- California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2023-046-04 for the Line 85 Mile Post 55.91 Deep Well Anode Install Project (Project)
- Description
- The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued a California Endangered Species Act (CESA; Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.) Incidental Take Permit (ITP) No. 2081-2025-023-04 authorizing Southern California Gas Company to incidentally take giant kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ingens), a species listed as endangered under CESA (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 670.5, subd. (a)(6)(C)), and San Joaquin antelope squirrel (Ammospermophilus nelsoni) and San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica), species listed as threatened under CESA (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 670.5, subd. (b)(6)(B) and (b)(6)(E), respectively). The ITP authorizes take of giant kangaroo rat, San Joaquin antelope squirrel, and San Joaquin kit fox (Covered Species) for Project activities to install a deep well anode to Line 85 at approximate Mile Post 55.91 to distribute cathodic protection and protect the integrity of the pipeline from corrosion. The Project will ensure this pipeline complies with federal and state pipeline safety regulations and ensure a safe and constant supply of natural gas to customers. The Project will include vegetation removal, drilling new 8-inch diameter anode well to a depth of approximately 500 feet, installing associated wires within the well, capping and abandoning the existing anode well, trenching a 1-foot wide by 2-foot deep by 400-foot long excavation to install and connect the new anode wire conduits and structure wires, installing a well vent pipe, excavating a 10-foot wide by 10-foot long by 5-foot deep bellhole to connect electrical wires to the pipeline, and replacing the Electronic Test Station and aboveground fink head. Temporary disturbance areas will be returned to pre-project conditions and revegetated. The Project is expected to temporarily disturb 0.35 acre of Covered Species habitat.
