Local governments, planners, home builders, real estate agents, property developers, transmission pipeline operators, environmental & public safety advocates, and State and Federal agencies all have expertise needed to reduce the risk to communities and transmission pipelines.

Three PIPA Task Teams will work on the following topics:

Protecting Communities What should pipeline safety stakeholders do, or avoid doing, adjacent to the pipeline ROW to reduce the risk to communities?

Protecting Transmission Pipelines What should pipeline safety stakeholders do, or avoid doing, on the ROW to reduce the risk to transmission pipelines while preserving environmental resources?

Risk Communication How should the risks to transmission pipelines and communities be communicated to pipeline safety stakeholders?

January 15 (8 am) to 17 (no later than noon), 2008
