The pipeline will be used to transport liquefied petroleum <br />gases from an existing pipeline in the Pasadena Refinery area to an existing pipeline in La Porte north of SH <br />225. <br /> <br />The route through the City of La Porte is shown on Exhibit "0" of this agenda packet and described in the <br />permit application form (see Exhibit "B"). The 8" pipeline starts at an existing valve site in the Pasadena <br />Refinery area and runs to a surface site in La Porte. The 6" pipeline exits the surface site and ties into an <br />existing pipeline south of Union Pacific in La Porte. The 8" and 6" pipelines will be installed within an <br />existing pipeline corridor as well as easements secured from Centerpoint Energy throughout the entire <br />route. Directional boring will be utilized crossing Big Island Slough (8106-00-00) to a depth of 21.2' under <br />the existing flow line of the channel and 7.0' under the channel's ultimate flow line. Old Underwood Road <br />and Old La Porte Road will be the only publiC streets in La Porte that will be crossed. The 8" pipeline will <br />operate at a maximum operating pressure of 1480 PSI, will be tested to a minimum 2220 PSI, and have a <br />minimum yield strength of 52,000 PSI. The 6" pipeline will operate at a maximum pressure of 1440 PSI, will <br />be tested to a minimum 2180 PSI, and have a minimum yield strength of 42,000 PSI. <br /> <br />In reviewing the permit application and plans as submitted, Staff has determined no conflict is anticipated <br />with existing City infrastructure or existing pipelines. This request meets all requirements of Ordinance <br />2004-2755 and the pipeline application fee of $1000.00 has been paid. Any future relocation of the pipeline <br />permitted within the City, State or County rights-of-way shall be at the sole expense of the Permittee. In <br />accordance with Section 102-236 and 102-237, City Council must review and approve the permit <br />application. If approved, City Council will thereby authorize the Director of Planning or his designee to <br />execute the permit in duplicate originals, one which shall be delivered to the Permittee and one which shall <br />be retained by the City. <br /> <br /> <br />ordinance authorizing the Planning Director to execute a Pipeline Permit as requested by HSC <br />rship, L.P. for installation of an 8" and a 6" LPG Pipeline. <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />IJ.; /IJ 101 <br />Da~ <br />
