Book Synopsis Building Safe Communities by : United States. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Office of Pipeline Safety
Download or read book Building Safe Communities written by United States. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Office of Pipeline Safety. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing and applying recommended practices for land use and development in areas near pipelines is one means of addressing pipeline risks to communities. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), is sponsoring the Pipelines and Informed Planning Alliance (PIPA) to develop these recommended practices. A balanced view of the risks involved with pipelines and their relation to land use planning and development decisions by local governments, landowners, and property developers is important for effective application of the recommended practices. The purpose of this report is to assist local governments and developers in better understanding pipeline risks and to provide a context for the use of recommended practices for development near hazardous liquid and gas transmission pipelines. This report aims to provide a context for local governments and developers to better understand pipeline risks through discussion of the following areas: 1) Risks that transmission pipelines pose to the community and mitigation of those risks; 2) Transmission pipeline historical safety performance; 3) Comparison between pipeline historical risk and historical risk from the release of hazardous materials from other modes of transportation; 4) Specific regulations covering pipeline operations that could affect populated areas, drinking water sources, and ecologically sensitive areas.

Book Synopsis Planning for the Development of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Infrastructure by : Travis Theodore Rechlin Gordon
Download or read book Planning for the Development of Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Infrastructure written by Travis Theodore Rechlin Gordon. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural gas pipeline infrastructure has been developing in the United States at increased rates in recent years. This is due in part to developments in natural gas exploration techniques, as well as the rising cost of other forms of fuel. While there are thousands of miles of natural gas pipelines already in existence in the United States, more are being developed. Consequently, more land will be disturbed and more physical infrastructure will be required to ensure safe and reliable delivery of natural gas. Planners in communities planning for natural gas must understand how the natural gas pipeline industry works. Knowledge of land use, and the physical implications of the process is critical in planning for natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure development.In order to address the question of how to plan for natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure development, an analysis of three communities that have recently experienced this growth in their areas was conducted. Recommendations for planners who are tasked with similar planning situations are illustrated using the findings from the three case studies. In studying the three communities, it was determined that there are numerous ways that communities can plan for natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure development. Some communities may choose to develop methods to forecast and prevent pipeline related incidents from happening. Some communities may focus on public awareness of natural gas pipeline infrastructure; while others may concentrate on design guidelines of physical infrastructure and legislation associated with the use of public infrastructure.There is no one size fits all method to plan for natural gas pipeline infrastructure development. The techniques of planning for natural gas pipeline infrastructure development must be adapted to satisfy the needs and concerns of communities starting the planning process. Planners, as well as other interested citizens, would be wise to consider the actions implemented by the referenced communities when preparing for projects in their own communities.
