Title

El Dorado County Broadband Fiber Project

Description

The County is proposing to expand access to fiber optic broadband technology throughout the unincorporated and incorporated areas of the County. The proposed Project would install fiber optic lines either underground in buried conduits, overhead on existing or newly constructed utility poles, or in a combination of both. It is anticipated that the depth of excavation for buried conduits would be 5 feet. Additionally, the maximum height of new utility poles would be 100 feet. The majority of future broadband infrastructure would be constructed within the typical roadway cross-section within the unincorporated areas of the County, the incorporated cities of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, or California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans’) public rights-of-way (ROW). However, broadband infrastructure could also be constructed on private disturbed land and federal land.
