Pipeline Public Awareness Program
We strive to educate the public, emergency officials, excavators and other key stakeholders about the pipelines Valero owns and/or operates. Valero regularly distributes public awareness information to residences, businesses, schools and other stakeholders located near our pipelines and pipeline facilities. Our public awareness program aims to reduce both the likelihood and impact of an emergency or fuel leak.
Pipeline 101: Learn about pipelines and how they operate
Pipeline Safety
Valero believes that safety and reliability are important, not only for the protection of our employees and communities, but also for operational success. In addition, we regularly provide training to emergency response personnel in the community.
The following resources provide information about pipeline safety in your communities:
Pipeline Markers
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requires the use of markers to indicate the approximate location of pipelines. The markers display:
- Material transported on the pipeline
- The name of the pipeline operator
- A telephone number where an operator can be reached in the event of an emergency
Markers do NOT indicate the exact location or the depth of the pipeline.
Before You Dig (United States)
Before you dig or engage in any excavation, construction, or farming activity, call your state's One-Call Center. Minor excavation activities can cause damage to a pipeline, its protective coating and/or buried utility lines. Play it safe and learn more here:
Pipeline Right-of-Way Encroachment
We take your safety seriously. Encroachments upon the pipeline right-of-way inhibit Valero's ability to provide right-of-way surveillance, to perform routine maintenance and required state/federal inspections. In order to perform these critical activities, Valero personnel must have safe and easy access to all pipeline rights-of-way.
