Overview Overview

  • Transmissions lines are relative safe, but failures can be

catastrophic.

  • The U.S. is heavily dependent on pipelines (using 1.8

million total miles of pipelines to transport fuel supplies.)

PIPA Consultation zone practice PIPA Consultation zone practice

Local governments have a key role in helping ensure the safety of people, property, and transmission pipeline infrastructure. PIPA recommends that local governments adopt ordinances that define and establish transmission pipelines consultation zones.
