The CGA's Best Practices Committee developed a Best Practices Guide
based on the work of the "Common Ground Task Force." The guide
includes a restatement of the best practices listed in the Common Ground
Study, practice statements with supporting description, and all new
practices published at least three months prior to the publication
date. The latest version, Best Practices Version
7.0, was published in March 2010 and includes all new
practices approved prior to December
2009.

The CGA has published Version 7.0 in field manual
form. The entire book is also available to download

The new practices and modifications incorporated into the
latest version include:
- Practice 6-17 was modified to include ortho-photography as an
example of acceptable one call format.
- Practice 8-1-1, "Marketing 811 - A National One Call Number," was
added to Chapter 8.
- Practice 8-2 was modified to include updated target audiences and
references.
- Practice 8-3 was modified to include update to examples.
- Practice 8-6 was modified to include updated language and a current
press release sample.
- Glossary was updated to include new definitions for Project Owner,
Public, Railroad Operating Corridor, Large/Complex Projects and Digital
Imagery.
The verbatim restatement of all of the ancillary material contained
in the original Study, other than the best practices themselves, is
available within the Common Ground
Study published in 1999 and is intended to be used as an
historical reference point for people interested in a more detailed
background regarding current best practices.

committee and overall process for continuous review of the
practices.
