Document Description
Central San is initiating a project to design and install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at its facilities as part of its Fleet Electrification Strategic Plan. Easements are required to allow PG&E to install and maintain EV service connections and related infrastructure. These easements ensure utility access while minimizing impacts on Central San property and complying with service requirements. Initial properties for EV charging stations are the Moraga and San Ramon Pump Stations, the Collection System Operations (CSO) facility, and the wastewater treatment plant. District Counsel has reviewed and approved to form the Grant of Easement drafted by PG&E. The proposed resolution would delegate authority to the General Manager, or his designee, to execute these and future Grant of Easements related to EV charging stations on Central San property that will solely be used by Central San vehicles. This will streamline Central San's efforts to comply with new regulations, including both the Governor's Executive Order N-79-20 and the California Air Resource Board's Advanced Fleets Regulation, and to support Central San's net zero initiative. District Counsel has reviewed and does not object to this delegation of authority on this matter.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15301
Reasons for Exemption
It is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because it involves minor alteration of existing facilities, including the installation of EV chargers, where there is a negligible or no expansion of existing use. This project is also exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. This certainty is based on the relatively short distances involved and the District's impact-limiting construction specifications.
