§1736. Crossing other public utilities
If any waste facility or portion of any waste facility of any disposal district formed under this chapter crosses the property or line of any public utility, unless consent is given by the public utility as to place, manner and conditions of the crossing within 30 days after consent is requested by the district, the Public Utilities Commission shall determine the place, manner and conditions of the crossing. All work on the property of the public utility shall be done under the supervision and to the satisfaction of the public utility, but at the expense of the district. If any facility or portion of any facility of any disposal district crosses the property or line of any railroad corporation, the procedure shall be the same as set out in this section, except that the Department of Transportation shall be substituted for the Public Utilities Commission. Nothing in this section authorizes any disposal district to take by right of eminent domain any of the property or facilities of any public utility used, or acquired, for future use by the owner, in the performance of a public duty, unless expressly authorized by a special Act of the Legislature.   [PL 1983, c. 820, §2 (NEW).]
