The State of Georgia has revised its damage prevention regulations in:

  • Title 515 – Georgia Public Service Commission;
  • Chapter 9 – Safe Installation and Operation of Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution Systems;
  • Rule 3 – Enforcement Procedures Governing Gas Pipeline Safety;
  • 9-3 Enforcement Procedures Governing Gas Pipeline Safety

Section 515-9-3-.14 "Utilities Protection Center" and the new Section 515-9-3-.15 "Damage Prevention" require that all Owners and/or Operators of a buried utility facility in Georgia shall be a member of the State-wide Utilities Protection Center, and that all Owners and/or Operators of a buried utility facility in Georgia shall comply in all respects, with Title 25, Chapter 9 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. The previous regulations only required that gas distribution systems comply with those requirements.
