Q: H. What about the safety of these projects?
A: During the construction of natural gas pipelines and storage facilities, FERC oversees safety matters.

Once a pipeline becomes operational, the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety has oversight of safety matters of interstate pipelines. FERC oversees the safety of Liquified Natural Gas terminals during construction and operation. It works closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and State Officials.

FERC has a comprehensive link to safety programs
that covers construction, maintenance and operations. All dams are routinely inspected.
