Caltrans D6 CVIN Encroachment Permit # 06-25-6-SV-1387

Caltrans District 6 has issued encroachment permit 06-25-6-SV-1387 to CVIN for the purpose of conducting environmental survey work within the City of Woodlake, Tulare County. The scope of work is centered at the intersection of State Route 245/Valencia Boulevard and Whitney Avenue at postmile 7.44. The activities consist of windshield surveys and occasional stops in designated pull-out areas to account for sensitive species. This project is classified as a ministerial permit issuance and is categorically exempt under Section 15306 Class 6 for basic data collection, as it does not result in significant environmental impact. Strict operational constraints are in place to ensure safety and environmental protection. All vehicles must remain within maintained, graded shoulder areas, and a safety notice must be displayed behind vehicles during stops. The permit explicitly prohibits any ground disturbance, vegetation disturbance, or wildlife trapping. The lead agency contact for this effort is Senior Environmental Scientist Alex Rangel, with Josie Parr serving as the authorized agent.
