What is the current condition of the pipeline?
A. In the summer of 2002, the entire length of TL-522 (87.7 miles) was inspected using “smart pigs,” which perform internal inspections of the pipeline, and was found to be in excellent condition, with no defects requiring remedial work or pressure reductions in the areas where the proposed looping is to occur. Since then, Dominion has performed routine tests of the cathodic protection system on the line and there is no indication of any new concerns.
