Do you know where Running Horse pipelines are located on your property? In your community?
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, pipelines are the safest and most cost-efficient way to transport liquid energy products. Running Horse’s monitoring, inspection, and detection programs are designed to keep our pipelines safe — but those who live and work near our lines can also play an important role in pipeline safety.
Farmers
You’ve been farming your property for years and know the lay of the land, but do you know the depth of underground utilities on your property? Can you be sure that farming activities will not damage underground lines?
Over time, erosion or other land contour changes can reduce soil cover, potentially exposing you and your workers to danger should you strike a pressurized refined liquid petroleum products line.
Typical farm activities that can damage underground pipelines include:
- Deep plowing
- Drain tile installation or repair
- Cleaning drainage culverts or creeks
- Construction of a pond or well
- Installation of fence posts
- Sub-soiling
- Tree and stump removal
It took you years to build your farm. Don’t take any chances. Please call 811 for any activity that involves digging.
