Enforcement

For questions involving enforcement issues, please be familiar with the “Dig Law” (Louisiana Underground Utilities and Facilities Damage Prevention Law).

  • In 2017, Governor John Bel Edwards signed legislation granting authority of the Commissioner of Conservation to enforce Louisiana’s Dig Law (RS 40:1749:11-27) on regulated pipeline right of ways. The Commissioner of Conservation Damage Prevention Program webpage can be viewed at: www.dnr.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/page/1513
  • The enforcement program is complaint based. For complaints regarding regulated pipelines, concerning excavating without a One Call Ticket, unsafe digging practices, mismarking or no marks, the toll free contact number is 1-833-726-0410. Complaints can also be emailed to: [email protected]
