Section 20:25:03:01 - Operator participation

Each operator required by SDCL 49-7A-2 to join the one-call system:

(1) Shall provide to the notification center data that allows proper notification to the operator of excavation near the operator's utility lines and updates to such data. This data shall be provided to the notification center as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after membership or operation of underground facilities, whichever is first. This information shall be provided on printed forms or in an internet-based format, approved by the South Dakota One Call Notification board. Each facility operator shall identify and list its high profile underground facilities in such a way it can provide the center with a separate database;

(2) Shall respond to notification of excavation, including emergency notices, as required by SDCL chapter 49-7 A and article 20:25;

(3) Shall establish a means of receiving notification of excavation and shall utilize this method to receive such notification from the one-call notification center;

(4) Who receives more than an average of 30 tickets per month in any three consecutive months, shall receive tickets by electronic transmission other than by voice telephone. Electronic transmission includes e-mail, facsimile, data printer, or computer transmission; and

(5) Shall install an underground utility line in such a manner after January 1, 2009, that makes the line locatable by the operator for purposes of this chapter.
