NMOC is a not-for-profit organization established in 1990 to provide professional damage prevention resources for excavators and homeowners statewide.  The law requires any excavator – professional or do-it-yourselfers – to notify all underground facility owners before digging. The facilities’ spotters then go to the dig site and locate and mark all underground pipes, cables, wires, etc. so the excavator can avoid them when digging.
