What it does
(1) Existing law, the Dig Safe Act of 2016, generally regulates excavations around subsurface installations, defined as any underground pipeline, conduit, duct, wire, or other structure, except nonpressurized sewerlines, nonpressurized storm drains, and other nonpressurized drain lines. The act requires an excavator to comply with specified notification and delineation requirements before starting an excavation. Existing law provides for the enforcement of the act by the California Underground Facilities Safe Excavation Board. Existing law defines the terms "legal excavation start date and time," "working day," and "subsurface installation" for purposes of the act.
