Electronic Positive Response (EPR) Codes as defined by DigAlert

The EPR codes are maintained by DigAlert in conjunction with USA North 811 for continuity within the state of California.  These codes are used for members to submit responses to DigAlert's EPR servers.

For Excavators wishing to check responses, please see → Verifying Responses via Website.  The responses will be displayed with the description, not the code.
