If requested, we can review these files, maintained at the applicable regulatory agency, for a cost of$350.00. This fee will be waived if we are reviewing files for on-site issues.

Before modifying or expanding the extent of our exploration program, you would be informed of our intentions for both your review and authorization. PRELIMINARY ITEMS Utility Locate Location of existing utilities must be addressed before beginning on-site exploratory work, as follows: • ECS will contact the public utility locator service—North Carolina One-Call Center—to request that utilities be marked prior to performing exploratory work (digging, drilling, etc.).

Normally, this includes water, gas, sewer, electrical power, telephone, and cable. The individual companies mark their utilities using spray paint, but only extend to the meter. It will be Orange County Asset Management & Purchasing's responsibility to identify other utilities. • ECS hereby asks that Orange County Asset Management& Purchasing notify us of all utilities located on site, particularly those utilities beyond the meter or private utilities not identified by the North Carolina One-Call Center. While ECS will take precautions to avoid utilities of which the owner notifies ECS, ECS is not responsible for utilities not marked by the North Carolina One-Call Center. • ECS can retain a private locator to locate utilities beyond the meters and private utilities.
