(Underground Distribution Installation Plan (NC & SC) Continued) <br />10. The Company will make, or adjust, charges to the owner to collect the actual additional costs to the Company <br />due to adverse conditions, such as: the composition of the land where the underground facilities are to be <br />installed is such that standard construction equipment cannot be used to complete the installation; or, special <br />equipment and materials are needed for stream crossing structures or concrete structures; or, dynamite is <br />required; or, if abrupt changes in final grade levels exceed a slope ratio of 1 when measured within three feet of <br />the trench. <br />I1 The Company's agreement to provide underground service is dependent upon the securing of all necessary <br />rights, easements, rights-of--way, privileges, franchises or permits for the installation of such service from those <br />requesting the underground facilities. The Company shall exercise care in the utilization of its underground <br />equipment during construction, but the ultimate responsibility for the protection of shrubs, trees, and grass sod <br />will be with the owner. Shrubs, trees, or any other obstacle shall not be placed within ten feet of transformer or <br />cabinet openings which would hinder the access of the Company at any time. <br />12. Temporary service will not be available in the area served from underground facilities until the underground <br />system is in place unless the owner elects to pay the "in and out" costs of temporary facilities necessary to <br />deliver the temporary service from overhead distribution lines. After the underground facilities are in place, <br />temporary service maybe provided for no charge only at a transformer or pedestal location. <br />13. Underground conductors to provide service to Company-owned outdoor lighting will be furnished under the <br />applicable rate schedule on file with and approved by the Commission. <br />14. The Company will provide and coordinate underground service facilities with other requested facilities which are <br />supplied under the Extra Facilities provision of the Company's Service Regulations. <br />Effective December 21, 1994 <br />NCUC Docket No. E-7, Sub 552 <br />Effective January 1, 1995 <br />SCPSC Docket No. 94-765-E <br />Order No. 94-1306 <br />(Page 4 of 4) <br />
