Therefore, contractor must meet with Company representatives prior to <br /> construction to provide and receive notification listings for appropriate area operations and emergency personnel. <br /> Company's on-site representative will require discontinuation of any work that, in his opinion, endangers the <br /> operations or safety of personnel, pipelines or facilities. <br /> • The Contractor must expose all Company transmission and distribution lines prior to crossing to determine the exact <br /> alignment and depth of the lines. A Company representative must be present. In the event of parallel lines, only one <br /> pipeline can be exposed at a time. <br /> • Company will not allow pipelines to remain exposed overnight without consent of Company designated representative. <br /> Contractor may be required to backfill pipelines at the end of each day. <br /> • A Company representative shall do all line locating. A Company representative shall be present for hydraulic excavation. <br /> The use of probing rods for pipeline locating shall be performed by Company representatives only, to prevent unnecessary <br /> damage to the pipeline coating. <br /> • Notification shall be given to Company at least 72 hours before start of construction. A schedule of activities for the <br /> duration of the project must be made available at that time to facilitate the scheduling of Company's work site <br /> representative. Any Contractor schedule changes shall be provided to Company immediately. <br /> • Heavy equipment will not be allowed to operate directly over Company pipelines or in Company ROW unless written <br /> approval is obtained from Company. Heavy equipment shall only be allowed to cross Company pipelines at locations <br /> designated by Company. Contractor shall comply with all precautionary measures required by Company to protect its <br /> pipelines. When inclement weather exists, provisions must be made to compensate for soil displacement due to <br /> subsidence of tires. <br /> • Excavating or grading which might result in erosion or which could render the Company ROW inaccessible shall not be <br /> permitted unless the contractor/developer/owner agrees to restore the area to its original condition and provide protection <br /> to Company's facility. <br /> • A Company representative shall be on-site to monitor any construction activities within 25-feet of a Company pipeline or <br /> aboveground appurtenance. The contractor shall not work within this distance without a Company representative being on <br /> site. Only hand excavation shall be permitted within a minimum of 18-inches (refer to state specific rules/regulations <br /> regarding any additional clearance requirements) of Company pipelines, valves and fittings. However, proceed with <br /> extreme caution when within three(3)feet of the pipe. <br /> • Ripping is only allowed when the position of the pipe is known and not within 10-feet of Company facility unless Company <br /> representative is present. <br /> • Temporary support of any exposed Company pipeline by Contractor may be necessary if required by Company's on-site <br /> representative. Backfill below the exposed lines and 12-inches above the lines shall be replaced with sand or other <br /> selected material as approved by Company's on-site representative and thoroughly compacted in 12-inches lifts to 95% of <br /> standard proctor dry density minimum or as approved by Company's on-site representative. This is to adequately protect <br /> against stresses that may be caused by the settling of the pipeline. <br /> Reference: O&M Procedure 204 Page 2 of 3 OM200-29 <br /> 2016-05-01 <br />
