SACRAMENTO – California’s Underground Safety Board today released its draft regulatory language for public comment on the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in recording and mapping new subsurface installations. California’s Dig Safe Act requires operators to use GIS for recording locations of new underground assets.
The draft regulations define “new subsurface installation” and explain what operators must do to comply.
Written public comments will be accepted until Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 5 p.m.
Comments must be submitted to the underground board meetings docket via Energy Safety’s e-filing system, by email to digboard@energysafety.ca.gov with the subject line GIS Regulatory Language Public Comments, or by regular mail to:
