NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION

Oakgrove–Riverway 66 kV Line Relocation TD161005 Project SCE Advice Letter Number: 4288-E

Filing Date: September 3, 2020

Proposed Project Description: Southern California Edison Company (SCE) is proposing to relocate approximately 2,200 feet of the existing Oakgrove–Riverway 66 kilovolt (kV) subtransmission line to accommodate a City of Visalia road widening project located on Riggin Avenue, between west of North Crenshaw Street and Bolinger Street. Construction for the Proposed Project will take place within existing franchise and consists of the following major components (see attached map below for work area):

Subtransmission Line Work

• Replace seven wood poles ranging 60 to 75 feet in height with eight 70-foot tall wood poles • Remove one 40-foot tall guy wood pole • Relocate approximately 2,200 feet of existing 66 kV conductor to newly installed poles

Construction of the Proposed Project is anticipated to begin on or after November 2, 2020 and is expected to be completed by February 26, 2021. EMF Compliance: The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requires utilities to employ “no-cost” and “low-cost” measures to reduce public exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMF). In accordance with “EMF Design Guidelines” filed with the CPUC in compliance with CPUC Decisions 93-11-013 and 06-01-042, “this project is not required to implement any no-cost or low-cost EMF reduction measures because the work is considered limited in scope and does not provide significant opportunity to implement magnetic field reduction measures." However, due to the engineering requirement, the proposed structures will be taller in some locations than existing ones. The taller structures will provide some EMF reduction at no additional cost.

Exemption from CPUC Authority: Pursuant to CPUC General Order 131-D, Section III.B.1, projects meeting specific conditions are exempt from the CPUC’s requirement to file an application requesting authority to construct. This project qualifies for the following exemption:

“g. power line facilities or substations to be located in an existing franchise, road-widening setback easement, or public utility easement; or in a utility corridor designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies for which a final Negative Declaration or EIR finds no significant unavoidable environmental impacts.”

Public Review Process: Persons or groups may protest the proposed construction if they believe that the utility has incorrectly applied for an exemption or believe there is a reasonable possibility that the proposed project or cumulative effects or unusual circumstances associated with the project, may adversely impact the environment. Protests must be filed by September 23, 2020, and should include the following: 1. Your name, mailing address, and daytime telephone number. 2. Reference to the SCE Advice Letter Number and Project Name Identified. 3. A clear description of the reason for the protest. The letter should also indicate whether you believe that evidentiary hearings are necessary to resolve factual disputes. Protests for this project must be mailed within 20 calendar days after the filing to: California Public Utilities Commission Director, Energy Division 505 Van Ness Avenue, 4th Floor San Francisco, CA 94102

Southern California Edison Company Law Department - Exception Mail 2244 Walnut Grove Avenue Rosemead, CA 91770 Attention: K. Kwong
