  2. Land Use and Development Planning near Transmission Energy Pipelines ~ Virginia ~ Jan. 11, 2013 ~ Impact Area ~ Natural Gas Transmission Pipeline Explosion San Bruno, CA

  3. Agenda • Introductions • Energy Pipelines 101 • Energy Pipelines in Virginia • Why are pipelines important? • Who regulates pipeline safety? • What role do local governments play in pipeline safety? • Why land planning near pipelines? • PIPA recommended practice examples • Resources for local governments

  4. Energy Pipelines 101

  5. Natural Gas Pipeline Systems: From the Wellhead to the Consumer

  6. Petroleum Pipeline Systems: From the Wellhead to the Consumer • HL products transported: • Gasoline • Diesel fuel • Kerosene • Natural gas • Heating oil • Propane • Aviation gasoline. • Jet fuel • Carbon dioxide (CO2) • Ethane • Crude oil • Coal • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) • Coal slurry

  7. Pump Station & Tank Farm

  8. Compressor Station

  9. Valves

  10. City Gate Station Odorant Tank Meter and Regulator Runs Line Heater

  11. Identifying Pipelines in The Field • Provides an indication of their presence (not exact location), product carried and the name and contact information of the company that operates the pipeline. • Pipeline markers are generally yellow, black and red in color.

  12. Energy Pipelines in Virginia

  13. VA Transmission Pipeline Mileage by County/City

  14. Colonial Pipeline

  15. Plantation Pipe Line Company (Kinder Morgan)

  16. NuStar F

  17. Major Natural Gas Pipelines in Virginia

  18. Service Areas of Virginia Natural Gas Distribution Companies

  19. Why Are Pipelines Important?Benefits and Risks

  20. Benefits and Risks of Pipelines Benefits Safe, secure, cost efficient transportation Fuel for: • Motor vehicles, ships and airplanes • Heating, water heat, cooking, drying • Commercial – Bakery, dry cleaner, generators • Industrial – glass and aluminum manufacturing • Agricultural – corn dryer • Power plants • Military – largest single buyer in the world Feedstock for food products, pharmaceuticals, plastics and resins Risks • Life Safety (health effects, injury, fatality) • Environmental • Property (repairable/non-repairable) • Cultural/historical • Economic disruption or cessation • Loss of confidence in government/operator • Fear

  21. Pipeline Failures – Gas Transmission

  22. Pipeline Failures – Gas Transmission Natural gas transmission pipeline fire in San Bruno, CA.

  23. Pipeline Failures - Natural Gas Distribution Natural gas distribution explosion, Chantilly, VA.

  24. Pipeline Failures – Hazardous Liquid Virginia Hazardous Liquid: 2001-2012 YTD

  25. Risk Factors: Influence the likelihood of pipeline failure (frequency) • Development’s effect on pipeline (e.g. cause stray current, run-off) • Excavation activity/practices/laws • Intensity of natural force activity • Terrorism/vandalism • Physical condition of the pipe in its environment (programmatically addressed by pipeline safety regulations – integrity management, corrosion control, patrolling, surveying, construction and installation specifications, physical barriers to aboveground structures) • Operator personnel (OQ, drug testing)

  26. Risk factors: Influence the consequence of pipeline failure (magnitude) • Distance of structure from centerline of pipeline. • Fire endurance of the structures • Ability for persons to move away from the impact area (e.g. prison, hospital) • Preparedness of emergency responders • Size of the fire or explosion • Pipeline failures resulting from natural force damage • Local conditions – topography, waterways, drinking water sources, environmental areas, highly concentrated population, vegetation, structures. • Criticality of the supply (e.g. airport, power plant, corn dryer). • Product transported • Time it takes to shut in the pipeline. • Pipeline characteristics: pipeline size, pipeline strength, condition of the pipeline, operating pressure, potential spill volume, valve spacing

  27. Significant Incidents 1986 - 2012 http://projects.propublica.org/pipelines/

  28. National and Jurisdiction-Specific Pipeline Risk • primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm

  29. Virginia Significant Incident Statistics

  30. Virginia Significant Pipeline Incidents

  31. Who Regulates Pipeline Safety?

  32. Who regulates pipelines…Federal Office of Pipeline Safety Hazardous Materials Safety

  33. Code of Federal Regulation Pipeline Safety - Title 49 Part 190 - 199

  34. Virginia Pipeline Safety Regulation The Division of Gas and Oil's responsibilities include inspection of well sites, gathering pipelines, and gas fracturing – not included in today’s discussion.

  35. Virginia Pipeline Safety & Excavation Damage Prevention Laws Code of Virginia. Title 56 PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANIES: • Chapter 10 Heat, Light, Power, Water and Other Utility Companies Generally (56-257.2) • Chapter 21 Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Act (56-555) • Chapter 10.3 Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act (56-265.14 thru 56-265.32)

  36. State & Local Government Role in Pipeline Safety • Public Awareness of Pipelines • Excavation Damage Prevention • Emergency Preparedness, Response, & Recovery • Land Use and Development Planning Authority…

  37. Pipeline Safety & Land Planning Authority

  38. Improving Pipeline Safety Across Generations

  39. Growth along a transmission pipeline in Washington State… 1990 2002

  40. Growth Near the Pipeline ROW

  41. Limit the negative impacts ofland development near pipelines…

  42. Increases Likelihood of Excavation Damage Impedes Access for Emergency Response & Safe Maintenance/Operation of the Pipeline

  43. Increased Consequences of Failure

  44. Choosing Better Options

  45. About the PIPA Report Created by a stakeholder group of ~130 participants representing a wide range of interests, organizations, and viewpoints on pipelines and community planning. Scope: Existing Gas Transmission & Hazardous Liquid Pipelines Stakeholders: Local Government, Property Developer/Owner, Pipeline Operator, Real Estate Commission Scenarios: Baseline (implement in preparation for future) and New Development (Implement when use/development is proposed) 43 Recommended Practices • www.PIPA-Info.com

  46. BL01 Obtain Transmission Pipeline Mapping Data Obtain Transmission Pipeline Mapping Data

  47. National Pipeline Mapping System Contains • Pipelines, operator name/contact information • Product transported • Diameter (optional) • Accuracy (+/-500 feet) • Password Needed Does not contain: • Pump/compressor stations • Valves • Capacity • Operating Pressures Limited to Federal, State, and Local Government Officials
