeles.

Friday was the deadline for the public to comment on the draft EIR. A total of 18 submissions were received -- many offering technical remarks and questions, but some were critical regarding the document.
