Site description: The project site is approximately 427+/- acres located along Westminster Road between the intersections of Westminster Road and Interstate 81 and Westminster Road and Jumper Road. The municipal boundary of Jenkins Township and Plains Township runs through the property with approximately 145 acres of the property in Plains Township and 295 acres of the property in Jenkins Township. Access to the site will be available using SR – 2039 “Westminster Road”. Two access points are available along Westminster Road between the intersections of Jumper Road and SR-315 as shown in the Schematic Site Plan. There is a 24” high pressure natural gas line owned by Williams that runs through the property. The gas line has a 50 foot right of way. No machine excavation will be performed within 24” of Williams pipelines or related facilities. Each proposed development or activity requires a site specific evaluation by a qualified Williams representative. No above ground structures are permitted within the Williams Right-of- way. All utility lines crossing the Right-of-way must do so at a ninety (90) degree angle. Buried telephone, TV, data transmission, fiber optic, and power lines must be encased in steel. Williams has provided their “Williams Requirements for Landowner & Third Party Construction” outlining the restrictions for building near the pipeline. A copy of the “Williams Requirements for Landowner & Third Party Construction” is included in the Appendix B of this report. There is an electric transmission line that runs parallel to the western boundary of the site. The electric transmission line does not pose any real restriction to development of the site as it is in close proximity to the western property line. Strip and deep mining operations were performed on the site in the past. A geotechnical study should be performed on the site to identify any existing soil or geological limitations.
