(a) The requirements of this chapter shall not apply to any property owner who, without the aid of a contractor, is performing work within the boundaries of his or her property which does not require the acquisition of any permit issued by Loudoun County.
(b) The requirements of Section 1024.08 shall not apply to any person acting as or for the operator of a damaged line in making repairs to his or her own underground facilities or repairs to the streets or alleys themselves in a condition of emergency when such repairs must be made within a shorter period of time than that provided for in Section 1024.08(a). However, this exemption from obtaining information shall not excuse the person making the excavation from taking all reasonable precautions to protect underground facilities or from any liability for damages caused by his or her negligence.
(c) Excavation by a contractor for the purpose of surface replacement shall not require compliance with the notification and marking procedures of this chapter only if it does not exceed in depth the structure to be replaced or repaired.
