1 K. Loetzerich/Vicich/Curry (Environmental Planners) 805-605-0392/605-0633/606-2044

The proponent for this action is responsible for implementing all applicable management requirements identified below. If the proponent is unable to accommodate these requirements, the proposed action will require additional environmental analysis and this CATEX will not apply.

2 R. Loetzerich/Smallwood/Nocerino (Cultural) 805-606-9687/606-2860/605-0748

This project will trigger Sec 106 and at minimum require consultation with the CA State Historic Preservation Officer and the Santa on the design/route of the proposed power lines, some archaeological survey and testing is likely to be required. Archaeological test American monitor. In order to avoid adverse effects to archaeological sites, the gov archaeologist will work with the power line eng archaeological sites, and/or, if sites cannot be avoided, place them in the least significant portion of an archaeological site, if feasible significant portion of an archaeological site additional mitigation and the development of a Memorandum of Agreement will be requ

3 Whitsitt-Odell (Natural) 805-606-4198

Endangered Species Act section 7 consultation required due to potential effects to federally listed threatened and endangered species. Project must adhere to Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) requirements, see attached comments.

4 Lum (Wetlands, Clean Water Act 401/404) 805-606-5299

Jurisdictional waters may be affected in creek/drainage areas. Section 404/401 CWA permit required depending on design across jurisdictional waters. Wetland delineation and analysis required by project proponent with mitigation and restoration of riparian and creek area including development of a 5-year mitigation plan. Spanning or avoidance of jurisdictional waters does not require a permit or mitigation. Early coordination with CEIEA is highly recommended. See additional comments.

5 Harding (Air) 805-606-6863

Adequate information to estimate emissions with ACAM was not provided. Based on NEPA planners estimation, there will be an EA needed for this project and the SL1 powerline. Emissions will be provided in the EA.

6 Wiskowski (Clean Water Act 402) 805-606-7541

See attached comments.

The maps provided are too small to clearly understand the scope. Design review is required.

The laydown area near the pin for pole SL2-024 remains subject to further review.

The proposed new gravel roads and culverts in drainages remain subject to further review - Site specific items 9, 13 & 34.

7 Kalata (Drinking Water/Wastewater) 805-605-0342

At the present time there are no DW or WW concerns noted, although this may change as the designs are submitted for review.

8 Richmond (Greenhouse gases/Ozone Depleting Substances) 805-606-2068

There are no SF6 pieces of equipment named in these changes and therefore there are no concerns for GHG/ODS.

9 Richmond/Kalata (Hazardous Materials/Tanks) 805-606-2068/605-0342

No Tanks or Hazardous Materials are mentioned in the documents, therefore there are no Tank/HazMat Concerns.

10 Hyder (Hazardous & Solid Waste) 805-606-2359

There will be concerns with the disposal of the old power poles. We’ll address that as the designs are submitted.

The proposed and alternate alignments and other affected areas cross over IRP and MMRP sites. Avoid existing IRP wells and remediation system components; damage to any assets must be repaired by the proponent or contractor. Coordinate with the IRP project managers to determine the optimum routing and identify any worker safety concerns. Coordination with Weapons Safety to determine the safe conduct of work within MMRP sites.

Measures for 813-25-043 Repair OH 70kV Transmission Line SL2

L Lum Comments 04 Nov 2025

Further coordinate with and implement these measures with Luanne Lum at (805) 606- 5299 or luanne.lum@spaceforce.mil:

1. Contact luanne.lum@spaceforce.mil at least two weeks prior to site activities for required briefing and inspection of weed seeds on equipment vehicles (dozers, mowers etc.); clean heavy equipment of weed seeds as follows:

• Equipment vehicles shall be thoroughly cleaned (power washed) of weed seeds, dirt, and caked mud prior to use in the project area to prevent the introduction of weeds.

• Prior to site transport, any skid plates shall be removed and cleaned. Equipment should be cleaned of weed seeds daily especially wheels, undercarriages, and bumpers.

• Prior to leaving the project area, for vehicles that have caked-on dirt or mud, vehicles shall be cleaned with hand tools such as bristle brushes and brooms at a designated exit area; vehicles may subsequently be washed at the AAFES car wash or approved wash area.

• For vehicles with dry dusted dirt on vehicles (and no caked-on dirt or mud), prior to leaving a site at a designated exit area, equipment vehicles shall be thoroughly brushed; vehicles may alternatively be air blasted on site.

2. Avoid as much native plant vegetation as possible. Requirements for projects with temporary vegetation and ground disturbance (e.g. access roads) include the following.

• Provide to CEIEA initial, pre-construction component plant list with percent of native plant cover prior to construction ground disturbing activities preferably with plan below.

• Provide a seeding and planting plan/strategy for approval. Coordinate plantings/seed mix that may be similar to surrounding native vegetation with CEIEA. Collect native seed available on site where vegetation is removed and in adjacent areas and properly store for future site dispersal. May compliment with outside source if needed but source should be from the California coast close to the project region. Thoroughly clean equipment vehicles as specified prior to work activities. Remove iceplant and properly dispose prior to work in the area. Any native vegetation designated for removal or disturbance shall be mulched and salvaged for use in restoration as mulch material where appropriate. The top 4 inches of soil where native vegetation is present shall be salvaged and used as topsoil in the project area. Any topsoil imported shall be weed-free and clean as specified. Soil must be properly prepared to provide seed germination. Amendments may be necessary.

• Control weeds for one year post-construction to achieve at least the same amount or more of pre- construction native plant cover. After one year, provide report with plant list and cover, then coordinate site inspection with CEIEA for approval. Approval is dependent upon amount of native plant cover achieved. Plants shall be watered as necessary without overwatering.

3. Prefer that willows be trimmed or cut without root removal whenever feasible. If willows are removed, restoration and willow mitigation is required. Willow cuttings from the site or adjacent/nearby area will be a minimum of 6-feet tall and range from 0.75-inches to 1.5-inches in diameter. Holes 3.5-inches in diameter and up to a depth of 5-feet will be dug. Where applicable, heavy equipment may be used to assist hole digging. Each hole will receive one willow cutting and either 1) backfilled using a water stinger to inject water into the ground next to the hole for sandy dune soil or 2) infilled with native slurry soil mixture, where applicable. After installation, the distal end of each willow pole will be cut at an angle approximately one foot above the ground. Provide applicable watering as necessary and monitor for at least one year.

4. Heavy equipment vehicles should minimize work in riparian, pools, and wet/ponded areas during the dry season; avoid work in these areas during the wet season. If any equipment vehicles enter the riparian, pool, and wet areas on a regular basis during construction activities, protective matting such as Dura-Base/swamp mats that are designed for wetland protection shall be used to cross or conduct activities in these areas.

Protective matting shall be removed as soon as practicable.

5. Maritime chaparral provides habitat for sensitive resources and regionally endemic plants. Chaparral shall be avoided or disturbance minimized whenever possible. Direct access from existing roads or non-native herbaceous habitat shall be prioritized. If temporary disturbance or access through chaparral habitat is necessary, if vegetation needs removal, vegetation shall be cut keeping root systems intact and Durabase type construction mats shall be used for equipment access. Construction mats shall be removed as soon as possible.

6. For temporary access routes with native vegetation, prefer vegetation be cut and shrub root systems remain intact.
