Reasons for Recommendations and Background: EBMUD desires to install a 69" diameter water pipeline in an approximately 2.2 mile stretch of the County-owned San Ramon Transportation Corridor. The Pipeline will be installed in three phases identified as the Southern Reach section in the Alamo area, the South Broadway section and the Civic Park to Newell Avenue "Tunnel" section in the City of Walnut Creek. The Board authorized the execution of the easements for the Southern Reach section that runs from Glanville Boulevard to Stone Valley Road on July 16, 2002. This action represents only the authorization for the execution of the Right of Entry agreement. The Board's authorization to execute a Common Use Agreement between the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (Flood Control) and EBMUD, easement agreements between County and EBMUD for the South Broadway and Tunnel sections of EBMUD's project, and a Purchase and Sale Agreement between County and EBMUD, will be the subject of future Board Orders. General Plan Conformance for the entire project has been received from the City of Walnut Creek. On July 16, 2002, the Board of Supervisors determined that the EBMUD/Walnut Creek/San Ramon Valley Improvement Project was not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061 (b) (3) of the CEQA Guidelines. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: The Right of Entry agreement will not be executed. PROJECT NAME: EBMUD San Ramon'Valley Improvement Project ADDRESS: San Ramon Transportation Corridor(SRTC) GRANTOR.

RECITALS A. County is the owner of that certain strip of land of varying width that runs from north Concord through the City of Walnut Creek to the City of San Ramon in Contra Costa County. This strip of land is commonly known as the San Ramon Transportation Corridor ("SRTC"). B. EBMUD desires to acquire a permanent subsurface easement (the "Tunnel Easement"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein, below portions of the SRTC to bore a thirty foot by thirty foot (30" x 30') square tunnel for the purpose of installing, maintaining and operating a sixty-nine inch (69") wide water pipeline ("Water Pipeline"). C. EBMUD also desires to acquire a surface easement and a subsurface easement (the "South Broadway Easements"), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein, over, across and below portions of the SRTC to access and maintain the Water Pipeline. The Tunnel. Easement and the South Broadway Easements are collectively referred to as the "Permanent Easements." D. EBMUD also desires to acquire a temporary construction easement ("TCE") also included in the form attached hereto as Exhibit"B," over a portion of the SRTC for the operation of equipment during the initial construction of the Water Pipeline. E.

Flood Control has constructed a permanent concrete flood control channel (the "Channel") within the real property condemned to Flood Control. The Judgment in Condemnation ("Judgment") entered in Superior Court Case No. 262946 provides that in the event County grants any subsequent easements or licenses within the real property condemned to Flood Control, as described in Exhibit "A" to the Judgment, County shall require each subsequent grantee to enter into a common use agreement with Flood Control, which agreement shall contain, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13. of the Judgment. Since portions of the Permanent Easements will overlay or overlap the area condemned to Flood Control, County requires that EBMUD enter into a common use agreement with Flood Control, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein, as a condition precedent to the exercise by EBMUD of any right granted hereunder.
