House
Bill 2982, 83rd Texas Legislature directed the Railroad Commission to regulate gathering
lines in Class 1 and rural locations based on risk. The Pipeline Safety
Division will be hosting a series of workshops, conducted by Polly McDonald,
Director of the Pipeline Safety Division, to discuss the implementation of this
new responsibility. The workshops will provide a forum for discussing what
information is needed to determine risk for these gathering pipelines; what is
the best way to obtain this information; how should the information be analyzed
and risk-ranked; and what is the time line for implementation. Following a
brief presentation, there will be an opportunity for questions and answers.
There are several dates and locations scheduled at this time to select from, as
shown below; all workshops will commence at 10:00 a.m. Additional locations and
dates may be added in the coming weeks. Please go online at http://hb2982-workshop.eventbrite.com

that you will need to attend the meeting. Seating will be limited, so please
register early.
