## Document text

PSC 135.015 Interference with gas pipeline facilities.

(1) A gas pipeline operator having any work upon, over, along, or under any public street, highway or private property near existing gas pipeline facilities shall give reasonable notice to another public utility or operator and shall exercise care when working in close proximity to such existing facilities. Sections 66.0831 and 182.0175, Stats., shall be observed where applicable. In all other cases such notice shall provide another public utility or operator with a reasonable opportunity to protect or alter its facilities and such work shall not proceed without an agreement concerning the location and nature of the proposed work.

(2) Nothing in sub. (1) shall prevent a gas pipeline operator from proceeding as quickly as possible with any emergency construction work which might interfere with existing facilities.

  "category": "pipeline-safety",
  "currentThrough": "2026-08-01",
  "currentnessBasis": "Official publisher states the entire administrative code is current and updated on the first day of each month.",
  "legalScope": "This completeness-verified corpus contains every current section of Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapters PSC 133, 134, and 135, plus complete Wis. Stat. §§ 196.745 and 182.0175. Chapter PSC 135 is the dedicated gas-safety chapter. Chapters PSC 133 and 134 are included because the Wisconsin PSC identifies all three chapters as requirements used in pipeline-safety inspections; they also contain broader construction, siting, utility-service, billing, metering, and customer provisions.",
  "applicabilityCaveat": "Applicability depends on Wisconsin PSC jurisdiction, operator and facility type, intrastate or interstate status, gas-public-utility status, project thresholds, activity, exemptions, waivers, Commission orders, federal preemption, and the specific provision. Wis. Stat. § 196.745 excludes propane distribution systems from the PSC pipeline-safety program, while the one-call law reaches transmission facilities beyond natural-gas pipelines.",
  "incorporationCaveat": "Chapter PSC 135 adopts and supplements federal minimum pipeline-safety standards, principally 49 CFR Parts 191, 192, 193, and 199. The source also cites statutes, administrative rules, Commission forms and orders, and private technical standards. References are retained as metadata; incorporated material is not reproduced and its edition, legal effect, and licensing must be verified at the referenced source.",
  "rightsCaveat": "Official Wisconsin Legislature and Public Service Commission text is preserved with attribution and source hashes. Public availability does not establish a blanket license for site presentation, agency marks, annotations, forms, or incorporated federal and privately authored standards; downstream redistribution requires separate rights review.",
