TD2181530 Huntington Lake Road Resiliency Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-FRE-60699-R4)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 4 – Central, Fresno, has authorized Southern California Edison Company to install two 10-foot long, 0.75-inch copper-clad ground rods at existing utility Pole 1648218E near Shaver Lake in Fresno County, under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-FRE-60699-R4, as permitted by Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project involves no replacement or removal of the pole and is classified as a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301, due to its minimal impact on the environment and lack of expansion beyond the existing use. The work is located approximately 0.09 miles northeast of Rockhaven Road and Tollhouse Road, 0.20 miles west of Shaver Lake, and 1.2 miles north of the town of Shaver Lake. The agreement serves as a regulatory authorization rather than a traditional procurement contract, and no pricing, payment terms, delivery schedules, or contractual clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation are applicable or included in the documentation. Benessa Galvan, Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, serves as the primary point of contact for regulatory oversight, while Warnetta Logan, General Manager at Southern California Edison Company, acts as the contractor representative. No formal contract value, invoicing instructions, accounting codes, or payment details have been provided, as the instrument is a regulatory notification rather than a competitive procurement. There are no specified performance metrics, inspection criteria beyond compliance with the agreement, packaging requirements, or evaluation factors because the activity does not involve a bidding process or formal acquisition. The project was approved by Regional Manager Julie A. Vance on December 16, 2025, and the notification was posted on December 23, 2025, with no amendments, modifications, or supplemental attachments referenced. All work must adhere strictly to the conditions outlined in the Streambed Alteration Agreement, with no additional specifications for materials, testing, or quality standards beyond the exemption’s environmental parameters.
