Subject:APPROVE Notice of Intention to Exchange Real Property with East Bay Municipal Utility District, Walnut Creek
BACKGROUND:
In 2003, Contra Costa County (County) conveyed a Grant of Easement (2003 Easement) to East Bay Municipal
Utility District (EBMUD) for one (1) permanent surface easement and one (1) permanent subsurface easement
for the installation, maintenance, and operation of one (1) sixty-nine inch (69”) wide water transmission pipeline
(Water Pipeline) and a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) for the operation of equipment during the initial
construction of EBMUD’s Walnut Creek/San Ramon Valley Improvement Project. 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.
