While the locate technician has marked the approximate horizontal location of the facility, the utility or its locate technician want to be present during any excavation near that facility. The utility will attempt to contact the excavator to determine when excavation will take place. 2B Marked with Exceptions – Privately owned facilities on property; contact private facility owner directly – A utility or its locate technician has located and marked its underground facility, but other facilities of that same type are in the area and were not marked because the utility claims no responsibility for locating them. This happens most often with customer-owned service lines. 3A Unmarked – Locate technician could not gain access to property; call utility to schedule access. Excavation site is unmarked. A utility’s locate technician was sent to the excavation site, but was unable to access the area to be marked due to a locked gate, blocked entrance, guard dog or other circumstance prohibiting entry. Call the utility to re-schedule a time when the entrance will be open. 3B Unmarked – Incorrect address information. Call SSOCOF to verify the information on the ticket.

The marking instructions on the locate ticket are not clear. The description may not make sense or the description may not match what the locate technician sees at the excavation site. Contact the utility to provide clarification. 3N Unmarked – Locate description is insufficient - white lining is required per s. 556.105(5)(a), F.S. Please contact the utility when white lining is completed. Excavation site is unmarked. Based on the written description on the ticket, the locate technician could not determine the exact area that needed locating. White lining is required per s. 556.105(5)(a) when the written description of the area to be located is not understandable, when the excavation site is less than 500 feet in length, and when the marks don't interfere with traffic or pedestrian control (i.e. placing white marks on the ground could be confused with the lines already on pavement directing pedestrian and car traffic). 3P Unmarked –Utility does not have accurate information to perform the requested locate - please contact the utility for further details per s. 556.105 (7)(a), F.S.

Extraordinary circumstances indicate situations other than normal operating conditions such as a natural or man-made disaster. 3U Unmarked – Not service provider for this location. Excavation site is unmarked. Another company provides the services at this location. (i.e. Two phone companies provide services near the area where excavation will occur.
