Responsibilities Of The Facility Operator.
After receiving and screening the locate request, each underground
facility operator
will mark, in a reasonable manner, the location of the exterior
edges of
their facilities in the field in order to enable the excavator to easily recognize the location and size of buried facilities. Underground facilities marks will reflect the identity of the operator so
the excavator
is knowledgeable of the facility operator and can make contact if
a question exists If
a site visit is made, and the operator has no underground facilities in
conflict with
the excavation area, the operator shall mark in the excavation area “
NO” followed
by the operator’s
name.
Responding to locates can not exceed 48hrs. From the initial request.Slide9
