Written by Staff Report | Sep 15, 2026, 8:06:00 PM

The Alabama Underground Damage Prevention Authority (ALUDPA) is established for the purpose of enforcing the Alabama Underground Damage Prevention State Law, for reviewing penalty provisions, and for reviewing the adequacy of the Alabama State Law Enforcement Program.

The Enforcement Program is a complaint-driven process where a complaint may be submitted against an entity for violation of the Alabama Underground Damage Prevention State Law. A complaint may also be submitted as information only and not designated for enforcement penalties.

A complaint may be submitted using the Complaint Form at https://www.aludpa.org/ no later than 30 days after the occurrence of an alleged violation. The submitted Complaint Form is reviewed by the ALUDPA for determination of an alleged violation and for penalty provisions that may apply. The reported violator is then notified by the ALUDPA that a response may be submitted using the Response Form also found athttps://www.aludpa.org/ no later than 14 days after the ALUDPA notification.

To all stakeholders in Alabama

Recently, ALUDPA hired a third-party to administer Alabama’s enforcement program. The ALUDPA thanks the Alabama Public Service Commission who served as the program’s administrator since its inception.

Effective June 1, 2026, ACTS Now, Inc (ACTS) is the program’s administrator. ACTS has served in a similar capacity for Mississippi’s enforcement program since 2017 and brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Alabama’s program.

One of their trademarks is accessibility. If you have questions about the program, its process, how to file or respond to a complaint, or you haven’t heard the final outcome of a previously filed complaint, ACTS can be reached at
