TD2210880 Dirt Road Project (Notification of Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-LAN-57375-R5

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Southern California Edison, through its representative Warnetta Logan, to conduct minor alterations to the Santa Clara River in Santa Clarita, California, under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-LAN-57375-R5, as mandated by Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project involves installing a single corrugated-steel-concrete-filled caisson and a wood utility pole (Pole 5036222E) along a 20-foot segment of the river as part of the Racer 16kV distribution line upgrade. Activities will result in temporary impacts of 0.111 acre and permanent impacts of 0.001 acre, primarily affecting scale broom scrub and unvegetated riverbed areas, with access occurring across 197 feet of the river corridor. Work will include vegetation crushing and trampling during site access, as well as ground disturbance from excavation, but all impacts are confined to existing utility infrastructure and are not intended to expand its use. Full restoration is required upon completion, including regrading the channel to its original contours, removing all construction waste, and restoring the ecological and morphological integrity of the riverbed. The project is exempt from full environmental review under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, as it constitutes a minor alteration to an existing public utility structure without expansion of use. Oversight and compliance are managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 5 – South Coast, with Andrew Chambers serving as the primary environmental scientist contact. The agreement does not establish a federal procurement contract, and therefore contains no FAR clauses, CLINs, pricing, or traditional contract administration details such as invoicing mechanisms, payment offices, or acquisition data. Instead, it functions as a regulatory permit under state law, with the permittee responsible for adherence to environmental mitigation and restoration conditions. There is no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, or contract value, as the document serves as an authorization for compliance with environmental statutes rather than a bid award or procurement instrument. No formal representations, certifications, or socioeconomic declarations are included, and all requirements are tied to environmental restoration and regulatory compliance rather than contractual performance metrics.
