Tolerance Zone:
Tolerance zone is the approximate location of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities defined as a strip of land at least 3 feet wide, but not wider than the width of the under ground facility plus 1-1/2 feet on either side of such facility based upon the markings made by the owner or operator of the facility.
