Right -of -Way Use Restrictions Specification
Revision 1
Purpose and Scope
11
This Right-of-Way Restrictions Specification (hereinafter called "Specification ") has been
developed by Buckeye Partners, L.P. and Affiliates (hereinafter called "Buckeye ") and is intended
for landowners, utility owners, general contractors and their sub - contractors, pipeline /utility
contractors, real estate developers, brokers and agents, lending officers and title underwriters,
engineers, architects, surveyors, and local / governmental elected staffs (hereinafter called
"Crossing Party ") as a guideline for the design and construction of proposed land development.
Buckeye appreciates this opportunity to work with you in the planning stages of your
development (or construction activity), and we look forward to working with you proactively.
- Buckeye's primary concern when activities are taking place near our pipeline is public safety and
environmental protection. The intent of this Specification is to provide a clear and consistent set
of requirements that will: (1) reduce the risk of damage to our pipeline and related facilities;
(2) ensure unencumbered access to our right -of -way and pipeline facilities and the availability
of adequate workspace for routine maintenance, future inspection, and /or repair work on our
pipeline; and (3) enable the effective corrosion protection of our pipeline.
All such activities and projects that are performed near Buckeye's pipeline facilities are subject
to formal review by Buckeye prior to issuance of final written approval. Depending on the scope
of the project and its impact on Buckeye's pipeline facilities, additional engineering requirements
17 and protective measures may apply. The following requirements are not only the policy of
Buckeye, but comply with regulations set forth by the United States Department of
Transportation, Safety Regulations, 49 CFR, Parts 192 and 195.
We want to be a good neighbor, but to do so requires us to act responsibly in protecting our
right - -ofway and preventing damage to the pipeline system. While we want to make every effort
to accommodate your desired use of your property, our responsibility for public safety is
paramount. Through proper planning and communications, we can ensure the safety and integrity
of our pipeline system and the welfare of our neighbors.
The transmittal of this Specification does not constitute Buckeye's approval
or permission for the Crossing Party to begin construction or work within or
across the pipeline right -of -way. Work may not commence until written
authorization approving such work has been issued by Buckeye.
1.0 General Guidelines
1.1 The safety of the pipeline must be considered at all times. No attempt to probe for or
engage in any construction activities which might damage the pipeline is permitted.
1.2 Before any preliminary field work or construction begins in the vicinity of Buckeye's pipeline,
a determination of the exact location and elevation of the pipeline must be made. To
coordinate this procedure, please contact our local Field Operations Supervisor at the
Buckeye facility nearest to your proposed project. See Attachment 1 for a listing of
Buckeye's facilities and telephone numbers.
1.3 All proposed drawings /plans must be submitted to Buckeye's Right of Way and Engineering
Departments for review to determine to what extent, if any, the pipeline or right -of -way
will be affected by the proposed construction and /or development. These drawings /plans
must be prepared in strict compliance to Buckeye Specification "Requirements for
Submission of Design Plans (see Attachment 4).
1.4 When any construction activity is conducted in or around our pipeline right -of -way,
Buckeyes On -Site Inspector must be present at all times. NO WORK SHALL TAKE PLACE
WITHOUT A BUCKEYE ON -SITE INSPECTOR PRESENT. For this free service, contact our local
Field Operations Supervisor at the Buckeye facility nearest to your proposed project.
1.5 The Crossing Party shall contact Buckeye for re- marking of a pipeline if the existing
I markers are inadequate for any reason, including disturbance due to construction activities.
Note: Federal law prohibits the removal of pipeline markers.
1.6 The Crossing Party shall not burn trash, brush, or other items or substances within 50 feet
of the pipeline.
1.7 The Crossing Party shall not store any equipment or materials on the right -of -way.
1.8 During routine or emergency maintenance on the pipeline, the cost to restore approved
- surface improvements (e.g., pavement, landscaping, sidewalks, etc.) shall be the
responsibility of the Crossing Party.
2.0 Excavation and Construction Restrictions
2.1 Excavation operations shall be performed in occordance with appropriate State
"One - Cali" "utility locating system requirements. As a matter of State law, anyone
undertaking excavation work is required to call three (3) working days before excavating. A
list of State "One -Call" numbers can be found in Attachment 3.
2.2 The Crossing Party will conduct "white- lining" of any proposed excavation areas. Buckeye will
erect temporary pipeline markers /flags (yellow) identifying the location of the pipeline within
the work area, and will provide information on how to respond should the pipeline be
damaged or a commodity release occur. All personnel operating equipment over or around
the pipeline must be made aware of its location and what to do if they make contact with
the pipeline.
2.3 When a Crossing Party excavates near Buckeye's pipeline, a Buckeye Representative must
locate the pipeline and determine the depth of cover before the Crossing Party begins
excavation. The Crossing Party shall not perform any excavation, crossing, backfilling, or
construction operations until Buckeye's On -Site Inspector has reviewed the proposed work
on site and given approval for work to proceed. Buckeye's On -Site Inspector shall have full
authority to stop the work if it is determined that the work is being performed in an
unsafe manner.
2.4 No equipment shall work directly over the pipeline. The Crossing Party shall install temporary
fencing clang Buckeye's right -of -way boundaries so that equipment will not inadvertently
pass over the pipeline at locations other than those established for crossing (see Section
3.6).
2.5 When excavating within the right -of -way, the Crossing Party's backhoe shall have a plate
welded over the teeth of the backhoe bucket, and the side cutters must be removed prior
to excavation. Within 24 inches of the outer edge of the pipe (this "tolerance zone"
extends on all sides of the pipe), only hand excavation, air cutting, and vacuum excavation
are permitted.
2.6 No excavations shall be made on land adjacent to the pipeline that will in any way impair,
withdraw lateral support, cause subsidence, create the accumulation of water, or cause
damage to the pipeline or right -of -way.
2.7 The Crossing Party shall ensure all excavation work complies with OSHA's excavation
standards outlined in 29 CFR 1926 and correct any noncompliant excavation site before
Buckeye's On -Site Inspector or the Crossing Party enters the site to perform work.
2.8 If conditions require, the Crossing Party shall be directed by Buckeye to install sand or
cement bags or other suitable insulating materials to maintain proper vertical clearance
from the pipeline.
2.9 At any location where the pipeline is exposed, the Crossing Party shall provide Buckeye the
opportunity to inspect the pipeline condition, install cathodic protection test leads, and
install underground warning mesh.
2.10 The maximum unsupported exposed length of pipe shall be 20 feet for 4- inch - diameter
pipe, 25 feet for 6 -inch- to 10- inch - diameter pipe, and 35 feet for 12 -inch- to
24- inch- diameter pipe. When required, the pipeline shall be supported with grout and sand
bags or padded skids. At no time shall the pipeline be used as a brace to support
equipment or sheeting /shoring materials.
2.11 No buried pipeline may be left exposed for any duration of time without concurrence of
Buckeye's On- -Site Inspector.
L2.12 Backfill and compaction shall be performed to the satisfaction and in the presence of
Buckeye's On -Site Inspector. At least 6 inches of fine, loose earth or sand with no sharp
gravel, rock, hard clods, vegetation, or other debris shall be placed on all sides of any
pipeline, and remaining backfill shall be placed so as not to disturb this padding material
I _ or damage the pipeline. Backfill over the pipe shall be compacted by hand until 18 inches
of cover is achieved. The disturbed ground shall be compacted to the some degree of
compaction of surrounding areas. The Crossing Party shall restore the site to Its original
. condition except for items that are part of the Buckeye approved change.
