RE: Open Trenches for Water and Sewer Line Installation on DistrictBlvd.
at48lh Street in the City of Vernon (Crossing No. 25B-1.01C)
Dear Sir:
This letter will serve to confirm our conversation with Mr. Pin Chan and the plan review for the
proposed water and sewer lines under the Los Angeles Junction Railway Company (LAJ) railroad
tracks at the above referred to location.
I am in agreement with your drawings, 82513 - Sheet 8 of 10 and WD2579 - Sheet 1 of 1,
and further agree to allow you to open trench under our tracks on the following conditions:
1. Backfill by using slurry (3 sacks) concrete up to 8" from the bottom of tie.
2. " Support for rail is not possible.
3. Open trenches must be shored by OSHA guidelines.
4. LAJ will need at least 72 hours notification when work is anticipated under or near the
tracks. "
5. LAJ track charts indicate a possibility of a 310 track crossing District Blvd. in this project
area. In the evenUrack is located it will remain in place.
6. The project is divided into two phases, the first phase will be the installation of the
water line in the north side or toward the L.A. River side and the second phase will
involve a sewer line on the south side of District Blvd. There will be a short time span
separation between the two projects. The result will be two weekends (3 days each)
for open trenching that the tracks will remain out of service.
