Pordy\nShulman & Rogers, P.A.\nMontgomery Center\n8630 Fenton Street, Suite 430\nSilver Spring, Maryland 20910\nDear Mr. Pordy:\nThis refers to your letter of August 6, 1976, asking whether this Office has approved a marking\nsystem for use by operators in connection with the requirements of Article 3, Section 12 of the\nCode of the County of Fairfax, Virginia, relating to the marking of utility lines at the site of an\nexcavation.\nThe Federal safety standards applicable to marking pipeline systems are contained in 49 CFR\n192.707 for gas pipelines and 49 CFR 195.410 for liquid pipelines. These standards provide\ngeneral marking requirements and do not concern marking upon specific requests by persons\nabout to excavate in the vicinity of a pipeline. Marking of this type is not presently governed by\nany Departmental standards or guidelines. It is done at the discretion of the operator concerned\nor is a matter for State or local law.\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\ndal\\192\\707\\76-09-13\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":1080}
