Planning Near Transmission Pipelines
Most pipelines were put in rural areas
![Page 4: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
But now growth is encroaching on many pipelines
![Page 5: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
This creates an increased risk that communities should consider when planning
![Page 6: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How much risk is there?• The chance of a pipeline failing in any one
specific place is extremely small, so the risk is very very small
• But if a pipeline does fail the consequences can be catastrophic
Each pipeline has different risks, and should be considered separately

The main pipelines through the state include:• The Olympic Pipe Line
• William’s – Northwest Pipeline
• TransCanada's GTN System
• ConocoPhillips Pipe Line
• Chevron Pipe Line
• Kinder Morgan - Trans Mountain pipeline
In addition there are 11 smaller transmission pipelines operated in the state that range in length from 1 to 36 miles

Two ways to protect communities
• Protect the pipelines from damage so they stay safe
• Protect people near pipelines in case something happens
![Page 24: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Consultation Zone
A local government may determine the appropriate width of the consultation zone based on its own research and discussions with pipeline operators and other local government agencies.
![Page 25: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Early Consultation
can be a Win, Win,
Win
![Page 30: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Allowing space for repairs
![Page 31: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Small things can make a big difference
![Page 32: Informed Planning Near Pipelines mrsc/Subjects/PubSafe/transpipes.aspx](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816291550346895dd2fe61/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Bottom Line - Better planning can help ensure safe fuel transport and
avoid tragedies
