CORE INFORMATION

• ENHANCE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF PIPELINES AND
  PIPELINE SAFETY
• IMPROVE STAKEHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
• Educate residents about pipelines and provide
  information about what they can do ---or not
  do---to enhance pipeline safety

Living with Pipelines

• Buried in yards throughout St. Peters are
  electrical and cable wires, telephone lines, and
  natural gas and petroleum pipelines. Although
  cutting a wire could be serious and expensive to
  repair, rupturing or otherwise damaging a
  pipeline could pose a significant risk to public
  safety and to the environment. Excavation damage
  can also cause interruption to vital services in
  your community and can involve tremendous repair
  costs.

Pipeline 101

• Pipelines are really the energy lifelines of
  almost every daily activity. Pipelines play a
  role in everyone's lives and are essential to the
  nation's industries. Yet few people are aware of
  the work done by the country's 200,000-mile
  petroleum pipeline network that delivers the
  products that are integral parts of America's
  economy. It is a network that delivers the
  nation's crude oil and petroleum products (such
  as gasoline, jet fuel, home heating oil)
  reliably, safely, efficiently, and economically.

How Safe are Pipelines?

• The environmental and safety record of oil
  pipelines is excellent. Pipeline systems are
  recognized as both the safest transportation mode
  and the most economical way of distributing the
  vast quantities of oil from production fields to
  refineries and from refineries to consumers.
• Oil pipelines are usually the only feasible way
  to transport significant volumes by land over
  long distances. Without pipelines, our streets
  and highways would be overwhelmed by the trucks
  trying to keep up with the nations demand for
  petroleum products.
• The safety performance of the oil pipeline
  industry has improved substantially over the last
  30 years with even greater gains in the last few
  years.

DAMAGE PREVENTION

• EDUCATE ENCOURAGE BEST PRACTICES IN
• DAMAGE PREVENTION
• Provide narrative on importance of damage
  prevention.
• Link to Missouri One Call.
• Link to information resources on best practices
  in damage prevention.
• Link to Citys notification application and
  required process for excavation within 25 feet of
  pipelines.

Communication is Key

• Construction work in proximity to a pipeline can
  affect the integrity and safety of underground
  pipelines.
• The primary tool for avoiding damages to
  underground facilities is timely communication
  between excavators and the owners of the
  facilities.
• Most damage to pipelines is avoidable through use
  of the Missouri One Call System. Missouri One
  Call facilitates this communication process by
  enabling an excavator to place just one call,
  prior to digging, to request that all underground
  facilities in the area of a planned excavation be
  located and marked.
• The Missouri One Call System is a free public
  service established to provide underground
  utility marking for those who plan to dig or
  excavate.

11
Notification

• St. Peters ordinance requires a notification
  application be submitted to the City before
  excavation can occur within 25 feet of pipeline.
• The application must be submitted not less than 2
  days prior to the work and not more than 10 days
  prior.
• There is no fee for the application, however it
  is required to be submitted and subject to
  penalty for failure to apply.
• The notice then gets posted to the Citys web
  site and email notifications of the application
  are provided to anyone who has voluntarily signed
  up to be on the notification list.

12
GIS MAPPING

• ENCOURAGE SOUND LAND USE DECISIONS
• Provide an interactive tool to mapping system to
  access standards maps identifying pipelines or to
  create a custom map to meet a specialized need or
  interest.

  information to facilitate land use planning by
  developers/owners interested in developing
  property.
• Link to current zoning regulations
• Link to specific land use ordinances and
  requirements for development on or adjacent to
  pipelines.
