A public hearing will be held in Room 413, 4th Floor, State Capitol, Pierre, South Dakota, on September 30, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., to consider the adoption and amendment of proposed rules numbered: 20:25:01:01, 20:25:02:06, 20:25:03:01, 20:25:03:05.04, 20:25:03:07 and 20:25:03:10.02. The One-Call Notification Board is responsible for administering the one-call notification system for the location of underground facilities. It proposes modifications to existing rules. The primary reason for the proposed rule changes is to respond to the request from the Pipeline Safety Task Force with the intent of improving the safety of the excavators and reduce the potential for damage to a high profile underground facility. There are also some minor changes that will serve to improve the efficiency of the South Dakota One Call System. The reasons for the proposed rule changes are to improve the efficiencies of the South Dakota One Call System by clarifying and modifying the Administrative Rules that have been identified by the users of the system as requiring improvement.
Persons interested in presenting data, opinions, and arguments for or against the proposed rules may do so by appearing in person at the hearing or by sending them to the One-Call Notification Board, % South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, State Capitol, 500 East Capitol, Pierre, South Dakota 57501-5070.
