Encroachment Permit 12-25-6-US-0710, managed by Caltrans District 12 in Orange County, authorizes the removal and replacement of one wood transmission pole on the BARRE-SHAWNEE-TRASK 66KV line. The project is located on the west side of Beach Boulevard in the City of Stanton, approximately 890 feet south of Chapman Avenue. The scope involves replacing a 70-foot pole with a new 75-foot pole, with all work occurring within a 50-foot buffer. The estimated project duration is two working days, and while no vegetation removal is required, traffic and pedestrian controls may be necessary. The project is categorically exempt under CEQA Class 1(b) and qualifies for a NEPA categorical exclusion. Compliance is required with Caltrans Standard Specification 14-9 (2024) for construction impacts, as well as the Encroachment Permit General Provisions (TR-0045) and Stormwater Special Provisions (TR-0400). Environmental mandates include adherence to the Caltrans Statewide NPDES Permit and the Statewide NPDES General Permit for Construction and Land Disturbance Activities. Strict protocols are in place for hazardous materials, requiring the submission of a Sampling and Analysis Plan and a Health and Safety Plan by a Certified Industrial Hygienist. Additionally, the permittee must stop work and notify the State Permit Inspector if contaminated materials or cultural and paleontological resources are encountered.
