Document Description
The California Department of Transportation proposes to undertake geotechnical drilling on State Route 299 in Trinity County, approximately 52 miles west of Weaverville. The 50 foot holes will be drilled within the location area. Drilling is necessary to determine the characteristics of the subsurface and to provide design considerations for the planned future road improvement project. This environmental certification is only for the drilling activities associated with geotechnical studies. Studies for the proposed future project will be undertaken, determinations made, and the conclusions circulated at a later date. An environmental review was conducted to determine if drilling would result in an adverse effect upon the environment. The review consisted of ground surveys, database inquiries for sensitive biological and archaeological resources. Based on these studies, it was determined that the geotechnical drilling would not result in a potentially significant adverse effect upon the environment.
