ELECTRIC LINES (2017 Final Plan)
Existing electrical services supplying floating structures or occupying Corps property must meet the standards set by the current National Electrical Code. Licenses are not required for solar or other alternative electric systems that are contained entirely upon a permitted boat dock. Generally, outgrants will not be issued for new electric service to private floating facilities. Electric service for new floating facilities and those existing facilities without service must be supplied from a renewable energy alternative power source (e.g. solar or wind). This service must be installed and maintained to the standards established by the current National Electrical Code. Existing licensed electric lines providing service to private floating facilities will not be renewed after December 31, 2027. Prior to the issuance of a Shoreline Use Permit after December 31, 2027, overhead and underground electrical service must be removed and the area restored. Overhead electric requires the removal of all poles at ground level, all wire, and all associated equipment from public land. Underground electric requires disconnecting the wire from the source and removing all exposed conduit, wire, and associated equipment. Continued electric service must be provided by alternative power source. All electric service must be maintained in safe working condition and meet Corps standards (including license/easement and SMP conditions), meet all local and state codes, and meet all requirements of the National Electrical Code.
