In an effort to protect you and reduce damages, Marathon Pipe Line LLC has developed this resource guide. It provides valuable information about:  Steps for safe digging  811 – the national toll-free call-before-you-dig number  How to respond to a pipeline emergency  Recommended setbacks near pipelines Please refer to this guide before beginning any digging project.

Protecting PIPELINES = PROTECTING Yourself + PROTECTING Others AROUND YOU There are over 2.7 million miles of energy pipelines in the United States transporting petroleum products (crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel), natural gas and other hazardous products. Pipelines are considered the safest and most efficient means of transporting energy products. However, they can be easily damaged by excavation (digging) activity. The results from this type of damage can be severe.

POTENTIAL Consequences Hazards of a pipeline release due to excavation damage include:  Danger of explosion and fire  Loss of life  Personal injury  Property damage  Environmental impact 3

PLANNING AN Outdoor Project?

Outdoor improvements can add value and beauty to your property. Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire SAFE DIGGING SAFE a professional, smart digging means calling 811 before each job. 811 is the designated call-before-you- dig number that directly connects you to your local one call center. This free call can help protect you from serious legal, financial and, most importantly, physical harm resulting from damaging a buried pipeline or other utility.

Most states require that you call at least two full business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before you dig. Some states require more than two days’ advance notice (refer to the table on page 10 for your state).

Projects THAT REQUIRE A Call To 811

 Planting trees or shrubs  Installing a fence  Building a deck or patio  Installing a mailbox post  Digging a pond or swimming pool  Landscaping projects  Installing outdoor lighting  Any digging activity m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e LLC · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s 5 6 m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e LLC · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s

 Your name and telephone number

 County, city or township

 Street address and nearest cross street

 Distance and direction off the road to the dig site

2 Outlining the dig area with white spray paint is recommended so the utility operators will only mark the dig site, not the entire property. Wait for your underground utilities to be marked before starting to dig. 3 The one call center will notify the appropriate utility companies. Trained technicians will mark the location of underground facilities with colored flags, stakes or paint, at no cost to you. The graphic on page 6 indicates the color code for each utility. Natural gas and petroleum pipelines are always marked with yellow paint or flags. 4 Do not remove the flags, stakes or paint marks until you have finished digging. 5 Once your property is marked, dig carefully. Many utilities may only be a few inches below the surface. The depth of pipelines vary. Always hand dig in the area around marked utilities. Never use mechanized equipment (auger, backhoe, etc.) that could seriously damage an underground cable or pipeline. 8 m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e LLC · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s

Underground UTILITIES

Many utilities such as electric, natural gas and petroleum pipelines, water, sewer and telecommunications run underground for safety and aesthetic reasons. But out of sight, shouldn’t mean out of mind. As a property owner, it’s important to be aware of where your underground utilities are located. The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Cables, plastic and clay pipes can be easily damaged by a shovel. m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e LLC · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s 7 9 10 m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e LLC · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s

WHAT IS A Pipeline Right of Way?

A right of way is a strip of land where some of the property owner’s legal rights have been granted to a utility company. A right- of-way agreement between a company and a property owner is also called an easement and is usually filed in public records with property deeds. Rights of way provide a permanent, limited interest in the land. This enables a pipeline company to operate, inspect, repair, maintain, or replace the pipeline on property owned by others. If you have questions about a Marathon Pipe Line LLC right of way, email [email protected]. You can also call the Marathon Pipe Line LLC voice message system toll-free at 1-855-888-8056.

GENERAL Guidelines

Landscaping – Trees, shrubs, and other plantings greater than 3 feet high are prohibited within 25 feet of any pipeline or appurtenance and typically all plantings are prohibited within 10 feet of any pipeline or appurtenance.

Fencing – If crossing the pipeline, fence posts should not be installed within 5 feet of the pipeline. Fences running parallel to the pipeline should be at least 10 feet from the pipeline.

Driveways – Driveways or lanes should cross the pipeline at not less than a 60-degree angle and not run parallel within 25 feet of the pipeline. A minimum cover of 36 inches should be maintained over the pipeline.

Drainage and Septic Systems – Septic systems and their leach fields should not be located within 25 feet of the pipeline.

Removal or Deposit of Dirt – No substantial amount of cover should be removed from the pipeline right of way. Limited amounts of cover can be added, but the pipeline should not be covered by more than 60 inches of soil. Always call 811 prior to adding or removing any dirt from the right of way. 20 m a r at h o n p i p e l i n e l l c · s a f e d i g g i n g g u i d e f o r r e s i d e n t s
