SCE Encroachment Permit 12-25-6-US-0489

Southern California Edison is undertaking the replacement of a single deteriorated utility pole, identified as 295583E, located on State Route 39 at Post Mile 11.08 in the City of Stanton, California. The project is entirely funded by private resources and remains within the state right-of-way, with soil disturbance limited to less than one acre. Administered by Caltrans District 12, the project has been granted a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301(b), which applies to maintenance activities for existing utility facilities, thereby exempting it from full environmental review under CEQA. The exemption was formally approved with a posted date of September 10, 2025, and signed off on September 9, 2025, by Smita Deshpande, Senior Environmental Scientist at Caltrans. The project does not involve federal funding, nor is it governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation; instead, it operates under state permitting procedures as an encroachment permit, designated as 12-25-6-US-0489. There is no solicitation number, contract value, pricing, or performance timeline provided, and no formal contract type is designated other than a forecast alert. Inspection and acceptance are expected at the project site in Stanton, with Caltrans serving as the lead agency responsible for oversight. The primary point of contact for environmental and permitting matters is Sunny Saroa, Associate Environmental Planner, reachable through Caltrans District 12. No subcontracting requirements, socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, or special contract clauses are applicable or documented, and the work is considered a minor maintenance action with no anticipated environmental impact beyond the immediate work area.
