AT&T New Tower NW of Cactus Road & Hwy 395, Adelanto, SB County

Equipment The project scope is to construct one (1) seventy-five-foot (75’) high mono-eucalyptus with a twenty-six foot (26’) diameter branch span, within a twenty-four foot, two inch (24’-2”) by thirty-four foot, ten inch (34’-10”) lease area (842 square feet), surrounded by a new ten foot, eight inch (10’-8”) tall CMU wall enclosure with metal security lid (henceforth called “lease area”). Within the enclosure, AT&T will install one CWIC shelter, utility H-frame with telco panels and fused disconnects, and one 140-gallon backup diesel generator. A metal gate will access the equipment inside the enclosure. Other GPS antenna, electrical panels and meters will also be installed within the enclosure. The area will henceforth be referred to as the Project Site. Access/trenching (Revised) Access to the proposed site is via a twelve foot (12’) wide by approximately three hundred seventy-five foot (375’) non-exclusive vehicular path which will have a gravel base. The access will enter from Caliente Road to the west. Approximately two hundred forty feet (240’) of electrical and telco trenching will be required from the proposed site eastward toward Highway 395, then northerly along the Highway 395 right of way, to an existing utility pole for AT&T’s point of connection (POC). Construction Construction access is proposed from Caliente Road to the west. A short-term impact of this project will likely be the inconveniences created for short periods of time on residential traffic flows along Caliente and Cactus Roads. Construction is estimated to take 6 to 8 weeks, though not continuously during that time period. Construction staging for the new mono-eucalyptus will be located adjacent to south of the mono-eucalyptus location. Construction personal vehicles will park within the Caliente Road right-of-way and will not block the roadway. Semi-trucks carrying the mono-eucalyptus and equipment will enter and exit from Caliente Road and will be required to remain within the proposed AT&T access easement. Spoils from the monoeucalyptus caisson will temporarily be placed adjacent to the south of the proposed site and trucked off-site and disposed of by the construction contractor. Dump trucks and concrete trucks will be required to utilize the proposed access easement. Caisson spoils will not remain onsite. Construction will require a crane to place the mono-eucalyptus. The temporary impacts from construction will be restored after construction is complete. Joshua trees located west of the project site will be avoided as outlined in the mitigation measures, and not impacted.
