AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Agenda Item: 3.3
Meeting Date: May 9, 2022
Agenda Item: Discussion and/or action regarding granting West Texas Gas
an easement along FM 2720 in Lockhart Industrial Park III.
Prepared by: Mike Kamerlander, Director, Economic Development
Attached is an agreement for granting an easement to West Texas Gas
(WTG) at Industrial Park III.
West Texas Gas is the supplier of natural gas to Lockhart Industrial Park III
and has brought the gas line to Cahill Street from the north along FM 2720.
To provide adequate service to the park, WTG is proposing to extend the 6”
line from its current terminus at Cahill down to the railroad track along FM
2720. This would allow WTG to run lines into the park from 2 locations,
rather than one.
The agreement would grant WTG a 30’ construction easement which would
revert to a 10’ easement once construction is completed. The pipeline would
be buried to a minimum depth of 36”.
Attachments:
WTG Easement Agreement and Exhibit A (Map).
Recommendation Approval of natural gas easement agreement with West
Texas Gas.
[RECOMMENDED MOTION] I move to approve the natural gas easement agreement
with West Texas Gas.

components, on, over, across and under the following described land, situated in Caldwell County, of the state of
Texas ( “Property”) as shown in the attached Exhibit “A”
The Right-of-Way shall be thirty feet (30’) in width during the period of initial construction. After initial
construction has been completed, the Right-of-Way shall revert to ten (10’) in width and which Right-of-Way is on
and across the Property. Within thirty days (30) of the Pipeline completion, GRANTEE, at its expense, will provide a
field note description of the area occupied by the Pipeline and the parties will execute and record an amendment to
the Pipeline Easement and Right of Way Agreement that identifies the easement property to be occupied by
GRANTEE’s Pipeline as the area or areas described by field notes.
The GRANTEE will have all rights and benefits necessary or convenient for the full enjoyment or use of the
rights granted, including without limitation: (1) the free right of ingress and egress over and across the Property to and
from the Right-of-Way, including the right to use any gates, whether interior or boundary, for access on and off the
Property; (2) the right to use private roads over and across the Property; (3) the right to install gates or gaps in any
boundary or interior fence within and on the Property, provided that prior to cutting any fence, GRANTEE shall brace
the existing fence on both sides of the Right-of-Way in such manner that there should be no slacking of the wires; and
(4) the right from time to time to cut trees, brush, and under growth and remove other obstructions that may injure,
endanger or interfere with the use of the Pipeline and during initial construction, GRANTEE shall remove all brush
and debris, if any, cleared from the Right-of-Way by burning, chipping, and/or burying. GRANTOR shall not place
any obstruction within the Right-of-Way which could interfere with the normal operation and maintenance of the
Pipeline. This grant shall apply to any interest presently owned or hereafter acquired by GRANTOR in the Property.
GRANTEE shall bury all pipe a minimum of thirty-six inches (36”) unless impenetrable rock is encountered,
then the Pipeline may be buried at a lesser depth. GRANTEE shall remove all trash and other debris that that
GRANTEE or its contractors deposit on the Right-of-Way and restore the surface of the Property to as near its original
condition as is reasonably practicable.
If applicable, GRANTEE agrees to pay a fair and reasonable amount for actual damages, including but not
limited, to roads, fences, ditches, culverts, terraces, natural grasses, ground cover, brush, trees, cultivated land,
growing crops, livestock, buildings and other structural improvements caused by GRANTEE in the exercise of its
rights hereunder; provided, however, subsequent to initial construction, GRANTEE shall have the right from time to
time to cut all trees and/or undergrowth that in GRANTEE’s judgment may injure, endanger, or interfere with the
exercise of GRANTEE’s rights and privileges granted herein. GRANTEE shall be liable for damages caused on the

Right-of-Way by keeping the Right-of-Way clear of trees, undergrowth, and other obstructions.
GRANTOR reserves the right to farm, cultivate and graze the Right-of-Way, to build levees or cross fences
on, over and across the Right-of-Way as near as to a 90 degree angle as possible, as well as to full use and enjoyment
of the premises, subject to the specific rights granted to GRANTEE hereunder; provided, however, GRANTOR shall
not construct on or over the Right-of-Way any buildings, structures or other improvements, natural or man-made
obstructions, or lakes or ponds of any nature that interfere with the construction, maintenance, operation, or access to
and from the Right-of-Way.
GRANTOR shall retain all the oil, gas, and other minerals in, on and under the Right-of-Way; provided,
however, that GRANTOR shall not be permitted to drill or operate equipment for the production or development of
minerals on the Right-of-Way, but will be permitted to extract same from and under the Right-of-Way by directional
drilling and other means, provided such activities do not damage, destroy, injure, and/or interfere with the
GRANTOR’s use and access of and to the Right-of-Way for the purposes for which the Right-of-Way are being sought
herein.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, GRANTOR may construct streets or roads (including
gravel, asphalt, or concrete streets or roads) at any locations above the Right-of-Way provided the portion of a street
or road constructed above the Right-of-Way must cross the Right-of-Way at or near 90 degrees and may not exceed
forty feet (40’) in width, cause a violation of any applicable pipeline regulation, or interfere with the operation and
maintenance of the Pipeline. At least thirty (30) days before the date on which construction of an asphalt or concrete
street or road that will be located wholly or partly in the Right-of-Way is scheduled to begin, GRANTOR must submit
plans for the proposed construction to GRANTEE. GRANTOR’s construction of any such streets or roads shall be at
GRANTOR’s sole expense.
During initial construction of the Pipeline, Grantee shall have the right to use additional workspace of one
hundred feet by one hundred and fifty feet (100’ x 150’) along the Right-of-Way at the crossings of roads, railroads,
pipelines, streams, terraces and uneven terrain.

fee owner of the Property and has the authority to convey the rights and interests set forth herein to GRANTEE.
GRANTOR further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the GRANTEE, its successors and assigns from
all claims disputing GRANTOR’s legal right to convey this Right-of-Way to GRANTEE, to the extent allowed by
law.

Internal Revenue Code compliance.

for all purposes and shall be binding upon and effective as to each party executing the same regardless of whether all
of the parties join in the execution of this instrument. All of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument and may be combined to form a single instrument for recording purposes.
This grant covers all agreements between the parties concerning the Right-of-Way and no representation or
statements, verbal or written, have been made modifying, adding to, or changing the terms of this agreement.
