N2 - Some advances have been made in utility locating in recent years and standards have been recently published to try and categorize the level of information known about the utilities in the subsurface. What current standards lack is characterization about the level of effort or technology in the geophysicist approach to utility locating. A simple generalization of geophysical technology/product, designed to fit within current standards, is advanced for the purpose of discussion. This generalization uses three levels or tiers to distinguish the geophysical product and its inherent information content. Due to nuclear legacy issues, the Department of Energy (DOE) environment poses some added difficulties and this generalization is used to describe the technical approach, with examples, that is being developed at the Idaho National Laboratory.
