The tolerance zone is defined as the horizontal distance of 24 inches from either side of the outside dimensions of the buried facility. Therefore, the minimum distance of the tolerance zone would be 48 inches or 4 feet across.

The statute requires the excavator to use reasonable care when digging within the tolerance zone. In the industry, hand digging is typically considered to be a means of reasonable care. Other methods of reasonable care such as vacuum excavation may be more appropriate is some cases. Mechanical excavation in the tolerance zone is allowable as long as the excavator takes extra precautions, (such as a spotter), to avoid damage to the buried facility. See similar questions...
