There are a number of ways in which operators can be more restrictive during first time use of ECDA. Operators must apply more restrictive criteria in each phase of ECDA (i.e., pre-assessment, indirect examination and direct examination). Examples of more restrictive criteria that could be used include but are not limited to: Pre-assessment • Subdividing ECDA regions into more ECDA regions, which requires additional excavations • Perform test holes to improve the quality of or validate data specified in Table 1 of the NACE ECDA Standard. • Require a “preassessment meeting” with maintenance crews be held to “data mine” their experiences of working on the pipeline. • Pre-marking the pipeline to enhance data integration such as putting flags or paint dots every 5′ all along the pipeline Indirect examination • For paved areas, direct contact with the subsurface soil (by boring through the pavement) to ensure readings obtained are viable. • Use an additional tool, three instead of two for p
