A
person engaged in excavation or demolition may expressly waive the right
to notification from the owner or operator of underground utility
facilities or CATS facilities that the owner or operator has no
facilities located in the proposed excavation or demolition area. Waiver
of notice is only permissible in the case of regular or nonemergency
locate requests.
Understanding the Call Back Waiver
When an excavator submits a locate request they must indicate if they would like
to waive their right to by notified by the JULIE member companies involved in
their request.
If the
excavator replies "Yes" this excuses only
the JULIE member companies who have no facilities in the immediate area from
notifying the excavator of this fact.
If the excavator replies
"No" this means that each JULIE member company is obligated to:
Notify the excavator that they do not have any facilities in the proposed excavation area; orMark the approximate location of their facilities within the 48 hour (2 working day) period.
