Description

Phyllis F. Scheinberg (ed); James Ratzenberger (ed). The Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) administers the regulatory program to ensure the safe transport. of natural gas & haz. liquids by pipeline. In response to concern about the pipeline rupture that spilled 250,000 gallons of gas into a creek in Bellingham, WA in June 1999, killing 3 people, this report reviews the OPS’s performance in regulating pipeline safety. It examined: the extent of major pipeline accidents from 1989-1998; OPS’s implementation of the 1996 act’s risk mgmt. demo. program; the OPS’s inspection & enforcement efforts since the act’s implementation; the OPS’s responsiveness to recommendations from the Nat. Transport. Safety Board.
