# RIGHTS-OF-WAY: {#rights-of-way .heading}

1.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc11728922 .anchor}GENERAL:  Transmission line
    right-of-way is 100 feet wide, except at locations where guys and
    anchors require additional right-of way. Western does not represent
    that the Contractor can gain access to every structure site or
    travel continuously along the transmission line. Orient construction
    methods and equipment to utilize Government-furnished rights-of-way
    or obtain additional temporary access without additional cost to
    Western. Any additional temporary access acquired by the Contractor
    shall have prior COR approval since several areas of the
    transmission line have travel-restricted areas. During the contract
    period, Western reserves the right to use Contractor-obtained
    access.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc11728923 .anchor}ACCESS EASEMENTS:  Western
    has acquired access easements from existing public roads to the
    transmission line and some off right-of-way access along the
    transmission line. This off right-of-way access route is to provide
    access to the transmission line structure sites not accessible by
    traveling the transmission line.

2.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc11728924 .anchor}WORK ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY:

    a.  General:  Perform work on the rights-of-way necessary for access
        to or along the transmission line. Only excavation, dozing, or
        blading that is absolutely necessary will be allowed.
        Excavation, dozing, and blading for ease of travel may only be
        performed after field review and approval by the COR.
        Unauthorized excavation, dozing, or blading shall immediately be
        repaired or Western will have the damage repaired and backcharge
        the Contractor for all costs involved.

    ```{=html}
    <!-- -->
    ```
    a.  Ease of Travel and Crane Landings:  Excavation, dozing, or
        blading done for ease of travel on any easement or for crane
        landings shall be restored to the original contour of the land
        and shall be compacted to a dry density not less than the
        natural in-place dry density of the surrounding earth. The use
        of water may be required to obtain the required density. Topsoil
        shall be stockpiled and spread on cuts prior to completion of
        work.

# GEOLOGIC INVESTIGATIONS: {#geologic-investigations .heading}

> Geologic information has not been obtained for this project and none

1.  []{#__RefHeading___Toc11728968 .anchor}PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL
    RESOURCES:

    a.  General:  Do not remove or alter cultural artifacts. Artifacts
        of potential scientific or cultural importance, including bones,
        tools and relics are protected by Federal Regulations during
        Federal construction projects.

    ```{=html}
    <!-- -->
    ```
    a.  Unknown Cultural Sites:  On rare occasions cultural sites may be
        discovered during excavation or other earth moving activities.

        1.  Reporting: If evidence of a potential cultural site is
            discovered, immediately notify the COR and give the location
            and nature of the findings. Stop all activities within a
            50‑foot radius of the discovery and do not proceed with work
            within that radius until directed to do so by the COR.

        ```{=html}
        <!-- -->
        ```
        1.  Care of Evidence: Do not damage artifacts or fossils
            uncovered during construction.

    b.  Known Cultural Sites: There are two known cultural sites that
        will require restricted access to several structure locations.

        1.  Structure 10-1 requires restricted access. Contact COR prior
            to accessing this structure or the surrounding area.

        ```{=html}
        <!-- -->
        ```
        1.  Structures 12-8 through 14-1 require restricted access due
            to the Casa Grande Canal. Contact COR prior to accessing
            these structures.

        2.  Should any impacts occur, the Contractor may be liable under
            the Archaeological Resources Protection Act for any resource
            damages.

*Message from the Administrator*

Many words are written about commitment and policy concerning
occupational safety and health programs. But until these words are put
into action, they remain just words. We at Western believe that safety
is not just a piece of paper but integrated actions in everyday work
practices. Safety is a way of life at Western, a condition of
employment. Our program is based on four points.

-   Safety procedures or common sense must not be set aside by any
    employee, whether Federal or contract, to meet a project schedule or
    for personal convenience.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Employees and contractors must believe that they have the right and
    the responsibility for identifying and taking action to reduce, if
    not eliminate, hazardous work environments and hazardous work
    practices.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Managers and supervisors must lead by example and execute their
    responsibility to ensure each job is accomplished in a safe and
    healthful manner.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Safety is a personal responsibility. Each individual makes the
    decision on what action to take to accomplish a task.

I am personally committed to a strong safety program and am asking you
to join me in this commitment. Together we can make Western a safe place
to work.
