ED 50 Roadway Dip (EA 03-2N070)

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 3 is managing the ED 50 Roadway Dip project (EA 03-2N070) to repair a roadway sinkhole on State Route 50 at post mile 18.05 in Placerville, El Dorado County. The scope of work includes site preparation, traffic control, sawcutting, excavation, slurry backfill, minor hot mix asphalt paving, and striping. All activities are confined to the existing Caltrans right-of-way, and the project is designed to ensure a structurally stable roadway and the safe reinstatement of traffic operations. The project is classified as a forecast and has been granted environmental clearance through a CEQA Class 1(d) exemption for existing facilities and a NEPA categorical exclusion under 23 CFR 771.117. These determinations confirm that the work involves routine maintenance and repair with no significant environmental impacts, requiring no additional permits or agency coordination. Administrative oversight is led by Project Manager Zabi Sakhi and Senior Environmental Planner Lisa Machado, with Jason Ammerman serving as the Environmental Scientist. No specific contract value, performance period, or formal evaluation criteria were provided, as the project is currently handled as a directed repair action.
