AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Major Amendment No. 7 to Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2022-064-04, authorizing SoCalGas to incidentally take the Tipton kangaroo rat, San Joaquin antelope squirrel, and San Joaquin kit fox. The project involves inspecting and repairing five segments of the 26-inch natural gas pipeline Line 85 near Milepost 75.85 in Kern County, California, to address identified anomalies and install cathodic protection for pipeline safety. Key activities include installing a new concrete pad for a cabinet rectifier and rerouting a gas tap to connect to a new Thermal Electric Generator across six work areas adjacent to the California Aqueduct. This amendment extends the permit expiration date to December 31, 2026, and provides an additional 18 months to complete the HM Lands requirement. It also expands Work Area 6 from 1,500 to 3,375 square feet to accommodate additional parking and laydown areas. The project results in temporary impacts to 0.76 acres and permanent impacts to 2.67 square feet of habitat for the covered species. To mitigate these effects, the permit requires monthly compliance reports, the establishment of avoidance zones, worker education, species relocation, and permanent habitat protection.
