EMS/Census Station Replacement

The EMS/District Census Replacement project, managed by Caltrans District 9 in Bishop, focuses on the upgrade and rehabilitation of existing census stations and avalanche control warning lights. The primary objective is to replace EMS avalanche beacons and census stations that have reached their technology end-of-life dates or are malfunctioning. These upgrades are critical for maintaining accurate vehicle counts and ensuring the continued functionality of avalanche warnings. The work will be performed at various spot locations within Inyo and Mono counties, specifically near Bishop, Mammoth Lakes, and June Lake. This project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237990 and has been granted a categorical exemption under Class 1(c) as it is determined that the activities will not impact known environmental resources. Rebeka Riesen serves as the primary environmental scientist and point of contact for the agency.
