Scott Cooper <br /> County of San Joaquin <br /> Department of Public Works <br /> P.O. Box 1810-1810 E. Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton CA 95201 <br /> (209)468-3000 <br /> Paul Kaplan <br /> PG&E <br /> 4040 West Lane <br /> Stockton CA 95204 <br /> To the County of San Joaquin, April 16, 2012 <br /> PG&E is planning projects 30851911 and 30852363 with the respective permit applications already <br /> submitted to the County. It is our intention to cut bell holes approximately 5' x 5'for each service tie <br /> location annotated as"replace service" or"replace and transfer". These projects will increase the safety <br /> and reliability of our gas delivery system and allow more of our customers to be served by lower <br /> pressure distribution lines, rather than high pressure transmission lines. <br /> Through several meetings and discussions, it has been brought to our attention that the pavement <br /> throughout San Joaquin County has been replaced and there are concerns about these projects. PG&E <br /> has several transmission lines running under the pavement and requires access to the lines to complete <br /> the above mentioned projects. <br /> PG&E currently has applied for several permits for projects in that reside in the County.The locations of <br /> bell holes would be over the existing transmission lines and would be located as far outside the <br /> pavement as possible or as close the edge of pavement. It is PG&E's intention to stay as far out as <br /> possible and minimize disruptions to the pavement as much as possible. <br /> I am requesting approval of our encroachment permits so PG&E can proceed with this work. PG&E <br /> requires these permits to proceed with our projects and improve the reliability and safety of the pipe <br /> lines located in this area, without them we will not be able to complete these projects. PG&E will make <br /> every effort to ensure the reliability of the pavement and not intrude any further than required for <br /> safety. PG&E will repair any damaged pavement following your technical standards and using the same <br /> materials as currently in place. We will ensure rubberized asphalt is used in all of our repairs and will <br /> coordinate with appropriate sources to procure this material. <br />
