Telemetry Equipment

(a)Not later than January 1, 2037, Telemetry Equipment shall be installed and transmit the data described in subdivisions (1) to (6), inclusive, of this subsection to the locations specified in subsection (d) of this section:#

(1)the inlet and outlet pressures at Gate Stations and District Regulator Stations;#

(2)any data necessary to ensure proper operation of any odorization equipment;#

(3)the output from fire and Gas detection devices at all Gate Stations;#

(4)the output from an intrusion detection device on all building doors at Gate Stations;#

(5)Gas temperature downstream of the last pressure regulating device at a Gate Station or District Regulator Station with Gas heating equipment; and#

(6)the pressure at sufficient locations downstream of Gate Stations and District Regulator Stations such that the Operator can ensure reliable Gas delivery, including, but not limited to, approximate system endpoints and Gas flow null 38 points based on system modeling. These locations shall be reviewed every 10 years. If necessary, locations shall be relocated not later than 1 year after the review.#

(b)Where environmental or operational hazards have a history of substantially affecting operating pressure in a Pipeline, the Operator shall add Telemetry Equipment to monitor for the hazard.#

(c)Telemetry Equipment shall transmit data at sufficient intervals to ensure the Pipeline Facility is operating safely.#

(d)Data transmitted from Telemetry Equipment shall be continuously monitored from a Control Room by the Operator, except that data from intrusion detection devices shall be continuously monitored at a Control Room or a location that handles security.#

(e)Temporary Telemetry Equipment not installed as a requirement of subsections (a) or#

(b)of this section, does not need to meet the requirements of subsections (c) and (d) of this section.#

(f)Vehicle protection is required for Telemetry Equipment cabinets which contain Gas and where vehicular damage may be anticipated, except where Gas supply is limited by an excess flow valve.#

(g)Each Operator shall have a process for conducting inspections of Telemetry Equipment at least once each calendar year, but at intervals not exceeding 15 months. Not later than 7 calendar days after any deficiencies are found that impact monitoring, they shall be remediated, unless an extension is approved by the Authority in writing.#
