Underground Damage Prevention Program, One-Call Notification System, further provided for complex or large projects

SB 295 adds new requirements for excavators planning complex or large projects that could risk damaging underground utilities. It defines "complex or large projects" as those exceeding 40 days, involving five or more simultaneous work crews, or requiring multiple locate requests in one day. The bill mandates special procedures before starting such projects, including additional coordination with the One-Call system to prevent accidental damage to utility lines. This directly affects construction companies, contractors, and municipalities undertaking major excavation work.
