    ‘also be used when constretng the pipelines across wetlands; waterbodes; roads and rls; foreign pipelines; and agicullural, residential, commercial, and industal areas. Steep side slopes and rugged terain also may require special construction techniques. These special Construction techniques ae described in section 24.22, Construction of the aboveground ‘ities sssocated withthe pipelines discussed in section 2.423. 242.1 General Pipeline Construction Techniques: Figure 24-1 shows the typical step of cross-country pipeline construction. Standard pipeline onstruction proceeds in fhe manner of an outdoor assembly Tine composed of specific activities that make up the linear ccnsttion sequence. These operations collectively include survey and Staking ofthe rightof-way, clearing and grading, trenching, pipe stringing and bending, welding | and coating, lovering-n’ and backfilling, hydrostatic testing, right-of-way cleanup, and restoration, Pacific Connector has determined that to efficiently eoastrct the pipeline, construction would be divided into at least five separate constriction spreads. ach spread would consist of all Construction activities neessry to construct the pipeline inthe area designated for tha spread, Preliminary locations of consiuction spreads identified by Pacifie Comestor include the allowing: Spread | -MPs 0049.7 Spread 2—MPs 4.7.94.7 Spread 3 -MPs 047-1321 ‘Spread 4—MPs 1521-1880 ‘Spread 5 —MPs 1880-2309 Surveying and Staking Prior tothe start of consruction, the exterior Himits ofthe approved constuction right-of-way and boundaries of TEWAs would be civil surveyed and clearly staked. The survey stakes would ‘be mainiined throughost construction, and monitored by Pacifle Connector's environmental inspectors (Bl). Any pre-existing property line or survey monuments that oecur within the construction right-of war would be protected where possible, and if damage occurs during ‘onstrtion, these monninents would be replaced according to sate and federal standards. Civil | surveys on federal lands would adhere to guidelines established by the BLM, BOR, and USFS. that were provided fo Paifie Connector during the pe-Gling review period. Civil survey is fsnerally performed on foot or using allerrain vehicles (ATVs) or off-highway vehicles (OHVs) from existing acess points tothe pipeline right-of way. 70 0 DSR Pp aon souanbeg uonenacung sured RoYAKT, rycen 281 —————— “Access to the Construction RightoF-Way ‘Access roads that would be used for access during construction are discussed above in section 25.5 Eauipment involved in ppstine construction wuld ke moved onto the right-of-way sing eproved asec roads, and once on the eighto-way weuld then generally procecd down the er otway performing the job tasks, Pact Conecor has submited to the FERC das of ‘Tenaportaton Managemen Plans for bh federal and non-federal lands.

Here, none of the proposed uses are listed in the table set out in CCZLDO 410.1.400. Based on the applicant's description ofthe proposed uses, I conclude thatthe proposed terminal use Is most Ikea storage warehouse or trucking trial, which requires ‘ne parking space per employee and one bicycle space. Because the other proposed uses are not manned and require only priocic maintenance | conclude that no off-street parking must We ooskils bbe accommadated once b use is operational. However, a conuition of approval is warrantod to require a showing whers and how temporary parking for construction employees will be accommodated. With respect to off-strest parking, the applicant asserts that the Marine ‘Terminal per se wil not have any off-street parking needs.” August 24, 2007 submit p. 19. ‘The applicant stated that he LNG parking needs would be accommodated on the LNG site, and that the parking needs for the second berth vould be addressed when a specific tenants Identified, The epplicante site plan depicts a paved area and describes itas an activity ‘associated withthe tug beat operation. The paved area appears to be a small parking lot that ‘accommodates up to 16 vehicies, Its not clear from the applicant's evidence how many tug boat employees will be nzeded to serve the terminal. A condition of approval is warranted to require modifications tothe site plan to show that parking is accommodated on-site for ‘employees or that the apelcant has entered into an agreement with Jordan Cove to share parking facies. | conclude thet these standards can be satisfied through the imposition of conditions of approval 3. CCZLDO 4.5.180 Riparian Protection Standards in the CBEMP. The following standards ehall govern riparian corridors within the CREMP: 4. Riparian vegetation within 50 fest of a watland, stream, lake or river, as Identified on tho Coastal Shoreland and Fish and Wildlife habitat inventory maps, shall be maintained except that: b) Riparian vegetation may be removed to provide direct access for a water- dopendent use; or ‘ ©) Riparian vegetation may be removed in order fo site or properly maintain public utilities and road "ight-of-vays, provided that the vegetation to be ramovad Is tho minimum necessary to accomplish the purpose; or FINDING: The proposed marine terminal abuts Henderson Marsh and requires the reimoval of riparian vegetation to accarmmodate tha sip. In addition, the Weyerhaeuser site includes a wetland that must be protacted. Further, the Lyons site i located on the Isthmus Slough The applicants ste plans show that the 60-feot setback from Henderson Marsh wil be retained. ‘The applicant argues thatCCZLDO 4.6.180(1)(b) permits the removal ofthe coastal vegetation because tha ep wil proved drect access for a water-dependent use. With respect to the Weyerhaeuser site, the applicant asserts that the DMD site willbe located mare than 50 feet from the edge of the wetland boundary. The Lyons sita was not addressed, presumably because its not identiiec on the Coastal Shorelands and Fish and Widlife Habitat maps. | find that the proposal ca1 bs satisfied through the imposition of conditions that require the applicant to maintain a 50foot buffer from Henderson Marsh and the Weyerhaeuser wetlands. In addition, | agree with the applicant ah staf that the proposed port slp is a “water. dependent usa," which is defined in CCZLDO 2,1.200 a fa] use or activity which can be carried out only on, in, or adjacent to water areas because the use requires access to the water ‘body for water-bome transportation ** *."
