Document Description
Southern California Edison will replace two existing 70-foot wooden H-frame transmission structures with new steel poles, relocating each slightly to the east. Work includes installing new caissons and anchors, accessing sites by foot or truck, and trimming vegetation within 15 feet of the structures for safe construction. Soil from excavation will be temporarily stockpiled on tarps, caissons will be stabilized with native material and onsite-mixed concrete, and the old poles will be removed after wire transfer. All disturbed areas will be re-contoured and backfilled to match pre-project conditions.
