Pacific Gas and & E/ec7iic Company" Attachment 7 — Gaa Facll sties There could ba gas transmission pipelines in this area which would b¢ considered critical facilities for PG8.E and a high priority subsurtaca installation under California law. Care must be taken to ensure safety and accessibility. So, please ensure that if PG8.E approves work near gas transmission pipelines it is done in adherence with the below stipulations. Additionally, th¢ following link provides additional information regarding legal requirements under California excavation laws: httos://www.usanorth87 t.ora/images/odfs/CA-LAW-2078.odf 7. Standby Inspection: A PG&E Gas Transmission Standby Inspector must ba present during any demolition or construction activity that comes within 1 O feet of the gas pipeline. This includes all grading, trenching, substructure depth verifications (potholes), asphalt or concret¢ demolition/removal, removal of trees, signs, light poles, etc. This inspection can be coordinated through the Underground Service Alert (USA) service at 811. A minimum notice of 48 hours is required. Ensure the VSA markings and notifications are maintained throughout the duration of your work. 2. Access: At any time, PGS,E may need to access, excavate, and pertorm work on the gas pipeline. Any construction ¢quipmant, materials, or spoils may Head to be removed upon notice. Any temporary construction fencing installed within PGB.E's easement would also need to ba capable of being removed at any lima upon notice. Any plans to cut temporary slopes exceeding a 1:4 grade within 1 O feet of a gas transmission pipeline need to be approved by PGRE Pipeline Services in writing PRIOR to pertorming the work. 3. Wheel Loads: To prevent damage to the buried gas pipeline, there are weight limits that must be enforced whenever any equipment gats within 10 feet of traversing the pipe. Ensure a list of the axle weights of all equipment being used is available for PG&E's Standby Inspector. Te confirm the depth of cover, the pipeline may need to be potholed by hand in a few areas. Due to the complex variability of tracked equipment, vibratory compaction equipment, and cranes, PGB,E must evaluate those items on a case-by-case basis prior to us¢ over the gas pipeline (provide a list of any proposed equipment of this type noting model numbers and specific attachments). No equipment may be set up over the gas pipeline while operating. Ensure crane outriggers ora at least 70 feat from the centerline of the gas pipeline. Transport trucks must not be parked over the gas pipeline while being loaded or unloaded. 4. Grading: PGS,E requires a minimum of 36 Inches of cover over gas pipelines (or existing grad¢ if lass) and a maximum of 7 feet of cover at all locations. The graded surtace cannot exceed a cross slope of 1:4. 5. Excavating: Any digging within 2 feat of a gas pipeline must ba dug by hand. Note that while the minimum clearance is only 72 inches, any excavation work within 24 inches of the edge of a pipeline must ba done with hand tools. So to avoid having to dig a trench entirely with hand tools, the edge of the trench must be over 24 inches away. (Doing the math fora 24 inch PGScE Gas and Electric Facilities Page 2
