Hi Soratha,
The CEQA NOE was filed in May of 2024.When the CEQA NOE is
filed it starts a 30 day clock in which the state will review the project
andeitheraccepttheexemptionorrejecttheexemption.Whenan
exemption is accepted the exemption remains on file and the
andrequiredtofileanInitialStudytodeterminewhetheran
Environmental Impact Report is required, or whether a Negative
Declarationcanbefiled instead.
City of Benicia/Benicia PD did not receive a requirement to file, So
the exemption was deemed approved when the clock expired last
year.
Regarding NEPA-the State of California is the lead agency for
filing NEPA, so that filing would need to be completed by Caltrans,
or a California State agency operating on behalf of Caltrans. I’ve
onlyeverseen thisdonewhenCaltransneedspermissionfrom
FHWA to issue a permit. I don’t believe NEPA is warranted for
Benicia PD’s project because CA-780 is a state route, not an
interstate.I don’tbelieveCaltransneedsFHWA approval toissue a
permit for work in Caltrans controlled right of way, but that
determination probably needs to come from Caltrans.

Hi Erica,
Per the conclusion of the structural analysis you provided,
the proposed equipment does not meet the AASHTO
code requirement ( Upon reviewing the results of this
analysis, it is our opinion that the structure does not meet
the specified AASHTO code requirement. The equipment
mounts are not therefore deemed adequate to support the
existing and proposed loading as listed in this report.), Is
this written correctly? If so, the proposed system cannot
be placed on our pole and the application will be
cancelled. Please review the structural analysis and
provide us with the changes as necessary.
Thanks,

This application was missing the
signature for the TR-100
application. Hector reached out
and said it was missing a few
minutes ago. I submitted this
application on 4/29/24. I don’t
believeDerekorMelissa
submitted anything to Caltrans.
Let meknow if there is still
confusion on this submission.

Hello,
I’m following up on this
submission and was
wondering if there is anything
else needed from me to begin
the review process.
Thank you,
