Wis. Admin. Code Public Service Commission § PSC 132.06 - Notification of construction; emergencies; repair and maintenance

(1) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, a railroad or public utility shall, at its own expense, notify the other of emergencies, planned repair and construction or similar operations within a railroad right-of-way if the operation may affect the other. Except for emergencies, initial notification of intent to construct shall be made not less than 21 days before construction and notification of actual construction shall be made not less than 3 working days before construction begins.
(2) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, a railroad or public utility shall establish, at its own expense, a mechanism for receiving notification of emergencies 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. For every public utility facility located within a railroad right-of-way, each shall inform the other of an emergency telephone number, the name of a person responsible for processing the notification and any other information necessary for dealing with an emergency situation.
(3) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, a railroad or public utility shall each repair and maintain its own property or facilities located within a railroad right-of-way and may not perform regular or emergency maintenance or repair of the other's property or facilities.
(4) Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, a public utility shall relocate its facilities within a railroad right-of-way if the relocation is reasonably necessary for railroad operations. The relocation expenses shall be paid by the utility unless the facilities to be relocated serve only the railroad.
(5) In meeting notification and response responsibilities under this section, a railroad or public utility shall comply with ss. 66.0831 and 182.0175, Stats., applicable federal law, and orders and rules of the commission.
