What action is required when applying surface treatments within proximity to easements?

When applying surface treatments near easements, it is essential to maintain a specified distance to avoid any potential interference with the rights of access or use associated with the easement. The requirement to maintain a 1-foot distance is based on the need to protect both the surface treatments being applied and the accessibility of the easement. This practice helps ensure that any construction or maintenance associated with the easement can be performed without disruption.

The importance of this requirement lies in recognizing the legal implications and the potential for damage or disruption to utility lines, drainage systems, or other infrastructure that may be located within or adjacent to the easement. Keeping a safe distance minimizes the risk of violating easement rights and promotes safe application practices.

Alternatives that suggest obtaining permission, not applying at all, or simply consulting regulations may not provide the clarity and specific action that is necessary when it comes to the physical act of applying surface treatments while respecting the easement boundaries. Maintaining a distance is a proactive approach to ensure compliance and safety.
