Document Description
The Original PG&E R649, R700, and R707 Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline 131 Replacement Project included replacement of three segments totaling 5 miles of the L-131 pipeline for safety. The IS/MND for the Original Project was adopted in August 2018. Since adoption of the Original Project, PG&E has identified one additional segment of the L-131 pipeline that needs replacement (R-893) and one segment of the L-114 pipeline that needs inspection and repair (D-915). The Original Project together with these two additional pipeline components is the Amended Project. The R-893 component would replace approximately 825 feet of the L-131 pipeline between mile post (MP) 32.29 and MP 32.39. The D-915 component would include excavation, inspection, and repair of approximately 24 feet of the L-114 pipeline in two locations between MP 28.73 and 28.88.
The Amended Project will result in additional temporary impacts to 1.47 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) habitat. The Amended Project is expected to result in incidental take of California tiger salamander, which is designated as a threatened species under CESA. The ITP Major Amendment No. 1 referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of implementation of the Amended Project.
