Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77572-1'115 ..... Dear Mr. Gillett: ExxonMobil Pipeline Company (EMPCo) owns and operates a 10" Refined Products Pipeline which crosses through the city of La Porte as shown on the attached vicinity plat. This pipeline was installed by Humble Oil and Refining Company in the 1940's and was assigned to EMPCo in 1965. EMPCo's existing permit covering these locations is dated July 13, 1942 and is with Harris County. As a part of our maintenance practices we have conducted a recent pipeline survey on the 10" pipeline and have determined that the Fairmont Parkway Pipeline Crossing needs to be replaced with a new crossing. This new crossing will be located within our existing right-of-way at Fairmont Parkway. It is my understanding from our recent conversations that the City of La Porte has a city ordinance that requires pipeline companies to apply for a permit if a new or replacement pipeline is to be installed across or along or under any public place, i.e., street, R1W, park, etc. Therefore I am, by evidence of this letter, submitting the required information, drawings and fees associated with the permit ordinance process and EMPCo is formally requesting that the City of La Porte issue EMPCo a permit to replace its existing pipeline crossing referenced hereinabove with a new pipeline crossing to be located with in our existing right-of-ways. EMPCo plans on beginning the work as soon as the City of La Porte and Harris County complete their permit process. Fairmont Parkway (Key May 578-H)) will be bored and the depth, location & length of the crossing is detailed on the attached plan and profile drawing for Fairmont Parkway. Once the crossing is complete EMPCo will complete the necessary work to tie-in the new pipeline crossing to the existing pipeline then abandoned the old crossing by removing the old pipeline and filling the existing casing with cement. An ExxonMobil Subsidiary e e ~ ... The crossing will be replaced with 10" carbon steel welded pipe, Grade X-42 SCH 40, Yield 42,000 Tensil 60,000 with a wall thickness of (.365). This pipeline currently transports refined petroleum products and is capable of operating at a MOP of 1200psi. The approximate temperature of the products being transported averages between 50 to 85 degrees depending on time of year.
