ROW Stip - ReqWe submit the following requirements to prevent conflict with our easement rights:
The filing and recording of any subdivision plat should stipulate and describe Olympic’s easements, and the deeds and titles to all subdivision lots shall designate Olympic’s easement
as encumbering said lots.
Olympic’s easements restrict the placement or construction of any permanent structures, underbrush, trees, or other structures, which would interfere with the operation and maintenance
of the pipeline(s). This includes concrete thrust blocks, fire hydrants or catch basins. Prior approval is required for fences crossing Olympic’s rights of way. Fences may not parallel
the pipeline(s) within the easement. Fence post must maintain a minimum 3’ clearance off the pipeline(s) when crossing the easement. Roadways may cross, but not parallel over the easement.
API-1102 calculations for loadings due to road or railroad crossings must be submitted as part of the developer’s construction plans. See item 8.
Any required relocation or encasement of Olympic’s pipeline(s) will be at the developer’s expense.
Development grading should not remove any of the existing ground cover from or add excessive fill over the pipeline(s). Olympic’s prior approval to add fill is required.
Developers will be required to coordinate design of any utilities crossing Olympic’s easement to meet Olympic’s clearance requirements. Upon developer’s request, Olympic will coordinate
a meeting by our field representative with developer’s engineers to determine the depth and location of the existing pipeline(s) at any proposed utility and street crossing.
The ground cover and clearances for utility line crossing of the pipeline(s) are as follows:
Minimum ground cover outside roadways: Three feet (3’)
Minimum cover at street gutter flow line or barrow ditch: Three feet (3’)
Water, sewer, and gas service line crossings: 12 inches (12”) vertical separation clearance
Underground telephone conduit: twelve inches (12”) minimum clearance.
Underground electrical conduit: twelve inches (12”) minimum clearance, with conduit encased with red-colored concrete five feet (5’) each side of pipeline(s).
A cathodically protected utility, which crosses or is placed adjacent to Olympic must install a test point and perform interference testing between the utility and Olympic. You may
contact our Corrosion Technician by calling our Renton office at (425) 226-8883.
Olympic requires detailed construction plans for any work within the easement. Olympic requests at least 10 working days for review and comments/approval of plans. Plans should be submitted
to: Olympic Pipe Line Company, Field Project Office, 2319 Lind Ave. SW, Renton, WA 98055.
An Olympic representative/inspector must be on site when any work is being performed within 10’ of the pipeline(s) or if the reach of mechanized equipment is capable of extending within
10’ of the pipeline(s). Forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any work is recommended for coordination of “stand-by”. Notice to Olympic does not relieve the contractor of any notification
responsibility to the appropriate state One-Call system.

The above comments and stipulations are submitted only as minimum requirements to avoid conflict with existing easement rights. Olympic reserves the right to impose further stipulations
or requirements consistent with each individual easement. Should you anticipate any problems regarding these requirements, please advise the Olympic Field Project office at the earliest
opportunity.
