One the things we found most troubling about the City

1
One the things we found most troubling about the
Citys Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)
was that there was no information included about
your pipeline, and ways to protect it from
construction damage and loading forces. We were
equally concerned that in the Final Environmental
Impact Report (FEIR) there were no comments from
Travis Air Force Base pointing out this
deficiency in the DEIR, and providing information
necessary to protect your pipeline and avoid
illegal encroachment on your right-of-way. In
fact in the FEIS the City provides email
correspondence with Travis Air Force Base
indicating that the base has no comments.

This can be easily remedied, and the publics
fears put to rest, if you direct your staff to
provide Suisun City staff with clear information
about your pipeline and a plan to ensure that it
is protected from possible significant impacts
from this proposed development along Petersen
Road. January 14, 2008

Our Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) for Oil
and Hazardous Substance Spill Response and
Prevention includes planning and response
procedures for responding to a pending or actual
pipeline malfunction.

Includes regular visual inspections along the
entire surface area of the pipeline route

Section 51014.6 of the California Government Code
Effective January 1, 1987, no person, other
than the pipeline operator, shall do any of the
following with respect to any pipeline easement
(1) Build, erect, or create a structure or
improvement within the pipeline easement or
permit the building, erection, or creation
thereof. (2) Build, erect, or create a structure,
fence, wall, or obstruction adjacent to any
pipeline easement which would prevent complete
and unimpaired surface access to the easement, or
permit the building, erection, or creation
thereof. (b) No shrubbery or shielding shall be
installed on the pipeline easement which would
impair aerial observation of the pipeline
easement.

You stated in your letter to us that a thorough
review of the draft and final EIRs for the
Walmart Project has been accomplished which
screened for potential conflicts with our mission
and more specifically to ensure our continued
ability to safely access, operate and maintain
our pipeline. While we hope that this is true
there still has been no evidence provided that
would allow citizens or Suisun City officials to
believe this. On the other hand there is plenty
of evidence that appears to show that Travis Air
Force Base has allowed its right-of-way to be
compromised, and access to its pipeline seriously
interfered with. January 28, 2008

we hope you will attend the upcoming hearings on
this project, and provide Suisun City, and its
affected citizens, with enough information to
ensure that this project can go forward in a way
that is safe for the public and your pipeline.
At a minimum this would include a clear map of
your pipeline and easement location, and clear
instructions for the City and developer to follow
in gaining your approval to cross your easement
and damage prevention information for working
near the pipeline. We have attached a sample of
such instructions from a similar sized liquid
pipeline we recently ran into while reviewing a
proposed development in a very rural area of
Montana.

Since this is a trust, When was the last board of
director's meeting? Has Pipeline Safety Trust
filed their 2006 - 2007 IRS Form 990s? Does your
staff or board have structural, civil,
subsurface, mining or other engineering degrees?
The name "Pipeline Safety Trust" makes you sound
like you have some knowledge or training on the
subject. It seems deceptive if you really do not
have any advanced education or experience. Should
I keep digging? Mike Hudson, City Councilman,
The City of Suisun City January 29, 2008
