El Dorado County Broadband Fiber Project

El Dorado County Broadband Fiber Project

The Project 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 conduit either underground in buried conduits, overhead on existing or newly constructed utility pole lines, or in a combination of both. The majority of future broadband infrastructure is anticipated to be constructed within the typical roadway cross-section within the unincorporated areas of the County, incorporated cities of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, or California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) public rights-of-way (ROW). However, broadband infrastructure could also be constructed on private disturbed and federal lands and could connect to existing conduit or utility poles located within public or private utility easements. The exact alignment of future broadband infrastructure is currently unknown at this time and would be planned based on such considerations as construction feasibility, local preference, and locations of sensitive environmental resources.
