B. All new utility lines shall be located or constructed in the following order to the extent feasible; when determining that no feasible alternative location exists in these areas, the criteria in Section 23.60A.066 shall be used: 1. Outside the Shoreline District; 2. Within existing utility corridors or in public rights-of-way, including attaching to existing bridges; 3. In locations that minimize adverse impacts within the Shoreline District; and 4. Under water, subject to the provisions in subsection 23.60A.217.D, using methods that minimize impacts and assist in future repair and replacement, such as boring and sleeving, and constructed to prevent the pipe from leaking. C. New utility lines in areas where no such lines exist or the substantial expansion of existing utility lines shall be located as follows: 1. Underground to the extent reasonable or under water, except for lines carrying 115 kilovolts or more and for temporary relocation; 2. Overhead in the UI Environment and lines carrying 115 volts or more, except for temporary lines pursuant to subsection 23.60A.217.C.3, if the location and design minimizes visibility of the overhead utilities and preserves views of the water; or 3. Overhead installation of utility lines is allowed temporarily for a period of one year or less. D. Pipelines, except gravity sewers and storm drains and underwater pipelines, carrying materials intrinsically harmful or potentially injurious to aquatic life and/or water quality shall have shutoff facilities and use other appropriate best management practices to prevent and contain such materials from entering the water or the ground. E. Underwater pipelines, except gravity sewers and storm drains, carrying materials intrinsically harmful or potentially injurious to aquatic life and/or water quality shall have shutoff facilities at each end of the underwater segments. F. All disturbed areas shall be restored to pre-project configuration and shall be planted in compliance with Section 23.60A.190 . (Ord. 124750 , § 25, 2015; Ord. 124105 , § 3, 2013.)
