(a) Utility permits are required only for section-line rights-of-way presently used or proposed for use by the department.

(b) Before issuing a permit for the installation of a utility facility within a section-line right-of-way, the department must be satisfied that a section-line right-of-way exists at the location where the facility is proposed to be installed by the permit applicant. The permit applicant shall furnish proof of the existence of the section-line right-of-way.

(c) An applicant that is granted a permit for the installation of a utility facility within a department section-line right-of-way shall coordinate the installation of the facility with any proposed department project using the section-line right-of-way.

(d) The permittee shall provide one copy of each permit for the installation of any utility facility within a department-controlled section-line right-of-way to the Department of Natural Resources.

(e) The department will immediately submit written notice to the Department of Natural Resources if a section-line permit application is denied.
