APPLICATION REQUEST FOR TOWN OF ATHELSTANE Page 4A-of 4A INTRODUCTION A. OVERVIEW OF UTILITY ACCOMMODATION The Town of Athelstane constructs, operates, and maintains the town and private road system. Utility companies provide service to major centers of population as well as to individual users. Both the department and utility companies typically provide facilities that consider future as well a present needs. Cooperation between these two entities is essential if the public is to be served at the lowest costs consistent with the respective public service needs obligations and interests. B. PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE TOWN AND PRIVATE RD. SYSTEM The primary purpose of the Town and Private Road System is to provide a safe and convenient means for the vehicular transportation of people and goods. Any permitted use and occupancy of town right-a-way for non-town purposes is subordinate to the primary interests of the traveling public. C. PURPOSE OF THE UTILITY ACCOMMODATION POLICY The purpose of this document is to prescribe the policies and procedures that shall be met by any utility whose facility currently occupies, or will occupy in the future, any Town, Private Road or bridge over which the town has maintained jurisdiction. D. UTILITY ACCOMMODATION 1. Permits It is the policy of the town to permit utility facilities on town and private roads when: a. Such use and occupancy does not adversely affect the primary functions of the roadway or materially impair their safety, operational, or visual qualities. b. There would be no conflict with the provisions of federal, state or Local laws or regulations or the accommodation provisions stated herein, and c. The occupancies would not significantly increase the difficulty or roadway construction or maintenance. Page 1-of 43 2. Additions Nothing in this policy shall be construed as limiting the rights of the Town to impose restrictions or requirements in addition to and/or deviations from those stated herein in any permit where the town deems it advisable to do so. An appropriate explanation for such action should be provided to the utility. 3. Alterations The permitted facilities shall, if necessary, be altered by the utility to facilitate alteration, improvement, safety control, or maintenance of the roadway as may be ordered after permit approval, All costs for constructing, maintaining, altering, and relocating the permitted facilities shall be the obligation of the applicant, unless a specific town executed utility parcel or agreement otherwise provides. If the utility encounters a hardship during installation that prevents installation in accordance with the permit, the utility may (at the risk of having to move the installation) make changes to permitted installation. The town has final determination as to the validity of the hardship. If the town determines that the changes were made due to the installers preference, and not due to hardship, the utility will take action within 10 days to correct such alterations. For clarification purposes: hardships are solid rock, uncross able swamps, cemeteries, or similar circumstances that make construction physically or economically unfeasible.

UTILITY FACILITY CONDITION REQUIREMENTS All utility facilities shall be kept in good state of repair both structurally and from the standpoint of appearance. SPECIFIC PROVISIONS A. EMERGENCY WORK Emergency situations may arrive when immediate action to protect the safety of the general public requires utility operations within a town road system which are not in full compliance with the provisions of this policy. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring a utility to delay such emergency repair. Page 9-of 43 Emergency repairs may be performed within the right-of-way when physical conditions or time considerations prevent application for the usual permit. However, as soon as feasible, the utility shall advise the town of the emergency, its plans or actions for alleviating the dangerous situations, and arrangements made for control and protection of traffic affected by its proposed operations. When this policy requires a permit for such work, a permit shall be obtained as soon as possible and any alterations deemed necessary through the permit approval process shall be made. B. CHEMICAL TREATMENT AND CUTTING OF TREES The utility shall be prohibited from chemical treatment or cutting of trees on town roads or private roads without a permit from the town. The permit application shall provide the area intended to be sprayed, the schedule in which the work is to be completed, the chemical and application rate.

ABOVE GROUND FACILITIES If a utility discontinues use of an above ground facility, the facility shall be entirely removed from the right-of-way within one year after its use is discontinued unless written approval for a time extension is granted by the town. B. UNDERGROUND FACILITIES A record of underground utility facilities abandoned in the right-of-way should be maintained in the utility s permanent files. Abandoned underground facilities should be locatable in the field [see WISCOT Policy 96.04 (D)]. Page 10-of 43 The town shall not require a utility to physically remove any abandoned underground facility so long as a permanent record of it is maintained, and if it does not prevent construction or modification of any road improvement and/or structure. The town will not bill for the first hour of lost time when an unmarked line has been disturbed. If the utility fails to respond within one hour of notification, their failure to respond will result in lost time charges for hours thereafter. Failure by the utilities to resolve the issue of abandoned lines within one (1) year of adoption of this policy will result in changes to the no charge for the first hour of lost time. Abandoned facilities must be located and marked as abandoned within three (3) calendar days of a request for location made to the utility or the utility s locate service. Failure to locate and mark abandoned facilities shall result if liability to the utility for any damages to any property or personal injury or damages, including lost production time due to work shut down until the utility crew and/or locate crew arrives and determines that the facility is abandoned. Abandoned appurtenant facilities such as manholes and pull boxes shall be filled in or removed in accordance with the Wisconsin Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. COMPLIANCE A. AUTHORITY All utilities are required to abide by the provisions stated in this policy and those specific provisions related to their individual permits. Representatives of the Town of Athelstane have the authority to enforce the provisions stated in this policy and those specific provisions relative to individual permits. These representatives include the town chairman, town supervisors and town lead worker. Also included are project engineers when utility permits are part of the construction projects. Page 11 of 43 B. FAILURE TO COMPLY Failure of a utility to comply with the provisions of this policy and/or their permit shall be cause for town action. At the town s option, any or all of the following measures may be taken: 1. Verbal Request for Corrective Action The request shall include: a. The reason(s) why the present or completed operation is (was) not in compliance with the provisions of the policy and/or permit. b. What steps shall be taken to correct the situation and 2.

Suspension of Work Activities If a responsible person of an inspected work site fails to comply with a verbal request, the representative may order the suspension of all work activities at the site. If this occurs, the Town Chairman shall be informed of the situation. The town shall then contact an authority of the utility to explain why the operation was suspended and what action needs to be taken before any activity can resume. 4. Removal of Installed Facilities Any facility installed by a utility shall be in the location shown on the approved permit. If such a facility is discovered in any other location, action shall be taken to have that facility removed. The utility shall remove the improperly placed facility and put it in an approved location. If the utility fails to remove their facility, within a reasonable time, the town shall have the facility removed and relocated, if necessary, at the utility s expense. Page12 of 43 5. Permit Revocation When a utility continues to be in noncompliance with the provisions of their permit, the town may revoke the utility s permit. The utility may reapply for a permit to the Town Chairman when they can demonstrate a good faith effort to comply. 6. Public Service Commission (PSC) Notification Continued violations by a utility of this policy and/or the provisions of their permits may cause the town to notify the PSC and request its assistance in correcting the situation. 7. Withholding Approval of Future Permits Continued violations by a utility of this policy and/or the provisions of their permits may cause the town to withhold approval of permit applications for that utility until the violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the town. The severity and number of written reprimands against a utility shall serve as a guide in determining future permit approval. C. PROCEDURES 1. Inspection of Work Upon reaching a work site, the representative shall locate a responsible person and ask to review and discuss the operation. If applicable, a review of the permit shall also be performed. A copy of the permit must be on the job site. If the representative decides that changes to the operation are needed to bring it into compliance with the provisions of the policy and/or permit, then a verbal request is the first corrective measure which shall be taken. 2. Inspection of Completed Work After a permitted operation has been completed, the job site is subject to an inspection by the town. If the work was done in violation of the permit and/or the provisions of this policy, then a verbal request is the first corrective measure which shall be taken [see (b) (1)]. Page 13 of 43 D. IMMEDIATE ACTION (WORK IN PROGRESS) When a utility operation or installation is not in compliance with the provisions of the policy and/or their permit and is adversely affecting public safety, the representative must take action immediately. If a responsible person refuses to comply with the verbal request and does not take immediate corrective measures to ensure public safety, the representative shall then call the local law enforcement agency to have the utility and/or its contractor(s) removed from Town right-of-way. The representative shall also take corrective measures to return the roadway to a safe operating condition. UNEXPECTED RIGHT-OF-WAY A. INTRODUCTION This policy highlights the procedures and responsibilities that a utility shall follow when unexpected conditions are encountered while locating its facilities on the right-of-way. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) archeological sites, 2) historical sites, 3) contaminated Soils, 4) underground storage tanks (USTs), and 5) leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs). Throughout the remainder of this policy, these items will be referred to as  environmental conditions. B. UTILITY RESPONSIBILITY When a utility wants to locate its facility on the right-of-way and the town is not required to furnish the utility with information concerning environmental conditions, the utility has the responsibility of determining if these conditions exist as their proposed site. It is suggested that the utility perform a site assessment to accomplish this. In some situations, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and/or The State Historical Preservation Officer may allow certain environmental conditions to remain in their existing location. If this occurs and the utility decides to locate its facility through that area, then the utility must document in its permit application why it needs to utilize that location along with its proposed construction methods. These permits will be routed through the Town of Athelstane (or town board or lead worker) to obtain concurrence for final approval. Page 14 of 43 C. SITE ASSESSMENT When a utility needs to do site assessments, the procedures listed in the state s Facilities Development Manual may be used as a guide. Specifically, Chapter 26 has information on archeological and historical site assessments, and Chapter 21, section 35, has information regarding contaminated site assessments. Copies of these can be obtained from the town. The town recommends that site assessments be performed by a qualified historian, archeologist, and/or environmental consultant if the utility does not employ personnel specifically qualified for this work. D. DISCOVERY OF UNEXPECTED CONDITIONS When any unexpected environmental condition is discovered during a utility operation, the operation shall be shut down immediately. Failure to comply with this requirement shall result in financial responsibility for the utility due to subsequent site assessments, mitigation, remediation, and/or fines. A checklist has been developed (see appendix 96.97) to help utilities obtain the necessary information which will be asked of them by site investigators. If the site poses a possible health risk, the county sheriff and fire departments shall also be notified immediately, and the utility shall take the necessary steps to provide for the safety of people and property in the area. After suspending operations, a utility shall contact the offices listed below depending upon the type of conditions discovered. The town shall receive a copy of any assessment completed prior to granting the request permit. 1. Archeological/Historical Sites State historic preservation officer (archeological site) - (608) 264-6500 or Burial Sites Preservation Office (burials) - (608-264-6503 or (900) 342 7834 and Town Chairman or Town of Athelstane Lead Worker 715/856-5163. Page15 of 43 2. Contaminated Sites, USTs, LUSTs, etc. Local DNR office (required under Wisconsin law). See appendix for contacts and The town will notify the utility when it can resume its operation. E. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY  Assessed area, in this policy, means the area within the right-of-way which has been investigated according to the length, width, and depth detailed in the assessment report(s). 1. If a utility discovers environmental conditions while operating in an area which has been assessed by the town and reported to be clear, then the utility shall not be financially responsible for any additional assessments, mitigation and/or remediation provided it has shut down work immediately and provided notice as required in section E of this policy. However, the utility shall be financially responsible for the prompt and proper handling of contaminated excavated material. 2. Upon discovery of any of the environmental conditions listed below, the utility that was responsible for conducting its own site assessments has the following associated financial responsibilities: a. Archeological/Historical Sites When an archeological and/or historical site is discovered by a utility, the utility may do one or both of the following: 1. Conduct a site assessment at its own expense. Any mitigation expense shall also be borne by the utility. 2. Submit, for town approval, a revised permit application that avoids the site. b. Contaminated Sites, USTs, LUSTs, Etc. When contamination, USTs, LUSTs, etc. are reported to the DNR, the DNR will order the owner of the source or other responsible party to undertake remediation. However, the utility shall be financially responsible for the prompt and proper handling of contaminated excavated material. Page 16-of 43 c. If the town is not the responsible party, then the utility which incurs any costs due to site contamination on the right-of-way will have to recover from the responsible party. d. If the town is the responsible party: 1. A Utility that ceases its operation immediately upon the discovery of these conditions and takes the necessary steps to notify the proper authorities shall not be financially responsible for the assessment and remediation costs except the prompt and proper handling of contaminated excavated material. 2. A utility that discovers these conditions and does not cease its operation immediately remains financially responsible for the costs of assessment and/or remediation. PERMIT REQUIREMENTS A. NEED FOR A PERMIT A utility shall obtain a permit from the town before any use or occupancy of town road or private road is allowed. B. PERMIT AUTHORIZATION TO USE AND/OR OCCUPY RIGHT-OF-WAY By issuance of a permit, the town formally indicates that, subject to all applicable permit conditions, a specified use and/or occupancy of right-of-way is not adverse to the road interests at the time of the permit approval. The town does not warrant that public title to the right-of-way is free and clear, does not certify that it has sole ownership, and does not indicate any intention to defend the utility in its peaceful use and occupancy of said lands. The permit does not transfer any land; nor give, grant or convey any land right, right in land, or easement. Written authorization from the town does not relieve the utility from compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and codes, and local laws and ordinances which affect the design, construction, materials, or performance of the work. The town s authorization shall not be construed as superseding any other governmental agency s more restrictive requirements Page 17-of 43 Each permit shall be required to have the town s standard indemnification language (policy 96.03 - date highway maintenance manual) as part of the overall document. The utility should retain a copy of the permit in their files during the entire time the facility is located on, over or under town road or private road right-of-way. REQUIRED INFORMATION A. GENERAL POLICY A utility s request to use and occupy the right-of-way cannot be considered until adequate information is provided. The amount of detail will vary with the complexity of the installation and road involved, but must include the appropriate permit form, drawings or sketches, and installation information so that the effect on the roadway operation, traffic safety, and visual qualities can be evaluated. B. PERMIT APPLICATION FORMS Utilities shall only use the single-page town permit application forms which are made by the clerk and available from the Town Hall.

Near footings of bridges and retaining walls. 3. Across roadway intersections at grade or ramp terminals. 4. At cross drains where the flow of water may be obstructed. 5. Within basins of an underpass drained by a pump. 6. In wet or rocky terrain where it will be difficult to attain minimum bury. C. UNDERGROUND LONGITUDINAL LOCATION The longitudinal location of underground utility facilities within the right-of-way shall provide as much clearance from the traveled way as conditions will allow. Such lines shall be on uniform alignment and be located at or as near as practical to the right-of-way line. To maintain a reasonable uniform utility alignment, location variances may be allowed when irregular-shaped portions of the right-of-way extend beyond the normal right-of-way limits. No utility lines are allowed in the ditch bottom or on the in slope. D. ABOVE GROUND LONGITUDINAL LOCATION The longitudinal location of above ground utility facilities shall be outside of the clear zone. Such lines shall be on a uniform alignment and be located at or as near as practical to the right-of-way line. Exceptions may be granted when no other location is feasible or when the clear zone extends to the right-of-way line. If any above ground utility facility is within the clear zone or is determined to be in a location that has a higher than average accident potential, the department may require: 1. The utility facility use approved yielding or breakaway construction, Or 2. The utility facility to be protected by a town approved barrier such as beam guard, crash cushion, etc. Page 21-of 43 To maintain a reasonably uniform utility alignment, location variances may be allowed when irregular-shaped portions of the right-of-way extend beyond the normal right-of-way limits. E. EXISTING UTILITIES When a utility facility exists within the right-of-way of an existing or proposed town, it may remain provided it does not adversely affect roadway safety based on sound engineering judgment and economic considerations. The existing facility shall be relocated if: 1. It conflicts with any construction or maintenance activities, or 2. It is located longitudinally under the pavement or shoulder for a reconditioning or reconstructed project. 3. Is found to not be within accepted standards for depth of bury, or overhead clearance or in locations not acceptable to the town. Exceptions may be granted for 1 and 2 above based on sound engineering judgment and economic considerations. F. SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING The use of subsurface utility engineering (SUE) to locate buried facilities is approved by the town. Any utility installation using SUE shall be noted on the permit form. APPURTENANCES A. GENERAL POLICY Appurtenant facilities such as pedestals, manholes, vents, drains, rigid markers, valve and regulator pits, etc. should be located outside of the clear zone and near or at the right-of-way line. Manholes, valve pits, etc., should be installed so that their uppermost surfaces are flush with the adjacent undisturbed surface. Page 22-of 43 B. BUILDINGS Buildings shall not be located on the right-of-way. C. CABINETS Cabinets should not be located on the right-of-way. When cabinets are allowed on the right-of-way they shall be placed at a location not vulnerable to an errant vehicle and at or as near as practical to the right-of-way line. D. MANHOLES Manholes shall not be located in the pavement and should not be located in the shoulders of heavily traveled roadways. Exceptions may be made on roadways where manholes are essential parts of existing lines. New manhole installations shall be avoided at the intersection of traveled ways. VERTICAL LOCATION Note: See appendix for a graphic representation of this policy. A. UNDERGROUND The depth of bury for underground facilities within the right-of-way shall be a minimum 24 inches, as measured from the finished ground surface to the top or the facility at the time of installation. The depth of bury for underground facilities crossing the roadway shall be a minimum of 30 inches as measured from a straight line connecting the lowest points of the finished ground or pavement surface on each side of the right-of-way to the top of the facility at the time of installation. Where minimum bury is not feasible, the facility shall be routed or protected with a casing, concrete slab, or other suitable measures. In solid rock, the depth of bury may be reduced if adequate protection is provided. All utilities shall obtain prior approval from the town before burying any facility less than a minimum depth required. Page 23-of 43 B. OVERHEAD Vertical clearances for overhead facilities shall comply with all applicable state and national electrical codes. In all cases, facilities crossing over the roadway shall at no time be less than those shown in Table 232-1, Column 1, National Electrical Safety Code C2-1997 and it s subsequent future revisions as approved and accepted in the Wisconsin Electrical Code. INSTALLATION ON STRUCTURES A. GENERAL POLICY Attachments to structures should be avoided. However, attaching utility lines to roadway structures may be permitted when they do not materially affect the: 1. Structure design and appearance, 2. Safe operation of traffic, and 3. Efficiency of maintenance. The utility shall be responsible for all town s costs associated with such attachments. This includes, but is not limited to, additional design time, increased bridge deck thickness, and future bridge maintenance (painting and inspection). B. INSTALLATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS When a utility facility is attached to a structure, the installation shall be located: 1. Beneath the structure floor. 2. Inside the outer girders or beams or within a cell, and 3. At an elevation above low superstructure steel or masonry which would not inhibit bridge inspections or repairs. A utility facility may be located within the structure s deck for new construction or deck reconstruction projects if the utility notifies the town in advance of or while the structure is being designed. PAGE 24-OF 43 C. INSTALLATION OPENINGS The openings created in the bridge abutments to allow passage of the permitted facility shall be of the minimum size necessary. 1. The opening in the abutment around the permitted facility shall be completely filled to seal the opening and effectively preclude the leakage of any moisture or backfill material through the abutment. 2. If the utility sleeves the facility through the abutment, the sleeve shall be tight sealed into the abutment. Any space between the sleeve and the facility it encloses shall be sealed. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS A. PERMIT AT JOB SITE When a permit is required, a complete copy of the permit shall be in possession of the utility work forces, or the contract forces under utility control, at all times when utility work is being performed within the right-of-way. B. USE OF ROADWAY MEDIAN Any use of a roadway median is prohibited unless specifically authorized by a permit. C. USE OF TEMPORARY GUARD POLES No guard pole shall be set within the right-of-way unless specifically authorized by the permit. By definition, a guard pole is used to prevent aerial lines from falling onto the traveled way. Any guard poles permitted in the clear zone shall comply with Location Requirements of this policy. D. UNEXPECTED FIELD CONDITIONS Any modification of the terms of the approved permit to meet changed or unexpected field conditions shall require prior approval from the town. Page 25-of 43 E. BLASTING Any blasting on the right-of-way is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the permit. F. VEGETATION No tree or shrub shall be cut, trimmed, or damaged to facilitate the installation of a newly permitted facility unless specifically authorized by the permit. When the removal of a tree is permitted, the stump shall be removed and the hole properly backfilled or cut flush with the ground upon approval from the town. G. SURVEY MARKERS No town survey (e.g. right-of-way marker, benchmark, etc.) marker shall be disturbed unless prior approval has been obtained from the town. In addition, other survey markers (e.g. USGS, County, etc) located in town right-of-way shall not be disturbed unless prior approval is obtained from their owner(s). Any town survey marker that is disturbed, removed, or destroyed shall be restored by the town at the expense of the permit tee. (Reference: sec 236.32, Stats.) No U.S. government section corners may be disturbed without notifying the county surveyor s office. Any private survey corners disturbed that are documented by recorded survey will be restored by registered surveyor at the utility s expense. H. COMPLETION NOTICE Upon completion of permitted work and restorations, written notice shall be filed within 10 calendar days with the town. The clerk will issue acceptance or rejection of the work within 10 working days of the completion notice. Failure by the town to respond will constitute acceptance of the installation. This is contingent on the Utility s ability to provide proof of the town s receipt of the completion notice. FAX message confirmation is acceptable proof of receipt. Page 26-of 43 TRAFFIC CONTROL A. AUTHORITY All utility work performed on town road(s) or private road(s) shall abide by: 1. The current Wisconsin Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and any supplements thereto. The standards set forth in the Wisconsin MUTCD are minimum guidelines, and additional traffic control shall be used when necessary. B. GENERAL POLICY No utility work shall begin until all required warning signs, devices, and methods adequate to protect the public are in place and fully functional. These shall be maintained until all of the utility work is completed. All warning signs shall be reflectorized. In addition, all warning signs shall be removed, covered, turned, or laid flat when workers or workers vehicles are not at the jobsite/or when the signs messages are not relevant. All utility work shall be planned and prosecuted with full regard for safety and to keep interference with roadway traffic to a minimum. On heavily traveled roadway, utility work interfering with traffic should not be allowed during periods of peak traffic flow. Any such work allowed shall be planned so that closure of intersecting street, road approaches, or other access points is minimized. All operations shall be performed without obstructing or closing all or any part of any roadway traffic lanes unless it is approved by the town and proper traffic control is specified. All barricades, barrels, and cones used as traffic control devices during nighttime operations shall be, at a minimum, reflectorized with orange Type H reflective sheeting as defined in the current edition of the department s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Page 27-of 43 C. TRAFFIC CONTROL SELECTION 1. Long Term Duration All stationary daytime utility work which takes longer than 15 minutes to perform shall utilize the six traffic control diagrams. The town shall require a more extensive traffic control plan if any of the following situations occur: a. Utility work performed during nighttime hours. b. Traffic control which is required overnight to protect the work zone(s) during non-work times. c. Utility work performed in a continuously moving work zone. This excludes moving from one stationary work zone to another. d. Utility work which cannot be adequately protected by using the six traffic control diagrams (e.g. at or near intersections). 2. SHORT TERM DURATION Daytime utility work that will be completed in 15 minutes or less usually will not require the use of a formal traffic control plan or the six traffic control diagrams. The utility is still responsible for providing traffic control adequate to protect public safety. WORK SITE SAFETY A. GENERAL POLICY The utility is responsible to assure that the work site is secure against any hazard to the public at all times until all of the work is completed. Vehicles, equipment and materials which are in active use at the work site shall be regulated the utility as to assure consistently safe conditions. Sheeting, shoring, bulk heading and temporary or permanent concrete barrier, etc., may be ordered by the town if considered necessary to protect the roadway and traveling public. Page 28-of 43 B. EQUIPMENT\MATERIAL STORAGE Utility hardware or equipment which is located at the work site but not in immediate (same day) use should be stored beyond the clear zone and near the right-of-way line. C. VEHICLE\EQUIPMENT VISIBILITY Vehicles and equipment shall have their high intensity flashing (strobe or revolving) and hazard warning lights operating when they are within the clear zone during work operations. D. INDIVIDUAL CONDUCT All town, county, utility, and contractor personnel who are out of their vehicle and within the right-of-way should wear retro-reflective safety vests at all times. During daytime hours only, the use of a highly visible, non-reflectorized shirt or jacket is acceptable in lieu of a safety vest. Colors commonly used for these garments include, but are not limited to, orange, lime-green, and yellow-green. Page 29-of 43 SPECIAL PROVISIONS A. TRENCHED CONSTRUCTION Trenched Construction and backfill shall provide for the: 1. Restoration of the structural integrity of the roadway facility (see appendix). 2. Security of the facility against deformation likely to cause leakage. 3. Assurance against the trench entrapping excessive moisture or becoming a drainage channel, and 4. Assurance against roadway drainage being blocked by the backfill. When necessary, trenches shall be backfilled with pervious material and necessary outlets shall be provided to prevent entrapment of water. The utility installation shall conform to the Wisconsin Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, current edition, for earthwork, culverts or other utility work within the right-of-way. The town may require that backfill and repaving be performed by its forces or under its direction at the expense of the utility. B. UNTRENCHED CONSTRUCTION Untrenched construction shall be required for all underground utility crossings of all roadways which have a paved surface and are open to traffic unless specifically authorized in the permit. Untrenched installation of utility facilities may be accomplished by tunneling, driving, coring and/or dry boring. Wet boring within the road shall be prohibited unless specifically authorized in the permit. Page 30-of 43 Boring shall result in a close fit to the facility being installed. Untrenched construction shall, as a minimum, extend beneath the entire roadway prism (from toe of inslope to toe of inslope or from back of curb to back of curb). Ground opening or pits for such work should be located outside of the clear zone and shall not interfere with roadway drainage. When specifically authorized by the town, the extent of the entrenched crossings may be reduced or eliminated where such construction methods are impractical or physically restricted by terrain. C. NON-METALIC LINES Any non-metallic pipe, cable, or other kind of utility line which lacks a continuous and integral metallic component capable of detection by locating instruments shall be accompanied in its location by a continuous detectable metallic tracer wire or a metallic tape. D. CASING When crossings by underground lines are encased in protective conduit or duct, the encasement shall extend at least to the toe of the slope or ditch lines. On curbed sections, it shall extend at least outside the outer curbs. CLEANUP AND RESTORATION A. WORK SITE CLEANUP All debris, refuse, and waste resulting from the utility s activities shall be removed from the site and motorists view unless otherwise provided by the permit. Burning of cuttings, brush, or other debris shall not be permitted within the limits of the right-of-way. All replaced poles shall be completely removed from the roadway. No replaced pole shall be allowed to remain, in whole or in part, and it shall not be sawed off, The pole shall be properly backfilled and compacted. All anchor rods shall be removed or cut off one foot below ground level. Page 31-of 43 B. RESTORATION OF ROADWAY The utility shall be responsible for prompt restoration of the roadway. Any curb, gutter, pavement, sidewalk, driveway, gravel base, ballast, shouldering material, or other element of the roadway disturbed by the permitted works shall be restored in kind to the qualities, grades, compactions and conditions at least equal to those prevailing prior to the permitted work operations and in a manner satisfactory to the town Section 96.95 of the appendix shall be used as guide for backfilling excavation operations. Failure of the utility to make prompt and satisfactory restorations of the roadway may be cause for the town to arrange for restoration by others at the utility s expense. Any subsequent heaving, settlings, or other faulting attributable to the permitted works shall be repaired in a manner satisfactory to the town at the utility s expense. Any turf areas of the roadway disturbed by the permitted works and operations shall be restored with topsoil having a depth of not less than four inches, and reseeded to perennial grass, or sodded to the satisfaction of the town. The restoration shall be performed within one week after completion of the facility installation. Exceptions may be allowed (e.g. in the case of bad weather) with prior approval from the town. If, in the opinion of the town the permitted works or facilities are found to obstruct roadway drainage, unduly increase the difficulty of roadway maintenance, or in any other manner adversely affect a roadway interest, the utility shall, upon notice, cure the fault as directed and restore the roadway facility to the satisfaction of the town. Page 32-of 43 COMMUNICATIONS A. STANDARDS The minimum standards for design, construction and operation of the utility facilities shall be those embodied in the Wisconsin Administrative Code for each of the various utilities and phases of utility activities covered therein.
