Can I start excavating before the waiting period has expired if all utilities notified by the call center have given positive response?
• The law requires the excavator to not excavate until he has determined the location of all underground facilities in the proposed area of excavation. This determination is made by requesting locates and allowing the utility operators 2 working days to perform the locates. Once all operators that were notified by the call center have responded to the request by locating their facilities or providing an “all clear” Staff believes the excavator has satisfied his obligation under the law and can begin excavating.
