SOUND ENERGY, INC. EASEMENTS
The following outlines most local governmental guidelines and company standards for trenching on a public right-of-way
or Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (PSE) easement. Any trenching performed by the customer, or their contractor, under a PSE
permit or easement must comply with these requirements.
1. All trench construction must be performed by a Washington State licensed and bonded contractor.
2. Trench excavation, backfill, restoration, and facility placement must be coordinated with a PSE designated
representative, and receive on -site approval by that representative, and local jurisdiction.
3. Right-of-way easement trenching and backfill must be performed during normal business hours, Monday through
Friday. Same day excavation and backfill is required for all trenching. Job start notification to the local jurisdiction
is the responsibility of Potelco, Inc. Customer shall notify Potelco Project Manager three working days prior to
trenching. Penalties for failure to comply with this requirement will be borne by the customer.
4. If the job scope requires excavation beyond a single day, fencing and barricading must be installed around utility
facilities exposed above the trench, if allowed, must be in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
5. PSE, all participating utilities, and One -Call Locate, must be notified a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the
date and time for right-of-way trenching and facility placement. The One -Call Locate number is 1-800-424-5555.
State law requires locating service notification.

shall be removed off -site each day, in accordance with local regulatory requirements. All erosion control
requirements in accordance with local regulatory requirements are the responsibility of the customer.
7. Material excavated from the shoulder of the right-of-way shall be properly disposed, and replaced with select
backfill material in accordance with local regulatory requirements.
8. Proper compaction is required to comply with local regulatory specifications. If the permit requires compaction
testing, the cost of said testing is the responsibility of the customer.
9. All permit requirements, traffic control plans, traffic control and flagging shall meet local regulatory specifications
and satisfaction.
10. In the event of failure to abide by the above requirements, PSE reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to assume

joint construction requirements. The customer is responsible for all trenching costs, and will reimburse the
