SURPLUS OUTAGE AND FARM WIRE IN HAZEN, ND

So the surplus here is packaged and specific. Sealed cartons of THHN, spools of control cable, instrumentation cable with the shield still intact, and grounding conductor cut long. Sellers in Hazen tend to know exactly what they have, which makes the review fast.

What comes back from a maintenance window

Partial spools are the norm. A control cable run that got shortened leaves 300 feet on a spool with the factory wrap still on it. That is easy to describe, and the spool label usually carries the conductor count and the gauge. A spool that never left the laydown yard is the best case, because the wrap is intact and the footage is exactly what the label claims. Say whether it came from a laydown yard or a rack inside the plant.

Cartons are even easier. If the carton was never opened, the label is the description. If it was opened for two coils, say two coils gone and give us the size, and the arithmetic is close enough. Opened cartons should be counted by coil rather than estimated by weight, since coil weights vary by size.

Farm and elevator wiring nearby

Outside the plant gate, the county runs on farm wire. Bin fans, augers, and dryer circuits take THHN and UF in short lengths, and submersible pump cable turns up in coils that were bought for one well and used for half of it. Pump cable pulled from a well should be described as pulled, because the jacket will have been rubbed against casing on the way out.

Farm material usually arrives loose in a truck bed. Bag it by type, keep the pump cable separate from the THHN, and note any cable that has been buried and dug back up, since that jacket tells a different story. Farm material that sat outside for years is still reviewable, but jacket condition belongs in the first sentence and not the last.
