Cable Slope Repair DDO

The Cable Slope Repair DDO project, managed by Caltrans District 9 in Bishop, focuses on repairing erosion damage to shoulders, slopes, and guardrails on State Route 58 from postmile 88.8 to 89.1 in Kern County. The project is necessitated by concentrated roadway drainage overflowing existing facilities, which has caused damage to the shoulder and guardrail posts. The primary objective is to restore these areas and increase the hydraulic capacity of the roadside dike to prevent future erosion. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of 40 feet of the guardrail and dike, the extension of both the guardrail and dike, and the placement of shoulder backing. All activities and staging areas must be confined to the Caltrans right-of-way, with ground disturbance limited strictly to previously disturbed shoulders. This project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is categorically exempt under CEQA 15301 Class 1(c) as it involves the repair of existing infrastructure without expanding the existing use.
