CONSIDER APPROVAL OR OTHER ACTION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE <br />GRANTING A PERMIT DNDER SECTION 18-A-E OF ORDINANCE NO. 915, <br />"PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION," TO CONSTRIICT A 12-INCH PIPE LINE <br />FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF LIQIIEFIED PETROLEIIM GAS AND AN 8- <br />INCH PIPE LINE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF ETHYLENE TO DOW <br />PIPELINE COMPANY (Ord. 96-915-NN) - B. Gillett <br />Director of Public Works Steve Gillett reviewed the summary <br />and recommendation for the request. Mr. Gillett reported Dow <br />had requested three pipe line transportation permits, but one <br />of the lines, the 10 inch HCL, is located in the Battleground <br />Industrial District and is not subject to the requirements of <br />Ordinance 915. Therefore, the request before Council is for <br />two pipe line transportation permits. <br />Dow Chemical Company representative, Ms. Flo Caldwell, spoke <br />regarding the request. Ms. Caldwell clarified that Dow pipe <br />line represents their natural gas pipe lines, and this request <br />is from Dow Hydrocarbons & Resources, Inc. which handles <br />liquid lines. Ms. Caldwell addressed Councilperson Thrower's <br />question regarding how many lines Dow has in the corridor. Ms <br />Caldwell stated, "We have one other line in the corridor that <br />goes from the Lomax station or the one on Underwood Road to <br />the west. It is a 16-inch line. I do not know how many other <br />Companies have lines there. In the corridor going to the east <br />there is only one of our lines; the new 12-inch line which <br />goes to the east and crosses 225. So, we have one going West <br />and one going East." Councilperson Thrower said everything <br />Ayes: Councilpersons Sutherland, Cooper, Thrower, <br />Maxwell, Clarke and Mayor Pro Tem McLaughlin <br />Nays: None <br />
