Safety Policy 

Black Hills Energy’s safety mission is to be recognized 

as a safety leader among investor-owned electric and 

natural gas utilities by providing an environment that 

is free from recognized hazards for both employees 

and customers. 

Black Hills Energy has detailed emergency plans and 

procedures and is committed to sharing this 

information with local officials in order to have the 

best coordination possible with them during an 

emergency situation. Black Hills Energy offers 

training on natural gas to all the fire departments in 

the communities it serves and welcomes any 

opportunity to educate the public about its product. 

Black Hills Energy employees perform many tasks on 

a daily basis to assure the integrity of its pipeline 

system. Not only are these tasks necessary to ensure 

public safety, they are also a demonstration of Black 

Hills Energy’s commitment to protecting the 

environment and abundant natural resources that 

surround us. 

Emergency Response 

According to National Transportation Safety Board 

statistics, pipelines are the safest method for 

transporting natural gas products. Pipelines are 

monitored in the field through regular patrolling 

and scheduled maintenance. 

Integrity Management Plans are implemented to 

further protect zones defined by pipeline regulators 

as High Consequence Areas. Those include – but 

may not be limited to – playgrounds, hospitals, 

schools, day care facilities, retirement facilities and 

correctional facilities. 

Public Awareness Program 

Black Hills Energy’s Public Awareness Program was 

developed under the guidance of API RP1162 to 

enhance public environmental and safety, property 

protection through increased public awareness and 

knowledge of stakeholder audiences, e.g. customers, 

affected public along the both distribution and 

transmission pipelines, local and state emergency 

response and planning agencies, local public officials 

and governing councils, and excavators, to help 

prevent and recognize, report and respond to a 

suspected pipeline emergency.

supplied breathing air, and air monitoring 

equipment, can be mobilized and deployed to assist 

in handling emergency situations that may occur at 

a company facility or pipeline location. 

Additionally, through our 24-hour a day, 365 days 

a year, manned pipeline control center, we can 

implement our emergency response procedures that 

are well documented in our Pipeline Operations 

and Maintenance manual. Our manned control 

center monitors the flow, pressure, temperatures, 

and other conditions throughout the pipeline 

systems.

Kinder Morgan Pipelines (USA) Inc. operates 

the Platte pipeline system, which delivers 

Canadian and local Rocky Mountain crude oil 

production to markets in Kansas and Illinois, 

and to other interconnecting carriers in those 

areas. In operation since 1952, the Platte 

system originates in Casper, Wyoming, and 

terminates in Wood River, Illinois. This large 

interstate system includes 932 miles of 

pipeline, 19 pump stations, 3,750,000 barrels 

of tank storage, and a delivery capacity of 

150,000 bpd. 


Kinder Morgan Pipelines (USA) Inc. is committed 

to public safety, protection of the environment, and 

operation of its facilities in compliance with all 

applicable rules and regulations. The Kinder 

Morgan Pipelines (USA) Inc. operated Platte 

pipeline system falls under the regulatory oversight 

of the Office of Pipeline Safety in the U.S. 

Department of Transportation. The company is 

proud of its safety record and follows many 

regulations and procedures to monitor and ensure 

the integrity of its pipelines. 

• Pipeline operating conditions are monitored 

24 hours a day, 7 days a week by skilled 

personnel in our Primary Control Center 

located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Using a 

computerized Supervisory Control and Data 

Acquisition (SCADA) system, operators are able 

to control the pump stations and valves along 

the pipeline as well as monitor pressure, flow 

rates, and specific gravities of transported 

products. The SCADA system also assists with 

potential leak detection. In the event of 

abnormal operating conditions or a pipeline 

emergency, strategic sections of the pipeline can 

be isolated quickly or the entire system can be 

shut down from the Primary Control Center. 

• Visual inspections of Kinder Morgan Pipelines 

(USA) Inc.’s right-of-ways are conducted by air 

and/or ground on a regular basis. Above-ground 

marker signs are displayed along the right-ofway 

to alert the public and contractors to the 

existence of the pipeline. An example of a Platte 

system right-of-way marker is included below. 

• Internal inspections are conducted periodically 

by passing sophisticated computerized 

equipment called “smart pigs” through the 

Platte system to detect potential problems and 

prioritize pipeline maintenance. Any areas of 

concern are excavated, and the affected pipe 

section is repaired or replaced. 

• Corrosion control measures are in place to 

protect the pipe and other facilities from 

internal and external corrosion. These measures 

include external protective coatings, cathodic 

protection systems, and corrosion-inhibiting 

chemicals. 

• Kinder Morgan Pipelines (USA) Inc. crude oil 

transportation assets are covered by the Kinder 

Morgan Public Awareness Program, which is 

designed to prevent third-party damage to its 

pipelines. Additionally, the company is a 

member of all applicable state “one-call” 

systems, which are in place to help the public, 

contractors and others identify the location of 

pipelines and other buried utilities prior to any 

excavating activity, to prevent damage and 

protect the public. 

• Comprehensive emergency response plans are 

maintained for all Kinder Morgan Pipelines 

(USA) Inc. facilities and areas of operation. Our 

personnel are trained to respond and 

communicate with emergency response agencies 

within the Incident Command/Unified 

Command Structure. We believe the best way 

to protect the environment, the health and 

safety of responders, and the community is by 

working together as a team. 

For additional information about our public 

education and damage prevention programs, please 

visit the “Public Awareness” link at our web site:

site includes a link to request more specific 

information and it also provides links to a variety of 

pipeline safety web sites.

SourceGas safety policy in terms of 

P/L & API 1162 

• SourceGas is committed to public safety, protection of 

the environment, and operation of its facilities in 

compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. 

The SourceGas pipelines fall under the regulatory 

oversight of PHMSA and applicable state agencies. 

The company is proud of its safety record and follows 

many regulations and procedures to monitor and 

ensure the integrity of its pipelines. 

The SourceGas Public Awareness Program was developed 

to raise the general public’s awareness regarding the safety 

of pipeline operations. We believe this program is vital to 

the safe operation of our pipelines and that an informed 

public along our pipeline routes will help to reduce the 

likelihood and potential impact of pipeline emergencies 

and releases. 

SourceGas’s Public Awareness Program satisfies the 

requirements of the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act 

(PSIA) of 2002 and the revised regulatory requirements of 

49 CFR Parts 192, 195 and the American Petroleum 

Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1162. 

• Pipeline operating conditions are monitored 24 

hours a day, 7 days a week by personnel in our 

Lakewood Gas Control Center using a Supervisory 

Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computer 

system. This electronic surveillance system gathers 

such data as pipeline pressures, volume and flow 

rates, the status of compressor stations and valves. 

Whenever operating conditions change, an alarm 

warns the operator on duty and the condition is 

investigated. Both automated and manual valves are 

strategically placed along the pipeline system to 

enable the pipeline to be shutdown immediately and 

sections to be isolated quickly, if necessary. 

• Visual inspections of SourceGas’s pipeline right-ofway 

are conducted by air and/or ground on a regular 

basis. The right-of-way is a narrow strip of land 

reserved for the pipeline. Above ground marker signs 

are displayed along the right-of-way to alert the 

public and contractors to the existence of the 

pipeline. 

• Internal inspections are conducted periodically by 

passing sophisticated computerized equipment called 

“smart pigs” through most of our pipelines to 

confirm the wall thickness of the pipe. 

• Cathodic protection is a technology designed to 

protect pipelines from external corrosion through the 

use of an electrostatic current. The small electrical 

charge is applied to our pipelines, which have an 

external protective coating. 

• SourceGas’s public education program is designed to 

prevent third-party damage to its pipelines. 

Additionally, the company is a member of “callbefore-you-dig” 

programs or “one-call” systems in 

the three state area, which are designed to help the 

public, contractors and others identify the location 

of pipelines before excavation or digging projects to 

prevent damage to pipelines and protect the public. 

The leading cause of pipeline accidents is third-party 

damage caused by various types of digging and 

excavation activities. 

• Emergency preparedness and planning measures are 

in place at SourceGas in the event that a pipeline 

incident occurs. The company also works closely 

with local emergency response organizations to 

educate them regarding our pipelines and how to 

respond in the unlikely event of an emergency. 

Pipelines are the most efficient and safest method by 

which to transport and deliver natural gas and they are 

inherently safer than other modes of transportation such 

as rail, barge and truck. While the amount of natural gas 

being used in the U. S. continues to increase dramatically, 

the industry's safety performance in recent years has 

improved significantly and serious accidents are rare. 

Pipelines help ensure a plentiful supply of natural gas to 

heat homes and businesses and generate electricity. There 

are well over one million miles of natural gas and product 

pipelines in the U. S.
