Document Description
The proposed project would involve the installation of new conduit and cable by Right Way Permit Services, Inc. (Applicant) for purposes of providing internet service to the Solar Turbines facility in the city of San Diego, California. The new Solar Turbines facility service connection would be activated from a service vault to be installed within a City of San Diego (City) right-of-way (ROW), where a separate project for permit is in process with the City by the authorized Applicant. Following installation within the City ROW, conduit and cable from the service vault would extend towards the Solar Turbines leasehold property line. Once on the Solar Turbines leasehold area, the conduit and cable would extend approximately 64 feet south, then turn west to connect to an existing AT&T vault adjacent to the Solar Turbines facility driveway at West Juniper Street.
Work to specifically complete the project would include minor trenching within the landscaped area along the Solar Turbines facility in order to install the new conduit and cable, and an approximately 1-foot by 1-foot dirt pothole dug adjacent to the existing AT&T vault to intercept the existing conduit. The new conduit and cable would then split wye into the existing AT&T telco conduit, and would continue along an existing conduit path on the Solar Turbines facility rooftop to the Solar Turbines facility MPOE. Termination equipment for the new conduit and cable would be installed in the facility MPOE.
Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in Fall 2025 and would take approximately one (1) week to complete. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
