Q: Who can file a DIRT report? A: Anyone.
Q: I just damaged a utility's facility. Do I have to submit a DIRT report? A: YES. RCW 19.122.053 requires that facility operators and excavators (who are defined as anyone who is displacing material on or below the ground) who cause or observe damage to utility infrastructure are required to submit a report to the Commission within 45 days of the damage incident.
Q: If I submit a report, will I be penalized if I was at fault? A: Only about 1% of the damage reports received by the Commission result in penalties assessed for the damage caused. However, reports of damage are also submitted by facility operators, who are required to provide excavator contact information to the Commission. Failure to submit a report after causing damage is a violation of RCW 19.122.053 and could result in a penalty in addition to any penalty assessed for a violation.
Q: What is done with the reports if they are not used for penalties? A: The Commission uses data gathered from the reports to examine trends and discover issues to address with facility operators, excavators, and the public to improve the effectiveness of the Damage Prevention program. The data is also used to determine what regions would be best served by trainings and public outreach.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:
