DIRT Reporting

The Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) has been collecting underground damage data since 2005 to better understand the root causes that lead to these events and to develop and target public awareness plans to minimize the risk of future events.


The 2017 DIRT Report was released and posted online on March 16, 2018; in addition, the DIRT Report was mailed to all members.
