MAP OF AN AREA USED FOR COMMERCIAL FARM PURPOSES

AND

REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED DEPTH-OF-COVER BY THE

FARMLAND OPERATOR

(To be completed for each affected farmland area, as denoted under

"Minimum Cover" in Appendix 7-G)

NAME OF FARMLAND OPERATOR FOR THE AFFECTED AREA: ____________

LOCATION OF AFFECTED FARMLAND AREA: ____________

(Nearest public road, Town, County)

REVIEW INFORMATION

In areas actively cultivated for commercial farm purposes, as identified by the farmland operator, all pipe shall be installed with a minimum of 40 inches of cover. The farmland operator may allow less than 40 inches of cover if less conforms with normal agricultural practices and planned agricultural engineering projects. The farmland operator may require a depth-of-cover greater than 40 inches where necessary to safely accommodate such practices and projects.

FARMLAND OPERATOR: I am aware that the local Soil Conservation Agent[FN*]is available to discuss with me, prior to executing this document, depth-of-pipeline cover compatible with safe practices and standards of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, contained in the National Handbook of Conservation Practices and its National Engineering Manual. I have reviewed and have a copy of the proposed map (attached hereto) of the line across my farm.
