LNU Walker Ridge Communication Relocation Project

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE, is planning to relocate communication equipment from its current communication vault to an adjacent existing vault owned by the Bureau of Land Management. This project involves installing antennas on the BLM tower, implementing grounding systems that meet Motorola R56 standards, and making minor adjustments within the BLM facility to accommodate the new equipment. The existing CAL FIRE vault and monopole will be decommissioned and removed, with all disturbed areas restored to their original condition. The work is designed to improve operational efficiency without expanding the physical footprint of the site. All activities are confined to the current infrastructure, ensuring no new land disturbance or expansion occurs. The project is forecasted with a posted date of July 9, 2026, and is being managed by CAL FIRE’s Environmental Planning team. Primary contact for inquiries is Christina Snow, Senior Environmental Planner, who can be reached via email or phone for further details. The project is located in California, and while specific city and zip information are not provided, performance will occur at the BLM site adjacent to the existing CAL FIRE facility.
