Use Permit #24-02 Verizon Wireless - Beegum

Verizon Wireless seeks to construct a telecommunications facility at 17025 Southlake Road, Cottonwood, CA 96022, within a 50x50-foot leased parcel designated as R1-A-MH:B435 and RL Rural Residential, with APN 007-420-045. The project includes a 130-foot monopole mounting eight panel antennas and eight radio units, four wireless Raycaps, four Air 6419 antennas, four future wireless radios, and two 6x12 hybrid cables, all housed within a 14x10x10-foot equipment shelter powered by a 30kw diesel generator meeting UL 142 standards. The entire site is enclosed by an 8-foot chain-link fence with brown privacy slats and features a 12-foot-wide access gate. The facility is subject to a Use Permit #24-02 issued by Tehama County, with public review occurring from August 27 to September 27, 2025. All work must comply with CEQA and California environmental regulations, including biological surveys for protected species such as Crotch’s bumble bee and Bald Eagle, and adherence to CDFW survey protocols and the California Endangered Species Act. Cultural resource protections require immediate work stoppage upon unexpected discovery of artifacts or human remains, mandatory tribal monitoring during ground-disturbing activities, and completion of cultural sensitivity training for all personnel. Installation is contingent upon obtaining a grading permit from Tehama County Public Works before any construction begins. The project site lies in a rural residential zone, and all equipment and infrastructure must conform to local land use, air and water quality, and hazardous material screening standards. No federal contract value, pricing, or procurement clauses are documented; instead, this is an environmental permitting process led by Tehama County Planning Department, with Jessica Martinez as primary contact and Christopher Roth representing the applicant. Full compliance and mitigation verification will be conducted on-site by county, state, and tribal agencies to achieve formal acceptance.
