RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), APPROVE the conveyance of a Grant of Easement to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute on behalf of the District, the Grant of Easement pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6 and FCD Act, Section 31.


FIND that the conveyance of such easement is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with the District’s use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the Project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Categorical Exemption Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines, and

DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of the $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption, and a $25 fee to DCD for processing the Notice of Exemption.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to have the above referenced Grant of Easement delivered to the CCCSD for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder. Project No. WL083A (9800629)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Land Development Permit Fees.

BACKGROUND:

In the late 1990’s CCCSD began installation of the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor (Central San Interceptor) and Recycled Water Facilities Project under a "Permit for Use of District Right of Way," Permits No. 603-95 and 629-98, in connection with such construction. Special Provision No. 35 included in Permit No. 629-98 requires the execution of the necessary easement documents for CCCSD to have permanent land rights to maintain the facilities post-construction before the permit is closed and the required cash bonds are released.

Recently the District and CCCSD have agreed to the easement language and have completed action items necessary for the easements to be granted.

The easements will allow CCCSD maintenance access onto District property where CCCSD has constructed the Central San Interceptor/Recycled Water facilities. The northernmost grants of easement begin along Grayson Creek from approximately 370 feet east of Scottsdale Road and cover select locations to approximately 270 feet north of Golf Club Road. The southernmost grant of easement is located at the confluence of the main Grayson Creek channel and the East Branch of Grayson Creek from approximately 110 feet south of Harriet Drive to Ardith Drive.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CCCSD will not have the necessary permanent rights for maintenance and access to the facilities installed.
