Document Description
The purpose of the project is to perform maintenance on the utility transmission line by replacing rapidly deteriorating power poles at three discrete locations. Pole replacement activities will consist of minor excavation adjacent to old power pole locations using an auger to replace the aging poles. Once new power pole holes are excavated, the old utility poles will be removed, and new poles will be installed. Each excavated utility pole hole will be backfilled and returned to pre-project contours. Only one pole (Pole 7/071) is located in a water of the state, and thus subject to State Water Resources Control Board Water Quality Order No. 2004-0004-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Dredged or Fill Discharges to Waters Deemed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be Outside of Federal Jurisdiction General Order. The other two poles are located in upland areas, east and west of Pole 7/071.
