What is the DP Toolbox? Collection of shared learnings and practices for onshore, hazardous liquid transmission pipeline operation. Includes documents and examples from operators: Forms Reports Procedures Correspondences Other relevant materials. Toolbox can be used by an operator as information to be considered when analyzing, reviewing/modifying existing procedures, and/or following an investigation. Not intended to be utilized as a recommended practice or basis for regulation. 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org
Toolbox Topics One-Call Notification Screening One-Call Notifications Response and Communication Operator One-Call Ticket Management Systems One-Call Quality Assurance Line Locating and Temporary Marking Line Locating Quality Assurance Excavation Monitoring and Observation Pipeline Depth of Cover ROW Patrol & Response ROW Usage by Landowner Crossing & Encroachment Agreements and Correspondence Unauthorized Activities 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 7

One Call Quality Assurance Overview: Damage Prevention Toolbox Topic 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 10
One Call Quality Assurance Process centered approach...designed to identify& eliminate systematic error through frequent review & reporting Mapping Training Reporting 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 11
Mapping Map Accuracy Horizontal Attribute Map Review CDC Review Centerline Review 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 12
Mapping CONSIDERATIONS: Is there a process for managing all centerline changes that includes the proper change notification to all One Call stakeholders? Are frequent buffer review meetings scheduled with all One Call stakeholders to account for changes in centerline geometry? Does a process exist for updating One Call coverage for newly acquired, divested, or abandoned lines? Is there a process to review, update, and validate current One Call coverage at the State One Call Centers? Do One Call stakeholders know the buffer submission requirements at each state One Call Center? What data format is required? What coordinate system is required? Is a datum transformation necessary? Does the Operator have a competent person in place to oversee buffer management and submissions, one that understands GIS data management and the nuance of coordinates systems and their transformation methods? 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 13
Reporting Ticket Screening Appropriate criteria used? Outgoing Communication Good Documentation? Effort Workload balancing opportunities 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 14
Reporting CONSIDERATIONS: Count of Tickets per Month, per Quarter, per Year. Tickets Per Mile of Pipe Ratio of tickets per locator Outstanding Tickets/Past Due Tickets Monitor variability in ticket volumes (monthly, seasonal) Number of Positive Responses Average and Median Time for Positive Responses Percentage Marked Percentage Update Tickets (Ticket Extensions) Ticket Type (regular, emergency, update, etc.) Average and Median Time to Respond to Emergencies 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 15
Reporting CONSIDERATIONS (continued): Tickets with pictures attached Drove to Field (Y/N) Method of Clearing (Map, Contact, Site Visit) Method of Marking (paint, pin flags, cane poles) Distributed Safe Digging Literature (Y/N) Required Crossing Agreement (Y/N) Daily Audit of Tickets Received by Operator vs. Tickets Sent from One Call center 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 16
Training GIS Competency Ticket Management Proprietary Tools 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 17
Training CONSIDERATIONS: Are designated personnel adequately trained in the tools and software that supports the management, submission, and review of One Call mapping files? Does the One Call buffer review process require any specialized training that includes editing or confirming coverage using any proprietary One Call Center mapping software? Are designated personnel adequately trained in the tools and software that supports the configuration of reports and metrics identified for One Call Quality Assurance reviews? 1220 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20005-4070 www.api.org 18
