Siltation Clause Samples

Siltation. 7.01 Lessee agrees to have on site an approved site-specific Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan in accordance with the Department of Environmental Protection's Rules and Regulations, Title 25, Chapter 102. Lessee realizes that, as a result of its operation, large areas of land which will be cleared to provide for compressor stations, pipeline rights-of-way, and drilling sites, and which will be exposed to the forces of erosion for varying periods of time could create siltation to nearby streams. Lessee agrees, therefore, to regrade such areas immediately and reseed to either temporary or permanent grasses. Any other type of remedial work necessary to prevent erosion on such areas shall be performed by Lessee. 7.02 Lessee shall, upon initial construction of all drilling sites, restore all highwalls and reseed said highwalls and down slope embankment of each drilling site immediately. Department's representative shall be consulted for final design and approval of each drilling site prior to final restoration. 7.03 Lessee's contractors and subcontractors shall not construct earthen dams across any stream to obtain a water supply for its operations unless approved by Department. 7.04 Lessee shall, on pipeline rights-of-way and access roads, construct water bars or similar diversion channels to carry surface runoff away from the rights-of-way and roads to prevent siltation. During construction, if excess siltation is expected, Lessee shall construct a settling basin at the base of the right-of-way or road to impound runoff and allow sediment to settle prior to discharge into nearby streams. 7.05 Lessee shall construct all access roads to all drilling sites along existing pipeline rights- of-way, where applicable, which are built to service the drilling site, provided that a ten percent (10%) grade can be maintained. All road locations and grades must be approved by District Forester as provided hereunder. All roads will be maintained in a passable condition as per Exhibit E (Access Road Specifications) unless modified by District Forester. 7.06 Lessee shall be responsible for the performance of maintenance of all erosion and sedimentation control facilities and devices.
