The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-SBR-45461-R6, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Hazem Gabr/Southern California Edison.
The project is limited to removing and replacing two deteriorated distribution poles (Poles 428947S and 428949S) within several feet of the existing poles. The poles are
accessible by truck via an unpaved road and a total of approximately 945 feet of

excavated by backhoe. The area of soil disturbance (i.e., excavation, side casting, and backfill) would be limited to an approximate 10-foot radius around each pole and the work area (i.e., staging and operation of construction personnel) would be limited to a 25-foot buffer around the poles. No vegetation trimming or removal will occur.
