Title

California Endangered Species Act Incidental Take Permit No. 2081-2020-056-04 for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company Dolan Road Substation Fence Replacement

Description

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has issued a California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.) Incidental Take Permit (ITP) to authorize Pacific Gas and Electric Company to incidentally take California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) which is listed as threatened species under CESA (Fish & G. Code § 2050 et seq.; see Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 670.5, subd. (b)(3)(G)). The Project includes emergency substation maintenance activities at Dolan Road Substation. The substation grounding is non-compliant and possess significant risk of electric shock to individuals who come in contact with conductive structures located within the substation boundaries including the substation fence. Project activities consist of the placement of a temporary security fence, grading and site preparation, installation of an erosion/no-dig barrier, replacement the old fence with a new non-conductive fence topped with barbwire, and scour pads. The Project is expected to result in the permanent loss of 0.06 acres of California tiger salamander habitat and temporary impacts to 0.019 acres of California tiger salamander habitat.
