Managed the preparation of Proponent’s Environmental Assessments for the installation of fiber-fed distributed antenna communications systems between Strawberry and Kyburtz, California along Highway 50 in El Dorado County, California. Managed the environmental planning of the proposed project. Consulted with local, state, and federal resource agencies. Conducted reconnaissance-level biological surveys of the proposed project areas. Participated in the CPUC CEQA environmental review process for the project.
Managed the environmental planning and permitting of fiber-optic cable and conduit relocation project under Sand Creek in Colusa County, California. Conducted permit feasibility assessments, consulted with state and federal resource agencies, and directed pre-construction biological surveys. Prepared CDFG Streambed Alteration Agreement, RWQCB Section 401, and USACE Nationwide # 13 permit application packages. Obtained permits from CDFG, RWQCB, and USACE for the project.
Managed the environmental planning, permitting, and monitoring of fiber-optic cable, conduit relocation, and road reconstruction project. The road crossing of the unnamed stream was washed out during a large thunderstorm during January 2006. As a result, the fiber-optic cable crossing under the stream was exposed, and was in extreme danger of being damaged during another rain event. Conducted emergency consultations with CDFG, RWQCB, USFWS, USACE, and NOAA Fisheries to obtain emergency permits for relocating the fiber-optic cable, and reconstruction approximately 200 feet of the damaged roadway. Prepared and obtained after-the-fact permit applications from CDFG, RWQCB, USACE, and NOAA Fisheries. Conducted Section 7 consultations under the federal ESA for steelhead. Managed environmental compliance monitoring and post-construction reporting for the project.
Managed the preparation of Proponent’s Environmental Assessments for the installation of fiber-fed distributed antenna communications systems in Irvine and Cupertino, California. Managed the environmental planning of the proposed projects. Consulted with local, state, and federal resource agencies. Conducted reconnaissance-level biological surveys of the proposed project areas. Participated in the CEQA environmental review process for both projects (CPUC was the lead agency for both projects).
Managed and prepared California Public Utilities Commission Notice of Construction permit packages for numerous lateral fiber-optic conduit and cable installation projects in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Cupertino, and San Jose, California. Conducted biological surveys and habitat assessments and guided cultural and archeological surveys of the sites. Consulted with the CPUC to ensure that the client received permit clearances within twenty-one days of submitting permitting package. Guided environmental compliance and construction monitoring of project installation.
