Please check prior to drilling. Other • Within 6 feet of any high-pressure gas line,fiber optic cable,or water main • Within 10 feet of overhead power lines(25kV and higher),or 5 feet for lower voltage lines (such as typical service lines to a building), unless appropriate line insulation wrapping has been installed by a utility or authorized private utility firm. • Within 2 feet of any utility identified onsite except for landscape irrigation lines 2.2 Refusal Conditions During Hand Clearing Hand clearing methods(e.g. hand augering)are detailed in Section 3.4.5. The following details the policy as it relates to hand clearing. • Only a moderate amount of force should be used with hand clearing. Excessive force should not be used to advance a hand auger. • If an obstruction is found,the boring and cuttings should be examined. Other tools may be used to break up an obstruction as long as that obstruction is determined to not be a potential utility. Signs of a potential utility include the presence of fill material(non-native material), utility tape, pea gravel. • If an indication of a potential utility is present, then the boring location should be moved and direct clearing should be attempted again. • If,after 3 tries,the boring cannot be cleared to a depth of at least 5 feet or to the depth of the deepest suspected utility, then the boring location should be reviewed by a senior professional. Only a senior professional may decide to drill without clearing the boring to a depth of at least 5 feet or to the depth of the deepest suspected utility. • If an actual utility is identified in the hole,the procedure in Section 2.3 should be followed. 2.3 Encountering Utilities If a utility is encountered either during clearing activities or during drilling,the following procedure should be following: 1. Immediately cease all drilling activities. 2. If there is an immediate hazard, the area should be evacuated and the applicable emergency services listed in the Health and Safety Plan should be contacted. 3.
