BOREHOLE Clause Samples
The BOREHOLE clause defines the requirements and responsibilities related to the drilling, use, or management of boreholes on a property or project site. It typically outlines who is authorized to drill or maintain boreholes, the standards or permits required, and any obligations regarding reporting or remediation. For example, it may specify that the contractor must obtain all necessary permits before drilling or that the landowner is responsible for sealing unused boreholes. This clause ensures that borehole activities are conducted safely, legally, and with clear allocation of responsibility, thereby minimizing environmental risks and regulatory violations.
