Box 3700 Loveland, Colorado 80539 POLICY AND INFORMATION CONCERNING USE OF WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION TRANSMISSION LINE EASEMENTS It is the policy of the Western Area Power Administration to operate its transmission lines in a manner so that an open and free passageway is maintained. Because of this policy, anyone wishing to construct any facility, whether above ground or underground, on a Western Area Power Administration transmission line easement must, prior to construction, file an application with the Area Manager, P. 0. Box 3700, Loveland, Colorado 80539, to determine whether the Western Area Power Administration has any objection to the proposal. If there is no objection, a determination will be made contingent on the following understanding and agreement: 1. The Western Area Power Administration assumes no liability for injury or damage to persons or property directly or indirectly resulting from the use and maintenance of the transmission lines or the use to be made of the Government easement or any part thereof by you or your assigns. 2. In the event it becomes necessary to reconstruct, repair, or maintain the transmission lines, you may be required to remove, at no expense to the Government, any installation which will prevent free and ready access through, over, and across the easement. 3. All construction on the Western Area Power Administration easement shall conform to the standards of the National Electrical Safety Code as found in the latest revision of National Bureau of Standards Handbook 81. Additional facilities not included in this request, which may be installed at a later date, will require submission of another application. 4. Generally, trees shall not be placed on the government easement because their later growth will interfere with the ope-ation and maintenance of the powerline and necessitate removal or cutting back. 5- Any plan to alter the soil around, along, or between the poles and anchors of the transmission line structures, either by removal or filling, should be included and explained in the application. 6. You will be liable for any and all damage to the Government property by reason of the work performed or facilities constructed pursuant to your request and you shall hold the United States harmless from damage or injury to persons or property arising directly or indirectly from the use of the easement. In order to best consider your request, please complete Form LFCA-20 on the reverse side of this letter, giving all of the pertinent details of your proposals. Stephen A.
