The work will involve heavy equipment such as excavators, cranes, dump trucks, bucket trucks, and aerial support to carry out overhead and underground line maintenance aimed at reducing wildfire risk. The permit allows for incidental take of two candidate species under the California Endangered Species Act: the Quino Checkerspot Butterfly and Crotch’s Bumble Bee, with an estimated permanent loss of 2.65 acres of butterfly habitat and 2.52 acres of bumble bee habitat, alongside temporary impacts totaling 0.11 and 0.10 acres respectively. Mitigation measures and habitat management strategies are required to accompany project implementation in compliance with the permit conditions.
