BUT-70 Roadway Dip (EA 03-2N940)

The BUT-70 Roadway Dip project, identified as EA 03-2N940 and EFIS 0326000262, is a forecast construction effort managed by the California Department of Transportation Caltrans District 3. Located on State Route 70 at post mile 41.44 in Butte County, the project's primary objective is to repair an undermined section of roadway and failed pavement to eliminate hazards to motorists and prevent further structural deterioration. The scope of work includes the placement of hot mix asphalt, aggregate base, rock slope protection, and Geogrid fabric, as well as striping, traffic control, and other incidental work. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and has been determined exempt under CEQA Class 1(d) for existing facilities and categorically excluded under NEPA regulations, as the work repairs failed pavement without expanding the existing facility. Key personnel overseeing the project include Project Manager John Wong, Senior Environmental Planner Joshua Faughn, and Environmental Scientist Jason Ammerman. Environmental determination forms were signed in July 2026, confirming that no significant environmental impacts are expected and no additional agency consultations or permits are required.
