Document Description
PG&E proposes to enter upon the Caltrans Right of Way (ROW) to perform maintenance work on utility poles. The project would replace one existing 40-foot distribution utility pole with a new 45-foot distribution pole approximately 23 feet from the edge of traveled way (ETW). This project triggers the DSDD because the pole being replaced is within Caltrans ROW and within the Clear Recovery Zone of 52-feet from the ETW. Aerial wires will be temporarily suspended along State Hwy 33 (Route 33), with a speed limit of 55 MPH, at Post Mile (PM) 77.54. This project supports the community wildfire safety program. During the course of performing the work, the aerial wires spanning along Route 33 will be detached and reattached. The anticipated excavation depth is 60 inches, the width is 18 inches, and the length is 1.5 feet. Traffic control will be provided while performing the work. Caltrans would issue an encroachment permit to allow for the proposed work to occur within State right-of-way.
