DIRT Report Finds Underground Utility Damages Declining OSP Magazine \| September 21st, 2009 The Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the nation's leading organization focused on protecting underground utility lines and the safety of people who dig near them, announced findings from its comprehensive Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) Report. [c'mon now!] The estimated total number of underground utility damages occurring in the U.S. in 2008 has decreased to 200,000 from the 2004 and 2007 estimates of 450,000 and 256,000 respectively. The total number of events submitted for 2008 was 135,521, which represents facility damages, near misses, and/or downtime incurred. The number of event submissions increased for the 5th consecutive year, which is indicative of broader support for voluntary data submission into DIRT. Several stakeholder groups currently submit data to DIRT as listed below: - Natural Gas: 41% - One Call Center: 27% - Telecommunication: 23% - Excavator: 3% - Electric: 3% - Other: 3% Cont.: 66.111.101.221 Source: cga-dirt.com ------
