I-80 CAPM Antelope to Sierra College, EA 03-2J170

The I-80 CAPM Antelope to Sierra College Project (EA 03-2J170), managed by the California Department of Transportation District 3, focuses on preserving and extending the service life of pavement and drainage systems on Interstate 80. The project scope spans from 0.7 miles east of the Antelope Road Overcrossing to 0.4 miles east of the Sierra College Boulevard Overcrossing, covering postmiles 17.4 in Sacramento County to 7.8 in Placer County. Key objectives include improving safety and mobility for freight and the general public, enhancing pedestrian safety, and upgrading facilities to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Construction is projected for 2028 and will take place within Caltrans Right-of-Way and three Temporary Construction Easements. The project is certified as categorically exempt under CEQA and NEPA, with no significant environmental impacts identified. Compliance requirements include strict adherence to biological resource protections, noise control, and hazardous waste specifications. Specific deliverables include a Water Diversion Plan to be submitted 10 days before construction begins and the installation of full trash capture devices to comply with the Statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Contractors must implement invasive species control by removing all soil, plant materials, and animal remnants from equipment. Additionally, the project requires a designated representative and a qualified biologist to be coordinated with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
