Document Description
The proposed project requires PG&E to clear and manage vegetation along a portion of the Moss Landing-Del Monte #1 and #2 and the Salinas-Fort Ord #1 and #2 electrical transmission lines in CSUMB's East Campus Open Space. PG&E plans to remove brush vegetation as well as 13 trees (coast live oak) with a DBH of greater than four inches. The project locations have been identified and mapped using coordinates provided by PG&E's contracted vegetation management supervisor. This project will require ground disturbance in the form of foot traffic and vehicles needed to mobilize equipment.
