Encroachment Permit 1225-6US-0736

Encroachment Permit 1225-6US-0736 authorizes Southern California Edison to remove and replace a deteriorated transmission pole, identified as pole 848966E/TD2246774, located along State Route 39 (Beach Boulevard) in Westminster, California. The replacement pole will be installed in the existing hole at Postmile 7.59 on the sidewalk along the east side of the roadway, approximately 140 feet southwest of Westminster Boulevard. The project is managed by Caltrans District 12 and has been granted a categorical exemption under CEQA and NEPA, as it involves existing highway facilities. The scope of work requires strict adherence to Encroachment Permit General Provisions (TR-0045) and Stormwater Special Provisions (TR-0400), including compliance with the Caltrans Statewide NPDES Permit and the Storm Water Management Plan. Key operational requirements include the reuse of soil within work limits or the legal disposal of excess soil outside the state right-of-way. Environmental safeguards are mandatory, including a pre-construction biological survey by a qualified biologist if vegetation is removed during the nesting bird season from February 1 to September 30. Additionally, the permittee must immediately stop work and submit a Sampling and Analysis Plan and a Health and Safety Plan if contaminated materials are encountered. Verification of waste disposal through generator forms and shipping manifests must be provided to the State Permit Inspector.
