725-6US-2548- Utility project

Caltrans is proposing to grant an encroachment permit to AT&T California for the installation of guy anchors on two existing joint-use utility poles located along southbound State Route 23 in Moorpark, Ventura County, between reference points R13.36 and R13.41. The work will involve minor excavation within the state right-of-way to install down guys, anchors, and a ground bed at one pole situated within the right-of-way and another pole immediately adjacent to it. The excavation will disturb approximately 13 square feet of soil with a maximum depth of 48 inches, an average width of 12 inches, and a maximum length of 13 feet. No relocation of public utilities is required, and no additional right-of-way will be acquired. Traffic control measures will be implemented to ensure safety during construction. The project is a utility-related activity under Caltrans District 7’s oversight, with no new infrastructure or significant land use changes involved. The work is classified as a forecasted utility project with no solicitation number assigned, and it was posted on January 13, 2026. Primary contact for inquiries is Mojgan Abbassi, Senior Environmental Scientist, who can be reached via phone or email provided. The project is limited in scope and impacts, focusing solely on anchoring upgrades to support existing utility poles without altering public utility lines or requiring new permits beyond the encroachment authorization.
