Title:
Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated May
16, 2005, exempting from environmental review under State CEQA Classes 1 (Existing Facilities) and
3 (New Construction). The proposed project would involve the seismic upgrade of the existing Bay
Division Pipelines (BDPL) Nos. 3 and 4, owned and operated by the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission (SFPUC), located in the City of Fremont, California. BDPL No. 3 was originally
constructed in the 1950’s before the construction of Interstate 680, and consists of a 78-inch
reinforced concrete pipe. BDPL No. 4 built in the 1960’s, also before the construction of Interstate
680, consists of a 96-inch prestressed concrete cylinder pipe.
The work to be performed would consist of seismic upgrade of BDPL Nos. 3 and 4 at the Hayward
Fault crossing by constructing two new vaults, the installation of shutoff valves in each vault, and the
construction of a control building on top of each of the vaults to contain electrical and standby
generator back-up power and a condition assessment of the existing pipelines to determine potential
maintenance needs. BDPL Nos. 3 and 4 provides potable drinking water to the East and South Bay
areas. (Appellant: Lijia Chen on behalf of Cayuga Network consisting of 40 appellants.)
