Maps and Drawings.

(1)

A grantee shall file a map or maps with the road commissioner showing the accurate location, depth, and size of the constructed facilities or appurtenances, both upon filing an application for a new pipeline franchise or an extension of an existing franchise, and within sixty days following the date on which any facilities or appurtenances have been constructed, laid, removed or abandoned under a franchise.

Be in both hard copy format and an electronic format acceptable to the road commissioner and be drawn to a scale of not less than six hundred feet to one inch;

(B)

Show in detail the exact location, size, description and date of installation, if known, of all existing or proposed pipelines, mains, transmission lines, laterals, and service pipes that are equal to or greater than three inches in diameter, and all valves, pressure regulators, drips, and transformer chambers installed beneath the surface of all county highways that belong to, are used by, or are under the control of the grantee or the grantee's successors or assigns;

(C)

Within thirty days after the date on which any facilities or appurtenances have been acquired, constructed, laid, removed or abandoned under a franchise, the grantee shall submit to the public works department as-built drawings of the acquired, constructed, laid, removed or abandoned franchise property.

(4)

In lieu of filing a map or maps with the road commissioner as required by subsection (a)(1) above, a grantee may satisfy the requirements of this Section 1004-2.410 by filing its maps with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration National Pipeline Mapping System. If a grantee's maps are so filed, the grantee shall allow public works department staff to inspect the maps at grantee's facilities.

(b)

Pipeline Inspections and Test Results. A grantee shall test all pipelines as required by the state fire marshal or other state or federal agency with jurisdiction over the pipeline or by any applicable law, and must make available for inspection by the public works department the results of all pipeline inspections and pipeline tests that are required by the state fire marshal and by all applicable laws within sixty days of the grantee's receipt of those results.

Pipeline Emergency Plan. At the time of application for a franchise, an applicant shall file, and thereafter annually during the life of the franchise keep on file, with the public works department a pipeline emergency plan as may be required by 49 C.F.R. section 195.402, 49 C.F.R. section 192.615, the California Pipeline Safety Act of 1981 (Government Code sections 51010 et seq.), and all other applicable laws.
