The board shall have sole jurisdiction and authority for reviewing and granting or denying any waiver requested pursuant to this section. However, a waiver shall be deemed appropriate in those instances when an operator demonstrates that:

a. Damage to the underground facilities owned, operated, or controlled by the operator would pose no threat to the public safety; or

b. There is no possibility that an underground facility owned, operated or controlled by the operator will be damaged by excavating activities.

An operator who has requested a waiver pursuant to this section shall participate in the One-Call Damage Prevention System while the request is being considered by the board.
