Section 615.2 - Steel Casing Pipelines Crossing Above the State Water Project's Open Canals and PipelinesThe Department has determined that cathodic protection to buried steel casing pipe is NOT a preferred method of corrosion control. If cathodic protection is required, it shall be provided by sacrificial magnesium anodes. The Department may waive cathodic protection to casing pipe if:
(a) The space between the casing and the carrier pipe has a full grout seal, unless otherwise precluded by federal regulations.(b) Full concrete encasement of the buried casing pipe designed for applicable wheel load requirements on the primary and secondary roads.(c) Mortar-coated steel pipe without cathodic protection may be used only in benign soil environments. A soil corrosivity analysis shall be submitted by the applicant.(d) Non-metallic casing pipe with concrete encasement is used.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 23, § 615.2
