USA North provides a free and effective Damage Prevention Service that protects the communities and underground facilities in Central and Northern California, and Nevada.
USA North began operation in May of 1975 & incorporated as a Non Profit Mutual Benefit Corporation in 1986. Our objective is to receive planned excavation reports from public or private excavators and to transmit those planned excavation reports to all participating members of USA North who may have facilities at that excavation site. Our members will 1) mark or stake the horizontal path of their facility, 2) provide information about the location of their facility, or 3) advise the excavator of clearance, for facilities that they own.
