This mapping application is intended to be an easy way emergency response officials can provide information about Identified Sites. This registry may be used to submit information about any type of site (building or outside area). For security reasons, the general public will not be given access to information stored in this registry.
Pipelines are the safest and most reliable way to transport energy products, including: natural gas, crude oil, liquid petroleum products, and chemical products. Pipelines are primarily underground, which keeps them away from public contact and accidental damage. It is also a fact that pipelines can move large volumes of product at a significantly lower operating cost when compared to other modes of transportation. Despite safety and efficiency statistics, increases in energy consumption and population growth near pipelines present the potential for a pipeline incident.
This document contains background information about natural gas pipeline integrity management programs and "Identified Sites". This information is intended to provide emergency response officials with an overview of why pipeline companies are asking emergency responders about identified sites.
