They implement the appli- cable provisions of Section 1.23 and 1.27 of Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, and Section 116 of Title 23, United States Code, with respect to the maintenance obligations of the County thereunder as affected by the use of the rights-of-way of Federal - aid highway projects for accommodating utility facilities. They also implement the policies and procedures prescribed in the Bureau of Public Roads Policy and Procedure Memorandums 30-4.1, Accommoda- tion of Utilities, dated October 1, 1969 and 30-4, Utility Relocations and Adjustments, dated February 14, 1969, which are hereby adopted by this reference and three (3) copies of each are on file at the Office of the County Clerk. They are further established to regulate the location, design, and methods for the accommodation and installation of utility facili- ties on Federal Aid Secondary County Highways in the interest of safety and of protection, utilization and future development of the highways with due consideration given to public service afforded by adequate and economical utility installations. This ordinance further establishes the conditions governing the occupancy, use or reservation of utility facilities all to the end that the highway facilities shall be preserved. SECTION II. POLICY STATEMENT The County of Hawaii recognized the utilities, respective franchise to occupy the rights-of-way of Federal Aid Secondary County Highways in providing essential services and commodities to the public. Therefore, utility facilities may be accommodated in the Federal Aid Secondary County Highways rights-of-way provided that such use and occupancy does not interfere with the free and safe flow of traffic or otherwise impair the highway or its visual quality and does not conflict with the provi- sions of Federal, State or County laws or regulations or the provisions of this ordinance. SECTION III. APPLICATION This ordinance applies to new utility installations which are to cross or otherwise occupy the rights-of-way of active or completed Federal Aid Secondary County Highway projects. They also apply to existing utility facilities which are to be retained, relocated or adjusted within the rights-of-way of active Federal Aid Secondary County Highway projects. They shall not be applied to a minor segment of an existing utility installation in such a manner as to result in misalignment of the installation or adjustment of the entire installa- tion except in those cases where a hazardous condition exists. Where such hazardous condition exists, the County or other highway authority shall initiate appropriate corrective measures to provide a safe traffic environment. Where existing installations are to remain in the place - 1 - within the rights-of-way without adjustment, the County and utility shall enter into an agreement under Section V.D and IX, as may govern, or existing agreements in effect at the time of the highway construction may be accepted, or amended, as may be appropriate. The application of this ordinance on Federal Aid Secondary County Highways shall be limited to County highways within the designated Federal Aid Secondary County System which were previously improved with federal aid funds. Existing County highways within the designated Federal Aid Secondary County System which have not yet been improved with federal aid funds are exempt from the applicable provisions of this ordinance; however, it would be desirable to apply this ordinance on these highways.

A permit from the Department of Public Works, County of Hawaii, shall be required for the installation of any utility facility and private lines within the Federal Aid Secondary County Highways rights- of-way except where work is to be performed under a utility agreement in conjunction with a highway project. B. New utility installations shall not conflict with existing or planned uses of highway rights-of-way for highway purposes. Proposed utility installations and future highway projects shall be coordinated to avoid, to the fullest extent possible, any conflict in location, construction, or method of installation. C. The type and size of utility facilities and the manner and extent to which they are permitted within areas of scenic enhancement and natural beauty can materially alter the visual quality and view of highway roadsides and adjacent areas. Such areas include scenic strips, over -looks, rest areas, recreation areas, the rights-of-way of highways adjacent thereto, and the rights-of-way of highways which pass through public parks and historic sites, as described under Section 138, Title 23, U.S.C. MIM 1. New utility installations are not to be permitted within the foregoing described lands, when acquired or improved with Federal - aid funds, except as follows: a. New underground utility installations may be permitted where they do not require extensive removal or alteration of trees visible to the highway user or impair the visual quality of the lands being traversed. b. New aerial installations are to be avoided at such loca- tions unless there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of such lands by the aerial facility and it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer that: (i) Other locations: (a) Are not available or are unusually difficult and unreasonably costly, or (b) Are less desirable from the standpoint of visual quality, (ii) Undergrounding is not technically feasible or is unreasonably costly, and (iii) The proposed installation will be made at a loca- tion and will employ suitable designs and materials which give the greatest weight to the visual qualities of the area being traversed. Suitable designs will include, but are not limited to, self-supporting, armless, single -pole construction with vertical configuration of conductors and cable. 2. The provisions of this paragraph also apply to utility installa- tions that are needed for a highway purpose, such as for highway lighting, or to serve a weigh station, rest or recreational area. 3. There may be cases of unusual hardship or other extenuating circumstances encountered involving some degree of variance with the provisions of this paragraph. Such cases shall be subject to prior review and approval by the Chief Engineer. D. Where the utility has a compensable interest in the land occupied by its facilities and such land is to be jointly owned and used for highway and utility purposes, the responsible highway authority and utility shall agree in writing as to the obligations and responsibi- lities of each party. Such agreements shall incorporate the conditions of occupancy for each party, including the rights vested in the highway authority and the rights and privileges retained by the utility. In any event, the interest to be acquired by or vested in the highway authority in any portion of the rights-of-way of a Federal Aid Secondary County Highways project to be vacated, used or occupied by utilities or private lines shall be of a nature and extent adequate for the construc- tion, safe operation and maintenance of the highway project. E. Construction of the utility facility and restoration of any disturbed existing highway facilities within the Federal Aid Secondary County Highways right-of-way shall be done in accordance with all applicable sections of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, dated 1969, or any revision thereof, and the Specification - 6 - for Installation of Miscellaneous Improvements, within State Highways, dated November 1, 1966 or any revision thereof, of the State Highways Division.

F. Installation of private lines within the rights-of-way of Federal Aid Secondary County Highways shall be limited to crossings only. G. Any deviations from the provisions of this ordinance shall be subject to the approval of the Chief Engineer. SECTION VI. E_E_QUIREMENTS - FEDERAL AID SECONDARY COUNTY HIGHWAYS A. Upon the completion of a new Federal Aid Secondary County Highway including resurfacing projects, no underground utility installation with the exception of underground service connections and utility crossings by the boring, jacking or tunneling method, will be permitted for a period of one year thereof within the pavement, shoulder, swale or median areas. Within this one-year period, an underground utility and overhead pole line may be permitted to be installed outside the improved pavement, shoulder and swale areas adjacent to the right-of- way line provided that it does not restrict the highway use and meets the lateral clearance outlined in Section VI.B.1. In this connection, a utility shall make every effort to plan, coordinate and construct their installation including crossings in conjunction with the highway construction. A utility shall further give considerations to the construction of a joint utility tunnel with other utilities or sleeves as strategic locations to accommodate future utility crossings in con- junction with the highway construction. B. OVERHEAD UTILITY INSTALLATIONS 1. On active Federal Aid Secondary County Highway projects on new and existing alignment, utility poles, guys and other ground - mounted utility appurtenances may be installed, retained or relocated within the highway right-of-way and they may be located within 5 feet from the standard right-of-way line provided: a. In rural area, they are located at least 30 feet or more from the normal edge of traveled way. b. In cities, towns and urban areas, on curbed sections, they are located at least 6 feet back of the face or curb and in back of the sidewalk. See Exhibit "B". Where curbs are not provided, they shall be located at least 20 feet from the normal edge of the traveled way. Maps showing the boundaries of urban areas are on file at the Planning Department and the Department of Public Works. C. They are in compliance with the clear road -side policies for the particular highway involved and they are in accordance with Instructional Memoranda 21-6-66 dated August 1, 1966, 21-11-67 dated May 19, 1967, 30-6-67 dated May 2, 1967, 21-11-67 (1) dated June 29, 1967, 21-14-67 dated November 14, 1967, and 21-6-68 dated December - 7 - 23, 1968 of the Bureau of Public Roads, and the AASHO Highway and Operational Practices Related to Highway Safety dated February 1967, or any amendments thereto. Three (3) copies of each are on file at the Office of the County Clerk. d. Exceptions to the lateral clearances outlined above under Section VI.B.l.a., b, and c, may be'permitted provided such facilities are located behind guard rails, the top of cut banks, retaining walls, etc. See Table and Details for Pole Placement Criteria for Cut and Fill Sections, Exhibit °C°, MIT, IIE°, and "FI', which show the various slope ratios and the corresponding cut heights which are considered to be natural barriers. See Exhibit nBn also. 2. On previously constructed Federal Aid Secondary County High- ways projects, new utility poles, guys and other ground -mounted utility appurtenances connected therewith, other than replacements, shall be located as provided for in Section VI.B.1. above or at the right-of-way line. See Exhibit liG,T. a. Placement of mid -span and/or additional poles for the purpose of correcting sub -standard vertical clearances to conform with clearances set forth in the State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's Amended General Order No. 6 and any amendments thereto will be permitted. 3. Where the highway border areas are of a minimum width, considerations should be given to designs employing vertical align- ment of wires and cables, cantilevered crossarms, added insulation or any other similar designs permitted under State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's Amended General Order No. 6 and any amendments thereto. Where it is not possible to meet such clearances, considera- tion should be given to alternate utility locations or designs, such as rerouting the facilities or converting them from aerial to under- ground installations. 4. Where the lateral clearances outlined in Section VI.B.1. cannot be made, and the new utility poles, guys, and other ground - mounted appurtenances will constitute a serious and major hazard to traffic upon the determination of the Chief Engineer, guard rail protections shall be provided at the expense of the utility in accordance with current State standards and NCHRP Report 54. The County shall be responsible for the maintenance of these guard rails. Where existing utility facilities such as poles constitute a definite hazard to the traveling public, the County at its expense shall install protective guard rails to provide a safe traffic environment. The minimum lateral clearance between the face of pole and guard rail shall be 31-0TI. See Exhibit TFTI. Three (3) copies of NCHRP Report 54 are on file at the Office of the County Clerk. 5. Utility poles may be permitted in the median of a divided highway provided they are located at least 30 feet from the edge of traveled way. 6. All new utility installations involving communication or electric power facilities shall comply with the State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's Amended General Order No. 6 and any amendments thereto. 7. Overhead lines shall have a vertical clearance above the highway of 18 feet or greater for telephone lines and 20 feet or greater for electric lines in accordance with State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's Amended General Order No. 6 and any amendments thereto. 8. The bottom of the housing of signal faces and warning flashers suspended over roadways shall not be less than 17 feet above the pavement grade of the center of the roadway. 9. Lighting standards shall not be permitted closer than 30 feet beyond the normal edge of traveled way unless the base of a breakaway design or they are located behind a guard rail, but not closer than 2 feet outside the edge of shoulder. See exceptions under Section VI.B.l.b. and VI.B.l.d. No standards shall be per- mitted in the shoulders. 10. Traffic signal standards shall not be permitted closer than 2 feet beyond the face or curb on curbed highways and/or 2 feet outside the edge of shoulder on uncurbed highways. C. UNDERGROUND UTILITY INSTALLATIONS 1. All utility installations involving pressure pipelines shall comply with the United States of America Standards (USAS) code for pressure piping B31.1.0, B31.4 and B31.8, American Stan- dards Association (ASA) code for pressure piping B31.1, and State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's General Order No. 10 and any amendments thereto. 2. All utility installations carrying flammable and combustible products shall meet the requirements of the State Fire Marshal, National Fire Code, State of Hawaii, Public Utilities Commission's General Order No. 9, and local County and State codes and require- ments and any amendments thereto. 3. The angle of utility crossing shall be generally normal to the highway and it shall not exceed 45 degrees from normal. 4. Longitudinally, utilities shall be located on uniform align- ment as near as practicable to the right-of-way line to provide space for future highway construction and for possible future utility installa- tions consistent with good engineering judgment and economic considera- tions. 5. In areas where the transverse slopes are gently rolling, cleared, graded and accessible to equipment, a utility shall be installed outside of the roadway cross-section (pavement, shoulder and cut or fill slopes). 6. In other areas where good engineering judgment and economic considerations indicate that it would not be practical to install the utility outside the roadway cross-section, (pavement, shoulder and cut or fill slopes) such as in high cut and fill sections not accessible to equipment, a utility, subject to the approval of the Highway Utility Encroachment Committee may be located within the shoulder and median (of a divided highway) areas as provided below: a. Shoulder Area. - 9 - (1) They shall be located as close to the outer edge of shoulder as possible. (2) In areas where the width of shoulder is eight (8) feet or less, no utility will be permitted to be located within the shoulder distance of two (2) feet from the normal edge of pavement to the inner edge of trench. See Exhibit ITHII. (3) In areas where the width of shoulder is more than eight (8) feet, no utility will be permitted to be located within the shoulder for a distance of five (5) feet from the normal edge of pavement to the inner edge of trench. See Exhibit 11H". In the event all available spaces on both shoulders are occupied, considera- tions may be given to permit a utility within the 5 -foot restricted area provided the 2 -foot strip as outlined under Section VI.C.6.a.(2) is not disturbed. b. Median Area. (1) They shall be located as far away from the edge of pavement and as close to the centerline of median as possible, but away from the median ditch. (2) In areas where the width of median is sixteen (16) feet or less, no utility will be permitted to be located within the median for a distance of two (2) feet from the normal edge of pave- ment to the inner edge of trench. See Exhibit "Pt. (3) In areas where the width of median is more than sixteen (16) feet, no utility will be permitted to be located within the median for a distance of five (5) feet from the normal edge of pavement to the inner edge of trench. See Exhibit "I". In the event all available spaces in the median are occupied, considerations may be given to permit a utility within the 5 -foot restricted area pro- vided the 2 -foot strip as outlined under Section VI.C.6.b. (2) is not disturbed. 7. Considerations will be given to the hydraulic gradient factor of a transmission main in determining the location of their occupancy within the highway right-of-way. 8. In heavily traveled highways, the Chief Engineer may require utility crossings under the roadway to be installed by boring, jacking or tunneling when ground conditions are ascertained to permit economic application of such installation technique. 9. Utility lines shall be encased or jacketed when deemed necessary by the Chief Engineer. Casing shall consist of a pipe or other separate structure around and outside of the carrier line or duct line and shall be designed to support the load of the highway and superimposed loads thereon, and shall equal or exceed structural requirements for drainage culverts. The casing shall be composed of materials of satisfactory durability under conditions to which they may be exposed. See Exhibit nAn for terminology for encasement and other protection. 10. All utility lines carrying flammable or explosive materials at a pressure greater than 65 PSIG within the roadway prism shall be provided protective measures as deemed necessary by the Highway Utility Encroachment Committee. - 10 - 11. A utility, including manholes, will generally not be per- mitted to be installed longitudinally within the pavement area of the main traveled way. However, in extreme cases where the entire rights-of-way excluding the pavement areas are fully occupied and the utility has explored other alternative alignment such as re- rounting the utility through county streets, considerations will be given to permit the utility to be installed within the pavement area of the main traveled way. 12. All manholes, handholes, etc., shall be flush with finished grade of roadway including pavement and shoulder. 13. Fire hydrants, and other ground -mounted utility appurtenances shall meet the lateral clearances outlined in Section VI.B.1, and Section VI.B.2. The hydrants shall be located so as to be conveniently accessible to fire fighting equipment and/or personnel. (a) Breakaway type fire hydrants may be left unprotected and delineated with RM -3 hazard markers. (b) Fire hydrants may be placed within a cut slope just above the ditch line. (c) In cities, towns and urban areas, on curbed sections, fire hydrants may be located back of the face of curb provided they are of the breakaway type. 14. No utility will be permitted in a highway drainage culvert. 15. The minimum depth of utility lines shall be as follows: (a) Pavement areas - minimum 3 feet from finished grade of pavement to top of pipe, sleeve or concrete jacket. See Exhibits nHn nln uJn and nKn, (b) Under ditches - minimum 2 feet, 1 foot if paved. (c) All other areas - minimum 3 -foot cover. (d) The Highway Utility Encroachment Committee may reduce the 3 -foot minimum clearance specified above to 2 feet if ground condi- tions are ascertained to be of rocky material, provided the utility lines do not encroach into the pavement structure. (e) The minimum cover of utility service lines under sidewalk areas and areas adjacent to the right-of-way (outside of shoulder and pavement areas) shall be 11-611. D.
