Discuss proposed Chevron Pipeline through Central San property ■ .F Central Contra Costa Sanitary District MM April 17, 2017 TO: REAL ESTATE, ENVIRONMENTAL AND PLANNING COMMITTEE VIA: ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER JEAN-MARC H. PETIT, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES The DANEA GEMMELL, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION MA ER C5 TOM GODS �`_, ENIOR ENGINEER FROM: RICK HERNANDEZ, SENIOR RIGHT OF WAY AGENT SUBJECT: PROPOSED CHEVRON PIPELINE THROUGH CENTRAL SAN PROPERTY Background Chevron Pipe Line Company (Chevron) has approached staff to discuss the possibility of routing a new 12-inch diameter petroleum pipeline through Central San property. Chevron has proposed four alignment alternatives as shown on the attached map provided by Chevron. Staff has informed Chevron that approval of the pipeline through Central San's land would have to be determined by central San's Board of Directors. The scope of project is a pipeline to transport product from an existing Chevron pipeline (shown in red on the Chevron map) located on central San-owned PG&E Strip to Kinder Morgan's Terminal on Imhoff Drive, across the Walnut Creek Channel from County Quarry. Proposed Alignments Central San staff, including Legal Counsel, have been reviewing the proposed pipeline alternatives to determine possible impacts to Central San's land and Plant operations. It appears from initial discussions with Chevron and feedback from in-house stakeholders that the preferred alignment is Route 1.1. This alignment is along an existing utility corridor through the Lagiss Property and the Basins Property that already contains four to six other petroleum or gas pipelines. In 2005, Kinder Morgan constructed a 20-inch diameter pipeline along the same proposed route. Real Estate, Environmental and Planning Committee April 17, 2017 Page 2of2 Financial Considerations Chevron would be required to compensate central San with fair market value for right of way needed to accommodate the proposed pipeline. Additionally, chevron would need to post a bond whereby staff would charge their actual time and expense per central San's Fee Schedule (Fee Category E-1). Possible Board Action The Board has authority to approve or reject the proposed pipeline project and can decline to grant the needed right of way. The Board may also direct staff to proceed with the project as proposed or with staff recommended changes. If the Board were to approve moving ahead with the proposed pipeline, staff would require chevron to submit detailed engineering plans and reports for review. Additionally, chevron would be required to enter into an agreement with central San for the construction of the pipeline and the purchase of right of way. The agreement would contain all the necessary conditions to protect Central San, including insurance requirements, performance security, indemnification, property appraisal reports, and CEQA documentation.

Chevron Proposed Pipeline Routesand Valve Sites Pipeline PL Route 1.1 and Valve Site 1.1 Yellow Route 1.1 consists of an approximately 1.24 miles of 12" diameter pipeline starting at Site 1.1 and ending at Kinder Morgan Concord terminal.The permanent easement width would be 10 feet wide. Temporary workspace will be required for installation. The main method of construction would be open cut. Valve Site 1.1, located north of BNSF's railroad, and would be expanded to accommodate the new Motor Dperatgd Valve (MDV) and pig trap. The(yellow) route requires a bore under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad track and Waterbird Way road to continue along pipeline corridor to the Walnut Creek Channel. It also requires an approximately 1,500 ft long Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) under Walnut Creek channel to Kinder Morgan facilities. This valve site would consist of a MDV on the mainline and new lateral pipeline, a control valve, and a pig launcher. A new electrical power connection is required at this site to support the new instrumentation. Pipeline Route 1.2 and Valve Site 1.2 Green Route 1.2 consists of an approximately 1.21 miles of 12" diameter pipeline starting at Valve Site 1.2 and ending at Kinder Morgan Concord terminal. The permanent easement width would be 10 feet wide. Temporary workspace will be required for installation. The main method of construction would be open cut. Valve Site 1.2 would be located in the Northeasterly corner of the Sanitary District's property just West of Waterbird Way. The(green) route requires a bore under the Burlington Northern Santa Fe(BNSF) railroad track to Valve Site 1.2,the pipeline would extend westerly to the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline route to follow the existing pipeline,go under Waterbird Way road, and continue along pipeline corridor to the Walnut Creek Channel. This route also requires an approximately 1,500 ft long Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) under Walnut Creek to Kinder Morgan facilities. This valve site would consist of a MDV on the mainline and new lateral pipeline, a control valve, and a pig launcher. A new electrical power connection and site access from Waterbird Way is required for this site to support new instrumentation. The new access road to the Valve Site 1.2 would be approximately 350 ft and 10 feet wide across. Pipeline Route 1.3 and Valve Site 1.3 Blue Route 1.3 consists of an approximately 1.19 miles of 12"diameter pipeline starting at Valve Site 1.3 and ending at Kinder Morgan Concord terminal. The permanent easement width would be 10 feet wide.Temporary workspace will be required for installation. The main method of construction would be open cut. Valve Site 1.3 would be located in Northern region of the Sanitary District's property, approximately 1,700 feet to the northeast of Waterbird Way. The (blue) route would extend westerly to the easterly side of Waterbird Way, run along the easterly side of Waterbird Way to the existing pipeline corridor and to continue along pipeline corridor to the Walnut Creek Channel. This route also requires an approximately 1,500 ft long HDD under Walnut Creek Channel to Kinder Morgan facilities. This site would consist of a MDV on the mainline and new lateral pipeline, a control valve, and a pig launcher. A new electric power connection and site access from Waterbird Way is required for this valve site.The new access route would be approximately 1,700 ft long and about 10 feet wide across(possibly along the BNSF Railroad right-of-way). Pipeline Route 2 and Valve Site 2(Orange) Route 2 consists of an approximately 1.07 miles of 12" diameter pipeline starting at Valve Site 2 and ending at Kinder Morgan Concord terminal.The permanent easement width would be 10 feet wide. Temporary workspace will be required for installation. The main method of construction would be open cut. Valve Site 2 would be located in Northeasterly region of the Sanitary District's property,approximately 2,500 feet northeast of Water Bird Way. The (orange) route would run southeasterly and bore under the Sanitary District's overflow duct,then along the existing dirt road to a point to along the Walnut Creek Channel. At this point the route requires an approximately 1,500 ft long HDD under Walnut Creek Channel to Kinder Morgan facilities. This valve site would consist of a MDV on the mainline and new lateral pipeline,a control valve, and a pig launcher. A new electric power connection and site access from Waterbird Way is required for this valve site. The new access road would be approximately 2,500 ft long and about 10 feet wide across(possibly along the BNSF Railroad right-of-way). Pipeline Route 2 and Valve.Site 1.3(Orange) Option- Route 2 consists of an approximately 1.25 mile of 12"diameter pipeline starting at Valve Site 1.3 and ending at Kinder Morgan Concord terminal.The permanent easement width would be 10 feet imide. Temporary workspace will be required for installation. The main method of construction would be open cut. Valve Site 1.3 would be located in Northeasterly region of the Sanitary District's property, approximately 1,700 feet northeast of Water Bird Way. The (orange) route would run easterly, approximately 800 feet northeast,then the route would turn southeasterly, bore under the Sanitary District's overflow duct, then along the existing dirt road to a point to along the Walnut Creek Channel. At this point the route requires an approximately 1,500 ft long HDD under Walnut Creek Channel to Kinder Morgan facilities. The new access road would be approximately 1,700 ft long and about 10 feet wide across(possibly along the BNSF Railroad right-of-way).
