House of Representatives Passes Resolution Recognizing Safe Digging Month

On May 5, 2010 Congress passed a resolution sponsored by Representative Bill Shuster recognizing National Safe Digging Month.  This event sponsored the Common Ground Alliance of which AGC of America is a sponsor and founding member. Safe Digging Month is intended to raise awareness of the national "811 Call Before You Dig Campaign." The Common Ground Alliance (CGA) is a member-driven association dedicated to ensuring public safety, environmental protection, and the integrity of services by promoting effective damage prevention practices.    In recent years, the association has established itself as the leading organization in an effort to reduce damages to all underground facilities in North America through shared responsibility among all stakeholders.
