• Please clarify what we are to do with the landowners trash/treasures located all around the site (and blocking access)

• Please advise what we are to do with the landowner’s metal shed he has placed on the pump jack concrete pad

Prior to starting work on a particular project site, the contractor should discuss with the landowner any items that appear to be personal in nature to the landowner and which are located on or adjacent to the well site, especially those blocking access to said well site. It may be necessary to move these items temporarily in order to complete the work.

Contractor should also discuss with the landowner the metal shed located on the concrete pad.

If the landowner desires for any items to remain on site, contractors should obtain a letter from the landowner identifying what items are to remain. This would include documenting the landowner’s desire to keep the metal shed located on the concrete slab.

MSOGB Field Inspectors will assist the contractor as needed with the above.

If the landowner decides they want the contractor to haul off and dispose of the particular items located on or adjacent to the well site, MSOGB and contractor will discuss the disposal of these items individually. Such removal and disposal will be handled via Change Order.

UPDATE: MSOGB has been in contact with the landowner and has confirmed that no personal items need to be removed from the project site. There may be items that need to be moved to the side for access.
