 RIGHT OF ONE PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION TO CROSS THE WORKS OF ANOTHER; COST (§
56-17)

If any public service corporation deems it necessary in the construction of its
works to cross the works of any other public service corporation, or if any
renewable generator as defined in § 56-614 deems it necessary to cross the
works of a public service corporation in the construction of distribution
facilities that are required to (i) connect a renewable energy facility that
generates electricity to the electric distribution grid, (ii) distribute steam
generated at a renewable energy facility, or (iii) distribute landfill gas, it
may do so; provided such crossing shall be so located, constructed, and operated
as not to impair, impede, or obstruct, in any material degree, the works and
operations of the railroad, canal, turnpike, or other works to be crossed; and
provided such crossing shall be supported by such permanent and proper
structures and fixtures, and shall be controlled by such customary and approved
appliances, methods, and regulations as will best secure the safe passage and
transportation of persons and property along such crossing, and will not be
injurious to the works of the company to be crossed. The cost of such crossings,
their appliances and apparatus, and of the repair and operation of the same,
shall be borne by the party desiring to make the crossing.
