Attention is called to the Commission's, requirements
						that all persons must secure encroachment permits (MND Forms) for utilities,
						driveways, grading, or any facility placed upon or charge made in the right of
						way and that all work in connection therewith must be in accordance with said
						permit.

Current through June 25, 2024
Applications for encroachment permits on state maintained
						highways are to be made to the District Office, which supervises the
						maintenance of the highway on which the permit site is located. Employees are
						to be headquartered at these offices responsible for providing assistance to
						the applicant in the preparation of the application in accordance with the
						requirements of the Commission's regulations, inspecting the site at which the
						proposed work is done, signing the application on the line indicating field
						inspection has been made and transmitting the application to the District
						Engineer with appropriate recommendation.

Current through June 25, 2024
In order to properly discharge their assigned duties, it
						will be necessary that all personnel handling encroachment permits be kept
						informed of the limits of all proposed or active projects programmed and the
						changes in programming as the project advances. A planned highway improvement
						will be considered as being a proposed or active project on/or after any phase
						of development of the highway project is programmed and will be considered
						active until the date of final acceptance by the State or Federal Highway
						Administration, when applicable. When an encroachment application is first
						field inspected, the inspector should know whether a project is programmed at
						that location and the programming stage. Properly informed personnel may enable
						savings to be made in adjustments of utilities being constructed shortly before
						the right of way acquisition stage or prior to the beginning of construction.
						Although the adjustment may not be at state expense, the utility may realize a
						saving by being properly informed. The utility owner may elect to defer
						construction until the project plans are completed. Applications for other
						items such as driveways, frontage roads, grading, drainage and others may be
						affected by programmed construction. It is recognized that situations will
						arise that require special attention and in these and all other instances,
						cooperation will be required between the District Engineer, Maintenance
						Division, Roadway Design Division, Right of Way Division (Utility Section),
						Traffic Engineering Division and Bridge Division as applicable to the specific
						permit details.

A permit is required for clearing and pruning of trees
						and other vegetation for construction of new utility lines and conform to the

						requirements hereinafter provided in this Rule. Additionally any such
						maintenance clearing and pruning may be performed without further permit,
						however the District Permit Officer shall be notified at least 24 hours in
						advance of work. A routine permit is required if the applicant is performing
						maintenance operations that require a closure within the limits of the roadway
						or shoulder of the highway. A Special Use Herbicide Permit, Form MND-759, and
						Herbicide Management Plan, Form MND-760 is required for any chemical spraying
						and treatment used on the highway right of way, the details of which are
						outlined elsewhere in this Rule.

Current through June 25, 2024
Where extensive clearing or pruning appears to be
						necessary for a proposed new line the feasibility of relocating the line should
						be investigated by the District Engineer. Reasonable hand trenching may be
						required for underground lines in order to minimize clearing and pruning or for
						construction of the line at locations not accessible to machinery in order to
						avoid excessive clearing and pruning. In some cases, directional boring may be
						required to minimize clearing in dense wooded areas and heavily erodible soils
						in lieu of open trench methods.

						cut a certain height above the ground line, grinded, or grubbed as specified on
						the permit. All trees, brush, limbs and other debris must be removed from the
						right of way as clearing and pruning progresses within the same day of the
						operation. No clearing materials will be burned on the right of way. Any damage
						to slopes, shoulders or existing sod on the roadsides will be reshaped and/or
						repaired. The District Engineer or his/her designee will determine the
						requirements for establishing satisfactory ground cover when disturbed areas
						are involved.
