(50) feet in width for construction, installation and relocation operations and reduced to thirty (30) feet in <br />width for post-construction usage. Flowline easements shall be thirty (30) feet in width for all operations. <br />C. After Noble installs a Pipeline (which shall then be referred to as an "Existing Pipeline"), <br />Mining Parties shall have the right to make written requests to Noble to relocate any Existing Pipeline; <br />provided, however, all costs, risk and expense of such relocations shall be borne by Mining Parties and <br />Noble shall enter into a pipeline relocation agreement prior to the relocation of all or any portion of an <br />Existing Pipeline. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to implement pipeline relocations and shall <br />not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the other Party. Noble shall perform the pipeline <br />relocations. <br />Mining Parties covenant that it will not attempt to locate any future access road or pipeline easement for <br />Noble requested by Mining Parties within any jurisdictional wetland or critical habitat. <br />d. Mining Parties shall not disturb the existing cover over Existing Pipelines during Mining <br />Parties' operations on the Property, except that: i) when crossing Existing Pipelines with heavy <br />equipment, such as earth moving equipment, Mining Party shall maintain a minimum of four (4) feet and <br />a maximum of six (6) feet of dirt over Existing Pipelines, in addition to the then-existing cover over the <br />Existing Pipeline; and ii) when crossing Existing Pipelines with light trucks and equipment, Mining <br />Parties shall maintain a minimum of two (2) feet and a maximum of six (6) feet of dirt coverage over the <br />then existing cover over the Existing Pipeline. The depth of cover over Existing Pipelines shall not be <br />reduced or drainage patterns over Existing Pipelines altered without written approval from Noble. <br />e. Noble may install and maintain markers on the Petroleum Pipeline Easements, and Noble <br />shall mark its flowlines at locations as reasonably requested by Mining Parties. <br />f. Mining Parties will not conduct or cause to be conducted extraction operations of any <br />kind, including sand, gravel and Mining Parties' mining operations, that are within twenty-five (25) feet <br />from an Existing Pipeline unless an engineer licensed in the State of Colorado and with expert knowledge <br />in the area of soils, opines in a soils stability report, that the specific distance for the setback of the <br />extraction operations from the Existing Pipeline will be sufficient to preserve the integrity of the Existing <br />Pipeline. In such case, upon completion of extraction operations, Mining Parties shall backfill and level <br />the area that is within twenty-five (25) feet from the Existing Pipeline. Notwithstanding anything herein <br />to the contrary, Mining Parties shall in no event conduct extraction operations closer than fifteen (15) feet <br />from any Existing Pipeline without the prior written approval of Noble. <br />g. Mining Parties shall not stockpile any materials over any Existing Pipeline or in any <br />Petroleum Pipeline Easement. <br />h. Mining Parties shall not permit the construction of any temporary or permanent <br />buildings, structures or other improvements or facilities within or over the Petroleum Pipeline Easements <br />or the Pipelines. Mining Parties shall not plant trees or shrubs over the Petroleum Pipeline Easements and <br />Pipelines. <br />i.
