PSC 114.230 (title) under s. 13.92 (4) (b) 2., Stats., renum. (1) and (2) from PSC 114.230A and 114.230I under s. 13.92 (4) (b) 1., Stats., Register March 2015 No. 711; CR 18-007: am.

1. Where there are curbs: supporting structures, support arms, anchor guys, or equipment attached thereto, up to 4.6 m (15 ft) above the road surface shall be located a sufficient distance behind the curb to avoid contact by ordinary vehicles using and located on the traveled way. For a redirectional curb, such distance shall be not less than 150 mm (6 in) from the street side of the curb.

(a) Footnote 18 [NESC, Table 232-1, p. 101: metric; p. 105 feet] Change Footnote 18 to read as follows:

18For uncontrolled water flow areas, the surface area and clearances shall be based on the ordinary high water mark.

(b) Footnote 21 [NESC, Table 232-1, p. 102 metric; p. 106: feet] Change Footnote 21 to read as follows:

21Where the US Army Corps of Engineers, or the state, or surrogate thereof has issued a crossing permit, the greater clearances of that permit or this code shall govern.

25Water areas not suitable for sailboating include portions of meandering rivers, streams and canals where the widest width does not exceed 50 m (165 feet) within any unobstructed,1.6-km (1-mile) long segment that includes the crossing or where the width does not exceed 50 m (165 feet) within the surface area of any segment less than 1.6-km (1-mile) long on the line-crossing side of an overwater obstruction. All rivers, streams, canals and creeks as defined by the Wisconsin department of natural resources (DNR) which meet this definition are considered not suitable for sailing.

PSC 114.232 NoteException: Regardless of width, the clearance over a canal, river, or stream normally used to provide access for sailboats to a larger body of water shall be the same as that required for water areas suitable for sailboating on the larger body of water. This also applies where a sailboat may be transported across such water with its mast extended.

PSC 114.232(1)(d)(d) Footnote 25 [NESC, Table 232-1, p. 102: metric; p. 106: feet] (Addition) Add the reference to Footnote 25 in the NESC-2017 Table 232-1 (both the metric and feet sections) on to the sailboating category titles of rows 6 and 7. It applies to all clearances in those rows.

PSC 114.232(1)(e)(e) Footnote 27 [Follows NESC, Table 232-1 Footnote 26, p. 102: metric; p. 106: feet] (Addition) Following Footnote 26 for Table 232-1 (for both the metric and feet sections), add Footnote 27 which reads as follows:

27A diagonal clearance equal to the required vertical clearance shall be maintained to uneven or sloping terrain within a horizontal distance of 3/4 (75%) of the required vertical clearance. All distances shall be measured from the conductors in their wind-displaced position as defined in NESC Rule 234A2.

PSC 114.232(1)(f)(f) Footnote 27 [Follows NESC, Table 232-1 Footnote 26, p. 102: metric; p. 106: feet] (Addition) Add the reference to Footnote 27 in the Table 232-1 (both the metric and feet sections) to the conductor category titles of columns 3, 4 and 5. It applies to all clearances in those columns.

8Where the US Army Corps of Engineers, or the state, or surrogate thereof has issued a crossing permit, the greater clearances of that permit or this code shall govern.

3For controlled impoundments, the surface area and corresponding clearances shall be based upon the design high water mark. For other waters, the surface area and clearances shall be based on the ordinary high water mark. The clearance over rivers, streams, and canals shall be based upon the largest surface area of any 1.6-km-long (1 mi) segment which includes the crossing. The clearance over a canal, river or stream normally providing access for sailboats to a larger body of water shall be the same as that required for the larger body of water.

(a) Clearances. Unguarded or accessible wires, conductors, cables, or rigid live parts may be located adjacent to buildings, signs, billboards, chimneys, radio and television antenna, tanks, flagpoles and flags, banners and other installations and any projections therefrom. The vertical and horizontal clearances of such rigid and nonrigid parts shall be not less than the values in Table 234-1 when at rest under the conditions specified in Rule 234A1.These facilities may be installed beside, over or under buildings, building projections and other installation, as illustrated in Figs. 234-1(a) and 234-1(b) and 234-1(c). Buildings, signs, billboards, chimneys, radio and television antennas, tanks, flagpoles and flags, banners and other installations and any projections therefrom shall not be located near existing wires, conductors, cables or rigid live parts if doing so results in clearances less than the values given in Table 234-1.
