Main Objective
The research was a three-fold process: (1) develop generic encroachment threat scenarios based on actual conditions in New Jersey, (2) develop an in-house workshop to identify potential threats to pipelines from changes in land usage, and to develop a consolidated, prioritized list of threats, and (3) hold a meeting between TETCO and PHMSA staff to plan a subsequent workshop involving New Jersey land-use officials.
Public Abstract
The research was a three-fold process: (1) develop generic encroachment threat scenarios based on actual conditions in New Jersey, (2) develop an in-house workshop to identify potential threats to pipelines from changes in land usage, and to develop a consolidated, prioritized list of threats, and (3) hold a meeting between TETCO and PHMSA staff to plan a subsequent workshop involving New Jersey land-use officials. The purpose of the project was to develop guidelines that would help increase awareness of the potential threats to pipeline incidents (e.g., the Edison incident). Such awareness can be facilitated by improving the awareness of land-use officials regarding pipeline encroachment issues so they can assist in reducing the threats to pipelines as part of land-use planning.
