Transmission Relocation Survey Specifications

Three surveys will be required to process your request. Your initial application should include a certified boundary survey including all of the information listed below. Once your application has been approved, certified surveys/sketch and descriptions will be required to finalize your request.

A. Your certified boundary survey should depict the parent tract, the current transmission right of way, the proposed transmission right of way, adjacent road right of way and any lands in the right of way subject to a city or county dedication, if applicable. Please include the following on your survey:

• Show the Duke Energy right of way and dimension its width. (Current and Proposed)
• All Progress Energy facilities (poles, guy wires, access roads, etc). Show the type of structure(s), for example, wood or concrete pole(s), lattice tower, H-frame, etc.
• Show the centerline of the transmission structures.
• Label each Duke Energy structure with its structure number. All Duke Energy transmission structure numbers are located on the pole or on one the legs of the towers. The numbers are usually located chest high and have a letter and number designation. For example: ANL-67. (If no number is visible, please get the number from the nearest structure.)
• Existing utilities and improvements. Show the distance from existing or proposed improvements to the easement area and structures.
• Show the Section, Township, Range and County.
• Show a North arrow.

B. The following surveys will be required once your request has been approved and a Duke Energy engineer has determined the width of the new easement area:

• A certified sketch and metes & bounds description of the existing easement area to be released.
• A certified sketch and metes & bounds description of the proposed easement area for the new transmission right of way.

All sketch and descriptions should be prepared on 8½ x 11 inch or 8½ x 14 inch paper, suitable for recording and include a North arrow, Section, Township, Range and County.

If proposed improvements are located within the easement area, please refer to our Transmission Right of Way Use Guidelines for further instructions.
