AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Pacific Gas and Electric Company to replace 145 feet of six-inch diameter gas pipeline adjacent to Napa Creek under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-NAP-56225-R3, issued pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602. The work involves excavating two 6x6x8-foot bell holes and a 135-foot trench along the existing pipeline alignment, removing the old pipe, and installing a new pipeline with a top-of-pipe depth of approximately four feet below grade. All disturbed areas will be backfilled with native material and restored to pre-construction contours, with no permanent impacts to the stream or riparian zone; temporary impacts are limited to 0.138 acre and 135 linear feet. Construction will occur using existing access paths from private property, with temporary staging areas confined to upland and agricultural zones outside the creek’s channel or riparian buffer. Vegetation clearance includes pruning four riparian trees—two coast live oaks, one California walnut, and one Deodara cedar—and removing two additional willow trees and four coast live oaks, all within specified diameter ranges. Approximately 6,000 square feet of invasive understory vegetation, including Himalayan blackberry and English ivy, will also be cleared to enable access and construction. The project is administratively exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under Class 2 categorical exemption for replacement of existing facilities. Oversight is provided by Nicholas Magnuson of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, while Craig Geldard of PG&E serves as the project representative. No financial data, contract type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included in the documentation, as the instrument functions as a regulatory authorization rather than a traditional procurement contract. Work must comply with all habitat restoration requirements, and no permanent alterations to the creek or its adjacent ecosystem are permitted.

Full Description

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-NAP-56225-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The Project is limited to the replacement of approximately 145 feet of six-inch diameter gas pipe from an existing gas transmission pipeline alignment that runs adjacent to and along the top of bank of Napa Creek. Construction methods involve excavating two bell holes measuring approximately six-foot long by by six-foot wide by eight-foot deep at each end of the replacement section of pipe. An excavator will then excavate a trench approximately 135 feet long by two feet wide by eight feet deep following the current pipeline alignment and cut the pipeline at each end, remove the existing pipe segment, and replace it with a six-inch diameter pipe. The depth of top-of-pipe from top-of-grade will be approximately 4 feet. Excavated material will be temporarily side-cast in upland areas. Following the completion of pipeline installation, the excavated areas will be backfilled with native material and the areas will be returned to pre-construction contours and habitat will be restored. Multiple temporary staging and laydown areas (less than one acre in total) in upland/agricultural areas will be utilized outside of the Napa Creek channel, bank, or riparian zone, pending land agreements. Access roads consist of existing walking path from adjacent private property. Site preparation will include vegetation clearing and pruning of four riparian trees for access: two coast live oak trees (Quercus agrifolia) with diameters at breast height (DBH) of 11 to 15 inches, one California walnut (Juglans californica) with DBH of 10 inches, and one Deodara cedar (Cedrus deodara) with DBH of 14 inches. In addition to the pruned trees above, two willow trees (Salix sp.) with DBH of 11 to 15 inches, and two coast live oaks with DBH of 14 top 20 inches will be removed. In addition to tree trimming and removal, approximately 6,000 square feet of understory brush including invasive Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and English ivy (Hedera helix) will to be cleared for access. The Project will result in 0.138 acre (6,000 square feet) and 135 linear feet of temporary impacts to stream and riparian habitat. No permanent impacts will occur.
