Inspections. In urban environments like San Francisco, we look at every pole every year. We do an inspection of that pole. We visually identify safety and reliability issues. If there are attachments on the poles, we will make sure there is poleloading calculations. Then we have our pg e pole inspection routine program. Thats an inspection we do for everybody. And then every five years we do a detailed inspection of poles and all the associated equipment. For facilities located underground, we do that inspection every three years. We also make minor repairs. In addition, the requirements of a patrol, our detailed inspections, are also used to identify potential go 95 violations that mr. Palmer discussed, and well make those repairs as necessary. The xurenunder cpuc go 165, tha means it needs to be looked at every year. We do the boring down every ten years. Weve been doing this more and more because we have seen these attachments put on poles. We have seen we call them unauthorized att
Of course as you heard earlier, this was developed over years of workshops and reviews and collaboration between all of the utilities. So on this slide, im just kind of going over the attachments and what we do. At t is attached to approximately 26,000 poles in San Francisco. Now, of those, 2,000 are solely owned by at t. The majority we are coowners with pg e and you heard a little bit about that earlier. Our inspections as far as maintenance and inspections and protocols, our techs are required to inspect the infrastructure for safety issues every single time they touch our equipment. So if you are running around San Francisco, you see our trucks everywhere. So we are constantly doing these evaluations. They actually call it a tzone inspection that they need to do, where they look up the pole and then they look both directions as far as the ooi can see just to notice if there are any irregularities or anything that needs to be repaired and they are empowered to repair that on site or
Supervisor fewer okay. So our inspection and Maintenance Plan is kind of covered here. We also follow all the regulations that are used throughout the state of california. So we stay with we comply with all the state and federal regulations, and its our interest of course to keep our customers and workers safe and to keep our services reliable. This slide shows you all of the different rules that we work under. Theres this is just a partial list of the most important and most relevant to this discussion which youve heard a lot today is go 95, and thats 600 pages of state rules for overhead line design, construction, and maintenance.

Go 95 also lays out a timeline that you heard earlier for routi
Efficiency of that line depends on where its geographically located. Do you guys voluntarily underground or are you doing it when were requesting it . Is it. I couldnt rightly say because we do have more lines underground here in San Francisco than not, but we work with our regulator, the cpuc, to decide if lines go underground or not. You dont know the answer . No, i can get back to you. If you voluntarily do it, its usually when we request it on the city side. Youre not voluntarily undergrounding . We voluntarily underground our transmission lines. Do you want to take that one . Im the rule 28 program manager. The rule 28 is set up so that requests from cities and counties can come into pg e and other utilities to convert overhead lines to underground and the tariff permits the allocation of work credits. Cities and counties accrue these work credits very much like Airline Miles and redeem these credits for future undergrounding credits when they have a sufficient number of work cred
