It is vital that people remain mindful of pipeline safety throughout the summer, when many are spending time outdoors. Pipeline markers on roads, trails, and rights-of-way can help identify where underground pipelines are located and how to contact someone in an emergency involving those pipelines.
In the event you see any type of unusual activity along a pipeline right-of-way (i.e., a strong petroleum smell, a hissing noise, etc.) — move away from the area and immediately report this to your local authorities.
