Permit No. 20107- Authorize Existing Utility Pole at Elk Slough

Permit No. 20107, issued by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, authorizes the continued existence of a 45-foot-tall wooden electric distribution pole installed 7.5 feet deep within the levee at Elk Slough. This utility pole, utilized by Pacific Gas and Electric, supports an 8-inch slant pump. The authorization is governed by the Supplement to Standard Operation and Maintenance Manual Sacramento River Flood Control Project, Unit No. 113, which covers the East Levee of Yolo Bypass and surrounding levees bordering Reclamation District No. 999. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 and is located in California. According to the Notice of Exemption submitted to the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, the project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301 for existing facilities, as it involves negligible expansion of current use. Primary coordination for this permit is managed by Senior Environmental Scientist Angela R Nguyen-Tan of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and Planner Laura Navarro of PG&E.
