Operation Report 2019 2019 ANNUAL SUMMARY After many years of working toward strengthening Alabama’s Underground Damage Prevention Legislation, on June 6, 2019, Governor Kay Ivey signed the Senate Bill 315, which updated the Alabama Underground Damage Prevention Law. The purpose of the Underground Damage Prevention Law is to safeguard against injury and loss of life due to excavation or demolition and to protect underground facilities from costly damage and the interruption of utility or other services to the general public. In order to more effectively achieve the purpose of this act, Senate Bill 315 was enacted to strengthen membership requirements in the state’s One-Call Notification System and strengthen enforcement of and penalties for violations of the Underground Damage Prevention Act. The following are the highlights of changes that went into effect with the passage of this bill. Membership: • This bill requires all underground utility owners to become a member of the state wide One-Call Notification System for receiving excavation and demolition notifications, and removes option for utility owner to operate their own in-house notification system. There is a seven-year sunset on the membership requirement. • Increases Public Service Commission regulatory oversight of the One-Call Notification System through additional annual reporting requirements. Alabama 811 is currently certified by the PSC and serves as the One-Call Notification System. • Provides for phased-in membership of new members over a two-year period based on their size. • Grants relief to excavators for damages to underground facility should the owner of the underground facility failed to join the One-Call Notification System. Enforcement: • Creates the Underground Damage Prevention Authority, made up of stakeholders, which reviews violations and renders penalties and fines for violations of the act. • Establishes and defines a tiered set of civil penalties and fines for violations of the act. • Establishes an Underground Damage Prevention Fund funded by penalties recovered for violations of the act. Fund expenditures shall be at the discretion of the Authority to carry out its duties and excess funds shall be used to support public awareness, training and education related to Underground Damage Prevention. Other improvements: • Limits the liability of an excavator for damages caused to underground facility if excavator has complied with act, if the facility owner received locate notification yet failed to mark their facilities in compliance with the act, and damage was a direct result of the failure to locate. • Grants relief from physical marking of facilities, with conditions, if a member facility owner does not have accurate information regarding exact location of their facilities. • Requires facility owner to provide a positive response to One-Call Notification System once they have determined the facility owner is not impacted at the excavation site or has marked the facility. (Requirement would take effect 12 months after law is enacted.) • Extends life of locate request from 10 to 20 working days for excavation and from 20 to 30 days for blasting. • Extends length of time a facility owner has to mark their facility at an excavation site to two full working days, not counting the day the notification is made. With these changes going into effect on January 1, 2020, much work was completed behind the scenes during 2019 to educate both existing and potential facility owner members and the excavating community on the changes that were to come. Programing changes and updates to the locate request software, GeoCall, were completed for the in-house team, the web port and the mobile application users. As we move into 2020, we will be closely watching what impact these changes make to the locate request volume, more timely response time to these locate requests and hopefully reduction in damages. As always, we thank our membership and the excavating community for making safety a top priority and always contacting 811 before all excavation project. Annette R.

  • 2007 Outlook
    2007 Outlook INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS The Paul Mainieri Era LSU Begins Since becoming LSU’s baseball coach on June 28, Paul Mainieri has learned much about the Fighting Tiger program, including its magnificent tradition, its loyal fans and its expectations of winning championships. Most importantly, Mainieri and his assistant coaches – Terry Rooney, Cliff Godwin and Blair Barbier – have spent the past several months educating themselves about the assets of the young men that comprise the 2007 LSU squad. Mainieri said that the Tigers’ four-week fall practice session in October revealed much about the team’s assets. “We found out an awful lot about our team this fall, and most of it was very good,” Mainieri said. “I don’t think we’re going to have many candidates for All-American this year, but I do think the kids are going to play hard, they’re going to play with a lot of enthusiasm, and I do think we have enough talent to win.” The ’07 Tigers feature 18 returning lettermen, including four position starters and seven pitchers that recorded innings last season. The youthful squad includes 23 freshmen and sophomores – and just four seniors - on a 37-man roster. “I do think we have enough talent to be a very competitive team this spring,” Mainieri said. “The kids have really responded to a new style of coaching, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them develop.” The 2007 Tigers Lettermen Returning/Lost: 18/14 Position Starters Returning/Lost: 4/5 Pitchers Returning/Lost: 7/7 Returning Redshirts: 2 Newcomers: 17 (11 high school players, 4 JUCO transfers, 2 four-year college transfers) By Class By State Seniors: 4 Louisiana: 25 Juniors: 10 Florida: 7 Sophomores: 11 Alabama: 2 Freshmen: 12 Mississippi: 2 Maine: 1 58 2007 LSU BASEBALL OFFICIAL YEARBOOK 2007 Outlook Position Players INTRO THIS IS LSU While pleased with the work ethic and team, is the Tigers’ projected starter at He batted .273 with two doubles, one PREVIEW energy displayed by the LSU position second base.
