Not yet responded: Facility operator has not yet responded to the ticket. Please note that the facility operator has not given clearance to excavate if you see this response on ticket.
Clear/No Conflict: If this is reflected on the ticket, the underground facility operator has indicated that the area identified on the ticket (but not any other areas) is clear of underground facilities.
Marked: This indicates that the area is marked in the field. Please confirm that marks are in fact in the field and if missing, do not excavate until the discrepancy is resolved.
Marking will be delayed: This response is used by underground facility operators when an unexpected situation has been experienced that will not allow the underground facility operator to mark prior to legal start date. If the situation has not been resolved prior to the legal start date do not start excavating. Contact the facility operator and determine why the facility has not been cleared or marked. Until the situation has been resolved with the underground facility operator an unsafe condition may exist in the field. Please note that GSOC cannot resolve an issue between an underground facility operator and an excavator regarding marking or positive response.
Not Complete/In Progress: This response is used when the locator has begun the process of locating underground facilities but that process is not yet complete. It may be used on an interim basis to indicate that some markings are in place but others will be added later. This response means that the locator has not completed work and excavation should not begin.
