NOTES
Beginning
with 1985 data, pipeline incidents are credited to the year in which they
occurred, not the year in which the report was received. Gas numbers
represent sum of transmission and gathering and distribution operators.
Property damage includes, but is not limited to, damage to the
operator's facilities and to the property of others; gas lost; restoration of
service and relighting; facility repair and replacement; leak locating;
right-of-way cleanup; and environmental cleanup and damage.
Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
