On the recordFebruary 8, 2001
For my purposes-- and I think Senator Corzine is concerned about these large pipelines delivering liquid and natural gas through the Northeast through densely populated suburban communities in New Jersey--we have met our objective; that is, the level of technology for inspection must be extraordinarily high or there will be regular inspections, so people living in proximity to these pipelines know they can be assured of its safety. The Record should also reflect that we actually discussed having some other exemption for places that are sparsely populated. It was noted that under no instances, given the density of the population in the Northeast or I assume in California or in Illinois, would that be appropriate. This affords us the protection we need, and for that I am very grateful. Again, my thanks to Senator McCain.
