Pacific Gas and <br /> S E/ecr�ic Company <br /> Attachment 1 —Gas Facilities <br /> There coultl ba gas transmission pipelines in this area which would be considered critical <br /> facilities for PGBE and a high priority subsurtaca installation under California law. Care must be <br /> taken to ensure safety antl acc¢ssibility. So, please ensure that if PGBE approves work near <br /> gas transmission pipelines it is done in atlherence with the below stipulations. Additionally, the <br /> following link provides additional information regard in9 1¢gal requirements under California <br /> excavation laws: httos�//www usanorth8'I1 ora/'manes/odfs/CA-LAW-20'18.odf <br /> 7. Standby Inspection:A PGBE Gas Transmission Standby Inspector must be present <br /> during any demolition or construction activity that comes within 1 O feet of the gas pipeline.This <br /> includes all grading, trenching, substructure depth verifications (potholes), asphalt or concrete <br /> demolition/removal, removal of trees, signs, light poles, etc. This inspection can b¢coordinated <br /> through th¢ Underground Service Alert(VSA) sarvic¢at 87�. A minimum notice of 48 hours is <br /> r¢quired. Ensure the USA markings and notifications are maintained throughout the duration of <br /> your work. <br /> 2. Access: At any time, PGBE may neatl to access, excavate, and perform work on the gas <br /> pipalin¢. Any construction equipment, materials, or spoils may need to ba ramov¢d upon notice. <br /> Any temporary construction fencing installetl within PGBE's easement would also neatl to b¢ <br /> capable of being removed at any time upon notice. Any plans to cut temporary slopes <br /> ¢xceeding a 1:4 grade within 1 O feet of a gas transmission pipalin¢ need to be approvetl by <br /> PGBE Pipalin¢ Services in writing PRIOR to performing the work. <br /> 3. Wheel Loads: To prevent damage to the buri¢d gas pipeline, there are weight limits that <br /> must be anfo rc¢tl whenever any equipment gets within 10 feet of trav¢rsing the pipe. <br /> Ensure a list of the axle weights of all equipment being used is available for PGBE's Stantlby <br /> Inspector. To conFrm the depth of cover, the pipeline may ne¢d to be potholed by hand in a few <br /> areas. <br /> Ou¢to the complex variability of tracked equipment, vibratory compaction equipm¢nt, and <br /> cranes, PGBE must evaluate those items on a case-by-case basis prior to use over the gas <br /> pipeline (provide a list of any proposed equipment of this type noting modal numbers and <br /> specific attachments). <br /> No equipment may ba set up over the gas pipalin¢while operating. Ensure crane outriggers are <br /> at least 10 feet from the centerline of the gas pipeline. Transport trucks must not b¢ parked over <br /> the gas pipeline while being loaded or unloaded. <br /> 4. Grading: PGBE raquir¢s a minimum of 36 inches of cover over gas pipelines (or existing <br /> grade if less) and a maximum of 7 feat of cover at all locations. The graded surfac¢cannot <br /> exceed a cross slope of t:4. <br /> 5. Excavating: Any digging within 2 feat of a gas pip¢line must be dug by hand. Note that <br /> while the minimum clearance is only �2 inches, any¢xcavation work within 24 inches of the <br /> edge of a pipeline must b¢done with hand tools. So to avoitl having to dig a trench entirely with <br /> hand tools, the etlge of the trench must be over 24 inches away.
