    13 COMPANY,

    14 Defendant.
    /

    16 This order follows the April 2 hearing on the March 5 order to show cause. In addition

    17 to the conditions of probation already in effect, the Court imposes the following new conditions

    18 of probation in order to protect the public from further death and destruction resulting from

    19 PG&E-caused wildfires, to deter similar wrongs by other utilities, and to promote the

    20 rehabilitation of PG&E among other goals of 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a)(1) and (a)(2):

    21 1. PG&E must fully comply with all applicable laws concerning

    22 vegetation management and clearance requirements, including Sections 4292 and

    23 4293 of the California Public Resources Code, CPUC General Order 95, and

    24 FERC FAC-003-4. In this connection, the Court accepts CAL FIRE’s

    25 interpretation of Section 4293 as set forth in its February 6 submission (Dkt. No.

    26 1012).

    27 2. PG&E must fully comply with the specific targets and metrics set

    28 forth in its wildfire mitigation plan, including with respect to enhanced vegetation
    management. Compliance with these targets and metrics, however, will not

    1 excuse any failure to fully comply with the vegetation laws as required in
    2 paragraph 1. For purposes of this condition, the operative wildfire mitigation plan
    3 will be the plan ultimately approved by the CPUC.
    4 3. The Monitor shall assess PG&E’s wildfire mitigation and wildfire
    5 safety work, including through regular, unannounced inspections of PG&E’s
    6 vegetation management efforts and equipment inspection, enhancement, and
    7 repair efforts. The inspections will include both inspections of segments of power
    8 lines where PG&E has conducted its enhanced vegetation management efforts
    9 pursuant to its wildfire mitigation plan, as well as areas where enhanced
    10 vegetation management has yet to occur. The inspections will further include
    11 field interviews and questioning of PG&E employees and contractors.
    United States District Court
    For the Northern District of California

    12 4. PG&E shall maintain traceable, verifiable, accurate, and complete


    13 records of its vegetation management efforts. PG&E shall report to the Monitor
    14 on the first business day of every month on its vegetation management status and
    15 progress, and make available for inspection all related records at the Monitor’s
    16 request.
    17 5. PG&E shall ensure that sufficient resources, financial and
    18 personnel, including contractors and employees, are allocated to achieve the
    19 foregoing. If PG&E cannot find enough contractors, then PG&E must hire and
    20 train its own crews to trim and remove trees. To ensure that sufficient financial
    21 resources are available for this purpose, PG&E may not issue any dividends until
    22 it is in compliance with all applicable vegetation management requirements as set
    23 forth above.
    24
    25 IT IS SO ORDERED.

    Dated: April 3, 2019.
