Arkansas, hereinafter designated as Lessee, YYI~SSETH:
The Lessor agrees to permit the Lessee to construct the outlet pipe line Por
its sanitary sewer system on and across the Levee end Right of Way, for the
following consideration to wit:
L The attached plena, which are the detail of the nlana appoved b-y the City ~,
Council of West I<9emphis, Arkansas, on 1936. -~ Said plena being
designated as "Sewer System West biemphi.s, Axicansas, F. W. A. Docket No. 2615,
M. C. Baumann, Engineer, West Memphis, Ark"., and marked "approved with ex-
ceptions" on 1936, by the St. Francis Levee Hoard by 4V. G. Huxtalile,
Chief Engineer. The said plans with the exceptions as hereinafter set out,are
approved by the Lessor and are he:~~by made a part of this Agree~E~t.
".he exceotiona referred to are as Follows:
The Lessee agrees to chan ge that part of the plans marked "A-A, Typical earth
embankment for discharge line between levees" so as to eliminate the fill section
between the le veea, and to change the grade line of the sewer between the levees
so that the top of the. pipe will be placed one Paot below the surface of the
river side pit oY the new levee at its lowest point. Also the top of the pipe
will. be placed two feet below the river side berm of the levee, from the angle
at the river side toe of the levee, designated es "detail B", to the beginning
of the pit, which is 40 feet out from the toe of the slope.
2. The Lessee agrees to maintain that part of the Levee and Right of Way used
by the Lessee and also to be responsible for any d~ege to the Levee or Right of
Way that may be caused to the Levee or Rigla of Way by this construction.
3. If hereafter the Lessor desires to change the location of the levee or to
change the grade and section of the Levee where it nov^ stands, the Lessee agrees
to remcce its pipe, cot_cr~~te, reli-,f valves, etc., which have been c rnistrneted ~
on the Levee or Right of Way at its own cost and within the thirty days after
being notified by the Chie£ Engineer of the Lessor. The Lessor agrees that the
pipe and connections may be replaced as soon es such a change in the Levee is ~
conpleted and it is further ag:~ed that such a change will in no wise affect
the status of this Agreement.
4. If or when it becomes necessary for the Lessee to Increase the size of its
outlet plpe crossing the Levee end Right of iY9y, ti'.° Lessor re sorves the right
to say at what p°riod of the year the change may bermade. The IPSSee agrees
that it will require that that section of the Levee wY,ich is to be covered
b y the fill, to be placed over and around the ~Spe, is thoroughly plowed from
the toe of the slope to the toe of the slope of the new fill section, so that `
a good bond is made with the old fill section. the new fill section on the
river side slope c.° th.e Levee is to be thoroughly compacted and is to be hand
tamped under the pipe or eomtact by some method approved by the lhiaf I;ngineer-
of the Lessor.

The surface of the new fill which is to be made over the pipe is to have
a ten on one side slope and is to be sodded with live bermuda sod. The sod
or tufts shall Nava a good root system and shall have a least dimension of
2" and shall be planted as soon as practical after having been removed from
the soil in which they were grown. The sod shell be planted in individual
holes and covered with from o~ to two inches of soil. The holes for the
sod are to be dug with a mattox and spaced not morn than l2" from center to
center. ^'he holes also axe to be staggered so th^t they will not be in a
row. Should the sod die the Lessee agrees to replace it within thirty days
~.
The Lessen agrees that it will not accept from its contractor the fill over
the Levee until it is approved by the Chief Engineer of the Lessor.
5. During the flood season if a sccur develops between the pipe and the Leven
that cannot be checked b y other reasonable means, it may be necessary to tear
out the section of pipe on the river aide of the Zevee to check the scour, in
this event the Lessee will replace the pipe and repair the damage at its own
cost. The cost oP labor and material used in attempting to check the scour
caused by'-this constructibn, will bo directed by the forces oP the Lessor
but will be paid for by the Lessee.
6. Any leaks that develop in the line over the Levee or within 100 feet of
the toe of the slope on either side, shall be repaired at once by the Lessee.
It is understood that no buildings or equipa~ nt are to be placed on the
Levee Right of Way. This Agreement is to cover an easement for the pipe line
with the necessary valves, and nothing else.
7. In the event that the combination release and by-pass valve designated
as "B" 1n the plan is open enough to cause scour below the end oY the concrete
spillway, as it is shown in the plsna, than the Lessee agrees to build a gutter
or install a drain pipe at least 50 Peet long, beginning at this spillway, to
take care of this condition.
