What is the maximum amount of notice required for Dig Safe before digging?

7 days
30 days
14 days
15 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

The maximum amount of notice required for Dig Safe before beginning any digging is 30 days. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of all parties involved and to prevent damage to underground utilities. The 30-day notice period allows utility companies enough time to mark their lines and inform the digger of any potential hazards, which is crucial in avoiding accidents, service interruptions, and costly repairs. Timely notification facilitates the coordination necessary for safe excavation practices, thereby reducing the risk of strikes against buried utilities. Adhering to this protocol is essential for compliance with state law and reflects best practices within the excavation industry.
