725-6US-2996- Install New Ground Bed at Pole

Caltrans has authorized AT&T California to perform a limited encroachment within its right-of-way at Zamperini Way and Pacific Coast Highway, State Route 1, post mile 15.24 in Torrance, to install a new grounding system at utility pole #675891H. The work involves a 10-foot horizontal excavation with a maximum depth of 50 inches and an average width of 12 inches to bury a #6 AWG bare copper wire ground bed, connected to two pneumatically driven 5/8-inch copper grounding rods, each 8 feet long. No relocation of existing utilities or acquisition of new right-of-way is required. Temporary traffic control measures will be implemented during construction to ensure public safety and minimize disruption. The project is strictly confined to the existing utility infrastructure and does not alter the surrounding right-of-way. The permit is issued under Caltrans District 7 - Los Angeles and is identified by the title 725-6US-2996 - Install New Ground Bed at Pole. The activity is forecasted and not yet awarded, with no solicitation number assigned. Primary correspondence for the project is handled by Mojgan Abbassi, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable via phone or email. The work location is clearly defined in Torrance, California, and all activities must adhere to Caltrans regulations regarding utility encroachments within state highway rights-of-way. No additional environmental or land use approvals are anticipated beyond this permit.
