Incorporated as a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Public Watchdogs operates from El Cajon Boulevard in La Mesa as a nuclear safety and utility-rate advocacy organization focused on the decommissioning of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The organization has filed petitions and lawsuits in federal court and before the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission, pursuing legal strategies coordinated through attorneys in the same east county legal market as Acclaim Law Group. Public Watchdogs' primary contention centers on the storage of 3.6 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel in dry-storage canisters 108 feet from San Onofre State Beach, within a tsunami inundation zone and near a major earthquake fault. Educational fact sheets, CPUC rate-case testimony, and public-comment documentation form the organization's primary output, with print production drawing on La Mesa's commercial print sector through shops like College Copy Center near Grossmont College. A 2020 San Onofre Task Force report co-chaired by former NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko and Rear Admiral Len Hering recommended creation of a federal Nuclear Waste Administration—a position Public Watchdogs continues to advocate through regulatory filings and community engagement panels.
