(a) State law allows public utilities to be placed in highway rights-of-way. The Department shall grant permission when the owner completes and submits Form M-54 to the Department district office where the facility is to be installed. If the facility extends into more than one district, then Form M-54 shall be submitted to each district. The owner, not an agent, contractor, or consulting firm, shall execute the Form M-54. This form shall provide that the facility be constructed in a manner conforming with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The Department may also require accommodations to address local terrain, onsite materials, and traffic conditions.
(b) Facilities requiring periodic maintenance or inspection by work crews shall be placed outside the right-of-way and shall have a designated access point.
