The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Pacific Gas and Electric Company to conduct horizontal directional drilling under seven culvert crossings along Caribou Road in Plumas County to install a conduit for replacing an underground electrical transmission cable destroyed during the Dixie Fire. This action is formalized through Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. PLU-61993-R2, issued under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, and qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically Classes 2c, 2d, and 4f, which recognize the project’s minimal environmental impact as a replacement of existing infrastructure with low disturbance to seasonal and year-round streams. The work is confined to the road prism of Caribou Road and spans geospatial coordinates from latitude 40.02257, longitude -121.21714 to latitude 40.06714, longitude -121.18113, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities resting with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at the project site.

The contractor is responsible for executing the HDD work in accordance with state streambed alteration standards and industry best practices, with no additional contractual clauses, special requirements, representations, socioeconomic certifications, or security provisions outlined.
