(1) After the owner responds with the
			 information specified in s.
			 84.063(2)
			 (b), Stats., the department shall mail the
			 owner at least one set of the available project plan. The project plan shall
			 show all existing utility facilities known to the department that are located
			 in the right of way where they will conflict with the improvement.
(2) The department may include a receipt of
			 mailing form. If a receipt of mailing form is sent, the owner shall complete
			 the form and mail it back to the department within 7 calendar days of
			 receipt.
(3) The project plan need
			 only show those portions of the improvement which give the project location,
			 the owner's existing utility facilities and how those facilities will be
			 affected by the improvement. The department will also provide any additional
			 and duplicate plan information needed by the owner to design and layout the
			 removal, relocation or adjustment of existing utility facilities and the
			 placement of relocated or additional facilities within the project
			 limits.
(4) The owner shall provide
			 the department with a work plan. The work plan shall be furnished within 60
			 calendar days after the date of mailing of the project plan by the department
			 for resurfacing projects; within 90 calendar days for minor reconditioning
			 projects; and within 120 calendar days for major reconditioning, reconstruction
			 or new construction projects. Upon owner request or its own initiative, when
			 the department determines there is a potential for conflict between work plans,
			 the department will schedule a meeting that the owners are required to attend
			 to coordinate the work. An additional 30 calendar days will be allowed to
			 furnish the work plan if coordination is required with other utility facility
			 owners or if the work is compensable.
(5) For noncompensable work, the work plan
			 shall include, in addition to the information required in s.
			 84.063(3)
			 (b), Stats., a narrative description of what
			 work will be done; whether the work is dependent on work by another owner;
			 whether the work will be done prior to highway construction and which work will
			 be necessary to coordinate with the work of the contractor; when the work will
			 be started and the length of time in working days required to complete the
			 work. A listing of approvals required by governmental agencies and the expected
			 time schedule to obtain those approvals shall be provided. The project plan
			 furnished by the department shall be reviewed by the owner to verify that the
			 owner's utility facilities are shown. If the facilities are not shown, the
			 owner shall mark their location and return the marked up project plan to the
			 department with a dated transmittal. If the utility facilities are shown, the
			 owner shall advise the department by mail and need not return the project plan.
			 For noncompensable work, the owner may also submit a request for a utility
			 alteration or relocation loan pursuant to s.
			 84.065,
			 Stats., and ch. Trans 30. If the owner's proposed relocated or additional
			 utility facilities will be relocated within the highway right-of-way, a permit
			 application may be submitted at the same time in accordance with "The Policy
			 for the Accommodation of Utilities Within Highway Right- of-Way" of the
			 department.

			 a schedule of working days necessary to obtain any approval required by a
			 governmental agency and to accomplish any proposed relocation or adjustment
