This does not at all match reality. People don't have to have a permit to need to call USA (Call before you dig where I live.) Many things not requiring a permit do require calling USA before digging. I just tell them that I am digging at a location and they tell me if it's OK and if anything is near-by. I've been told to call for any dig deeper than 1 foot. Planting a tree does not require a permit, but the hole is plenty deep enough to be a problem! -- R.
