The Pipeline Inspection Process

Things are getting better
By Debbie Felix
SAN FRANCISCO — Over the past few years, PG&E customers have been hearing about how the company uses high-tech inspection tools to assess the condition of natural gas pipelines from the inside. Often called “smart pigs,” these tools travel inside pipelines to identify dents, cracks and corrosion before they become a problem.
Now, PG&E is working with a new, cutting edge technology that will look for similar signs — like corrosion or dents — on the outside of gas pipelines.
First developed for the dental industry, the 3D Toolbox is as easy to use as a digital camera.  With a click, it captures an image and provides measurements, giving PG&E real-time information about the condition of pipeline surfaces.
And it’s fast.

The 3D Toolbox allows PG&E to get detailed images of pipelines very quickly. (Photo by James Green.)
Images are captured in seconds and multiple views can be stitched together in a matter of minutes.
“The benefits of the tool are that it provides traceable, repeatable measurements. It’s simple to use and it speeds up the pipe assessment process, which could take hours or days before,” said Gerry Bong, a PG&E R&D and Innovation gas engineer. “I think as far as PG&E is concerned, this is a great opportunity to bring in cutting-edge technology, such as the 3D Toolbox, to improve the efficiency of our process.”
The 3D camera is light-weight and easy to set up at construction sites. Able to capture the same 3D measurements every time from any angle, the device is simple to operate and gives PG&E a detailed, traceable record.
Images are viewed by engineers and corrosion experts on a laptop set up at the dig site. The collected data is automatically fed into calculation tools to generate an assessment within minutes, a process that normally would take hours or even days to complete. From there, PG&E engineers can to put together a corrective action plan immediately.
“R&D and Innovation is working with PRCI (the Pipeline Research Council International) and other collaborative R&D organizations to bring new solutions into Gas Operations. What we see today is a result of this work, which we are testing,” said François Rongere, R&D and Innovation manager at PG&E.
The 3D Toolbox is just another example of the many ways PG&E is leveraging the latest technology to ensure the safety of its natural gas system for its customers.

HATE CRIME LAWS


ABOUT HATE CRIMES

Since 1968, when Congress passed, and President Lyndon Johnson signed into law, the first federal hate crimes statute, the Department of Justice has been enforcing federal hate crimes laws.  The 1968 statute made it a crime to use, or threaten to use, force to willfully interfere with any person because of race, color, religion, or national origin and because the person is participating  in a federally protected activity, such as public education, employment, jury service, travel, or the enjoyment of public accommodations, or helping another person to do so.  In 1968, Congress also made it a crime to use, or threaten to use, force to interfere with housing rights because of the victim’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; in 1988, protections on the basis of familial status and were added.  In 1996, Congress passed the Church Arson Prevention Act, 18 U.S.C. § 247.  Under this Act, it is a crime to deface, damage, or destroy religious real property, or interfere with a person’s religious practice, in situations affecting interstate commerce.  The Act also bars defacing, damaging, or destroying religious property because of the race, color, or ethnicity of persons associated with the property.  
In 2009, Congress passed, and President Obama signed, the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, expanding the federal definition of hate crimes, enhancing the legal toolkit available to prosecutors, and increasing the ability of federal law enforcement to support our state and local partners.  This law removed then existing jurisdictional obstacles to prosecutions of certain race- and religion-motivated violence.,, and added new federal protections against crimes based on gender, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.  Before the Civil Rights Division prosecutes a hate crime, the Attorney General or someone the Attorney General designates must certify, in writing, that (1) the state does not have jurisdiction; (2) the state has requested that the federal government assume jurisdiction; (3) the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to state charges did not demonstratively vindicate the federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence; or (4) a prosecution by the United States is in the public interest and necessary to secure substantial justice.  In the seven years since the passage of the Shepard-Byrd Act, the Justice Department has charged 72 defendants and convicted 45 defendants under this statute.  In total, as of July 15, 2016, the department has charged 258 defendants for hate crimes under multiple statutes over the last seven years.

The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, 18 U.S.C. § 249 
The Shepard Byrd Act makes it a federal crime to willfully cause bodily injury, or attempt to do so using a dangerous weapon, because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin. The Act also extends federal hate crime prohibitions to crimes committed because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person, only where the crime affected interstate or foreign commerce or occurred within federal special maritime and territorial jurisdiction.  The Shepard-Byrd Act is the first statute allowing federal criminal prosecution of hate crimes motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.

Criminal Interference with Right to Fair Housing, 42 U.S.C. § 3631
This statute makes it a crime to use, or threaten to use force to interfere with housing rights because of the victim’s race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin. 
Damage to Religious Property, Church Arson Prevention Act, 18 U.S.C. § 247
This statute prohibits the intentional defacement, damage, or destruction of religious real property because of the religious nature of the property, where the crime affects interstate or foreign commerce, or because of the race, color, or ethnic characteristics of the people associated with the property.  The statute also criminalizes the intentional obstruction by force, or threat of force of any person in the enjoyment of that person’s free exercise of religious beliefs.
 I don't believe in God but you can 
Violent Interference with Federally Protected Rights, 18 U.S.C. § 245
This statute makes it a crime to use, or threaten to use force to willfully interfere with any person because of race, color, religion, or national origin and because the person is participating  in a federally protected activity, such as public education, employment, jury service, travel, or the enjoyment of public accommodations, or helping another person to do so.

Conspiracy Against Rights, 18 U.S.C. § 241
This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory, or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him or her by the Constitution or the laws of the U.S.

The 15M Payoff for Destroying ENRON/SEC Documents




Building 7 was one of New York City's larger buildings. A sleek bronze-colored skyscraper with a trapezoidal footprint, it occupied an entire city block and rose over 600 feet above street level.


Built in 1985, it was formerly the headquarters of the junk-bond firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, which contributed to the Savings and Loans collapse, prompting the $500-billion taxpayer-underwritten bailout of the latter 1980s. At the time of its destruction, it exclusively housed government agencies and financial institutions. It contained offices of the IRS, Secret Service, and SEC.

This floor received 15 million dollars worth of renovations, including independent and secure air and water supplies, and bullet and bomb resistant windows designed to withstand 200 MPH winds. 2

The 1993 bombing must have been part of the rationale for the command center, which overlooked the Twin Towers, a prime terrorist target.

How curious that on the day of the attack, Guiliani and his entourage set up shop in a different headquarters, abandoning the special bunker designed precisely for such an event. 3

Oakland PD responded and sought medical attention for the victim and obtained the initial information. The Walnut Creek Police Department was called to handle the primary investigation since the incident originated in Walnut Creek.

PG&E TAKES ACTION TO ADDRESS EX PARTE COMMUNICATION ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN SELF-REPORT TO CPUC TODAY; PLEDGES 'NO EXCUSES' COMPLIANCE


Release Date: September 15, 2014

Contact: PG&E External Communications (415) 973-5930

San Francisco, Calif.— Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today notified the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that an extensive internal review of nearly five years of emails between the company and officials at the Commission has identified a number of instances in which PG&E believes it violated the CPUC's rules governing communications with the state regulator in the pending Gas Transmission & Storage rate case.

The communications reported to the CPUC today occurred over a three-week period in January, 2014, during which time a number of e-mails were sent to the CPUC concerning the assignment of administrative law judges and commissioners to the Gas Transmission & Storage rate case. These e-mails may have violated CPUC rules prohibiting certain ex parte communications -- meaning communication with decision-makers that takes place without the knowledge of all parties to a proceeding.

These communications were identified after the company voluntarily chose to broaden its internal review of any potential ex parte communications well beyond those communications referenced in a San Bruno motion filed last July. The expanded review included more than 65,000 emails to and from the Commission since early 2010.

Actions to Address

"As a company, we must be committed to complying with both the letter and the spirit of the law and PG&E's own Code of Conduct at all times. No excuses. That is, and must be, the standard for our behavior individually and as a company," Chairman and CEO Tony Earley and President Chris Johns said in a joint letter to employees today.

They outlined actions resulting from the internal review process:
Three officers will no longer be employed by the company. They are the senior vice president of regulatory affairs, vice president of regulatory relations, and vice president of regulatory proceedings and rates.
PG&E has appointed Steve Malnight as senior vice president of regulatory relations. Previously, Malnight was vice president of customer energy solutions. Malnight will report to PG&E President Chris Johns.
The company is creating the new role of chief regulatory compliance officer, whose mandate will be to help oversee compliance with all requirements governing PG&E’s interactions with the CPUC. The position will report to Chairman and CEO Tony Earley and to the Audit Committee of the PG&E Board of Directors.
The company has engaged Ken Salazar, a partner in the WilmerHale law firm, as special counsel on regulatory compliance matters to assist in developing a best-in-class regulatory compliance model. Salazar has deep experience in regulatory and energy matters. Among his roles has been service as Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Senator from Colorado, Attorney General of Colorado and Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
PG&E plans additional, mandatory training for all employees who routinely interact with PG&E's regulators.


Letter to Employees


In their joint letter announcing these actions to employees, Earley and Johns said, in part:


"As a company, we must be committed to complying with both the letter and the spirit of the law and PG&E's own Code of Conduct at all times. No excuses. That is, and must be, the standard for our behavior individually and as a company.


"We all have a responsibility to know, understand and comply with all of the rules, including PG&E's own Code of Conduct, as they apply to our respective roles.


"In these instances, there was behavior that clearly failed to meet that standard, and we greatly regret that. Even absent an ex parte violation, these actions did not represent the company in the manner we expect of our officers. As a result, we took immediate and definitive action. We’re continuing this review and will take additional actions if warranted.


"Beyond that, it is also clear that we need to take additional steps to raise the level of professionalism and propriety in our interactions with regulators. While many of us have felt that criticism characterizing PG&E's relationship with the CPUC as 'cozy' has been unfair, we need to acknowledge that we have earned some of the criticism and we need to take action to change that.


"As we have said previously, we have been very disappointed by the tone of some emails that have been reviewed. While not violations of regulations, they are unprofessional and unacceptable.




"We've made truly incredible progress in terms of our operational focus and in creating a strong safety culture at PG&E. But to be successful, it's also critical that our culture demonstrates an unfailing commitment to conducting our business in compliance with both the letter and spirit of the law and our Code of Conduct and with a high degree of professionalism."

Santa Fe Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad

An antitrust trial over whether Santa Fe Railroad conspired...

By DAN SHOMON Jr.  |  Jan. 10, 1989
BEAUMONT, Texas -- An antitrust trial over whether Santa Fe Railroad conspired with other rail companies to block a proposed coal slurry pipeline is scheduled to begin Wednesday and up to $1 billion may be at stake.







The Energy Transportation Systems Inc. (ETSI) pipeline project is suing Chicago-based Santa Fe Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroad over a proposed $3 billion pipeline designed to transport coal slurry from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming to utility companies in Texas and Oklahoma.
Attorneys have taken more than 300 depositions in 23 states since the original suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Beaumont in October 1984, and the trial is expected to last at least two months, lawyers said.
In the 1984 suit, ETSI named a total of eight companies as defendants, including Union Pacific Railroad Co., Kansas City Southern Railway Co. and Burlington Northern Inc. But attorneys for ETSI have settled with all parties except Santa Fe.
The suit alleges that Santa Fe violated the Sherman Act from 1974-1984 by conspiring to block the pipeline and 'restrain interstate commerce of the United States by eliminating ETSI as a competitor.'
ETSI is a joint venture including several major utilities and subsidiaries of Houston-based  IntTexas Eastern Corp.,ernorth Inc., K.N. Energy Co. Inc. and Bechtel Petroleum, Inc. ETSI planned to use the pipeline to transport slurry -- crushed coal suspended in water -- to the Gulf Coast from the Powder River Basin, located in coal-rich northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana.
'Our claims are that the railroads conspired to destroy the project to avoid competition,' said Harry Reasoner, an attorney with Vinson and Elkins, one of the firms representing ETSI. 'We say it (the pipeline) would have been a far more efficient way to transfer coal and could have saved the consumers billions of dollars.'
Texas Eastern has already reached a $60 million out-of-court settlement with Kansas City Southern in its portion of the dispute over the pipeline.
ETSI also agreed to settlements ith Union Pacific Corp. and the Chicago and Northwestern railroads in late 1987 and with Burlington-Northern Railroad Co. in November 1988, attorneys for both sides said.
The case is one of the larger antitrust cases to go to trial in the last few years, Reasoner said.
The suit was filed in Beaumont because Beaumont-based Gulf States Utilities Co. is one of the utilities which would have received coal from the Powder River Basin pipeline. The federal court docket in Beaumont is also considered one of the lightest in the nation, meaning the case came to trial much faster than if it was filed in most other districts, attorneys said.
Jury selection is expected to begin Wednesday with opening statements starting on Friday, said Gilbert I. Low, a Beaumont attorney also representing ETSI.
Low said about 30 attorneys will be trying the case before U.S. District Judge Robert Parker.
