a. If the corporation shall find it necessary to change the location of any portion of any public highway, it shall cause the same to be reconstructed at such location as the corporation shall deem most favorable and of substantially the same type and in as good condition as the original highway. The cost of such reconstruction and any damage incurred in changing the location of any such highway shall be ascertained and paid by the corporation as a part of the cost of such marine terminal.
b. Any public highway affected by the construction of any marine terminal may be vacated or relocated by the corporation in the manner now provided by law for the vacation or relocation of public roads, and any damages awarded on account thereof shall be paid by the corporation as a part of the cost of such terminal.
c. In addition to the foregoing powers the corporation and its authorized agents and employees may enter upon any lands, waters and premises in the State for the purpose of making surveys, soundings, drillings and examinations as it may deem necessary or convenient for the purposes of this act, and such entry shall not be deemed a trespass, nor shall an entry for such purpose be deemed an entry under any condemnation proceedings which may be then pending. The corporation shall make reimbursement for any actual damages resulting to such lands, waters and premises as a result of such activities.
d. The corporation shall also have power to make reasonable regulations for the installation, construction, maintenance, repair, renewal, relocation and removal of tracks, pipes, mains, conduits, cables, wires, towers, poles and other equipment and appliances (herein called “public utility facilities”) of any public utility as defined in section 48:2-13 of the Revised Statutes, in, on, along, over or under any marine terminal. Whenever the corporation shall determine that it is necessary that any such public utility facilities which now are, or hereafter may be, located in, on, along, over or under any marine terminal shall be relocated in such terminal, or should be removed from such terminal, the public utility owning or operating such facilities shall relocate or remove the same in accordance with the order of the corporation 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, shall be ascertained and paid by the corporation as a part of the cost of such marine terminal. 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 appurtenance, in the new location or new locations, 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 or locations.
