Route Selection
We developed the proposed pipeline route to meet the Project objectives while minimizing environmental impacts and adhering to FERC guidance for pipeline routing. To date, our company has refined the planning for the proposed pipeline route; and further refinement will continue, as warranted, throughout the development process.
Our company has begun supplementing initial geographic information system (GIS)-based work by conducting additional desktop analysis of constructability and avoidance of sensitive environmental resources, special use areas, and congested areas. Additionally, field surveys are currently underway to further evaluate sensitive areas along the route so that the pipeline might avoid significant areas of concern.
FERC policy gives significant consideration to the use, widening, or extension of existing right of way over developing a new right of way in order to reduce potential impacts on sensitive resources. Therefore, a major objective of the Project during route identification was collocation of the pipeline to the maximum extent possible. Approximately eighty-four percent (84%) of the pipeline route is collocated with or parallel to existing utility rights-of-way.
DeLa Express LLC reserves the right to alter or adjust the route, as appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Pipeline Safety
The safety of the public as well as our contractors and employees is a top priority. The Project will be constructed to comply with all safety standards outlined by the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and will utilize proven technologies that have operated safely for decades while also leveraging the latest advancements in design. The Project will be inspected by regulatory agencies, including PHMSA, both during construction and operations.
