Land Use Planning for Pipelines
|
The presence of a pipeline forms a relationship between pipeline operator, local government and property owner. How this relationship is managed can affect directly the safe operation of the pipeline and consequently the public health and safety of the surrounding community. | ||||
| In 2004 and 2005, a group of city, county, state and industry representatives conducted a series of workshops throughout the state for local government officials, talking in particular with planning, permitting and public works sections. The purpose of these workshops was to exchange ideas and explore the range of tools available to manage and make effective decisions concerning land use in proximity to transmission pipelines. This report is the product of that research.
