Pipeline integrity has been confirmed with pressure testing at 150 percent of the maximum allowable operating pressure.

Regular inspections using a tool called a "smart pig" will be used to monitor pipe integrity.

Operations

Skilled personnel oversee operations to ensure pipeline safety and integrity.

Valves are located along the pipeline to isolate gas flow.

Pipeline operations are continuously monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Maintenance

Routine visual and in-line inspections will meet or exceeed federal regulations and standards.

Routine aerial patrols of the pipeline right-of-way are conducted to identify potential risks, such as third-party excavation, encroachments or changes in right-of-way conditions.

Pipeline Markers

Pipeline markers and warning signs are visible along the pipeline right-of-way.

Markers identify the product and contact information in case of emergency.
