subsurface structures prior to drilling or excavating with mechanized equipment. Licensee may

Pipeline. Upon receiving Licensee's timely request, Licensor will provide Licensee with the information
Licensor has in its possession regarding any existing underground lines, utilities, and pipelines at or
near the vicinity of the proposed Pipeline and, if applicable, identify the location of such lines on the

completeness of information relating to subsurface conditions of the Premises and Licensee's
operations will be subject at all times to the liability provisions herein.
12.2 For all bores greater than 26-inch diameter and at a depth less than 10.0 feet below bottom of rail, a
soil investigation must be performed by Licensee and reviewed by Licensor prior to construction. This
study is to determine if granular material is present, and to prevent subsidence during the installation
process. If the investigation determines in Licensor's reasonable opinion that granular material is
present, Licensor may select a new location for Licensee's use, or may require Licensee to furnish for
Licensor's review and approval, in Licensor's sole discretion, a remedial plan to deal with the granular
material. Once Licensor has approved any such remedial plan in writing, Licensee shall, at Licensee's
