Buyer and Seller are advised that some areas of San

Diego County, including but not limited to areas inSantee, Tierrasanta, Rancho Peñasquitos and RanchoBernardo, may have had builders which used RampartGeneral fireplaces in some homes.

These fireplaces have beenknown to crack, and repairs are limited and difficult.Many San Diego County fireplace inspectors, chimneysweeps and contractors will not attempt to repair theRampart General fireplaces. Repairs may be costly, ifthey are available. Replacement may be necessary.

The San Diego County General Plan Update is amulti-year project which began in August 1998 toupdate the San Diego County General Plan. The cur-rent general plan for the unincorporated county hasnot been comprehensively updated since 1979 and hasbeen the subject of substantial modification over theyears. During this period, considerable growth andchange has taken place, leading to the incorporationof a number of cities and to annexation of lands on theperiphery of the unincorporated area. Today, the un-incorporated area of the County is comprised of 84%of the total land area of the County and is estimated tosupport 16% of the entire county’s population of ap-proximately 2.8 million inhabitants. According to theSan Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG),the population of the entire County is estimated togrow to approximately 3.6 million by the year 2020and the existing population of the unincorporatedarea (442,919) is projected to grow to approximately627,142. General Plan 2020 will form a frameworkinto which the unincorporated communities willgrow, shaping the future of San Diego County. Theend product will be a plan that seeks to protect theenvironment, accommodates population growth, andlinks that growth to the provision of required facilitiesand services.

SDG&E has obtained permits to build an electrictransmission line from the Imperial Valley to San Di-ego called the Sunrise Powerlink, a new "energy superhighway" to connect to the state's energy grid. Thisproject has been the subject of much public controver-sy for several years, as it proceeds through regulatoryreview.

14. Gas PipelinesBuyer and Seller are advised of the existence of un-derground “transmission” pipelines used to transportnatural gas, crude petroleum, and refined petroleumliquids such as gasoline, jet fuel, and ethanol in SanDiego County. In addition, smaller “distribution”pipelines that operate at lower pressures also exist inSan Diego County and every home that uses naturalgas is connected to an underground gas distributionpipeline. Pipeline proximity has become a concernto some homeowners following a number of pipelinedisasters in the U.S. While buried pipelines can pre-sent a risk of explosion, fire, and other health hazards,proximity to a pipeline does not of itself indicate asafety risk. Information on the location of transmis-sion pipelines can be obtained from Natural HazardDisclosure (NHD) providers. However, at this time,not all NHD providers report this information. Infor-mation on the location of hazardous liquid and naturalgas transmission pipelines can also be obtained fromthe National Pipeline Mapping System athttp://www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov/default.htm.San Diego Gas & Electric provides gas pipelineinformation which can be accessed athttp://www.sdge.com/safety/gas-safety/putting-safety-first.
