Chapter 6: Excavator

6.11 Excavation Area Details

Practice Statement:

The excavator provides to the 811 center basic attributes about the excavation area.

Practice Description:

The excavator provides details about the excavation area location, such as starting and ending points, the side of the property (north, south, east, west, front, back, rear, sides, etc.), and the side of the street. If the excavator cannot meet the above criteria, the excavator directly coordinates with the 811 center to establish the excavation area.
