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 60-foot transmission utility pole with a new 70-foot transmission utility pole approximately 15 feet from the edge of traveled way (ETW). This project triggers the DSDD because the fixed object 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 Fresno Coalinga Rd (Route 145) at Post Mile (PM) 1.39. This project supports the community wildfire safety program. During the course of performing the work, the aerial wires spanning along Route 145 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.
