- (a) Use and occupancy agreement forms are to be used when in connection with active highway projects an adjusted or relocated utility facility occupies part of the highway right-of-way or when a utility facility is retained within the highway right-of-way without adjustment unless the utility has a previously approved department use and occupancy agreement or approved notice form covering the right-of-way limits and which includes provisions for control of access when applicable. Such forms are used also when a utility has a prior property interest which is being retained within the highway right-of-way.
- (b) These forms shall include such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the right-of-way engineer to convey necessary information in order to protect and preserve the state highway system and the safety, health, and welfare of its use by the traveling public.
