The Department may issue a single access permit to authorize all of these activities for the lot or site consistent with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 16:41 and this chapter.

(b) Other permits or approvals requiring application separate from an access permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be necessary for occupancy of the State highway ROW. These permits or approvals include, but are not limited to, those issued pursuant to: N.J.A.C. 16:25, Utility Accommodation; 16:27, Traffic Regulations and Standards for Traffic Control Devices; 16:41, Highway Occupancy Permits, for actions other than those referenced above; 16:41B, Newspaper Boxes on State Highway Right-of-Way; and 16:41C, Roadside Control and Outdoor Advertising.

(c) An access permit may be issued for construction of a driveway or street that requires the relocation of public or private utility facilities. Utility relocations shall be the responsibility of the lot or site owner and at the owner's expense. Should a utility have attached to it a State-owned facility connection, the Department will relocate the service connection at the lot or site owner's expense. Separate permits, as required by N.J.A.C. 16:41, shall be obtained by the utility company for utility relocations.
