TD1716691 and TD1750051 Silver Lake Meadows Deteriorated Pole Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MOO- 48143-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has amended Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MOO-48143-R6 to authorize Southern California Edison to perform targeted infrastructure upgrades at multiple pole locations in Mono County, California, under the authority of Fish and Game Code Section 1602. The amended project involves replacing five deteriorated utility poles and installing associated infrastructure, including three sonotubes—two made of cardboard and one plastic—four ground rods, two anchor replacements, one riser replacement, and a splice box (X5765118) with associated ducting. These activities are concentrated at specific sites including Pole 1930105E, Pole 1600180E, Pole 24962S, Pole 24959S, and Pole 1600181E, all within wetland areas near Silver Lake, Rush Creek, and Reversed Creek in the unincorporated community of June Lake. The amendments result in an increase in temporary environmental impacts from 0.788 to 0.847 acres and permanent impacts from 0.001 to 0.0036 acre, all of which are subject to state environmental regulations. The project is exempt from further environmental review under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301(b) and (d), which permits the restoration of existing utility facilities for public health and safety. Contact for the state agency is Kyle Maxwell, Environmental Scientist, and for Southern California Edison, it is Victoria Parsons, Senior Manager. No federal contracting elements such as FAR clauses, pricing data, evaluation factors, or formal procurement specifications are included, as this is a state-regulated environmental compliance action rather than a federal procurement.
