UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION
,.. � INSTALLATION PLAN
AVAILABILITY
Normally, the Company's distribution and service facilities are installed above-ground on poles, towers, or other
fixtures. At the request of an owner (including builders, developers, contractors and customers), the Company will
install,own and maintain underground facilities under the terms and conditions of this Plan.
At the determination of the Company,in those areas where it is physically or economically infeasible, or impractical,
to place facilities above-ground due to structural or geographical congestion or load density,the Company may place
its facilities underground at its own option and expense.
DEFINITIONS
The term "overhead facilities" as used in this Plan, means an electrical distribution system having all components
installed above ground level.
The term"underground facilities" as used in this Plan,means an electrical distribution system having some, or all,
components installed below ground level
A"bulk feeder"is a conductor system transporting the total electrical requirements of a large area from a substation
or other supply point into such an area, which may consist of several residential developments and other loads. A
"subfeeder"is a conductor system branching off of the bulk feeder to supply the requirements of a certain portion of
the area The subfeeder may terminate in a given development,but the bulk feeder may,or may not,pass through the
development to serve adjacent areas.
A"primary voltage loop system"of conductors provides multiple supply routes to more than one transformer serving
the load requirements. A "primary voltage radial extension" of underground facilities consists of a single supply `Y
route to a single transformer serving the load requirements.
"Secondary facilities"consist of equipment necessary to provide secondary voltage from the Company's transformer
to the owner's delivery point."Primary facilities"consist of equipment,including transformation, to supply primary
voltage into the owner's property or development.
"Cost difference"is the amount by which the estimated cost of underground facilities exceeds the estimated cost of
comparable overhead facilities,but not less than zero.
"Loss due to early retirement"is the original cost of the facilities involved,less accrued depreciation, less salvage,
plus the cost of removal.

CONVERSION TO UNDERGROUND
The Company will replace an existing overhead distribution system with an underground system in an existing
residential development or other area under the following terms and conditions:
1. The Company shall place facilities underground by an agreement with the requesting persons which provides for
payment of a nonrefundable,contribution-in-aid-of-construction as follows:
a.When the existing overhead distribution system is not adequate to supply the customer's load due to added
electrical load,the contribution in aid of construction shall be equal to the cost difference between comparable
overhead and underground facilities.
b.When the existing overhead distribution system is adequate to supply the customer's load,the contribution in
aid of construction shall be equal to the cost of comparable underground facilities, less any salvage value of
the overhead system.
(Over) (Page 2 of 4)
(Underground Distribution Installation PlanjNC&SC)Continued) g
2. Preliminary engineering studies are necessary to determine the approximate costs of replacing overhead with
underground facilities. Persons requesting replacement of such facilities shall pay,prior to commencement of
such studies by the Company, a good faith, nonrefundable deposit in an amount of$100 for each 600 feet of
front lot lines for residential development studies,and,for studies of all other service areas,the estimated cost of
the preliminary engineering study.If the replacement is undertaken following completion of such studies,actual
costs,including preliminary engineering studies,will be charged and credit will be given for the estimated costs,
or deposit,which was advanced.
3. The Company need not replace existing overhead systems with underground facilities,except individual services
from pole to residence,unless at least one block or 600 feet of front lot line is involved,whichever is less.
4. All customers served directly from the specific section of line or in the area to be replaced with underground
facilities shall agree to the conditions outlined for replacement of overhead facilities.
5 Owners shall arrangge the wiring of their structures to receive underground service at meter locations which allow
unimpeded installation of the underground service facilities.
ESTIIAATES
Estimates of the cost of the underground and overhead facilities for the purpose of determining the amount of the
contribution-in-aid-of-construction will be in accord with the Company's current construction design practices and
shall be based upon the equivalent conductor and transformer capacity required for the electrical load specified by the
owner.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. Facilities associated with an underground distribution system, other than the conductors,may be installed above
or below ground level as determined solely by the Company in accord with•the current construction design
practices of the Company.
2. The Company will normally not provide underground service at secondary voltages above 480 volts. a..
3. The Company will provide service to a single transformer using a loop system design at the request of the owner
who desires to have a loop system installed and makes a payment equal to the estimated cost of the additional
"? facilities in excess of the radial extension facilities.
�== 4. Existing overhead distribution bulk feeders will remain installed overhead unless the owner desires to have them
installed underground. New bulk feeders necessary to serve a new underground residential subdivision will be
installed overhead unless the owner desires to have them installed underground,and makes a contribution-in-aid-
of-construction equal to the estimated cost difference between underground and overhead facilities. If it is
necessary to extend a distribution bulk feeder through an existing underground residential development,it will be
installed underground at Company expense.
5. New subfeeders necessary to serve a new underground subdivision or development will be installed underground
inside such areas at no charge.New subfeeders outside such areas normally will be installed overhead,unless the
owner desires to have them installed underground and makes a payment equal to the estimated cost difference.
6. Developments shall be divided into established and defined lots.For purposes of determining service categories,
the average size of lots shall be expressed in square feet.
7. Prior to the installation of the underground distribution system by the Company, the final grade levels of the
building sites shall be established by the owner.The building construction program shall be coordinated with the
installation of underground electrical facilities to permit unimpeded access of the Company's equipment to the
installation sites;to allow installation of underground facilities at proper depth and before streets,curbs or other
obstructions are installed; and to eliminate dig-ins to the underground electrical facilities after installation.
Should streets, curbs or other obstructions be present prior to installation of underground facilities,resulting in
additional expense to the Company,payment for these additional expenses shall be made to the Company by the
owner. Should established lots or final grade levels change after installation of underground electrical facilities
has begun, or if installation of electrical facilities is required by the owner before final grades are established,
and either of these conditions results in additional expenses to the Company, payment for these additional -
expenses shall be made to the Company by the owner.
8. Should existing sidewalks, septic tank systems, fuel tanks, other utility line, or other man-made obstructions
result in additional expenses to the Company,payment for same will be made by the owner.
9. Actual costs brought about in connection with the compliance of special requirements, if any, of
municipalities, State and Federal highway agencies or departments regarding the breaking of pavement,
ditching backfilling,and other related conditions,will be paid by the owner.
(Over) (Page 3 of 4)
(Underground Distribution Installation Plan(MC&SC)Continued) 9
10. The Company will make, or adjust,charges to the owner to collect the actual additional costs to the Company
due to adverse conditions, such as: the composition of the land where the underground facilities are to be
installed is such that standard construction equipment cannot be used to complete the installation; or, special
equipment and materials are needed for stream crossing structures or concrete structures; or, dynamite is "..
required; or,if abrupt changes in final grade levels exceed a slope ratio of 1 when measured within three feet of
the trench.
11 The Company's agreement to provide underground service is dependent upon the securing of all necessary
rights, easements,rights-of-way,privileges,franchises oe permits for the installation of such service from those
requesting the underground facilities. The Company shall exercise care in the utilization of its underground
equipment during construction,but the ultimate responsibility for the protection of shrubs, trees, and grass sod
will be with the owner. Shrubs,trees,or any other obstacle shall not be placed within ten feet of transformer or
cabinet openings which would hinder the access of the Company at any time.
12. Temporary service will not be available in the area served from underground facilities until the underground
system is in place unless the owner elects to pay the "in and out" costs of temporary facilities necessary to
deliver the temporary service from overhead distribution lines. After the underground facilities are in place,
temporary service may be provided for no charge only at a transformer or pedestal location.
13. Underground conductors to provide service to Company-owned outdoor lighting will be furnished under the
applicable rate schedule on file with and approved by the Commission.
14. The Company will provide and coordinate underground service facilities with other requested facilities which are
supplied under the Extra Facilities provision of the Company's Service Regulations.
