I want this to happen, but I suppose, it is this "better late than never" scenarios.In response to last week of the devastating explosion of a gas pipeline in San Bruno, the Department of transportation has sworn a plan to improve safety in gas pipelines einzuführen.neben other improvements would the proposal to increase the maximum fine for pipeline injuries, deaths or large environmental damage of $ 1 million to $ 2.5 million and the DOT until 2015 40 Security regulators added.
The new security improvements are an important step forward, but it is worth noting that PG & E, which has the pipeline, the last week in San Bruno exploded monitored, a story moving existing safety standards:
In 2008 commissioned the pipeline and hazardous materials safety administration which governs a report of the country's gas pipelines, which found that the seams within pipes with little obvious damage, deterioration can leave occur insensitive to leaks or more serious damage. In 2004 the PHMSA requires that all large gas television transmission companies "risk-based assessment" for high risk run situations in populated areas. Seems like the Wall Street Journal reported, "it that none of the special measures for the San Bruno pipeline has been concluded that exploded."
The new proposal would probably not apply to PG-& -e-when the gas pipeline explosion in the last week San Bruno.But the Bay area - utilities - joined company ready to take responsibility for their role in the accident."If it is ultimately determined that we were responsible for the cause of the incident, we will take responsibility", the company in a statement said last Thursday.And earlier this week, helping PG-& -e-$ aside 100 million to reconstruct the city of San Bruno.
But with four dead, more than 50 injured and more than 40 houses destroyed, it is important for Government to enact stricter laws, these accidents are the power of utilities for more security aware otherwise always auftreten.Auch this month have pipelines in Canada and the American Midwest pipeline has numerous dangerous pipeline explosions, including the 2004 Walnut Creek pipeline leaks berichtet.Und over the past decade-explosion killed five leading to large claims that partly by GJEL processed lawyers, Jim Larsen and Luke Ellis shown.
The need for a stricter safety regulations of the pipeline is klar.Es is to be hoped that the problem of countless political interests and Indusy obstacles that would bring California consumers at risk is still stuck not.
