Oregon Utility Notification Center
The Oregon Utility Notification Center (OUNC) is the Oregon state agency that administers Oregon’s excavation laws and statewide locate requests.
The Governor-appointed Board of Directors serves to administer the OUNC, and also carries out a variety of public relations and educational programs, such as “Dig Safely” and “Call Before You Dig”.
The “One-Call Center” is located in Portland and is staffed by about 50 operators. The Center is available to process locate requests seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
