PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE:
Duke Energy has requested the creation and implementation of a General Annual Permit to replace the need for Right-of-Way Utilization and Maintenance of Traffic permits for general maintenance and upkeep projects in the County’s right-of-way.
The Development Engineering Division reviews and issues numerous permits for routine construction, operations, maintenance, renewals, and removal projects performed by Duke Energy. The high volume of permits can be replaced with this general permit to save time for Orange County and Duke Energy. Any new infrastructure projects, after hours work, or complex road closures will require a separate permit.
The agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney’s Office and Risk Management. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 407-836-7904.
