City Secretary
BP Amoco Corporation, 18 Inch Refined Petroleum Products Pipeline
Pipeline Permit Ordinance Request
APL-3348-01-001
City Secretary:
The BP Amoco Corporation (BP Amoco) has requested the assistance of Universal Ensco, Inc.
(UBI) in the engineering and design of relocating one (1) eighteen inch (18") refined petroleum
products pipeline. The Union Pacific Railroad is expanding the Strang Rail Yard and has
requested BP Amoco to relocate its pipeline. BP Amoco is submitting to the La Porte City
Council its Pipeline Permit Ordinance Request.
The present 18 inch pipeline is in the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way from Fairmont
Parkway northward to Texas Highway 225 and parallels Texas Highway 225 within the Union
Pacific Railroad right-of-way to within approximately one mile of Beltway 8. At this point it
crosses Texas Highway 225 and enters Shell Refining Company property.
The proposed pipeline route within the City of La Porte begins near the intersection of Fairmont
Parkway and Union Pacific Railroad crossing the Union Pacific Railroad, Harris County Flood
Control Ditch (AI04-07) and Bay Area Boulevard. The route parallels Fairmont Parkway on the
. south side for several miles going west crossing Bay Park Road, Big Island Slough (Harris
County Flood Control Ditch BI06-00), and Underwood Road to a H. L. & P. Corridor where it
turns north. The route continues north crossing Fairmont Parkway, Willow Spring Bayou (Harris
County Flood Control Ditch B112-02), and Spencer Highway. The pipeline leaves the City of
La Porte and continues north in the H. L. & P corridor.

The proposed new route and the existing pipeline route for the relocated portion of the 18"
pipeline are shown on the attached drawing numbers 3348D-1503 and 3348D-1504. The
pipeline is owned and operated by:
Amoco Pipeline Company
28100 Torch Parkway, Suite 800
Warrenville, IL 60555
This name and address is requested to be used on the permit documents.
The new pipeline specifications are:
. Mainline - 18.000" O.D. x 0.281" W.T., API-5L-X42, ERW, with 14-16 mils ofFBE
coating.
. Exxon Corridor - 18.000" O.D. x 0.344" W.T., API-5L-X42, ERW, with 14-16 mils
ofFBE coating.
. Exxon Corridor Road Crossings - 18.000" O.D. x 0.500" W.T., API-5L-X42, ERW,
with 14-16 mils of FBE coating, and Powercrete Coating.
. Road Crossings - 18.000" O. D. x 0.344" W.T., API-5L-X42, ERW, with 14-16 mils
ofFBE coating, and Powercrete Coating.
. Directional Drills -18.000" a.D. x .500 W.T., API-5L-X42, ERW, with 14 - 16 mils
of FBE coating, and Powercrete Coating.
The pipeline will transport refined liquid petroleum product such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel,
heating oil, and kerosene. Flowing temperature of the product will be ambient ground
temperature between 600 and 800 F. The new pipeline is being designed and constructed to a
maximum allowable operating pressure of 944 psig under the Code of Federal Regulation, Title
49, Part 195, "Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline", AS ME B31.4, "Liquid
Transportation Systems For Hydrocarbons, Liquid Petroleum Gas, Anhydrous Ammonia, and

cover; and all permitted ditches from the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) will
pass 5 feet below the HCFCD's ultimate design. All street crossings will be conventionally
bored. The Union Pacific Railroad crossing, HCFCD Ditch A104-07-00, Big Island Slough
(HCFCD Ditch B 1 06-00-00) and HCFCD Ditch B 1 09-00-00 will be directionally drilled or
guided pilot bored.
BP Amoco proposes to start construction in late 1st Quarter or early 2nd Quarter, 2001.
Construction time is estimated at seventy-two (72) working days with completion and
demobilization in June, 2001.
The abandoned 18" pipeline will be emptied by displacing the line fill with nitrogen, after which
the pipeline will be pumped full of concrete and abandoned in place. There will be
approximately nine (9) miles of abandoned pipeline in the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way.
A check in the amount of $500.00 is enclosed for the permit fee of $300.00 and the first year
annual fee of $200.00. Copies of permit drawings for the Union Pacific Railroad and Harris
County Flood Control District are included for those crossings located in the City of La Porte.
It is hoped this application will meet with the City of La Porte's City Council approval. If
additional information is required, please contact:
