The easement area is located within the Iron Horse Corridor and extends from the east side of South Broadway to the west side of South Broadway in the City of Walnut Creek. Several years after construction, EBMUD discovered that the Water Pipeline had been built outside the easement area in two locations. EBMUD notified the County of the error and requested the easement area be revised to cover the improvements in place. The County agreed, on the condition, EBMUD quit claim its rights as granted in the 2003 Easement in exchange for a revised Grant of Easement. EBMUD agreed. On July 18, 2002, the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development filed a Notice of Exemption for the conveyance of the easements for the Walnut Creek/San Ramon Valley Improvement Project. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: EBMUD will not have the rights necessary for their existing pipeline. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable. ATTACHMENTS Notice of Intent to Exchange
