Utility Distribution Easement (02/2020)

Pacific Gas and Electric Company

EXHIBIT “A”

GRANT OF EASEMENT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

This Disclosure Statement will assist you in evaluating the request for granting an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to accommodate a utility service extension to PG&E’s applicant. Please read this disclosure carefully before signing the Grant of Easement.

• You are under no obligation or threat of condemnation by PG&E to grant this easement.

• The granting of this easement is an accommodation to PG&E’s applicant requesting the extension of PG&E utility facilities to the applicant’s property or project. Because this easement is an accommodation for a service extension to a single customer or group of customers, PG&E is not authorized to purchase any such easement.

• By granting this easement to PG&E, the easement area may be used to serve additional customers in the area and may be used to install additional utility facilities. Installation of any proposed facilities outside of this easement area will require an additional easement.

• Removal and/or pruning of trees or other vegetation on your property may be necessary for the installation of PG&E facilities. You have the option of having PG&E’s contractors perform this work on your property, if available, or granting permission to PG&E’s applicant or the applicant’s contractor to perform this work.

Additionally, in order to comply with California fire laws and safety orders, PG&E or its contractors will periodically perform vegetation maintenance activities on your property as provided for in this grant of easement in order to maintain proper clearances from energized electric lines or other facilities.

• The description of the easement location where PG&E utility facilities are to be installed across your property must be satisfactory to you.

• The California Public Utilities Commission has authorized PG&E’s applicant to perform the installation of certain utility facilities for utility service. In addition to granting this easement to PG&E, your consent may be requested by the applicant, or applicant’s contractor, to work on your property. Upon completion of the applicant’s installation, the utility facilities will be inspected by PG&E. When the facility installation is determined to be acceptable the facilities will be conveyed to PG&E by its applicant.

By signing the Grant of Easement, you are acknowledging that you have read this disclosure and understand that you are voluntarily granting the easement to PG&E. Please return the signed and notarized Grant of Easement with this Disclosure Statement attached to PG&E. The duplicate copy of the Grant of Easement and this Disclosure Statement is for your records.
