Oil Seep Roadway Repair

The primary objective of the project is to repair damaged roadway on State Route 58 at post mile 14.9 in McKittrick, Kern County, California. The work is necessitated by oil seeping through the existing asphalt and is critical to preventing the failure of the transportation system. All activities will be performed on pavement within the Caltrans right of way under NAICS code 237310. The project is classified as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it pertains to maintenance repairs on existing facilities, indicating no significant environmental impact. Robert Scott, a Senior Environmental Scientist, serves as the primary point of contact and lead agency representative. The project was formally documented via a Notice of Exemption dated September 16, 2025.
