Mission

The Common Ground Alliance is dedicated to preventing damage to underground utility infrastructure and protecting those who live and work near these important assets through the shared responsibility of our stakeholders.

About California 811

California Government Code section 4216.6 g & h calls for operators and excavators to provide information about “incident events” using the California Regional Common Ground Alliance Virtual Private Damage Information Reporting Tool. Incident events are excavator downtime, damages, near misses and violations. Each calendar year’s incident events must be reported by March 31 of the following year.

Reporting is accomplished by inputting your data in a web-based form or electronic data exchange using xml or an automated data loader.

Begin reporting your incident events today. It’s part of the law!

Annual DIRT Reports

CGA and its Data Reporting & Evaluation Committee uses the data submitted to DIRT to produce DIRT Annual Reports, on-line interactive dashboards, and supplemental reports and tools providing a comprehensive accounting and analysis of excavation-related damages (and near miss events) to buried infrastructure in the U.S. and Canada.
