AS 35.10.220. Relocation of Utility Facilities Incident to Public Facility Projects.

(a) If, incident to the construction of a public facility project, the department determines and orders that a utility facility located across, along, over, under, or within a state public facility must be changed, relocated, or removed, the utility owning or maintaining the facility shall change, relocate, or remove it in accordance with the order, within a reasonable time set by the department in the order.
(b) If the utility facility is not changed, relocated, or removed in accordance with the order, a permit authorizing the utility issued by the department under AS 35.10.210 becomes invalid and the facility will be considered an unauthorized encroachment subject to the provisions of AS 35.10.270 .
(c) The cost of change, relocation, or removal, as defined in AS 35.95.100, ordered under (a) of this section is to be paid as follows:

(1) by the department as a cost of public facility construction, if the utility facility is installed or authorized after June 11, 1986 under a utility permit or a regulation and is installed in the location specified in the permit;

(2) by the department as a cost of public facility construction, if the facility was installed before June 11, 1986 under a utility permit and is in the location specified in the permit;

(3) by the department as a cost of public facility construction, if the utility facility was installed before the location became a state public facility or before permits were required;

(4) by the department as a cost of public facility construction, if the utility permit that requires the utility to pay the relocation cost was issued more than five years before the contract for the public facility construction project was first advertised;

(5) by the utility in all other cases unless the commissioner finds it is in the public interest for the cost to be paid by the department.
