TD2070167 Soledad Canyon Road Grid Resiliency Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-LAN-52926-R5)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has amended Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-LAN-52926-R5 for the Soledad Canyon Road Grid Resiliency Project, conducted by Southern California Edison Company in Santa Clarita, California. The project involves infrastructure improvements within the Santa Clara River, specifically focusing on vegetation management, the installation and replacement of screw-plate anchors at utility poles 1059470E and 1059471E, and the removal of pole 1059471E. This amendment modifies the project access route to utilize Duane R Harte Park and the Santa Clara River Trail, which reduces temporary impacts to less than 0.401 acre and introduces helicopter setting for pole replacement. The agreement is categorically exempt under CEQA and carries an administrative amendment fee of 1,979.25 dollars. The agreement remains effective until January 20, 2030, and requires strict adherence to Fish and Game Code section 1600 et seq. Key obligations include the submission of a Protection Measure Reporting Plan, as-built designs, and GIS shapefiles via the EPIMS portal. Performance requirements mandate daily equipment maintenance to prevent leaks, post-storm inspections of project areas, and the presence of a Designated Monitor during all concrete pouring activities. To ensure environmental transparency, the permittee is prohibited from entering into confidentiality agreements with biological monitors that would impede communication with the agency. Final construction reports must be submitted within 60 days of the completion of activities.
