PG&E is undertaking the Carberry Substation Highway 299 Fiber Project, which involves infrastructure installations within the California Department of Transportation right of way along State Route 299 in Shasta County, specifically from post mile 68.62 to 68.88 near Burney. The scope of work includes installing a new riser, down guy wire, and anchor on existing pole 103122524, laying approximately 1,729 lineal feet of 4-inch underground conduit, excavating multiple 5x5x5 bore pits, and installing four buried vaults. All activities are governed by Caltrans Encroachment Permit 02-26-6-US-0237 and must adhere to a site-specific traffic control plan for shoulder and lane closures. The project is managed by Caltrans District 2 in Redding, with David DeMar serving as the primary point of contact. From an environmental standpoint, the project has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA Section 15304 for Minor Alterations to Land, as the work consists of minor trenching and backfilling with surface restoration and is determined to have no significant environmental effect. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 for highway, street, and bridge construction.
