Permit No. 20080 – Kingsburg-Corcoran 115kV Structure Replacement: Cole Slough Transmission Line Crossing Project

The Kingsburg-Corcoran 115kV Structure Replacement project, managed by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board under Permit No. 20080, involves the removal of 11 existing lattice steel poles and their associated overhead wires. These structures will be replaced with new ones along the existing alignment in Kings County, California. The scope specifically addresses the 115kV electric transmission line aerial crossings at Cole Slough and the Kings River Designated Floodway, which were originally constructed in 1926. The project is designated as exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1, 2, and 4 categorical exemptions, as the work consists of minor alterations to existing facilities with no expansion of use and negligible land alteration. Key project coordination is handled by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and Pacific Gas and Electric, with primary points of contact including Laith Bander and Jennifer Calles. The work is situated at coordinates 36.461024 N and 119.591233 W, adhering to the California Public Resources Code.
