RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the conveyance of a Grant of Easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), for utility purposes pursuant to Section 31 of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act. (Project No. EF1300629 [(WL083A) CP#13-33])


DETERMINE that the conveyance of said easement is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s (District) use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that this activity is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines. DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk; and DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of the $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing and a $25 fee to the DCD for processing of the Notice of Exemption.

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Grant of Easement on behalf of the District in consideration for payment received in full in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500).

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant of Easement to be delivered to the Grantee for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Applicant Fees.

BACKGROUND:

PG&E has requested a five-foot wide easement from the District for the installation of a deep well anode, rectifier, conduit and cable on District property. The installation is needed to protect an existing pipeline easement already encumbered by PG&E for their facilities. This will also allow PG&E to access their equipment and any reasonably necessary installation, maintenance, and/or replacement of said facilities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

PG&E would not have the necessary land rights to its facilities installed on a portion of District property.
