The Pipeline Safety
Program has been in existence in the State of Louisiana since the early
1970s. It was granted and is now authorized under the Federal certification
process found in Chapter 601, Title 49 of the United States Code. The
Federal/State partnership, in developing and maintaining the program in
Louisiana, has helped to improve and enhance the safety of the public
and preservation of the environment in the State of Louisiana. This section
is responsible for regulating over 400 different intrastate pipeline operators
to ensure safety and compliance with the regulations are achieved. Our
duties consist of pipeline operator inspections, compliance and enforcement,
safety programs, accident investigations, and record maintenance and reporting.
