Trenching in Wayne County: FAQ
MIOSHA requires sloping, benching, shoring or a trench box for trenches deeper than 5 feet, and a competent person may require protection in shallower trenches in poor soil.
Yes. Michigan law applies to any excavation, and gas and electric service lines can be shallow. Notify MISS DIG 811 at least three business days ahead.
It can if the soil is dumped back loose. Compacting in layers, and topping with extra soil on lawns, reduces settling.
