Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration
Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-LAN-37422-R5, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Southern California Edison (Permittee), as represented by Victoria Parsons.
The project consists of the removal and replacement of a wood utility pole (Pole 1059471E), replacement of the pole’s associated caisson, replacement of the pole’s anchor rod, and the remediation of project areas. Access for the project requires 200 linear feet of overland vehicle travel through California sagebrush – black sage scrub, and 365 linear feet of overland travel along the Santa Clara Riverbed consisting of unvegetated streambed, and Fremont cottonwood forest and woodland. Access to the pole requires the crushing of channel vegetation within these natural communities, and the project will result in 0.07-acre of temporary impacts to the Santa Clara River. The project also includes the remediation of all project areas, including the regrading of channel areas back to their pre-project contours, removal of project generated wastes, and the restoration of channel ecology and morphology upon completion of the project.
