Best locater is the backhoe! Was building a house one time and the backhoe operator didn't call for a locate. There was a gas line marker not to far from where he was digging. He hit a 2" line and ruptured it. There was a lady in the small town that was supposed to be in charge of the gas business. She came with a clamp to crimp the line but didn't want to get down in the hole to do it. Finally the backhoe guy did it. About that time the guys from the actual gas company that owned the line showed up. They were really upset that the guy had clamped off the gas. The right way was to dig up the line a safe distance back from the leak and clamp it there. Doing it in the hole by the leak could have caused an explosion when the friction from closing the clamp caused it to ignite so they said. Could have taken half the town with if it if would have blown.
