Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 530 - ACCOMMODATION OF UTILITIES ON RIGHT-OF-WAY › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 530.10 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The purpose of
				this Part is to establish policies and procedures for accommodating utilities
				on right-of-way of the Illinois State Highway System, which will provide public
				benefit consistent with the preservation of the integrity, safe usage, and
				visual qualities of the State Highway System.
b) A decision regarding the accommodation of
				a utility at a particular location should be made consistent with sound
				engineering practices.
c) The
				Department's determination would include an evaluation of the direct and
				indirect environmental and economic effects of any loss of productive
				agricultural land which would result from the disapproval of the use of the
				right-of-way of a highway for the accommodation of such utility. Thus, while
				this Part provides standards for accommodating utilities on right-of-way of the
				Illinois State Highway System, under the jurisdiction of the Department, this
				Part is not a substitute for sound engineering judgment (See Section
				530.30,
				"Sound Engineering Judgment").
d)
				Because it is impossible to anticipate all future highway needs or proposals,
				the Department reserves the right to deny an application or to deviate from the
				standards of this Part if sound engineering reasons dictate such
				action.
e) This Part applies to all
				utility facilities on public highway right-of-way in which the Department has
				an interest, whether those facilities are permitted or not and whether those
				facilities were in place before or after the promulgation of this
				Part.
f) This Part supersedes the
				Department's Policy on the Accommodation of Utilities on Right-of-way of the
				Illinois State Highway System issued May, 1979 and all prior issues.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 530 - ACCOMMODATION OF UTILITIES ON RIGHT-OF-WAY › Subpart B - PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS › Section 530.120 - Fees or Assessments

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				Department charges no fees for the administration of the utility occupancy
				policy for conventional highways.
b) Compensation, based upon an appraisal by
				the Department of the fair market value of an easement or leasehold for such
				use of the highway right-of-way, will be charged for longitudinal utility
				accommodations located upon, under, or along fully access-controlled highways.
				Such compensation may include in-kind compensation. All fees may be reviewed
				once every five years and may be adjusted by the Department based on changes in
				the fair market value for the use of the highway right-of-way. The Department
				will charge reimbursement fees for engineering, legal, and other expenses
				incurred in evaluating applications and in establishing such
				compensation.
c) Charges will also
				be assessed for the attachment of utility facilities to bridge structures.
1) Assessment charges for utility attachments
				to highway structures are not intended to produce revenue. The charges are
				assessed to cover the cost of the engineering analysis required and as
				compensation for the addition of weight that reduces the available live-load
				capacity of existing bridges and enters into the cost of proposed new
				bridges.
2) The assessment charge
				for utility attachment is based on the ratio of the weight of the proposed
				utility elements to the live-load for which the structure was or will be
				designed. The factor arrived at from the foregoing ratio is applied against the
				cost of the load-bearing elements of the structure, including piers or
				abutments.
3) The minimum charge
				for any utility attachment to a highway structure will be $300.

a) Request for
				Variance
Requests for utility occupancies that would not conform to
				  this Part will be considered individually. Variance from this Part may be
				  granted where terrain features or other conditions such as an irregular
				  right-of-way line make compliance impractical or unreasonable. A variance will
				  not be granted when such action may tend to diminish the value of the highway
				  to the traveling public or to disadvantage unduly other (including future)
				  utility use.
b) Existing
				installations that met standards in force at the time of installation will be
				granted variances.
c) Review of
				Variances by Federal Highway Administration
This Part has the approval of the Regional Administrator of
				  the Federal Highway Administration insofar as federally-aided highways are
				  concerned. However, any proposed utility installation on federally-aided
				  highways that is not in compliance with the general provisions of this Part and
				  permits involving longitudinal installations of private lines, are subject to
				  review by the Federal Highway Administration.
d) Other variances. A variance from any other
				provision of this Part shall be granted if it is proved that no harm, cost, or
				inconvenience will result to the Deptartment, any highways under its
				jurisdiction, or the users of those highways.

				  utility installation may preclude following normal procedures for securing a
				  working permit, but the permittee must file in writing with the Department a
				  description of the repairs undertaken in the right-of-way within 48 hours after
				  the emergency repair.
1) Emergency
				maintenance in relation to utility installations on the interstate and
				conventional highway system will be considered as any immediate maintenance
				required to the utility installation for the safety of the traveling public or
				immediate maintenance required for the health and safety of the general public
				served by the utility.
2) If an
				emergency creates a hazard on the traveled portion of the roadway, immediate
				steps shall be taken by the utility company to provide all necessary protection
				for traffic on the highway including the use of signs, lights, barricades or
				flaggers. If a hazard does not exist on the traveled way, but the nature of the
				emergency is such as to require the parking on the shoulder of equipment
				required in repair operations, signs and lights shall be provided. Parking on
				the interstate shoulder in an emergency will only be permitted when no other
				means of access to the utility installation is available.
3) In an emergency, the utility company shall
				immediately notify the appropriate District Engineer or authorized agent of the
				emergency, informing the District Engineer as to what steps have been taken for
				protection of the traveling public and what will be required to make the
				necessary repairs. If the nature of the emergency is such as to interfere with

				  Department's District Office within 90 days after the completion of the
				  permitted work. If as-built plans deviate from the permit, such deviation shall
				  be identified and shall be treated as a request for variance in accordance with
				  Section
				  530.130.
				  If the Department does not reject the as-built plans within 90 days after their
				  receipt, they will be considered approved. If the Department disapproves the

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The permittee shall remove, relocate, or
				otherwise modify its facility, including the removal of bridge attachments, as
				specified by Section 9-113 of the Code, when required to do so in accordance
				with Sections
				530.810,
				530.820
				and
				530.830. Section 9-113 of
				the Code gives sole authority to the Department, and no other administrative
				agency or commission may review or overrule a permit-related decision or
				direction of the Department. The failure of a permittee to comply with the
				directions of the Department may cause the sanctions, set forth in Subpart H,
				to be imposed on it.
b) The
				Department may also give written notice that the permittee shall remove,
				relocate, or otherwise modify its facility.
1)
				If, within 60 days after receipt of such written notice, satisfactory
				arrangements are not made, the Department may undertake the requested actions
				itself and may bill the permittee for the total cost thereof.
2) Notice shall be considered to have been
				received if:
A) Either the Department
				receives from the U.S. Postal Service a signed return receipt or a notice that
				the permittee has refused to accept a notice by mail, or
B) The Department obtains such other reliable
				evidence of receipt as it may find to be appropriate. For example, the receipt
				of a hand-delivered notice might be evidenced by a statement by the messenger
				that the notice was delivered. A receipt from an express message service would
				also suffice.
3) If
				notice of receipt is not received within 10 days or the Department receives a
				notice of undeliverability, the notice shall be posted as a sign in a
				conspicuous place in the area of the permit. If, within 60 days after posting
				of such written notice as a sign, satisfactory arrangements are not made, the
				Department may undertake the requested actions itself and may bill the
				permittee for the total cost thereof.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
There may be times when the Department will incur delay or
				  other costs, including third party claims, because the permittee will not or
				  cannot perform its duties under its permit and this Part. Unless the permittee
				  shows that another allocation of the cost of undertaking the requested action
				  is appropriate, the permittee shall bear the Department's costs of damages and
				  its costs of installing, maintaining, modifying, relocating, or removing the
				  facility which is the subject of the permit. No other administrative agency or
				  commission may review or overrule a permit related cost apportionment of the
				  Department. The sanctions set forth in Subpart H may be imposed on a permittee
				  who does not pay the costs apportioned to it.
