Public utility easements may be modified on the initiative of the representative of the State in the department or at the request of persons or organisations entitled to request their establishment.
The draft amendment is examined, submitted for consultation and adopted according to the procedures defined in articles R. 1333-97 to R. 1333-99. However, modifications whose sole purpose is to remove or limit public utility easements may be exempted from the public enquiry.
The person responsible for the pollution, the owners of the polluted plots, the mayors of the municipalities concerned, the Nuclear Safety Authority and the Regional Health Agency are informed by the representative of the State in the department of any project to modify or remove these easements.
