San Joaquin County—Public Works Department <br /> Encroachment Permit Application <br /> Project Description <br /> The proposed pipeline constructions project area is located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin <br /> Delta. The proposed PG&E Line 57C pipeline would extend approximately 6.4 miles from the <br /> McDonald Island Gas Storage Facility in San Joaquin County to Palm Tract in Contra Costa <br /> County. It would cross primarily agricultural lands on four islands — McDonald Island, Lower <br /> Jones Tract, Bacon Island, and Palm Tract — and four major waterways — Old River, Middle <br /> River, Latham Slough and Empire Cut. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will be used to cross <br /> the rivers and adjacent levees, placing the pipeline approximately 75 feet or greater under the <br /> levees and the roads atop the levees. <br /> It has been determined that the proposed pipeline alignment crosses two San Joanquin County <br /> owned easements on the Lower Jones Tract. The easements are found along the tops of the <br /> levees adjacent to Empire Cut and Middle Rivers, and contain a dirt road within the easement's <br /> boundaries. <br /> While use of the roads is minimal, it is expected that neither road will be impacted by the <br /> proposed construction due to the use of HDD. <br /> w <br />
