Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this program is to collect information about Identified Sites from emergency response officials. This information will be used in the development of educational programs related to pipeline safety. The programs will be directed toward the general public in potentially high consequence areas near pipelines.

This registry will concentrate on collecting information about unmarked outside areas where people congregate and places occupied by persons of limited mobility. The information collected may be used by pipeline operators to supplement activities required by their integrity management programs.

Program Elements

Members must submit information indicating the locations where site information is desired. This information must be in an electronic format suitable for import into common GIS applications. If pipeline centerline information is submitted, a standard buffer of one quarter mile either side of the pipeline will be applied.

The emergency response agencies having jurisdiction in these areas will be identified.

A request will be sent to the agencies asking them to enter site information in the web based mapping application. The request will be sent via email or direct mail during the fourth quarter of the year.

Members will be sent site information from the mapping application. Sensitive information will not be made available to the general public.

The Association will use this information to develop educational programs directed toward the general public in these areas.

Dues

Member dues for participation in this program are $100.00 per member/county. Members will be invoiced by mid February.
