PIPA Report Published

PHMSA officially released the Pipelines & Informed Planning Alliance (PIPA) report. A press release was posted to the PHMSA web site. The PIPA Report is available in its entirety on the Land Use Planning page within PHMSA’s Stakeholder Communications website; or, you can access these pages more directly by visiting pipelineinformedplanning.com.

PIPA was sponsored by the United States Department of Transportation; Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Office of Pipeline Safety (PHMSA). This report was the result of approximately 130 stakeholder participants who worked to develop land use practices for consideration of local governments, property developers and owners, transmission pipeline operators and real estate boards. The stakeholder participants were divided among three task teams which addressed issues based on a consensus approach:

  • Protecting Communities – Issues relating to land use planning and development on lands adjacent to transmission pipeline ROW
  • Protecting Transmission Pipelines – Issues relating to land use and development activities on the pipeline ROW
  • Communication – Issues relating to communication of information among pipeline safety stakeholders
