 Safe
digging starts when you contact JULIE. Whenever possible, it is very important to physically
visit the excavation site, become more familiar with the area, and white
line your project before submitting your locate request to JULIE. (See
White Lining in this section for details.)
At a minimum, be prepared to provide the following information regarding
your locate request:
 | Your name, address and phone number at which you and/or
a site contact can be reached and a fax and/or pager number. |
| County and city or county and unincorporated area of
township. |
| Location at which the excavation or demolition will
take place, which may include but not be limited to, address, cross
street, lot numbers, etc. In addition, JULIE member companies and their
contractors/subcontractors must provide the tier, range, section and
quarter section numbers (refer to using NW, NE, SE, SW) of the excavation
site sufficient enough for system to grid the ticket. |
| The start date and time of the planned excavation or
demolition. |
| The type and extent (size of the excavation area) of
the work involved, including if white paint, flags and/or stakes were used
to outline the proposed excavation area, and |
| Section/quarter sections when the above information
does not allow the State-wide One-Call Notice System to determine the
appropriate geographic section/quarter sections. (This item does not apply
to residential property owners.) If you are doing work for a JULIE member company, you
will be required to provide section/quarter section information on your
project. |
Number of Addresses on A Locate
Request
It is the policy of JULIE to limit the number of addresses that can be
listed on each locate request to ten (10) on the same street and within the
same block. The extent of work must be the same for all addresses
listed on that locate request.
Excavation Site
Accuracy is Important
One of the most common and dangerous mistakes made by excavators is when
they identify their excavation location as within a village or city, when
actually they are digging in the township. This situation sometimes
occurs because the mailing address includes the name of the nearest village
or city. It is the excavators'
responsibility to determine the exact location of the excavation site (city,
village, or unincorporated township) using appropriate mapping sources prior
to submitting the locate
request to JULIE.
When an address is not posted or when excavation is taking
place on property without a building, it is important to make the site
identifiable for the locators by posting the lot number.
