Nature of special permit
49 CFR 192.150 ............
To authorize the extension of a special permit
issued to WGP on June 10, 2011, from its current expiration date of June 10, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
PHMSA issued the June 10, 2011 special permit
to WGP to waive compliance from Federal
Regulations in 49 CFR 192.150 for one (1)
segment of natural gas transmission pipeline,
the Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco)
Mainline ‘‘A’’ located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Federal pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR 192.150 require that new
transmission pipelines or replacement components of a transmission line be designed and
constructed to accommodate the passage of
instrumented internal inspection devices. This
includes the replacement of line pipe, valves,
fittings, or other pipeline components.
The current configuration of the pipeline does not
allow passage of commercially available internal inspection devices and, as a result, the
pipeline is not in compliance with PHMSA regulations. The special permit would allow WGP
to replace an approximate 2,100-foot segment
of 30-inch pipeline with a 42-inch diameter
pipeline at the Brandywine Creek, in Chester
County, Pennsylvania. The 42-inch replacement pipeline would accommodate internal inspection devices.
