Regulatory TREND. Mapping Pipelines in the Blue Columbine State.

The catalyst to mapping pipelines: The 2017 fatal Firestone house explosion

The Governor’s Order: find and test all pipelines within 1,000 feet of homes

The Oil and Gas Regulator Response Rules will:

• require companies to report to regulators where pipelines installed after May 2018 will be
• require known pipelines be reported to regulators by October 2019
  • any additional knowledge about pipelines has to be reported
• Major leaks must be reported within 24 hours

There’s a new task force for leak detection that will:

• consider required inspection technology
