Before you dig
- OH — OHIO811 — crews still say OUPS needs 2 working days notice, tolerance 18" each side.You must break ground within 16 calendar days from when the centre receives your notice.Not counting the day you call, and no more than 16 calendar days ahead. A ticket filed at 9pm Monday still burns Monday, so you dig Thursday.18 inches each side of the facility itself, not of the paint line. Hand tools, hydro or air vacuum inside it.Ohio rewrote its dig law in June 2026, so most summaries are out of date. HB 227 also added ORC 3781.261: anyone with responsibility in the 811 process needs documented damage-prevention training, provided at initial assignment and renewed every five years. If you are mobilizing a crew into Ohio, that paperwork has to exist before the first ticket. OHIO811 runs the training free.ORC 3781.28 (notice) and 3781.25 (tolerance) — rewritten by HB 227, effective 9 June 2026
- PA — Pennsylvania One Call System (PA811) needs 3 business days notice, tolerance 18" each side.Not less than three nor more than ten business days ahead. Complex projects need ten. The clock starts when PA One Call receives it, not when you dial.18 inches from the outside wall or edge of the line, not from the mark.There is no day count on a PA ticket — it stays good while your equipment is on site and the marks are visible. But leave the site for more than two business days and you have to re-notify. A crew that demobs Friday and comes back Wednesday is digging on a dead ticket. Pennsylvania also gives law enforcement actual stop-work authority in the field, which most states do not.Act 287 of 1974 (73 P.S. §§ 176–182), as amended
Check the ticket yourself before the first bore. This is a starting point, not legal advice, and the clock does not always start when you call.
Scope
Buried drops behind install in established neighborhoods, heavy clay through most of it. Crews furnish mini-ex, vac trailer, and locator. Restoration and seed included in the rate. Call-before-you-dig handled by the prime with 72-hour lead.
