SIE 89 Replace Fencing (EA 03-2N330)

The California Department of Transportation District 3 is executing an emergency project, titled SIE 89 Replace Fencing (EA 03-2N330), to address fencing damaged by winter storms. The scope of work involves mobilization, the removal and replacement of fence poles as required, the installation of new fencing, and incidental work on State Route 89 in Sierra County, specifically from post mile 0.50 to 1.69. The primary objective of the project is to replace damaged infrastructure to ensure wildlife is directed into existing undercrossings, thereby reducing unsafe interactions with motorists. All work will be performed within the Caltrans Right-of-Way. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and was processed with a completion date of October 16, 2025. It has been determined that the project is exempt under CEQA statutes, specifically Class 1(d) for existing facilities, and is categorically excluded under NEPA regulations, as no significant environmental impacts are anticipated and no additional permits are required. Jason Ammerman serves as the primary point of contact and lead agency representative for the project.
