[Approved by Governor October 14, 1991. Filed with Secretary of State October 14, 1991.] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 846, Bergeson. Public utilities: recycled soil. Existing law requires cities and counties to reduce the amount of solid waste. This bill would permit any public utility, or its contractor, to which an excavation permit has been issued by any local agency for the installation, removal, maintenance, or repair of underground facilities to backfill the permitted excavation in any public road or highway with native spoil, if specified conditions are met. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The State of California is experiencing a critical shortage of 'fill space for the state's solid waste. •) Pursuant to Division 30 (commencing with Section 40000} of the iC Resources Code, cities and counties are required to devise -grams for their jurisdictions to reduce the amounts of solid waste yoing to landfills. (c) Current laws in many local jurisdictions require excavations to be backfilled with slurry, and for the native spoil from the excavation to be disposed. (d) Frequently, the only disposal sites available for excavation spoil are the state's landfills. (e) Disposal in landfills of spoil that is competent for use as backfill wastes a substantial amount of valuable landfill space. (f) Allowing alternative uses for this spoil will assist cities and counties in reaching the goals specified in the source reduction component of their integrated waste management plans. SEC. 2. Section 787 .aded to the Public Utilities Code, to read: RC'v1 BY!XEROX TELECOPIER 7010 ;12-18-91 2T52FM ! 619 720 9461^ :tt 3 * ' V- r* '' •' 787. (a) Any public utility, or its contractor, to whom an excavation permit has been issued by any local agency for the installation, removal, maintenance, or repair of underground facilities may backfill the permitted excavation in any public road or highway with native spoil if all of the following conditions are met: (1) The native spoil is competent spoil. (2) Compaction meets the local agency's requirements using industry standards for testing compaction. (3) The public utility or its contractor has no physical evidence of, or substantial reason to believe that there has been, contamination of the soil from hazardous wastes. (4) Within 30 days prior to compaction, a local agency has not provided the public utility or its contractor with physical evidence of, or substantial reason to believe that there has been, contamination of the soil from hazardous wastes. (b) If a local agency has determined through prior experience that the public utility that is applying for, or benefiting from, the excavation permit has previously neglected to adequately fill or compact prior excavations, whether directly or through its contractors, the local agency may, as a condition of the excavation permit do either or both of the following: (1) Require the public utility to post a bond, with a term not exceeding one year, amounting to two times the cost for the local agency to repair the backfill work, if done improperly, or any related collateral damage. {2} Require the public utility to submit a report from a registered soils engineer that the proper compaction of the excavation has been Sieved. (c) For purposes of this section: (1) "Competent spoil" means soils that can be treated to bring their moisture content into the optimum range, and that can achieve the compaction required by the local agency. •"" "Local agency" means any city or county agency. 'Public utility" means any electrical corporation, gas corpc.itlon, heat corporation, water corporation, telephone corporation, pipeline corporation, sewer corporation, telegraph corporation, where the service is performed for, or the commodity delivered to, the public or any portion thereof.

F. Sandland D. H. Sperry Re: Parking vehicles on sidewalks I received the attached letter from the City of Carlsbad reminding us that parking vehicles on the sidewalk is prohibited.The letter was sent to all utilities as well as the City's work force. We should only have a vehicle on the sidewalk when absolutely necessary, such as pulling cable in a manhole that can't be reached otherwise. Vehicles should not be parked on sidewalk to avoid parking curbside and setting up proper traffic control. If it is absolutely necessary to park on the sidewalk, you must first notify the City and be able to address the issue of pedestrian safety. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me on 586-3899. Sincerely, Danny Buchanan Liaison cc: JoeFederico '"'"*: fcitv of Carlsbad Engineering Department January 16, 1995 PACIFIC BELL 7337 Trade Street, RM 5410 San Diego, CA 92121 CITY SIDEWALKS This is a reminder that parking of equipment and or vehicles on City sidewalk is a violation of the Carlsbad Municipal Code as well as the Vehicle Code. You are required to obey the law while working within the City of Carlsbad under a right of way permit, this also applies to your contractors and subcontractors. Doing work under a yearly General Operating Permit (GOP) does not allow you or your contractor to violated the law either. Parking on the sidewalk is illegal even under the GOP. Continued disregard for this law may result in the cancellation of your permit or cited for a violation by the Police or even both. Please inform the appropriate people within your organization not to park on the sidewalks. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (619) 438-1161, extension 4423.

This general operating permit will remain valid until further notice or revocation. Day-to-day general operating permit responsibilities are outlined in the "General Utility Operating and Excavation Right-of-Way Conditions", and "Engineering Department Policy No. 29" for traffic control requirements within the public right-of-way. I submit a copy of each for your review and distribution within Pacific Bell. To clarify how the general operating permit requirements may specifically apply to Pacific Bell operations, I submit the following: 1. Routine maintenance and operational activities such as dewatering vaults, vault repair, overhead line repair or maintenance will require a site specific traffic control plan and a 24 hour advance notification to Engineering Inspection. This site specific traffic control plan, once approved, can be given a number, become part of Pacific Bell's Standard Trafic Control Manual, and be used whenever the same work is required for that specific site. 2. Localized testing and repair of in-place facilities not exceeding 100 square feet of excavation allows Pacific Bell to excavate small trenches within sidewalks or streets, replace existing facilities, pull cable and the like. Again, a site specific traffic control plan and 24 hour advance notification of work is required. This traffic control plan may also be added to Pacific Bell's Standard Traffic Control Manual and be reused. 2O75 Las Palmas Drive • Carlsbad, California 92OO9-4859 • (619) 438-1161 E. Gunter Page 2 During the course of replacement of sidewalk or base/paving, a city inspector will need to be notified and inspect the site prior to placing concrete or asphalt. Inspection will be required prior to work and prior to replacement of city facilities. 3. New construction of service laterals not exceeding 150 linear feet of lateral excavation. Typical items of construction include new installation of underground facilities, raising vault lids after overlays, relocation of existing lines, etc. For this type of operation, a sub-contractor or Pacific Bell construction forces would be utilized. A site specific traffic control plan will need prior approval and may be a standard plan from the manual providing the work is conducted on a residential or collector street, or on an arterial with the following restrictions: A. Construction is completed within one day. B. Construction closes no more than one lane of traffic and allows for the free flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic through the work zone. C. Construction does not take place within an intersection or within 200 feet of a traffic signal. D. Construction does not involve a detour or weekend work. Traffic control plans which are required for any of the above restrictions should be submitted to Engineering Inspection 48 hours prior to scheduling any construction for review and approval. 4. Emergency work conducted within the right-of-way shall proceed as needed, with notification of ongoing work communicated to Engineering Inspection at the earliest convenient time. Traffic control shall be per previously approved site specific plan or as required per latest edition of the Caltrans "Traffic Manual". It shall be Pacific Bell's responsibility to notify Engineering Inspection prior to any work (except emergency) by telephoning 438- 3891 prior to 2:00 PM for next day inspection services. An inspector will respond to the request and issue a site specific permit, which will be billed quarterly to Pacific Bell at $25 per work site. If an operation continues beyond one day or one site, only one permit fee will be charged. The city is presently exploring the possibility of charging a once- a-year blanket fee rather than continuing the $25 per permit fee for general operating permits. If and when a blanket fee is agreed upon and initiated, site specific permits will still be issued in E.Gunter Page 3 response to an inspection request, but the fee and quarterly billing will cease. Allow me to request that all Pacific Bell personnel operating within the General Operating Permit Guidelines be fully aware of the conditions and limitations of this permit process. Work within the right-of-way which exceeds the limits of this permit still requires a formal traffic control submittal and permit application to be submitted at 2075 Las Palmas Drive. A change on behalf of the city now allows the Engineering Right-of-Way Inspector to review utility company traffic control plans for a 48-72 hour turn around, barring complications. This change should allow for quicker processing of those traffic control plans which are required for a right-of-way permit. I truly appreciate all of the cooperation that you and your staff have given myself and city staff in developing your part in the City of Carlsbad General Operating Permit Program. We have met many times to discuss the finer points of this program, and because of those meetings I believe Pacific Bell and the City of Carlsbad have come a long way toward achieving an operating program which benefits both concerns. As the future need arises to further coordinate the mechanics of this program, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

If work is scheduled/ongoing, which goes beyond these limitations, the city inspector may need to halt all work until a formal right of way permit is acquired. c CITY OF CARLSBAD GENERAL UTILITY OPERATING AND EXCAVATION RIKHT OF MAY PERMIT CONDITIONS INTRODUCTION The City of Carlsbad recognizes the unique need of Utility companies to enter upon the public right-of-way to maintain, operate, repair and make routine connections to their facilities. In recognition of this unique status, the City finds it convenient to establish a General Operating Permit to allow the expeditious coordination of these activities while insuring the public health and safety and maintaining the integrity of public improvements. GENERAL CONDITIONS This Permit is valid only for the following types of activity and construction conducted by a Special District or Public Utility: m Routine maintenance and operational activities involving minor repairs to existing facilities m Localized testing and repair of facilities not involving more than 100 square feet of excavation H Service lateral construction not exceeding 150 feet of length within a public place Any work not meeting this criteria shall require a separate Right of Way Permit in conformance with Municipal Code. NOTICE TO PROCEED Except for emergency situations, no work authorized under this Permit shall commence until a proper inspection request has been made to the City's Right of Way (ROW) Inspector and verbal authorization is issued to proceed. A minimum of 24 hours prior to the scheduled beginning of any work, the District or Utility shall notify the ROW Inspector of work contemplated. Notification shall contain the location and description of the proposed work, when work is planned to begin, and the applicant's contact person and phone number. In case of emergency during normal working hours, the Utility shall notify the Inspector by phone as the work is in progress. Within 48 hours of any emergency work, the Utility shall notify the City in writing of such work. Said notice shall include the location and description of the work performed and a justification of the emergency nature of the work. c -2- PERFORMANCE All work within the public right-of-way shall be in conformance with the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code, Standard Drawings, the APWA Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book) and San Diego County Regional Standard Drawings. The permittee shall be responsible for the restoration and repair of failed trenches, damaged streets, curbs and gutters, driveways, traffic control loop detectors and other public facilities, all to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and warrant said work for its effective life. In the event the permittee fails to protect or restore public improvements, the City Engineer at his sole discretion may proceed to effect necessary repairs or install safety measures and recover costs. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Permit may result in revocation of the Permit. In conformance with Municipal Code, Section 11.16.100 (d), * The City Engineer shall require as a condition of permit reinstatement payment of all charges incurred by the City as a result of permit revocation Including a $500 penalty for violation." TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN All work performed shall be in conformance with CALTRANS Manual of Traffic Control Devices for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones. Individual Traffic Controls Plans (TCP) will be required as stipulated in the provisions of Engineering Department Policy No. 29. All required TCP's shall be submitted to the ROW Inspector, and work shall not proceed until the plan is approved. Approved TCP's shall be held at the work site at all times. A minimum of 48 hours will be required to review any individual TCP. PERMIT FEES City Council resolution provides for a fee of $2% for each Right of Way Permit. For purposes of the General Utility Operating and Excavation Right of Way Permit, it is agreed that the initial inspection request for each work location shall constitute an individual Right of Way Permit. The City shall quarterly summarize such notices and bill the Utility for all permits issued during the previous quarter. Failure to render payment within 45 days shall constitute a violation of this Permit, providing sufficient cause for revocation. CITY OP CARLSBAD ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT POLICY NUMBER:29 SUBJECT: TRAFFIC CONTROL, PLANS, APPLICATIO PROCEDURES, CASH DEPOSIT AND OPERAT EFFECTIVE: March 11, 1988 APPROVED BY: SUPERSEDES: N/A PURPOSE! To establish a clear, uniform and correct procedure for the design, application for approval of, and execution of temporary traffic control facilities.POLICY! Traffic control facilities for construction and maintenance work zones shall be constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with Chapter 5 of the CALTRANS "Traffic Manual", this policy, City of Carlsbad "Standard Design Criteria for the Design of Public Works Improvements in the City of Carlsbad", and to satisfaction of the City Engineer. The plans, exhibits, applications and securities shall be submitted in form, content and amount to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and as required herein prior, to the start of any construction or maintenance operations on, or effecting, any city street, thoroughfare, or alley. DEFINITIONS: Right-of-way Permit - All documents, plans, calculations, applications and securities that have been accepted, approved and executed by the City Engineer in accordance with Section No. 11.16.010 Et Seq. of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. A right-of-way permit is the instrument used by the city to control construction and maintenance activities within and affecting public rights-of-way. REQUIREMENTS: A traffic control plan shall be provided by any person who proposes construction within or otherwise affecting a public right-of-way and by any person who proposes to guide, warn or regulate traffic on public streets, or to enter onto or leave the public right-of-way to or from private lands at any location not having an approved driveway entrance onto a public street. A location of on/off street traffic that has an existing driveway will require a traffic control plan as a part of a right-of way permit when the nature or intensity of traffic using it is significantly increased, due to construction or maintenance activities. When traffic control is required, a right-of- way permit will be required even if no construction will occur with the right-of-way. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT POLICY NO. 29 PAGE 2 OF 4 In addition to drawings and documents detailing the construction proposed with the public right-of-way and otherwise required for a right-of-way permit, the applicant shall provide a traffic control plan to accompany each right-of-way permit application. No right-of-way permits will be issued without an approved traffic control plan. When any of the following conditions are proposed or exist, a project specific drawing must be provided that shows traffic control: A. The work will require complete closure of any street; B. The work will take place on circulation element streets; C. The work will take place within an intersection (defined as all that area of the public street bounded by a series of lines connecting the points of tangentry of each curb return); D. The work will take place within travel lanes and within 200 feet of an arterial street, or within 200 feet of any traffic signal; E. The work, equipment, spoil or construction materials preclude safe pedestrian traffic within the street right- of-way on the side(s) of the street that said work, equipment, spoil or construction materials may be located. Pedestrian traffic within parking, bicycle, and traffic lanes is defined as not safe; F. The work will take place within 500 feet of boundary of any school yard; G. The work, equipment, spoil, or construction materials will block any traffic or bicycle lane over night; H. The work involves a detour; or I. The City Engineer determines that some special circumstance exists. When none of the conditions listed above exist, the drawing used to support the application may consist of page(s) of figures copied from the latest edition and/or revision of the "Manual of Traffic Controls for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones" as published by CALTRANS. When a project specific drawing is required, the following criteria must be met: A. The drawing must be prepared in ink on 8V X 11" or 11" X 17" size paper, except that drawings for more extensive projects may be prepared on 24" X 36" paper. Three sets of drawings shall be submitted, folded to a maximum dimension of 8V X 11". B. The drawings need not be to any specific scale, but must be drawn so that the existing conditions, proposed work, and traffic control facilities are clearly designated. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT POLICY NO. 29 PAGE 3 OF 4 Detour routes and signage must be similarly drawn when used. A separate reversal, or switch over plan, shall be provided when the applicant proposes to move traffic lanes during the traffic control effort.

Because of complexity of design or high potential for risk to the public, the city Engineer may require some traffic control plans to be prepared under the responsible charge, signature, and seal of a registered professional engineer. All traffic control shall be designed and provided in accordance with City Ordinances and Standards, State Law, and specifically, in accordance with the most recent edition of "Manual of Traffic Controls for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones", as published by CALTRANS. CASH SECURITY: The applicant shall deposit cash security for the purpose of guaranteeing the continuous operation of the traffic control operation, as approved by the City Engineer, throughout the ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT POLICY NO. 29 PAGE 4 OF 4 time the work is within or affects the public way. The cash shall be deposited with the City prior to issuance of the right-of-way permit. The amount of the cash security shall be based on the cost to the City of making immediate repairs to City streets, and adequately warn and route traffic through or around construction and maintenance work that affects city Streets. Specific amounts for traffic control cash deposits shall equal $1,050.00 plus $3.50 per linear foot of working zone. The deposit amount shall be used only for providing, enhancing, or restoring traffic control facilities recommended in the guideline provided by "Manual of Traffic Controls for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones", as published by CALTRANS or as may be directed by the City Engineer. It is the intent of the City to require the applicant to provide and maintain temporary traffic control facilities required by this policy. The city proposes to initiate, maintain or restore temporary traffic control facilities only as an emergency procedure of short duration when the applicant fails to assure a safe and expedient flow of traffic. The applicant will be notified, in writing, as soon as practicable after the initiation of the procedure. The cost of the City involvement will be deducted from the applicant's cash deposit. The applicant shall promptly restore the balance of the cash deposit. Failure to do so within a ten (10) calendar day period will constitute reason for revocation of the right-of- way permit and the immediate removal of the applicant's equi- pment and materials from the public right-of-way and forfeiture of all deposits necessary to effect such removal and to restore the work area to City standards. Unless otherwise specifically noted on the right-of-way permit, the traffic control plan will be valid unless revoked by the City Engineer for a period equal to the duration of the right- of-way permit, until the work for which the right-of-way permit is issued is completed, or six months, whichever is less. When the applicant has completed all work permitted by the right-of-way permit, or when the traffic control plan has expired or been revoked and the work within the right-of-way has received a final inspection, has no outstanding corrections to be made, and the applicant has made written application for refund in accordance with Community Development Policy Number 1, the unused portion of the cash deposit to secure traffic control will be refunded.
