TD2193635 Pine Creek Preventative Maintenance Project (Notification of Streambed Alteration, No., EPIMS-INY-63407-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Southern California Edison to proceed with the removal and replacement of a single 60-foot-tall wooden utility pole, identified as Pole 1830633E, with a new 60-foot-tall composite pole, installed within a 17-inch-diameter plastic pipe. This activity, conducted under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-INY-63407-R6 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, is part of the Pine Creek Preventative Maintenance Project and involves the use of a helicopter, hand tools such as augers and shovels, and personnel support vehicles. The work is expected to temporarily disturb 0.007 acre, or 19 linear feet, of streambed resources and result in a permanent impact of less than 0.0001 acre, equivalent to one linear foot, on protected areas subject to regulatory oversight. The project is coordinated through Region 6 – Inland Deserts in Ontario, California, with official points of contact at both Southern California Edison and the Department of Fish and Wildlife responsible for communication and compliance.
