Pipeline Safety – General Description
 
● Empire Pipeline has a commitment to maintain high standards in operation, maintenance, and inspection procedures for its natural gas pipelines and associated facilities in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and standards. These procedures are necessary to be in compliance with the following regulations as applicable.
 
● 49 CFR Part 191 - Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline; Reports of Leaks.
 
● 49 CFR Part 192 - Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline; Minimum Federal Safety Standards.
 
These procedures involve operating and maintenance requirements for the safe operation of Empire's natural gas gathering pipelines and associated facilities.
 
Although these procedures have been derived from practical experience to conform to regulatory requirements, they are not intended to be all-inclusive, or to overrule the application of competent judgment.
 
Furthermore, our Operations, Maintenance & Emergency Plan Manual actively implements policies, procedures and practices to achieve our goal of full compliance.
 
● Empire Pipeline owns and operates an intrastate gas gathering pipeline system within the State of Texas which is subject to 49 CFR Part 192 and 16 TAC Chapter 8. The company’s philosophy has always been and will continue to be to operate their pipelines and facilities in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations.
 
● The integrity and safe operation of the pipeline and facilities is of utmost importance. As such, Empire has developed a Pipeline Integrity Assessment & Management Plan and an Emergency Response Plan to meet the regulatory requirements. All applicable pipelines and facilities shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the requirements of these and other contingency plans.
