Three feet (3') of minimum cover will also be required over the pipeline facilities at all equipment crossings for standard FDOT maximum axle load vehicles (20,000 lbs.per axle; 80,000 tbs.maximum weight).. 4. For vehicles and/or construction equipment exceeding the standard FDOT wheel axle load limits and requesting approval to cross FGT's facilities, each crossing location will be reviewed on a case-by- case, site-specific basis and will require the surveyed elevation of the pipeline and/or facility verified by an FGT field representative to be performed by the party requesting the crossing encroachment and submitted to FGT. The execution of a wheel load calculation must be completed and approved by FGT prior to crossing FGT's facilities for every vehicle and/or construction equipment requesting to cross. FGT may require matting or other suitable material be installed to achieve the necessary support for such crossing. This too will be site specific and case-by-case only. 5.

The cable crossing should be clearly and permanently marked on each side of the right-of-way where permissible. 9. Where consent for fencing has been granted, the IRC must install and maintain a vehicle access gate at least twelve feet (12') in width at each point in the fence line(s) crossing the Easement area. Posthole excavations for fencing placed on the easement area shall not be greater than eighteen inches (18") below the ground surface elevation. No fence posts shall be placed over the pipeline facilities or closer than six feet(6') on either side of the pipeline facilities. Any exceptions will be determined by an FGT field representative. Any such fence shall be constructed and maintained by IRC in such a manner r.,, that does not prevent FGT personnel from viewing the easement area from the ground level through the fence(s) (i.e. no solid fences allowed). No fencing parallel to the FGT pipeline facilities will be allowed -5- 185
