The SDP grant program fosters improved damage prevention programs by supporting projects such as the enforcement of state excavation damage prevention laws, stakeholder education about digging safely, technologies to improve efficiencies, and other related excavation safety initiatives. The funding is available to state authorities to help them align with one or more of nine elements that are considered characteristic of effective damage prevention programs, which are outlined in the SDP program authorizing statute (Pub.
