Pacific Gas and _ <br /> �, <br /> Electric Company' <br /> wide trench being dug along a 36 Inch pipeline,the centerline of the trench would need to be at <br /> least 54 inches[24/2+24+3f3/2= 54] away, or be entirely dug by hand.) <br /> Water jetting to assist vacuum excavating must be limited to '1000 psig and directed ata 40" <br /> angle to the pipe. All pile driving must be kept a minimum of 3 feet away. <br /> Any plans to expose and support a PGB.E gas transmission pipeline across an open excavation <br /> need to be approved by PGSE Pipeline Services in writing PRIOR to performing the work. <br /> B. Boring/Trenchless Installations: PG&E Pipeline Services must review and approve all <br /> plans to bore across or paralfal to (within f 0 feet) a gas transmission pipeline.Thera are <br /> stringent criteria to pothole the gas transmission facility at regular intervals for all parallel bore <br /> - Installations. <br /> For bora paths that cross gas transmission pipelines perpendicularly, the pipeline must be <br /> potholed a minimum of 2 feet in the horizontal direction of the bore path and a minimum of 12 <br /> inches in the vertical direction from the bottom of the pipe with minimum clearances measured <br /> from the edge of the pipe in both tliractions. Standby personnel must watch the locator trace <br /> (and every ream pass)the path of the bora as it approaches iha pipeline and visually monitor <br /> the pothole (with the exposed transmission pipe) as the bore traverses the pipeline to ensure <br /> adequate clearance with the pipeline.The pothole width must account for the inaccuracy of the <br /> locating equipment. <br /> 7. Subskructures:All utility crossings of a gas pipeline should be made as close to <br /> perpendicular as feasible(g0' +/- �5`). All utility lines crossing the gas pipeline must have a <br /> minimum of 12 inches of separation from the gas pipeline. Parallel utilities, pole bases, water <br /> line'kicker blocks', storm drain inlets, water meters, valves, back pressure devices or other <br /> utility substructures are not allowed in the PG&E gas pipeline easement. <br /> If previously retired PG&E facilities are in conflict with proposed substructures, PGSE must <br /> verify they ora safe prior to removal. This includes verification testing of the contents of the <br /> facilities, as well as environmental testing of the orating and internal surfaces. Timelines for <br /> PGSE completion of this verification will vary depending on the type and location of facilities in <br /> conflict. <br /> 8. Structures: No structures are to be built within the PGSE gas pipeline easement. This <br /> includes buildings, retaining wails, fences, decks, patios, carports, septic tanks, storage shetls, <br /> tanks, loading ramps, or any structure that could limit PG&E's ability to access its facilities. <br /> 9. Fencing: Pannanent fencing Is not allowed within PGSE easements except for <br /> perpendicular crossings which must include a 16 foot wide gate for vehicular access. Gates will <br /> be secured with PG&E corporation locks. <br /> f 0. Landscaping: Landscaping must be designed to allow PG8.E to access the pipeline for <br /> maintenance and not intertera with pipeline coatings or other cathotlic protection systams..No_. <br /> trees, shrubs, brush, vines, and other vegetation may be plantetl within the easement area. <br /> Only those plants, ground covers, grasses,flowers, and low-growing plants that grow <br /> unsupported to a maximum of four feet(4') in height at maturity may be planted within the <br /> easement area. <br /> PGScE Gas and Electric Facilities - Page 3 <br />
