View source A pipeline company shall not construct a new pump station on the pipeline in any zoned area without prior approval of the appropriate zoning authority and having acquired all necessary permits. In areas not zoned, the pump station shall not be located closer than five hundred feet from an existing building intended for human occupancy (other than a building under the control of the pipeline company). When locating new pump stations and breakout tanks, the pipeline company must consider such hazards as overhead power lines, geologic faults, areas prone to flooding, landslides, and falling rocks. This requirement only applies before the facility is constructed.#
