39 WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY

40 WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY RIGHT-OF-WAY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM MPL operates and maintains a high-pressure petroleum pipeline on your property. MPL conducts vegetation management as part of our continuing monitoring and maintenance of our pipelines. Our vegetation management program is set up to mow each pipeline right of way on a three-year cycle and to perform canopy tree trimming on a six-year cycle. In warmer climate areas, the right of way may be mowed annually or bi-annually. Trees, shrubs, and other plantings greater than three feet high are prohibited within 25 feet of any pipeline or appurtenance and typically all plantings are prohibited within 10 feet of any pipeline or appurtenance. MPL reserves the right to remove any trees, shrubs or other non-crop vegetation within 25 feet of the pipeline. No vegetation is allowed to obstruct pipeline signage or markers. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 40

41 WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY Right-of-way vegetation maintenance is performed for public safety and release detection. MPL VEGETATION MAINTENANCE ENABLES: Aerial surveillance the U.S. Department of Transportation safety regulations require us to conduct inspections to detect ground surface conditions along our easement at least 26 times a year and aerial surveillance is the most effective tool Right-of-way access for inspection of shallow pipe, erosion, sink holes and exposed pipe Right-of-way access for maintenance activities or prompt response in the event of an emergency Pipeline and pipeline coating protection from tree root damage which can diminish the effectiveness of the corrosion control system on the pipeline MPL is committed to protecting the safety of the community, the environment and to safely operate our pipeline. 41 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

42 WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY A right of way is a strip of land where some of the property owner s legal rights have been granted to a utility company. A right-of-way agreement between a company and a property owner is also called an easement and is usually filed in public records with property deeds. Rights of way provide a permanent, limited interest in the land and enables a pipeline company to operate, inspect, repair, maintain, or replace the pipeline on property owned by another. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 42

43 WHY MPL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN A RIGHT OF WAY Rights of way must always be kept free of structures and other physical obstructions. Landowners or tenants shall not plant trees on a right of way. Never dig on or near the right of way without first calling 811. Do not store or place anything on the right of way without first having company personnel locate the pipeline, mark the right-of-way location and explain the property development guidelines to you. CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS If you have questions, please MPL at landowners@marathonpetroleum.com or contact your right-of-way specialist found in the Who To Contact tab within this booklet. 43 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

44 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY?

45 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? 1 24/7 MONITORING MPL adheres to strict federal laws that require pipeline operators to continuously monitor and maintain their pipeline. MPL analysts monitor the entire pipeline network from a control center. Analysts receive communications from instruments and devices installed at locations throughout the system as well as from field personnel to help understand how the pipelines are operating 24 hours a day, 7 days week. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 45

46 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? 2 INSPECTIONS AND TESTS As a part of our comprehensive safety program, we inspect and test our pipeline systems regularly: We monitor by air with manned and unmanned aircraft and/or by ground patrol to identify and prevent any unauthorized activity. We inspect pipeline rights of way for unusual changes in vegetation that might indicate a leak. We test, inspect and monitor the cathodic protection system on our pipelines that helps prevent corrosion. We use various tools and technologies to help ensure that our pipelines are sound and fit for purpose. We inspect and test valves on the pipelines. When pipe is exposed for any reason, we inspect the condition of the pipe and its coatings and, if necessary, make repairs. 46 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

47 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? CLOSE INTERVAL SURVEY (CIS): MPL periodically conducts a CIS on all of our pipeline systems. This is done to document and maintain the effectiveness of the cathodic protection system, which, along with the coating on the pipe, keeps the pipeline from corroding underground. WHAT YOU WILL OBSERVE WHEN A CIS TEAM IS ON YOUR PROPERTY: The CIS work will require no digging or vehicles driving on the right of way. A three-person crew will walk the right of way. The first person will locate and mark the pipeline with small yellow flags. The team will then take readings on the depth of soil above the pipeline. After the readings are taken, the third person will follow after the first two and make sure all the flags are picked up. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 47

48 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? CORROSION CONTROL MPL uses steel pipelines to transport petroleum products. We have three lines of defense to keep our pipeline operating safely and prevent corrosion: 1) Coating is applied to the outside of the pipe. This coating keeps soil and water from touching the steel. 2) Corrosion protection systems are installed along the length of the pipeline at specific locations. These systems, known as cathodic protection, send a small electric current through the soil and water to help protect the pipe. 3) To make sure that everything is working properly, we inspect our cathodic protection systems every two months. We also do a complete corrosion control survey of the entire pipeline every year to evaluate how well our cathodic protection systems are working. Corrosion inspection and monitoring are also two key activities to ensure asset integrity and control of corrosion. Pipeline corrosion monitoring techniques help in several ways: Provides an early warning that damaging conditions could be developing. Helps diagnose a particular corrosion problem. Evaluates the effectiveness of a corrosion control program. 48 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

49 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? WALKING SURVEY Walking surveys, the physical inspection and survey of the conditions of the right of way, involve checking for encroachments, signage, vegetation control, pipe depth, and collection of geographic information using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment. During a walking survey, the following activities are performed: Inspect for right-of-way encroachments. Identify and document missing or damaged signs. Replace or repair missing or damaged signs. Evaluate the condition and effectiveness of the vegetation control program. Perform depth surveys to identify shallow and exposed pipe. Walking surveys help identify safety concerns, maintenance conditions and obstructions on the right of way. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 49

50 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? HYDROSTATIC TESTING Hydrostatic testing of pipelines is part of MPL s Integrity Management Program. Pipeline companies have conducted hydrostatic testing for decades as one method to identify defects or damage to the pipeline that could potentially cause a pipeline leak. A hydrostatic test is a routine test to ensure the integrity of our pipeline. The information below outlines the hydrostatic testing process. 1) The petroleum inside the pipeline is removed and replaced with water. This water contains an environmentally-safe green dye to help determine the location of a defect, if a leak occurs during the test. 2) The water inside the pipeline is pumped up to a pressure much higher than the normal operating pressure of the pipeline while transporting petroleum products. This high pressure is typically held for at least eight hours. 3) During this test, which will likely occur during the late evening and early morning hours, MPL representatives will be conducting visual inspections along the pipeline route. Each MPL employee will be wearing a hard hat and will carry a company photo identification card for safety and identification purposes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak with one of our representatives. 50 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

51 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? 4) In the event of a sudden leak of water from the pipeline, the pressure will be reduced rapidly and the green water should rise to the ground surface quickly. 5) In the event of a small leak of water from the pipeline, the pressure will be reduced slowly and the green water may not immediately reach the surface. To locate the leak, MPL will excavate the pipeline at determined locations for further investigation. 6) In the event that defects in the pipeline are identified, repairs will be made as soon as possible, and the testing will continue until the pressure remains intact for at least eight hours. 7) Following the successful completion of the hydrostatic test procedures, all of which is in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation s Office of Pipeline Safety, the water will be removed from the pipeline. The pipeline will be refilled with petroleum products and petroleum distribution services will resume. MPL is committed to the continued safe operation of its pipelines, and ensuring the efficient and reliable transportation of petroleum products that America needs. MPL s primary focus during any pipeline activity, including hydrostatic testing, is public safety and protecting the environment. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 51

52 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? INTERNAL LINE INSPECTION (ILI) MPL is required by federal regulations to periodically assess our pipeline systems integrity and ILI is one method. The ILI tool is an electronic device that is placed in the pipeline and pushed through from one end to the other. During the actual ILI tool run, you may see vehicles parked at the pipeline road crossings during the day or night. This is done to track the ILI tool as it passes by each road crossing. As the ILI tool travels through the pipeline, it collects data about the pipeline. The data collected is analyzed to determine if there are any locations that need to be excavated and inspected for potential repair. The ILI tool may find locations on the pipeline that have been damaged by a third party or defective coating which can lead to corrosion. Once the ILI tool has been run and the data analyzed, locations are categorized and prioritized by the severity of the damage indicated by the ILI tool. 52 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

53 HOW DOES MPL PROTECT MY PROPERTY? PIPELINE INSPECTION DIGS If there is a location on your property that must be inspected as a result of the ILI tool run, you will be contacted prior to the start of any work. When you are contacted, you will have the opportunity to ask questions as we place stakes on the site. The pipeline will then be excavated, inspected, and any required repairs made. Finally, the site will be filled in and the area restored. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 53

54 POST INSPECTION AND REPAIR MPL s policy is to clean and restore the work area in a timely manner to its pre-existing condition as reasonably practicable. Restoration measures may include, but are not limited to: site restoration to the original contour; compensation for crop and/ or fertilizer loss; repair damage to drainage tile systems; landscaping and seeding. Compensation for crop loss is generally determined by calculating the crop acreage affected by the construction of the pipeline within the right of way, along with yield and value of the crop based on current market prices. After the restoration work is complete, MPL will meet with the landowner on site to confirm the property has been restored to its pre-existing condition as reasonably practicable and to compensate the landowner for any reasonable damages incurred. 54 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC

55 HOW DOES MPL RESPOND TO A PIPELINE EMERGENCY? HOW DOES MPL RESPOND TO A PIPELINE EMERGENCY?

56 HOW DOES MPL RESPOND TO A PIPELINE EMERGENCY? PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES If we have a release, we immediately take the necessary steps to protect life and property by shutting off the flow of product through the pipeline, isolating the affected pipeline section and calling in emergency response organizations. Our primary concern is the safety of the community and our response team. MPL then performs these actions: Assemble and deploy a team of experts to the location to begin addressing the emergency. Address all related safety issues. Begin assessing any property damage resulting from the incident. Take steps to preserve the integrity of the site. Work closely with local, state and federal agencies to determine the cause of the incident and take appropriate remedial measures. LIVING ALONG THE PIPELINE: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 56

57 HOW DOES MPL RESPOND TO A PIPELINE EMERGENCY? WHAT DOES MPL S EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS COVER? Our plans outline steps to take in the event of a fire, rupture, major leak or serious incident occurring at or near one of our facilities.

Depending on the circumstances of each event, the cleanup activities could take an extended period of time. During this process, MPL will be in constant contact with all affected parties to work through current and future damage issues related to the release. MPL strives to operate our pipelines with SAFETY as our number one goal. 59 MARATHON PIPE LINE LLC
