• Any time the ground at Wright state is going to be dug, bored, scratched, or otherwise disturbed in any way.

Request a permit at least 72 business hours before the work starts.

Whoever is performing the work should request the permit. Examples could include an outside contractor, a physical plant employee, grounds employee, or project manager.

It is the Project Manager’s responsibility along with the contractor/individual performing the work to make sure that a Dig Permit is submitted.

Whoever is performing the work should contact the Ohio Utilities Protection Service, whether it's an outside contractor, Physical Plant employee, grounds employee, etc.
