[Docket No. P–94–1W; Notice 1]

Columbia Gulf Transmission

Company; Petition for Waiver

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs

Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of petition for waiver.

SUMMARY: Columbia Gulf Transmission

Company (Columbia Gulf) has

petitioned the Research and Special

Programs Administration for a waiver

from compliance with 49 CFR

192.612(b)(3), which requires that gas

pipeline facilities in the Gulf of Mexico

found to be exposed on the seabed or

constituting a hazard to navigation be

reburied so that the top of the pipe is

36 inches below the seabed for normal

excavation or 18 inches for rock

excavation.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before March 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

the Dockets Branch, U.S. Department of

Transportation, 400 Seventh Street,

SW., Washington, DC, 20590. All

comments and docket material may be

reviewed in the Dockets Branch, room

8426, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to

5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday,

except federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: L.E.

Herrick, 202–366–5523 regarding the

subject matter of this notice of proposed

rulemaking, or the Dockets Unit, 202–

366–5046, regarding copies of this

notice or other material that is

referenced herein.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During a

DOT required survey Columbia Gulf

discovered a 260 foot portion of 36-inch

Bluewater Mainline 200 did not meet

the 12-inch depth of cover requirements

of 49 CFR 192.612. At the point where

coverage is not sufficient, Columbia

Gulf’s pipeline crosses over a Trunkline

Gas Company 16-inch pipeline and an

Amoco Production Company abandoned

4-inch pipeline. Therefore, Columbia

Gulf cannot comply with the lowering

requirement without first lowering or

crossing below the Trunkline and

Amoco pipelines. This coincidental

lowering would present the potential for

damage to these lines which could

cause environmental pollution.

A waiver would allow Columbia Gulf

to cover 813 feet along the subject

pipeline segment with a concrete mesh

blanket alternative to the 36-inch depth

of cover requirement. The waiver would

also extend the time limitation required

for compliance with section 192.612.

A ‘‘concrete mesh blanket’’ unit is an

8′ × 20′ section constructed from 160

individually cast 17′′ × 17′′ × 9′′ beveled

concrete briquettes inter-connected with

3⁄4′′ polypropelene UV stabilized line. A

total of 41 (8′ × 20′ × 9′′) units of

‘‘concrete mesh blanket’’ will be

required to cover the 813’ of affected

pipeline. Each of the 41 units will be

hydrojetted flush with the seabed and

permanently anchored with six screw

anchors.

The top of the 12 inch pipeline the

mesh blanket is intended to cover is

presently buried 6 inches below

unconsolidated bottom in the Gulf of

Mexico from Lat. 29°30′21.46′′, Long.

92°22′54.08′′ to Lat. 29°30′13.4′′, Long.

92°22′53.98; Block 15, Vermillion area,

approximately 8 miles South of Pecan

Island, LA. The pipeline is coated with

concrete.

The application of the proposed

blanket would effectively cover the

pipeline to 15 inches (9′′ mattress + 6′′

cover). The required reburial is to 36

inches below the bottom or 18 inches

below a rock bottom.

RSPA proposes to grant the waiver

with the provision that Columbia Gulf

also install a rock shield over the

pipeline before installation of the

blanket. The rock shield must be of at

least 3⁄8 inches of thickness constructed

of an appropriate material, such as ‘‘Tuff

N Nuff’’ manufactured by Submar. With

the addition of the rock shield RSPA

believes there is no reason to anticipate

a lesser level of safety than would be

achieved by a 36′′ pipeline burial. In

view of these reasons and those stated

in the foregoing discussion, it appears

that a waiver of compliance with

§ 192.612(c)(3) would not be

inconsistent with pipeline safety, and as

a consequence, RSPA proposes to grant

the waiver.

Interested parties are invited to

comment on the proposed waiver by

submitting in duplicate such data,

views, or arguments as they may desire.

RSPA specifically requests comments

on the adequacy of the proposed

concrete mat to reduce the hazard to

navigation posed by the exposed

pipeline and on any impact the mat may

have on fishing vessel operations.

Comments should identify the Docket

and Notice numbers, and be submitted

to the Dockets Unit, Room 8417,

Research and Special Programs

Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW,

Washington, D.C. 20590.

All comments received before April

14, 1995 will be considered before final

action is taken. Late filed comments will

be considered so far as practicable. All

comments and other docketed material

will be available for inspection and

copying in Room 8419 between the

hours of 8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.

Monday through Friday, except federal

holidays before and after the closing

date. No public hearing is contemplated,

but one may be held at a time and place

set in a Notice in the Federal Register

if requested by an interested person

desiring to comment at a public hearing

and raising a genuine issue.

Director, Regulatory Programs, Office of

Pipeline Safety.
