Denbury Onshore
operates carbon dioxide and natural gas pipelines in Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas. We take our responsibility seriously to ensure
safe pipeline operations, but you too can play an important role in
helping to prevent pipeline accidents.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
One of the single
greatest challenges to safe pipeline operations is the accidental
damage from excavation, drilling, or blasting activities. You can
help prevent pipeline accidents from happening. Simply call your
state One-Call center at least 48 hours in advance and a Denbury
representative will locate and mark the underground pipeline at no
cost to you. Call before you:
-
Excavate
-
Auger
-
Tunnel
-
Install water
or sewer lines, septic systems, or drains
-
Install
telephone, TV, or cable lines
-
Blast for clearing
-
Repair or
rebuild roads or driveways
-
Plant trees or
shrubs
-
Build homes or
additions
Even if you haven’t
provided advanced notification, please contact us immediately if you
dig and hit or touch a pipeline. A seemingly minor gouge, dent,
crease, or scrape may cause a future safety problem. Remember,
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!
How to Identify the Location of a Pipeline
Since pipelines are
normally buried underground, markers are used to show the
approximate – not exact – location of the pipeline. The markers also
display the name of the pipeline operator, the product transported
in the line, and a telephone number where the operator can be
reached in an emergency. However, they cannot be relied upon to
indicate the exact position of the pipeline. Don’t assume the
pipeline’s route or position by the placement of the markers, call
your state’s One Call Center.
