TD1777342 Tehachapi Oak Creek Rod Deteriorated Pole Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration No. EPIMS-KER-52976-R4

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-KER-52976-R4 to Southern California Edison Company for the replacement of a deteriorated wood utility pole, identified as Pole 4450834E, located on Bureau of Land Management land near Mojave in Kern County. The project involves removing the existing 65-foot-long, 13- to 14-inch-diameter pole and installing a replacement pole of comparable size within three feet of the original location, with no increase in function or capacity. This activity is conducted under the authority of Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code and is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA’s Class 2 categorical exemption for replacement of existing utility structures. The work occurs at coordinates 35.053858, -118.245347, approximately 0.36 mile west of Anjanette Avenue and 60th Street West, and is subject to compliance with the terms of the alteration agreement to minimize impacts on streambeds and surrounding waters. No contract price, payment terms, delivery schedule, or invoicing method is specified, as this is not a federal procurement contract but a regulatory permit. The project is administered by the department’s Region 4 office in Fresno, with Benessa Galvan serving as the primary environmental contact and Victoria Parsons as the project manager for Southern California Edison. There are no federal acquisition regulation clauses, special contract requirements, evaluation factors, or representations applicable, as the instrument is a state environmental compliance agreement and not a federal solicitation or procurement.
