Invitations were recently sent by our vendor, Paradigm Liaison Services. You can RSVP for this event at their website: http://www.safetycommsolutions.com/RSVP.asp OR by calling 1-800-513-9948. You MUST RSVP to attend this event.

Feel free to pass this invitation along to anyone in the emergency response community!

For more information about Buckeye’s pipelines in BucksCounty, please contact me at 484-232-4482 or through Buckeye's website at http://www.buckeye.com. Buckeye's pipelines in Bucks County transport refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, heating oil, kerosene, and jet fuel) in the liquid phase.

Maps depicting the approximate location of Buckeye's pipelines are available from our website at this address:

For additional information on pipelines in your community, and to find other pipeline operators, check the National Pipeline Mapping System:
http://www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov/

Pipelines are the safest method of transporting petroleum products, and pipeline incidents are very rare. The knowledge gained from attending this session will help those that would respond to a pipeline incident, and may even assist in preventing a pipeline emergency.

For more information on emergency response to pipeline incidents, please contact me, another pipeline operator, or consult the Pipeline Emergencies website established by the National Association of State Fire Marshals and the U.S. Dept. of Transportation at http://www.pipelineemergencies.com. They have EXCELLENT training material available, including free books and a video.

Hope to see you at this event.

And ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG! http://www.call811.com/

I've taken this annual affair in several times, but won't be able to this year.  It's a good meal, good schmooze, a chance to come face to face with the pipeline folks, learn a little bit, raise questions and get answers.  If you don't know where pipelines are other than your street gas lines, or if you don't know what's in them, this is a good chance to find out.  Both Bucks and MontCo have plenty of lines running through them, carrying all sorts of stuff.  The place is easy to get to; exit the Pa. Turnpike at Lansdale and you will just about fall into it.

 Stay safe out there, everyone goes home!
