TD2438742 Central Avenue Deteriorated Pole Replacement Project

The project involves replacing a deteriorated wood pole, identified as Pole 4525522E, along with its ground rod, using a new composite pole installed within a plastic sonotube. This work includes the removal of an existing berm surrounding the pole and the restoration of approximately 80 feet of a pre-existing drainage channel to its original grade, ensuring proper water flow and environmental compliance. The effort is part of infrastructure maintenance to enhance reliability and reduce long-term maintenance needs by transitioning from wood to a more durable composite material. The project is administered by the State Water Resources Control Board under the California office, with environmental oversight and coordination. Robert Stoddard, the Environmental Scientist, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, while Victoria Parsons, Senior Manager of Wetlands and Water Quality at SCE, is listed as an additional contact, indicating collaboration with utility partners. The forecast was posted on June 4, 2026, suggesting planning for future action, with the work location in California, though no specific city or zip code is provided. The project emphasizes environmental restoration as a key component, aligning with the agency’s mandate to protect water quality and natural drainage systems.
