§ 2102. Identifying Pipelines Subject to This Article.
Currentness
(a) It is the responsibility of an operator to identify pipelines that are subject to or may be exempt from the requirements of this Article. At a minimum, the operator must consider the following information in identifying or seeking to exempt a pipeline from the provisions of this Article:
(1) The coastal zone boundary;
(2) The location of known environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas.
(3) If an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area connected to or located in the coastal zone extends beyond the coastal zone, that portion of the environmentally and ecologically sensitive area that extends beyond the coastal zone is presumed to be subject to the requirements of this Article.
(4) If a pipeline intersects an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area in the coastal zone or intersects an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area with a connection to the coastal zone, it is presumptively subject to the requirements of this Article.
(5) If a pipeline is near an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area in the coastal zone or near an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area with a connection to the coastal zone, it is presumptively subject to the requirements of this Article.
(A) Near is measured from the outer extent of an environmentally and ecologically sensitive area or the coastal zone.
1. For environmentally and ecologically sensitive area data represented by points for protective purposes, a ½ mile buffer is applied to the environmentally and ecologically sensitive area point data.
2. For environmentally and ecologically sensitive area data represented by polygons and/or line data, the ½ mile buffer is applied to the outer extent of the environmentally and ecologically sensitive area data.
(b) To determine if the requirements of this Article are applicable to a particular pipeline, operators may rely on the Coastal Zone and Environmentally and Ecologically Sensitive Areas datasets and statewide ½ mile buffer data layer (as depicted in the CAL FIRE - OFFICE OF THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL, Download Ecologically And Environmentally Sensitive Sites In The Coastal Zone (January 1, 2020)) on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's website.
(c) The State Fire Marshal may identify pipelines subject to the requirements of this Article based on, but not limited to, any of the information, data, factors, and considerations stated in this Article or contained in applicable law.
