TD2061417 Mead Valley Deteriorated Pole Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-RIV-56693-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration EPIMS-RIV-56693-R6 to Southern California Edison authorizing the replacement of two deteriorated wood utility poles—Poles 213262S and 2307369E—along a tributary to Lake Mathews in Mead Valley, Riverside County. The project involves minimal ground disturbance impacting 0.029 acre of resources regulated under Fish and Game Code Section 1602 and is conducted under a categorical exemption for the rehabilitation of existing facilities per California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15301(b and d). Work is limited to removing the old poles and installing new wood poles to maintain utility reliability and public safety, with no expansion or significant alteration of the existing infrastructure. The project site is located on privately owned land with geographic coordinates 33.83668, -117.32011, and inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with oversight shared between the contractor and the state agency responsible for environmental compliance. The notification, posted on September 15, 2025, and received for filing on September 12, 2025, was processed through the California Environmental Quality Act framework and does not constitute a federal procurement contracting action. No formal contract value, pricing, or financial terms are provided, and federal acquisition regulations including FAR clauses, packaging standards, evaluation factors, or payment details do not apply. Key contacts include Kyle Maxwell from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as the reviewing environmental scientist and Warnetta Logan of Southern California Edison as the project manager. No socioeconomic set-asides, contractor certifications, unique entity identifiers, or special contractual requirements such as key personnel mandates, security clearances, or options are included. The project is framed solely as a regulatory notification for minor streambed alteration, with compliance verified through adherence to state environmental laws rather than through formal federal contract administration structures.
