Adelanto Switching Station Expansion Project

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed an amendment to Incidental Take Permit No. 2081(b)-2021-044-06-02 for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power regarding the Adelanto Switching Station Expansion Project. Located on a 315-acre fenced property in Adelanto, San Bernardino County, the project is governed by Section 2081(b) of the Fish and Game Code. This specific amendment provides the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power with additional time to fulfill Habitat Management Land Acquisition requirements or purchase necessary mitigation credits without increasing the total acres of impact to covered species. The project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and requires adherence to a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan adopted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Key compliance mandates include the implementation of additional mitigation measures as a condition of approval and the payment of environmental filing fees pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.4. A Notice of Determination issued on June 26, 2026, confirms that the project will not significantly affect the environment within the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
