3. Background – DOT/PHMSA Message to States • Call to Action: Secretary of Transportation and PHMSA encourage programs to accelerate the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of the highest-risk pipeline infrastructure, including • Cast iron mains • 1960 – 1980 plastic pipe • Mechanical couplings used for joining and pressure-sealing pipe • Unprotected bare steel • Copper pipe • Older vulnerable pipe, pipe with inadequate records to verify integrity • Additional messages – safe digging, strong damage prevention, land use around pipelines must be addressed

4. Aging Infrastructure (% by Decade in USA) 54% 58% 47% 40% 44% 42% 53% 60% 4

5. Incidents, Inspection results, results driving changes • Changing environment: • Growing public intolerance • Vastly increased media attention • Social media (without editorial control) • Energy pipelines have graduated to the national stage, many times for the wrong reasons. Demand for accountability and improved safety increasing. • Moving from a “checkbox” mentality to understanding the health of our pipeline systems by analyzing and understanding data and information and promptly acting to reduce risks. Safety Culture, accountability at leadership level within organization is essential.

6. A Serious Risk: Excavation Damage

7. Addressing Excavation Damage • A shared responsibility – Nine Elements are guiding principals • Multi-faceted • PHMSA’s Current areas of emphasis include: • Fair and balanced enforcement (Rulemaking PHMSA-2009-0192-0201 ) • Removing exemptions from state laws (2011 Reauthorization) • Raising awareness of 811 • Gathering, analyzing and understanding data • Transparency

9. Pipeline & Materials Life-Cycle Integrity Management System The Smart Way to Manage, Verify & Document Your Pipe & Materials Inventory

10. “Traceable, verifiable and accurate recordkeeping…is crucial,”—PHMSA Administrator Cynthia Quarterman

11. What is SpreadBoss? • It’s a revolutionary software and real-time pipeline and materials tracking, tracing & documentation system that sets a new standard for verification, traceability and compliance • Utilizes the latest bar code technology, RFID or GPS application depending on specific need • Can be used for pipe tracking, tracing & documentation as well as for materials inventory & control (warehousing functions) • Fully compliant with all aspects of capture, storage, retrieval, automation and secure access of all data and documentation via a single database accessed in real time by multiple users • Has been successfully used within the pipeline and utilities markets for over 3 years with positive results

12. The Need for Traceability and Documenting • Government regulations (Pipeline Safety Act) creating major challenges regarding how to effectively manage regulated documents • However, only about half of industry participants believe they have an effective document management system • New requirements for pipeline operators to provide geospatial and technical data for pipeline components and verify records to ensure they accurately reflect physical and operational characteristics to confirm established maximum allowable operating pressures (MAOPs) • Comes one year after the NTSB issued urgent safety recommendations that pipeline operators use “traceable, verifiable, and complete” records for determining valid MAOPs

13. Looking Backward…& Forward • Operators may need backwardtraceability to identify when a suspect component was installed, inspected, and maintained • Also critical is where and how it was manufactured, tested, received, and stored before installation • Current regulations focus on record keeping for testing, operations, maintenance, and integrity management—but not for component traceability • Operators are now looking at forwardtraceability to identify all locations where material from the same batch as a “suspect” component is installed or in inventory • Additionally, operators are becoming more proactive in tracing specific pipeline components using specific “DNA” such as heat numbers, mill reports, diameter, coating type etc., to pinpoint the original source of these components, thus providing a complete “end to end” traceability and documentation audit trail for all pipe and materials

14. The SpreadBoss Advantage • TRACEABILITY:See exact location of pipe or materials by different “DNA” criteria whether in transit, storage or in the field • VERIFICATION:Customer knows with 100% certainty the pipe ordered is the pipe received • COMPLIANCE:Checking, locating and documenting pipe for regulation & compliance purposes is now easy & effortless • DOCUMENTATION: Its stand-alone electronic document and image repository features Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology that captures paper-based data for secure, verified legacy storage, rapid template field searches and records retrieval, and export of original project records

27. Densely Populated Areas • Enhanced damage prevention activities are necessary to protect life and property in densely populated areas. • Urban sprawl results in construction activities near pipelines located in previously unpopulated areas, increasing the risk of third party damage and increasing the consequences associated with those damages. • Local ordinances may prohibit certain types of markings that can be applied to identify the location of the pipelines. Upscale communities may prohibit the use of indelible paint and permanent pipeline markers.

28. Public Awareness Campaigns • An effective public awareness campaign is essential to an effective damage prevention program. Ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of their role regarding damage prevention is key to the success of the program. • The Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) Part 192.616 requires operators of natural gas pipeline facilities to develop and implement a continuing education program that follows guidance provided in the American Petroleum Institute’s (“API”) Recommended Practice (“RP”) 1162 which is incorporate by reference to the CFR Part 192.

29. Public Awareness Campaigns • The operators programs must include provisions to educate the public, appropriate government organizations, and persons engage in excavation related activities. The information must include: • (1) use of a one-call notification system, • (2) possible hazards associated with unintended releases from a gas pipeline, • (3) physical indicators that a release has occurred, • (4) steps to be taken to protect the public and, • (5) procedures for reporting such an event.

30. Watch and Protect Programs • Watch and Protect programs are implemented to protect critical infrastructure. One example of such a program includes notification of specific personnel within the organization when notification of planned excavation activity is provided to the utility operator. • When planned excavation may pose a potential threat to critical infrastructure, such as transmission pipelines, a member of the watch and protect team is dispatched to ensure that the excavator is aware of the pipeline prior to excavating. • The direct observation results in the excavator using digging methods, such a hand-digging to ensure that no damage occurs. • The direct observation also allows for inspection of the pipeline for damages during the excavation and after the work has been completed.

31. Infrastructure Replacement • Replacement of piping that may be easily damaged during excavation, such a vintage cast iron, or piping that may be difficult to locate, such as compression coupled steel, can reduce the potential threats posed by excavation. • To facilitate the replacement, the IL General Assembly passed SB 2266 • Allows for accelerated rate recovery of vintage, or difficult to locate pipeline infrastructure. • Eligible vintage pipe materials include: cast iron, wrought iron, ductile iron, unprotected coated steel, unprotected bare steel, mechanically coupled steel, copper and vintage plastics that may be susceptible to failure or difficult to locate using radio frequency locating equipment.

32. Rate Recovery Reporting Requirements • Reporting requirements have been included in the rate recovery mechanism to allow staff to determine if the replacement is actually resulting in reduced risk. • The utilities are required to submit annual reports associated with risk reduction metrics such as: the number of emergency calls and response times, the number of difficult to locate service lines replaced, miles of vintage material main replaced, number of vintage material service lines replaced, and third party damages to facilities. • If the operator is targeting the appropriate facilities, the reporting should demonstrate a reduction of leaks, a reduction in emergency calls due failures and a reduction of damages to the target group pipeline materials.
