PIPA’s Roots – TRB 281
TRB 281 - Transmission Pipelines and Land Use A Risk-Informed Approach
• Promote a risk-based decision framework
• Involve public and private stakeholders
• Develop practical guidance for use/enhancement, specification, acquisition, development, and maintenance of pipeline rights-of-way
• Create model local zoning ordinances, planning policies and state legislation that could be adopted for land uses near pipelines (i.e. setbacks)

Task Team Objectives
• Protecting CommunitiesWhat should pipeline safety stakeholders do, or avoid doing, adjacent to the pipeline ROW to reduce the risk to communities?
• Protecting Transmission PipelinesWhat should pipeline safety stakeholders do, or avoid doing, on the ROW to reduce the risk to transmission pipelines?
• CommunicationsHow should the risks to transmission pipelines and communities be communicated to pipeline safety stakeholders?

Operator Practice Highlights• Outreach to raise awareness, communicate risk,
educate, share map data and establish contacts with governments and developers/owners PRIOR to land use changes
• Engage in early consultation• Manage encroachments• Notify land owners prior to maintenance activities• Define blanket easements• Balance rights during ROW acquisition • Manage land documents
…safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the Nation's pipeline transportation system
Government Practice Highlights

stakeholder consultation into development process
• Map pipelines & easements• Encourage development that mitigates risk to
public and pipelines• Support operators communication to land
owner/developers
…safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the Nation's pipeline transportation system
Property Owner/Developer Practice Highlights
• Gather pipeline data• Consult with operator prior to land use changes• Recognize pipeline risk• Understand easements and ROW acquisition
rights and responsibilities• Develop and landscape to mitigate impact of a
pipeline release and facilitate emergency response
• Record land use agreements
…safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the Nation's pipeline transportation system
Damage Prevention Highlights
• Mark edge of the pipeline right-of-way during construction
• Meet on-site prior to excavating and blasting• Mandatory one-call participation• Enforce higher penalties for one-call violations
resulting in damage to high priority subsurface installations
…safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the Nation's pipeline transportation system
Setbacks
• Used to separate community from risk• Setbacks paper delivered at meeting in
Kansas City, MO• No fixed setback recommended• PIPA planning guidelines provide better
protection for both pipelines and communities.

Communication Plan & Next Steps
• Task Team Teleconferences Jan. 13-15
• Communicate Recommended Practices to All Stakeholder Groups
• Support Implementation of Recommended Practices by Stakeholders
• Incorporate Learning and Feedback to Refine Guidance Over Time
