Michigan Wisconsin Pipe Line Company presently holds a defined easement for our 10" main line and 16" loop line across the tract. Attached is a copy of a Drawing PL-350-09-119 indicating the location of this easement. The easement grants our Company the right to "survey, construct, operate, maintain, inspect, alter, replace, move and remove a pipeline - - - over, through, upon, under and across the property together with the right of entrance and exit at convenient points for such purposes." Attached for your reference is a set of guidelines that sets forth our Company requirements in the development of property across which we hold pipeline easements. We require that no buildings, septic tanks or septic fields be located within the easement limits of our pipeline, as this area is required for maintenance and operation of our facilities and necessary for aerial observation.

John Land df Attachments cc: Messrs. M. O. Maxson N. J. McFarland M. C. Sommerville H. L. Walters GUIDELINES FOR PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT (Single Dwelling Units) 1. No buildings may be constructed on the pipeline right-of-v.e.y. In view of the fact that this pipeline transports natural gas at pressures up to975 pounds per square inch, we urge that, as a matter of policy, you locate dwellings and other permanent structures as far fran the right-of- way as practical. - 2. The right-of-way above the pipeline must not be paved, except when necessary for crossing of roads or walks, and grass or other vegetation should be kept or restored as far as practicable. A permanent cover of vegetation is desirable since it facilitates observation by our pipeline patrol planes. 3. No substantial amount of cover may be removed fran above the line. In general, we require that the line be covered by at least thirty-six (36) inches over the top of the pipeline. There is no objecticn to adding cover in limited amounts, but generally speaking, the lines should not be covered by more than five (5) or six (6) feet of soil. 4. Shrubbery and small plants may be planted on the right-of-way. We prefer not to have large trees, since their roots may in sane instances damage the pipelines and they make observation more difficult fran our patrol planes. 5. Driveways crossing the right-of-way must be kept to a minimum, and should be spaced at reasonable intervals. They should cross the pipelines at as close to a right angle as possible. 6. There is no objecticn to the crnstruction of roadways across our pipeline easerrents provided crossing permissicn is applied for and detail road design dI'awings are sul:rnitted for our review in determining effects on our facilities. The cost of any protectirn required for our facilities (such as casing or a concrete pad) to acconrncdate the proposed road loadings shall be borne by the landowner. 7. There is no objection to the installation of sewer or water lines across Our pipeline easements provided crossing permission is applied for and plans are sul:rnitted indicating the required clearance of a minimum of fourteen (14) inches and preferably eighteen (18) inches between our facilities. Also, there is no objection to the installation of overhead power or telephone lines provided they do not interfere with or are not installed too close to our pipelines. However, all buried gas or electric power lines crossing our easerrent must be either encased in steel pipe or plastic pipe that will resist prœe]Jeneb::"ation, or be se=ed within angle iron, or protected with 2" x 6" treated planks, or protected with a layer of concrete, or be installed within formed ccn=ete conductors. Casing or protector is to extend a minimum distance of ten (10) feet measured at right angles fran our pipelines. 8. Any construction on the right-of-way must be done in the presence of our Carlpany representative so as to avoid possible damage to the lines. Excavation within five (5) feet of our pipelines must be done with the use of hå:ridtools only.
