The Mayflower Oil Spill is a perfect example of integrity management programs failing to protect the people and environment. Time and time again, these systems fall short of their intent to keep product in the pipe and surrounding communities safe. 🧵(6/6)

Despite this, the operator didn’t attempt to address the concerns that existed on the pipeline. 🧵(5/6)

Years before the Mayflower disaster, Exxon-Mobil, within the bounds of its integrity management program, had conducted multiple tests which uncovered more than 10 ruptures or leaks along the Pegasus Pipeline. 🧵(4/6)

Over a decade later, this disaster serves as an unfortunate yet avoidable reminder of a major problem with current pipeline safety regulations. To this day, when pipelines fail, causing disasters, operators can walk away scot-free. 🧵(3/6)

The spill forced the evacuation of 22 homes, killed hundreds of animals, severely impacted the surrounding wetland habitat, and nearly entered Lake Conway. 🧵(2/6)

10 years ago, the Pegasus Pipeline, then operated by Exxon-Mobil, dumped over 100,000 gallons of crude oil into a suburban community in Mayflower, Arkansas. 🧵(1/6)

“The approval of yet another project that places people and the environment at increased risk, including EJ communities, is unwarranted,” said @BillCaram . “FERC should heed the warning of GTN and TC Energy’s PHMSA enforcement records and not authorize this expansion.”
