Crazy Horse Canyon Switching Station

The project included construction of a new switching station and reconfiguration of two existing associated power lines. The project is located in Monterey County and northern San Benito County. Panorama reviewed the Proponent’s Environmental Assessment and prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. Panorama coordinated with USFWS and CDFW due to the presence of California red-legged frog in proximity to the project and suitable habitat in the project area. Mitigation measures were developed to be consistent with the Biological Opinion, Consistency Determination, and Incidental Take Permits. Panorama led the mitigation monitoring efforts, which included considerable coordination with CDFW regarding nesting birds, impacts to streams and wetlands, and California red-legged frog.
