Due to the age of Panhandle’s existing line and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Integrity Management Plan regulations, Panhandle reduced the operating pressure on one line by 20 percent in 2004. Additional measures to mitigate risk for High Consequence Areas must be implemented by end of 2011. Panhandle’s project purpose is to restore long-haul transportation capacity from Tuscola heading east to Michigan by replacing the existing diameter pipeline with larger diameter pipeline.

While the footprint of the facility remains virtually unchanged, the BRA is requesting authorization for 402 total boat slips. The remainder of the application remains unchanged as the slips will be constructed off-site and floated into place, and no dredging or excavation will be necessary. l.
