When marking a dig site on a map, draw the polygon or radius large enough to notify necessary members but not too large to notify unnecessarily. When there is an address point on the same street, draw a polygon around the address. If no address point exists, mark both sides of the road. For rural areas without clear address information, get directions and mark both sides. When information is conflicting, mark both sides as a safety precaution. Adjust markings based on available parcel and address point data, and use best judgment to clearly mark the intended area.

1. Marking the Dig Site
When marking the dig site, draw your polygon or radius for your circle large enough to notify all necessary
members. Also narrow down the marking down so we do not mark too much of an area that we notify
members unnecessarily. Use your best judgment. Keep in mind it is better to over notify than under notify!
Inside City Limits
 When address points exists on the same street of your address or within the same general area, draw a polygon to
cover the requested address or the side of road in which the address should exist based on address point information
in Geocall. (Please note: if you do not see a specific address point but see other specific address points, you should
verify the address with the caller, such as the house number, the street name, the street type and prefixes/suffixes as
applicable)
 When address point data does not exist on the same street or general area of your address, mark both sides of the
road. This includes when the caller provides what side of the road the dig site is placed.
Rural (outside city limits)
 If the location is in a rural area it is required to get driving directions including the side of the road of the location.
The polygon should cover the dig site on the side of the road based on what the caller provides. If caller is unsure
what side of the road the address is on, please mark both sides of the road.
Conflicting Information
 Anytime there is conflicting information regarding what side of road the dig site is on, for safety reasons, the correct
process is to mark both sides of the road.

2. Parcel and Address Point
 Address: 2831 NW 59 th St, OKC
 Draw polygon to cover full parcel including all the way to the street the
address is located. Do not draw right along the parcel data. Include a
small buffer outside the parcel data. (Color Outside The Lines)

3. Parcels with No Address Points
 Address: 7025 NW 61 st ST, Oklahoma City
 Once you determine there are no address points available, any of the lots could be your dig site on
that block. You would not know the side of road because Geocall has no info. Draw a polygon to cover
the entire hundred block on both sides of the road. It does not matter if the caller supplies side of
road. Carefully navigate the street to make sure you are marking the entire hundred block.

4. No Parcels/No Address Points
 Address: 1115 N Melinda Ave, Newcastle
 Draw polygon to cover from NW 10th St to NW 14th St to cover the full
hundred block and extend polygon from N Eunice Ave to N Doris Ave to cover
full properties on both sides of N Melinda and to cover size of property.

5. No Parcels/No Address Points
 Address: 5107 Linda Dr, New Cordell
 Draw polygon to cover block to block…however be careful at the west end of the
road because it may be a cul-de-sac. Check aerial to ensure enough is covered.

6. Address Points, No Parcels
 Address: 9209 SW 22 ND TERR, Oklahoma City
 “Connect the dots” around address given, as the property for the given
address should not extend into the surrounding properties. Be sure to
use the Identify tool to make sure the correct address is marked.

7. Full Lot and all Adjacent Lots
 Address: 528 E 65 th PL N, Tulsa
 All adjacent properties mean: all touching properties. Therefore draw
polygon to cover full parcel of requested address and all properties that
touch that address.

8. No Address Point for Address
 Address: 5317 S Columbia Ave
 Here we only see addresses for 5315 and 5321 S Columbia Ave. First
verify address with your caller to ensure the correct address was
supplied. If they insist the address is correct and do not want to
suspend the ticket, mark where the address should logically fall.

9. Full Property and Both Sides of Road on
Corner Addresses
 Address: 6515 N Laird Ave
 First, ask the caller which street they will be crossing. If the caller provides a
specific street, then change locate instructions to read “LOC FULL PROPERTY
AND BOTH SIDES OF N LAIRD AVE” Then draw polygon large enough to
cover that area. If caller cannot provide a specific street, draw polygon large
enough to cover both sides of all streets around the address.
