The borings will be drilled using a hand auger. No investigation derived wastes <br /> will be allowed to remain on the property; these will be immediately removed. RWQCB <br /> approved the workplan in a letter dated June 8, 2009. Copies of the workplan, including <br /> maps, and other pertinent correspondence are enclosed along with a right of entry <br /> agreement application form and a check for$555. <br /> In view of the limited potential for liability associated with this work which will involve <br /> only hand equipment, will include a railroad flagman and will be completed in a few <br /> hours, we are requesting that UPRR accept the existing coverage limits of our insurance <br /> policies. For general liability, professional liability, automobile and workers <br /> compensation, the limits are $1 million. We will also obtain the required Railroad <br /> Protective Liability coverage through UPRR's program with Marsh. <br /> G:\GROUNDZE\ANDRADE\UPRRAccess\ROECoverLetter.doc <br />
