Overview
Our mission is to protect our environment and demand better pipeline safety from PG&E.
​
PG&E's planned to remove 272 trees in Lafayette for their "Community Pipeline Safety Initiative", a discretionary ROW clearing program. We filed a lawsuit in 2017 because CEQA was not performed as required by law.
​
The largest risks to PG&E pipelines are third-party dig-ins, external forces from land movement, and external corrosion. PG&E has programs to address these concerns that do not include tree removal.
​
We've worked with the CPUC and PG&E for years to identify existing local threats and potential mitigations. We've concluded that PG&E should:
-
address the exposed pipeline segments
-
install remotely activated valves
-
reduce third-party dig-ins
-
conduct in-line testing
-
enhance cathodic protection
-
replace vintage pipeline segments.
-
and more.
