The pipeline will be used to transport liquefied petroleum gases <br />from an existing pipeline in La Porte. The pipeline then connects to a surface site, exits the surface site and <br />continues on until tying into an existing 6" pipeline south of Union Pacific in La Porte. <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 6" pipeline will be installed within easements granted by <br />Allwaste Tank Cleaning, Inc., Louisiana Chemical Company, and Union Pacific Railroad. Old La Porte <br />Road and Houston Street are the only roadways in La Porte that will be crossed by this pipeline. The <br />pipeline will operate at a maximum operating pressure of 1440 PSI, will be tested to a minimum of 2180 PSI, <br />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-ot-way shall be at the sole expense ot the Permittee. In <br />accordance with Section 102-236 and 102-237, City Council must review and approve the permit <br />application. It 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 />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />
