The depths of pole setting given in Table 6 are applicable to wood poles set in firm soil or in solid rock. Where the soil is not firm, deeper settings or other special methods of pole setting should be used. Where unguyed poles are set subject to heavy strain, or at corners or curves, deeper settings or other special measures to prevent overturning or excessive movement of the pole at the ground line should be used. Where poles were set in firm soil, but the soil has since been excavated or subjected to minor ground erosion, the measure setting depth shall remain within 10% of the minimum values specified in Table 6, columns 2 and 3.

Metallic poles, prestressed concrete poles, or poles of other non–wood materials that are set directly in firm soil or rock shall be set at least as deep as specified in Table 6 for wood poles. Where the resultant bearing surface of these poles is not sufficient to prevent overturning or excessive movement of the pole at the ground line under maximum loading conditions, special measures such as heel and toe bracing, setting in concrete, bolting to a concrete foundation, or other special methods shall be

Where poles were set in firm soil, but the soil has since been excavated or subjected to minor ground erosion, the measure setting depth shall remain within 10% of the minimum embedment shall be no less than 90% of the values specified in Table 6, columns 2 and 3.
