Or. Admin. Code § 860-031-0005 - Inspection of Gas Pipeline Operator Facilities
(1) Priority in inspections will be given to
those systems and plants with greater risk potential. The following factors
will be considered in determining potential risk: the size of the plant or
system and the number of customers it serves, the ratio of total pipe to
cathodically protected pipe, the ratio of total pipe to coated pipe, the leaks
per mile of main, the percentage of unaccounted-for gas volume, and the number
of past accidents.
(2) Inspections
will include reviews of the operator's standard practices and records
concerning design, construction, operation, maintenance, inspection, emergency
procedures, and damage prevention programs. Field inspections may include, but
are not limited to: checks of cathodic protection levels, construction
practices, barricading or protection of equipment from damage, witnessing
operational checks of overpressure protection and regulating equipment,
odorization, leak surveys, and other field functions. Any documentation,
records, or physical evidence necessary to support allegations of noncompliance
may be obtained by the investigator during the inspection or at any later
date.
