refined petroleum products to

consumers in the greater Spokane area;

and (3) transportation of military jet fuel

to Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane.

The pipeline now supplies

approximately 34 percent of all

consumer gasoline and diesel fuel to the

Spokane market, 100 percent of the

military jet fuel to the Fairchild Air

Force Base, and 100 percent of the

commercial jet fuel to the Grant County

Airport, which supports the Boeing

Aircraft and the Japan Air Lines pilot

test programs.

The Proposed Action would allow

continued use of the existing rights-ofway, with additional safety

improvements designed to improve the

maintenance of the pipe, the detection

of leaks and ruptures, should they

occur, and the containment of any

product spills. These safety

improvements include: (1) Hydrostatic

pressure testing every 10 years to

identify weak place in the pipeline; (2)

instrumented ‘‘smart pig’’ testing every

10 years to detect areas of corrosion that

might lead to leakage or rupture; (3)

monthly ‘‘shut-in’’ testing to detect low

volume leakage; (4) close interval survey

of cathodic protection every 10 years;

and (5) better, all-weather, spill

contingency planning.

The No Action alternative would

deny renewal of the rights-of-way.

Petroleum products would thus have to

reach the Spokane area markets through

alternate modes of transportation.

Because the response to market

vacuum resulting from this alternative

would be market-driven, it is difficult to

predict. Most likely, for the first six

months following cessation of pipeline

service from Missoula, Montana,

product would be supplied by truck

from Missoula and from Pasco,

Washington; by rail car from Seattle,

Washington, or Portland, Oregon; and

by a slight increase in flow in the

Chevron pipeline from Pasco to

Spokane. In the six month to four year

period, it is likely that flow in the

Chevron pipeline would increase and

that shipment by barge would replace

shipment by rail, thus increasing traffic

on the Columbia River from Portland to

Pasco.

A Modified Existing Route Alternative

would use the safety improvements

identified in the proposed action. It

would also re-route the pipeline around

five identified sensitive areas in order to

reduce (1) the chance of rupture due to

stream scour and/or ground movement

during earthquakes and (2) the exposure

of people, cultural and aquatic

resources, and other sensitive receptors

in those areas to the adverse effects of

petroleum products. This alternative

would add four remote control block

valves and two new check valves,

designed to reduce the volume of

product spilled by drain-down in the

event of rupture.
