New Jersey § 58:1b-8

§ 58:1b-8.

a. Upon the exercise of the power of eminent domain, the compensation to be paid thereunder

shall be ascertained and paid in the manner provided in P.L.1971, c. 361 ( C. 20:3-1 et seq. ). b. Whenever the authority shall determine that it is necessary that any public utility

facilities such as tracks, pipes, mains, conduits, cables, wires, towers, poles and

other equipment and appliances of any public utility, as defined in R.S. 48:2-13 , which are now, or hereafter may be, located in, on, along, over or under any project,

should be removed from such project, the public utility owning or operating such facilities

shall relocate or remove the same in accordance with the order of the authority;

provided, however, that the cost and expenses of such relocation or removal, including

the cost of installing such facilities in a new location or new locations, and the

cost of any lands, or any rights or interests in lands, and any other rights acquired

to accomplish such relocation or removal, less the cost of any lands or any rights

of the public utility paid to the public utility in connection with the relocation

or removal of such property, shall be ascertained and paid by the authority as a part

of the cost of such project. In case of any such relocation or removal of facilities, as aforesaid, the public

utility owning or operating the same, its successors or assigns, may maintain and

operate such facilities, with the necessary appurtenances, in the new location, for

as long a period, and upon the same terms and conditions, as it had the right to maintain

and operate such facilities in their former location.
