PIPELINES IN Wyoming
Approximately 17,000 miles of pipelines crisscross Wyoming, safely transporting natural gas, crude and other energy products every day to homes, businesses and to other parts of the country. Pipelines transport products that are part of our every day life and contribute to Wyoming’s community tax base.
The Wyoming Public Service Commission inspects, regulates and enforces intrastate gas pipeline safety requirements. The Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) inspects, regulates and enforces interstate gas pipeline safety requirements and both interstate and intrastate liquid pipeline safety requirements.
Individuals who will be excavating near underground pipelines in Wyoming are required by law to contact their local One-Call center by dialing 811 at least two business days prior to beginning their project unless they meet exemption requirements outlined in Wyoming’s One-Call law.
