Bill > S00029

This bill requires liquid petroleum pipeline facilities in New York to accelerate the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of equipment or pipelines that are leaking or at high risk of leaking. Key provisions include: developing prioritized timelines to repair all leaks based on severity, adopting a cost-recovery program to incentivize pipeline replacements, establishing a standard definition and methodology for calculating and reporting unaccounted-for gas, and requiring the use of best available technology to detect gas leaks. The bill also mandates that pipeline operators in cities with over 1 million residents establish a database of pipeline infrastructure that includes age and state of repair, and share this information with a coordinated building inspection data analysis system.
